Re: Freshwater Wetland GF-23
Dear Mr. Nace:
To fulfill your request, DEC Bureau of Wildlife staff inspected property for freshwater wetlands on
June 19, 2002. The property that was inspected is located between Bay Road a4d Meadowbrook Road in the
Town of Queensbury, Warren County.
The property includes a portion of the freshwater wetland GF-23 or the I00 foot adjacent area. A
portion of the wetland boundary was delineated with ribbon by Charles Maine. A DEC freshwater wetlands
permit will be required to proceed with planned development if it includes any form of fill, excavation or clear -
cutting of vegetation (to name the most commonly applies} -for restrictions) in the wetland or its 100 foot
adjacent area. The enclosed map shows the approximate location of the wetland.
The wetland survey shows the wetland to be different than that shown on the DEC freshwater wetland
regulatory map for Warren County. The additional wetlands, including the area on southeast corner along
Meadowbrook Road will be proposed for amendment to the maps using established procedures. The additions
remain non -jurisdictional until an amendment is begun by the Department of Environmental Conservation.
Whether or not a freshwater wetlands permit will be required, you are responsible for determining if any
other local, state or federal permits are required for the project(s). For information regarding permits
administered by the Department of Environmental Conservation, please contact the Division of Environmental
Permits at the office nearest you. For information regarding freshwater wetlands and permits administered by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, contact their office in Troy at 518-270-0588.
Thank you for your inquiry and the opportunity to serve you. If you have any questions regarding the
Freshwater Wetlands Law or Regulations, please contact us.
Sincerely,
A4- A�/t
