Dear Mr. Schermerhorn:
This office has reviewed your request for Department of the Army authorization dated
December 22, 2020, and the attached drawing entitled “Haviland Meadows, Owner:
Schermerhorn Residential Holding”, Sheet No. W-100, prepared by Environmental Design
Partnership LLP, dated June 1, 2022, and last revised on July 15, 2022. The submitted
information describes a proposal that would consist of the following:
The construction of a new single-family home, barn, access road and attendant
features entirely in uplands along the northern side of Haviland Rd. at coordinates
43°21'31.3"N 73°39'02.4"W. None of the work associated with the construction of the
new development, nor any of the other activities described in the above referenced
drawing would be conducted within a manner that is within the jurisdiction of this
office, and/or is not a regulated activity under the jurisdiction of this office.
Based solely on a review of the information provided, it appears that a Department of
the Army permit, in accordance with 33 CFR 320-332, will not be required for your proposal.
Care should be taken so that any fill or other construction materials, including debris, do not
enter any waterbody or wetland to become a drift or pollution hazard.
The Department of the Army regulates construction activities in and over navigable
waterways and discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States,
including intermittent and perennial streams and coastal and inland wetlands regardless of
their size. If your proposal would involve such work, and has not been portrayed as such in
the drawing you provided, you should contact this office immediately so that a project-specific
determination can be made as to whether a Department of the Army permit will be required.
Please note that this determination does not eliminate the need to obtain any other
Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law for the above-described work, including
any required permit from the NYSDEC.
