Short Description: Proposed Mixed-Use Development. Off-site wetland mitigation within FW MV-4.
Project Description: The applicant proposes to fill approximately 0.9 acres of federally-regulated wetlands in association with construction of a mixed-use development known as Ridge Hill Village. The project site is a 144-acre site located generally between the the south end of the Grassy Sprain Reservoir and the NYS Thruway. The proposed wetland fill is for the construction of a southbound service road west of the NYS Thruway. The sponsor proposes off-site wetland mitigation at the City of Yonkers' Sunnybrook Park, which involves the enhancement of approximately 4.1 acres of State-designate Freshwater Wetland MV-4 (Class I) through the removal of Phragmites australis and the planting of wetland tree species. The Phragmites australis will be removed by cutting and application of the herbicide glyphosate. Compliance with the DEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities (GP-02-01) will also be required and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is under review.
