ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES HAMPTON BAYS 2011 GEIS FINAL DRAFT Mary Jean Green HBCA Board Member

COMMUNITY GOALS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES

HAMPTON BAYS WILL BE A LEADER IN ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

PRESERVATION EFFORTS TO SAVE COMMUNITY’S REMAINING OPEN SPACE

A HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

VITALITY OF EEL GRASS AND WETLANDS

Plant and Animal Biodiversity Supported on Land and Sea with Lush Native Species and Flourishing Marine Life

DRINKING WATER AND GROUND WATER PROTECTION

Effects of Build-Out Development and Implementation of the Hutton Update on 2006 Corridor Study on Soil, Surface Waters, Wetlands, Groundwater, as well as Vegetated Areas and Habitat

Geology, Soils and Topography: Impacts will Include Additional Erosion, Drainage Problems, Sedimentation and Storm Water Runoff

Surface Waters, Wetlands, Ground Water, Drinking Water, Critical Environmental Areas, Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat Quality Will be Negatively Impacted and Will Further Deteriorate (Including Economic Vitality)

REMEDIATION Larger setbacks and Proper Grading of Roads Prohibitive Legislation Against Clear Cutting Zone Changes from Village Business and Highway Business to HO/HC, with a Residential Component

REMEDIATION Non-Specific Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Storing and Disposal of Hazardous Waste

REMEDIATION Partial Elimination of Chemical Pesticides Recharge of Storm Water Buffers & Proper Design of New Facilities

REMEDIATION Advanced Septic Waste Practices Includes: – Direct Discharge into Site Soils & the 50 Ft Buffer from Bulkheads

REMEDIATION Increased Open Space in Sensitive Areas Pervious Ground surfaces

CONCLUSION Presumably If these Remedies are put in place, Implementation of the Corridor Study and full Build-Out will have No Significant Impacts to Our Environmental Resources Mentioned Above.
