The existing water treatment building next to Stony Brook Reservoir requires upgrades to improve its functionality.
o Upgrades for the water treatment process
o Removal of existing septic system
Project will be done in one phase o Start date is not known because the project still has to go out to bid
o Project should take approximately 9 months, which allows units to be
manufactured and delivered
Project is believed to be a Permitted Use As of Right o Work to be completed is between the Stony Brook Reservoir and the
storage tank- therefore the criteria of storage and withdrawal is met
Project area has high quality wetland areas but these areas have been disturbed in
the past. o New disturbance of 300sq ft. will not have any detrimental effects on the
area.
