NEW BUSINESS:
PB-12-12 – Alpco Recycling, Inc. – 846R Route 31F – Industrial site plan (transfer station) – Sketch – Al Plumb, Jr. of Alpco Recycling and Engineer Greg Petereit were present to explain this application. Mr. Plumb would like to build a transfer station on property he owns behind Townsend Oil (922 Route 31F) with access via an existing easement over Townsend’s driveway. He is proposing a 40,000 sq. ft. building, which would not be visible from the road due to topography, wooded areas and distance. The transfer operation is currently being performed in an outside area (approx. 37,000 sq. ft.) on Alpco’s property. By moving the operation inside a building, it will reduce noise and should eliminate the seagull population. Materials brought in would be separated into recyclables vs. trash. Trash would be consolidated and hauled out for disposal. The recyclables would be moved to Alpco’s current facility for processing. With the new building, handling capacity would be 750 tons/day vs. 250 tons/day at the present time.
The building would be four-sided
with 4 to 5 employees and one machine to sort materials and load trucks. Building will be on virgin ground; old
landfill is to the east of this area.
Truck staging area and turnaround would be 200 ft. wide, going up to the
property line. There will be scales with
a scale office. Bathrooms and a break
room will be included in the building design.

the adopted town-wide Master Plan, and will not result in any significant
adverse environmental impacts, a Negative Declaration is declared, and the Town
Board hereby directs the Clerk to immediately file the determination in accordance
with section 6 NYCRR 617.12.
11. In reaching this finding,
the Town Planning Board has:
(a) Considered the action as defined in sections 6 NYCRR 617.2 (b) and
617.3 (g),
(b) Reviewed the EAF,
the criteria contained in subdivision 6 NYCRR 617.7 (c) and any other

(c) Thoroughly analyzed the identified relevant
areas of environmental concern to determine if the action may have a
significant adverse impact on the environment; and,
(d) Set forth its determination of significance in
this resolution, in addition to the corresponding long environmental assessment
form.
12. In determining significance,
the Town Planning Board has determined whether the proposed Type 1 Action may
have a significant adverse impact on the environment, the impacts that may be
reasonably expected to result from the proposed action compared against the
criteria in 6 NYCRR 617. The criteria
considered indicators of significant adverse impacts on the environment were:
(a) A substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; a substantial increase in solid waste production; a substantial increase in potential for erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems;
(b) The removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; impacts on a significant wildlife habitat area; substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse impacts to the natural resources;
(c) The impairment of the environmental characteristics of a critical environmental area as designated pursuant to section 617.14 (g);
(d) The creation of a material conflict with a community’s current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted;
(e) The impairment of the character or quality of important historical, archeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character;
(f) A major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy;
(g) The creation of a hazard to human health;
(h) A substantial change in the use or intensity of use, of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources or in its capacity to support existing uses;
(i) The encouraging or attracting of a large number of people to a place or places for more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action;
(j) The creation of material demand for other actions that would result in one or the above consequences;
(k) Changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment; or
(l) Two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria of this subdivision.
13. For the purposes of determining whether an action may cause one of the consequences listed above, the Town Board considered reasonably related long-term, short-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts, including other simultaneous or subsequent actions, which were;
(a) Included in any long range
plan of which the action under consideration is a part;
(b) Likely to be undertaken as a
result thereof, or
(c) Dependent thereon.
14. In addition, the Town Planning Board considered the significance of a likely consequence (i.e., whether it is material, substantial, large or important) should be assessed in connection with:
(a) Its setting (e.g., urban or
rural);
(b) Its probability of
occurrence;
(c) Its duration;
(d) Its irreversibility;
(e) Its geographic scope;
(f) Its magnitude; and
(g) The number of people
affected.
