Part 1 - Project and Setting

Instructions for Completing Part 1

Part 1 is to be completed by the applicant or project sponsor. Responses become part of the application for approval or funding,

are subject to public review, and may be subject to further verification.

Complete Part 1 based on information currently available. If additional research or investigation would be needed to fully respond to

any item, please answer as thoroughly as possible based on current information; indicate whether missing information does not exist,

or is not reasonably available to the sponsor; and, when possible, generally describe work or studies which would be necessary to

update or fully develop that information.

Applicants/sponsors must complete all items in Sections A & B. In Sections C, D & E, most items contain an initial question that

must be answered either “Yes” or “No”. If the answer to the initial question is “Yes”, complete the sub-questions that follow. If the

answer to the initial question is “No”, proceed to the next question. Section F allows the project sponsor to identify and attach any

additional information. Section G requires the name and signature of the applicant or project sponsor to verify that the information

contained in Part 1is accurate and complete.

Proposed Regional Recovery and Recycling Residue Facility (RRRF) Project Site at the Town of Brookhaven Solid Waste Management Facility (SWMF)

Town SWMF at 350 Horseblock Road in the hamlet of Yaphank, Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York 11719 (see Site Location Map)

Replace the Town of Brookhaven's existing combined 270-acre C&D and Ash landfill, containing approximately 215 acres of waste area, with a new

121-acre Regional Recovery and Recycling Residue Facility (RRRF) Project Site, containing an approximately 59-acre waste footprint. The proposed

facility will serve the Nassau-Suffolk region by accepting primarily ash residue generated by local Waste-To-Energy (WTE) plants, which serve as the

region's primary solid waste management system. See Attachment for greater detail.

pollutants are anticipated to be de minimus

There will be air emissions assoc. with the proposed facility; however, experience shows that emissions from such facilities are de minimus & below

regulatory limits for control systems. There is the potential for emissions from associated operations resulting from mobile equipment & truck traffic.

These emissions will be significantly less than what would be produced by truck traffic needed to move WTE ash residue off LI, absent the project.

✔

The construction and operation of the proposed facility will generate noise. However, the Applicant would comply with applicable noise regulations

per Chapter 50 of the Town of Brookhaven Town Code.

✔

Existing forested areas on the subject property will be removed for the construction of the proposed RRRF. However, a min. 25 ft-foot-wide

vegetative buffer will be retained, leaving existing trees in place around the Project Site to provide a natural noise barrier and screen.

✔

Proposed outdoor lighting will be provided at strategic locations along the proposed perimeter roadways. Fixtures are expected to be no taller than

15 feet. Lighting will be dark sky compliant, with no light spill beyond the property boundaries. Portable lights may be used at times.

✔

An Odor Control Plan is being prepared as part of the NYSDEC SWMF Permit to provide assessments and mitigation measures for potential odor

releases from the operations at the proposed Regional RRRF.

✔

*The proposed RRRF will be primarily a disposal area for ash residue, which is a WTE combustion process by-product. The majority of the ash residue will

come from the Covanta Hempstead WTE facility, where Town of Brookhaven MSW is taken for processing. The proposed Regional RRRF itself will not

generate solid waste; it will only generate leachate.

*Because the project site is located in an archaeologically sensitive area and because New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

(NYSDEC) approval will be needed for the SWPPP, a Project Notification would be submitted to the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic

Preservation (OPRHP) to initiate review of the impacts to potential archaeological resources (if present) in accordance with Section 14.09 of the

State Historic Preservation Act. Upon receipt of the Project Notification, the OPRHP may request additional information to inform its review, such

as a Phase I Archaeological Survey.
