The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The United States Department of Homeland Security has submitted materials for a proposed activity which is subject to review for consistency with the Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program which contains the enforceable policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program for the area in which the activity is proposed.

The purpose of the proposed activity is to repair an bulkhead which varies in distance up to 14 feet from the proposed new bulkhead to restore the shoreline to the historic location. The proposed new bulkhead would result in approximately 200 square feet of fill, 30 cubic yards of which would be placed within tidal wetlands between the existing bottom to the MHW line.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, January 4, 2008.

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service has submitted materials for a proposed activity which is subject to review for consistency with the New York State Coastal Management Program. The supporting information and data submitted are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at 41 State Street in Albany, New York.

In F-2007-1053, The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing regulations requiring the use of chain-mat modified dredges in the Atlantic sea scallop fishery south of 41o 9.0' N. latitude, from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) from May 1 through November of each year. The chain mats reduce serious injury and mortality to sea turtles by preventing their capture in the dredge bag.

Specifically, the proposed action would require any vessel with a sea scallop dredge and an Atlantic sea scallop permit that enters waters south of 41o 9.0' N. latitude, from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the EEZ to have each dredge configured with a chain mat from May 1 through November 20 each year. The chain mat must be composed of horizontal and vertical chains configured such that the openings created by the chains have no more than 4 sides, each side must ve less than or equal to 14 inches. Vessels that enter these waters must have the chain mat installed on all dredges for the duration of the trip. Vessel are exempted from these provisions provided gear is stowed and there are no scallops on-board.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, January 4, 2008.

The Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRP includes the following new or revised enforceable policies as found in the Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRP: Policy1 and Policy Standards 1.1 – 1.5; Policy 2 and Policy Standards 2.1 – 2.3; Policy 3 and Policy Standards 3.1 – 3.2; Policy 4 and Policy Standards 4.1 – 4.3; Policy 5 and Policy Standards 5.1 – 5.4; Policy 6 and Policy Standards 6.1 – 6.3; Policy 7 and Policy Standards 7.1 – 7.2; Policy 8 and Policy Standards 8.1 – 8.6; Policy 9 and Policy Standards 9.1 – 9.5; Policy 10 and Policy Standards 10.1 – 10.5; Policy 11 and Policy Standard 11.1 – 11.2; and Policy 13 and Policy Standards 13.1 – 13.5, (with the exception of the second explanation bullet in Policy Standard 13.4 that states “liquefied natural gas facilities must be safely sited and operated,” which was not approved by OCRM for federal agency consistency review purposes only).
