Online: https://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?sh=hear

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal program created by Congress for the purpose of alleviating poverty nationwide. The CSBG is administered at the Federal level by the Office of Community Services (OCS), a branch of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). In New York State, the Secretary of State is charged by Article 6-D of the NY Executive Law with administration of the CSBG program in the state, including distribution of New York's federal CSBG allocation and monitoring of the recipients of those funds.

This hearing will focus on the CSBG program within the State of New York as administered by the New York State Department of State, including, but not limited to, the development of the New York State Department of State's CSBG Management Plan. The Management Plan delineates the manner in which funds will be expended and how the State will meet the federal CSBG program requirements.

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 applicant has certified that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's consistency certification and accompanying public information and data are available for inspection on the New York State Department of State’s website at: http://www.dos.ny.gov/opd/programs/pdfs/Consistency/F-2021-0217A.pdf and http://www.dos.ny.gov/opd/programs/pdfs/Consistency/F-2021-0217B.pdf

In F-2020-0217, or the “Oak Orchard Harbor Dredging Project”, the applicant – New York State Office of General Services – proposes to dredge the channel to +235.3 feet, IGLD85 (-8.0 feet LWD) in the Entrance Channel and Lake Approach Channel (LAC)-West and +236.3 feet, IGLD85 (-7.0 feet LWD) in the LAC-East, plus a 1-foot overdredge allowance. Dredged material will be placed in a nearshore placement area east of the outlet that has been utilized by the USACE during previous dredging activities and at elevations not to exceed +238.3 feet, IGLD85. The proposed project is to dredge up to approximately 8,076 cubic yards (CY) of material within the 2.91-acre dredge limits The nearshore placement area encompasses 25.7-acres. Material will be dredged by mechanical or hydraulic methods, loaded onto transport scows and other equipment (if mechanically dredged) and placed within the placement area, or piped directly (if hydraulically dredged).

The purpose of the proposed project is to dredge the outlet of Oak Orchard Harbor to Lake Ontario and place dredged material within the Lake Ontario littoral drift system in order to maintain navigation within the channel, supplement the USACE ongoing operations and maintenance efforts with a one-time dredge event and retain sediment within the littoral drift system to support the natural longshore sediment transport. The project will occur at the outlet channel between Oak Orchard Harbor and Lake Ontario, in the Town of Carlton, Orleans County.
