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.

A group of eight (8) related and adjoining shorefront projects located on the bayside of the Fire Island barrier in the hamlet of Fair Harbor, Town of Islip, has been submitted for DOS review. In F-2010-0969 -2010-0974, the applicants, Philip Suarez (owner of 15 Elm Walk; 140 and 144 Bay Walk); Jane Schube (owner of 148 and 152 Bay Walk); and Howard Chatzinoff (owner of 130 Bay Walk) - represented by Dan Hall at Land Use Ecological Services, Inc., Medford, NY - have certified that the proposed activities comply with and will be conducted in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the New York State Coastal Management Program. In F-2011-0505-0506, the applicant, Andrew Lippman (owner of 126 Bay Walk; and 11 Fifth Avenue), also represented by Dan Hall, has similarly certified. The applicants' federal consistency certifications and accompanying public information and data is available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York.

Applicants propose to place clean, beach fill sand material derived from an upland source (approx. 542 +/- cubic yards) within the intertidal beach and tidal wetland areas fronting several homes along Bay Walk Drive on the Great South Bay. Approximately 150 +/- cy of sand is proposed to be placed waterward of the spring high water mark and some portion of this volume is proposed be placed waterward of the apparent high water mark roughly in front of the two westernmost Suarez properties.

According to the information provided to the Department of State, the objective of the proposed work is to mitigate loss of or flooding and damage to property in front of these homes. Loss or damage may occur as a consequence of natural processes acting upon the land and structures which are situated proximate to the coastal hazard. It has been submitted that certain properties are already exposed to a degree such that a more landward placement would be infeasible at those locations. In addition to the placement of sand fill, the projects include planting of sensitive wetland areas with native beach grasses and buffering walking access paths with plantings as well.

The above projects will require several permits from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in addition to a consistency approval by the Department of State, and have been submitted for independent review by that agency.

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., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, close of business on October 15, 2011.
