1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared for major activities associated
with construction of a solar PV array in the Town of Yorktown. This SWPPP includes the elements
necessary to comply with the national baseline general permit for construction activities enacted by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) program and all local governing agency requirements. This SWPPP must be executed
and permit coverage must be obtained prior to the commencement of construction activity.
This SWPPP has been developed in accordance with the “New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity,” Permit No. GP-0-25-001, effective January 29,
2025 through January 28, 2030. The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify and detail stormwater
management, pollution prevention, and erosion and sediment control measures necessary during and
following completion of construction.
This SWPPP and the accompanying plans entitled “Jacob Road Solar” have been submitted as a set.
These engineering drawings are considered an integral part of this SWPPP. Therefore, this SWPPP is
not considered complete without them. References made herein to “the plans” or to a specific “sheet”
refer to these drawings.
This report considers the impacts associated with the intended development with the purpose of:
1. Maintaining existing drainage patterns as much as possible while continuing the conveyance
of upland watershed runoff;
2. Controlling increases in the rate of stormwater runoff resulting from the proposed development
so as not to adversely alter downstream conditions; and
3. Mitigating potential stormwater quality impacts and preventing soil erosion and sedimentation
resulting from stormwater runoff generated both during and after construction.
The analysis and design completed and documented in this report is intended to be part of the
application made for a solar development project completed on behalf of the Owner/Operator.
1.1 Project Description
Freestone Renewables, LLC is proposing a development project. The project will disturb one (1) or
more acres and as such, preparation of this SWPPP is required under GP-0-25-001. A Site Location
Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-1.
This type of project is included in Table 2 of Appendix B of GP-0-25-001; and the project site is located
in the New York City Watershed East of the Hudson, which is listed in Appendix C of GP-0-25-001.
Therefore, this SWPPP includes post-construction stormwater management practices designed for
enhanced phosphorus removal standards, as well as erosion and sediment controls.
This project is located within the Town Of Yorktown regulated, traditional land use control Municipal
Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4). Therefore, an MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form is required
to accompany NOIs submitted to the NYSDEC.
Runoff from the project site will discharge to the Hunter Brook, which is included in the list of Section
303(d) water bodies included in Appendix D of GP-0-25-001.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 2
Project construction activities will consist primarily of site grading, paving, and the installation of storm
drainage infrastructure necessary to support the proposed development project. Construction phase
pollutant sources anticipated at the site are disturbed (exposed) soil, vehicle fuels and lubricants,
chemicals associated with building construction, and building materials. Without adequate control
there is the potential for each type of pollutant to be transported by stormwater.
1.2 Stormwater Pollution Controls
The stormwater pollution controls outlined herein have been designed and evaluated in accordance
with the following standards and guidelines:
• New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, dated July 31, 2024 (Design
Manual).
• New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, dated
November 2016 (SSESC).
• Rules and Regulations for the Protection from Contamination, Degradation and Pollution of
the New York City Water Supply and Its Sources, amended November 2019.
• Bureau of Water Supply, Applicant’s Guide to Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans, dated
September 2011.
• Town of Yorktown Code, Chapter 248 Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment
Control
Stormwater quality will be enhanced through the implementation of temporary and permanent erosion
and sediment control measures, the proposed stormwater management practice(s), and other
construction-phase pollution controls outlined herein.
The proposed stormwater management approach consisting of on-site stormwater management
practices will adequately collect, treat, and convey the stormwater runoff.
Bioretention areas will be used to manage and treat stormwater runoff generated by the proposed
development project.
Pre- and post-development surface runoff rates have been evaluated for the 1-, 10-, and 100-year 24-
hour storm events. Comparison of pre- and post-development watershed conditions demonstrates that
the peak rate of runoff from the project site will not be increased.
2.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 State Environmental Quality Review
The construction activity is subject to State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR). The project is
considered a Type I action. As such, SEQR coordination has been initiated. A copy of the SEQR
documentation, in accordance with Part I.A.5. of GP-0-25-001, will be provided in Appendix A, as Figure
A-5 upon receipt.

existing drainage patterns, soil types, ground cover to remain, planned site development, site grading,
and stormwater management facilities proposed as part of site improvements. The Post-Development
Watershed Delineation Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-7.
The results of the computer modeling used to analyze the overall watershed under post-development
conditions are presented in Appendix D. A summary of the post-development watershed runoff rates
at each Design Point is presented in Table 9.
Spacing the panels one table width apart allows for the area of the solar panels to be considered
pervious.
2.14 Description of Design Points
The study area consists of an overall watershed that encompasses approximately 60± acres, including
the 22± acre project site and 20± acre area of disturbance. The overall watershed was broken down
into smaller watersheds, or subcatchments, to allow for analysis of runoff conditions at several
locations throughout the study area. Each of these locations was defined as a Design Point (DP) in
order to compare the effects resulting from stormwater management facilities proposed as part of the
project. Descriptions of each of the selected Design Points are provided below.
• Analysis Point 1: Overland and shallow concentrated flow discharging toward the southeast to
Hunter Brook.
• Analysis Point 2: Overland and shallow concentrated flow discharging toward the northwest
corner of the site
3.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING
Chapter 3 of the Design Manual outlines a six-step planning process for site planning and selection of
stormwater management practices that must be implemented for both new development and
redevelopment projects. This process is intended to develop a design that maintains pre-construction
hydrologic conditions through the application of environmentally sound development principles, as
well as treatment and control of runoff discharges from the site. The following sections outline the
step-by-step process and how it has been applied to this project.
The goals of this Stormwater Management Plan are to analyze the peak rate of runoff under pre- and
post-development conditions, to maintain the pre-development rate of runoff in order to minimize
impacts to adjacent or downstream properties, and to minimize the impact to the quality of runoff
exiting the site.
The Design Manual provides both water quality and water quantity objectives to be met by projects
requiring a “Full SWPPP”. These objectives will be met by applying stormwater control practices to limit
peak runoff rates and improve the quality of runoff leaving the developed site.
3.1 STEP 1 – Site Planning
During the Site Planning process, the project site is evaluated for implementation of the green
infrastructure planning measures identified in Table 3.1 of the Design Manual, in order to preserve
natural resources and reduce impervious cover. Appendix C provides a description of each green
infrastructure planning measure, along with a project specific evaluation.

3.5 STEP 5 – Apply Standard SMPs to Address Remaining Water Quality Volume
As previously discussed, 100% of the required WQv is being provided and the minimum RRv is being
reduced through RRv practices. As such, the water quality and runoff reduction volume criteria have
been met and no other standard SMPs are required.
3.6 STEP 6 - Apply Volume and Peak Rate Control
This report presents the pre-development and post-development features and conditions associated
with the rate of surface water runoff within the study area. For both cases, the drainage patterns,
drainage structures, soil types, and ground cover types are considered in this study.
3.6.1 NYSDEC Requirements for New Development
Chapter 4 of the Design Manual requires that projects meet three separate stormwater quantity
criteria:
1. The Channel Protection (CPv) requirement is designed to protect stream channels from
erosion. This is accomplished by providing 24 hours of extended detention for the 1-year, 24-
hour storm event. The Manual defines the CPv detention time as the center of mass detention
time through each stormwater management practice.
2. The Overbank Flood Control (Qp) requirement is designed to prevent an increase in the
frequency and magnitude of flow events that exceed the bank-full capacity of a channel, and
therefore must spill over into the floodplain. This is accomplished by providing detention
storage to ensure that, at each Design Point, the post-development 10-year 24-hour peak
discharge rate does not exceed the corresponding pre-development rate.
3. The Extreme Flood Control (Qf) requirement is designed to prevent the increased risk of flood
damage from large storm events, to maintain the boundaries of the pre-development 100-year
floodplain, and to protect the physical integrity of stormwater management practices. This is
accomplished by providing detention storage to ensure that, at each Design Point, the post-
development 100-year 24-hour peak discharge rate does not exceed the corresponding pre-
development rate.
3.6.2 Methodology
In order to demonstrate that the NYSDEC detention requirements are being met, the Design Manual
requires that a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the pre- and post-development conditions be
performed using the Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Release 20 (TR-20) and
Technical Release 55 (TR-55) methodologies. HydroCAD, developed by HydroCAD Software Solutions
LLC of Tamworth, New Hampshire, is a Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) program for analyzing the
hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics of a given watershed and associated stormwater management
facilities. HydroCAD uses the TR-20 algorithms and TR-55 methods to create and route runoff
hydrographs.
HydroCAD has the capability of computing hydrographs (which represent discharge rates characteristic
of specified watershed conditions, precipitation, and geologic factors) combining hydrographs and
routing flows though pipes, streams and ponds. HydroCAD can also calculate the center of mass
detention time for various hydraulic features. Documentation for HydroCAD can be found on their
website: http://www.hydrocad.net/.

In accordance with Part III.B.c.iv. a phasing plan for the project and sequencing plans for all phases
have been provided. The plans address clearing and grubbing, excavation and grading, utility and
infrastructure installation, final stabilization, and any other construction activity at the site that will
result in soil disturbance. Refer to the plans for further information on the project phasing and
sequencing.
5.0 CONSTRUCTION-PHASE POLLUTION CONTROL
The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify the temporary and permanent erosion and sediment
control measures that have been incorporated into the design of this project. These measures will be
implemented during construction, to minimize soil erosion and control sediment transport off-site, and
after construction, to control the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff from the developed site.
Erosion control measures, designed to minimize soil loss, and sediment control measures, intended
to retain eroded soil and prevent it from reaching water bodies or adjoining properties, have been
developed in accordance with the following documents:
• NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activity, Permit
No. GP-0-25-001 (effective January 29, 2025 through January 28, 2030)
• New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, NYSDEC
(November 2016)
• Westchester County Erosion and Sediment Control Manual
• Town of Yorktown Code, Chapter 248 Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment
Control
The SWPPP and accompanying plans outline the construction scheduling for implementing the erosion
and sediment control measures. These documents include limitations on the duration of soil exposure,
criteria and specifications for placement and installation of the erosion and sediment control
measures, a maintenance schedule, and specifications for the implementation of erosion and
sediment control practices and procedures.
Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures that shall be applied during
construction generally include:
1. Minimizing soil erosion and sedimentation by stabilization of disturbed areas and by removing
sediment from construction site discharges.
2. Preservation of existing vegetation to the greatest extent practical. Following the completion
of construction activities in any portion of the site, permanent vegetation shall be established
on all exposed soils.
3. Site preparation activities to minimize the area and duration of soil disruption.
4. Establishment of permanent traffic corridors to ensure that “routes of convenience” are
avoided.
5.1 Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Measures
The temporary erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections are
included as part of the construction documents.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 14
5.1.1 Stabilized Construction Access
Prior to construction, stabilized construction access(es) will be installed, per accompanying plans, to
reduce the tracking of sediment onto public roadways.
Construction traffic must enter and exit the site at the stabilized construction access(es). The intent is
to trap dust and mud that would otherwise be carried off-site by construction traffic.
The access(es) shall be maintained in a condition, which will control tracking of sediment onto public
rights-of-way or streets. When necessary, additional aggregate will be placed atop the filter fabric to
assure the minimum thickness is maintained. All sediment and/or soil spilled, dropped, or washed
onto public rights-of-way must be removed immediately. Periodic inspection and needed maintenance
shall be provided after each substantial rainfall event.
5.1.2 Dust Control
Water trucks shall be used as needed during construction to reduce dust generated on-site. Dust
control must be provided by the Contractor(s) to a degree that is acceptable to the Owner, and in
compliance with the applicable local and state dust control requirements.
5.1.3 Temporary Soil Stockpile
Materials, such as topsoil, will be temporarily stockpiled (if necessary) on the site during the
construction process. Stockpiles shall be located in an area away from storm drainage, water bodies
and/or courses, and will be properly protected from erosion by a surrounding silt fence barrier.
5.1.4 Silt Fencing
Prior to the initiation of and during construction activities, a geotextile filter fabric (or silt fence) will be
established downgradient of all disturbed areas. These barriers may extend into non-impact areas to
provide adequate protection of adjacent lands.
Clearing and grubbing will be performed only as necessary for the installation of the sediment control
barrier. To facilitate effectiveness of the silt fencing, daily inspections and inspections immediately
after significant storm events will be performed by the Contractor(s). Maintenance of the fence will be
performed as needed.
5.1.5 Temporary Seeding
Because this site directly discharges to one of the 303(d) segments listed in Appendix D or is located
in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C of GP-0-25-001, temporary soil stabilization measures
must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days from the
date the soil disturbance activity has temporarily ceased.
5.2 Permanent Erosion and Sediment Control Measures
The permanent erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections are
included as part of the construction documents.
5.2.1 Establishment of Permanent Vegetation
Disturbed areas that will be vegetated must be seeded in accordance with the contract documents.
The type of seed, mulch, and maintenance measures as described in the contract documents shall
also be followed.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 15
Because this site directly discharges to one of the 303(d) segments listed in Appendix D or is located
in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C of GP-0-25-001, permanent soil stabilization measures
must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days from the
date the soil disturbance activity has permanently ceased.
Final site stabilization is achieved when all soil-disturbing activities at the site have been completed
and a uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80 percent has been established or
equivalent stabilization measures (such as the use of mulches or geotextiles) have been employed on
all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures.
5.2.2 Rock Outlet Protection
Rock outlet protection shall be installed at the locations as indicated and detailed on the
accompanying plans. The installation of rock outlet protection will reduce the velocity and energy of
water, such that the flow will not erode downstream surfaces.
5.3 Other Pollutant Controls
Part I.C.1 of GP-0-25-001 prohibits discharges from construction material wastewater, pollutants
used in vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance, vehicle and equipment washing and
toxic or hazardous substances.
The following table identifies materials and/or chemicals commonly used and/or stored on
construction sites and should be addressed in the site-specific spill prevention and response plan:
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 17
5.4 Construction Housekeeping Practices
During the construction phase, the Contractor(s) will implement the following measures:
5.4.1 Sediment Sweeping/Vacuuming
Any sediment that is tracked by construction vehicles or erosion onto adjacent public or private
impervious surfaces must be swept or vacuumed, utilizing self-propelled and/or walk-behind
equipment, and removed on a daily basis. Kick brooms and sweeper attachments are not an
acceptable means of sweeping. Sweeping or vacuuming should not take place while tracked sediment
is wet. If tracked sediment is compacted, the sediment must be scraped loose prior to sweeping or
vacuuming.
5.4.2 Material Stockpiles
Material resulting from clearing and grubbing operations that will be stockpiled on-site, must be
adequately protected with downgradient erosion and sediment controls.
5.4.3 Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance
The Contractor(s) will designate areas for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and repair. The
Contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) will utilize those areas. The areas will be protected by a temporary
perimeter berm.
5.4.4 Detergents
The use of detergents for large-scale washing is prohibited (i.e., vehicles, buildings, pavement
surfaces, etc.)
5.4.5 Spill Prevention and Response
A Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall be developed, for the pollutants identified in Section 5.3,
for the site by the Contractor(s) that addresses the following:
1. Reducing chance of spills
2. Stopping the source of spills
3. Containing and cleaning up spills
4. Disposing of materials contaminated by spills
5. Training personnel responsible for spill prevention/response
6. Material handling procedures
7. Material storage requirements
The plan shall detail the steps required in the event of an accidental spill and shall identify contact
names and phone numbers of people and agencies that must be notified.
The plan shall include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials to be stored on-site. All workers on-
site will be required to be trained on safe handling and spill prevention procedures for all materials
used during construction. Regular tailgate safety meetings shall be held and all workers that are
expected on the site during the week shall be required to attend.
5.4.6 Concrete Washout Areas
A temporary concrete washout area shall be provided for every project where concrete will be poured
or otherwise formed on-site and shall consist of an excavated or above-ground lined construction pit
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 18
where concrete trucks or equipment can be washed out after their loads have been discharged. Waste
generated from concrete wash water that shall not be allowed to flow into drainage ways, inlets,
receiving waters, highway right-of-way, or any location other than the designated concrete washout
area(s). Proper signage shall be placed adjacent to the facility to designate the “Concrete Washout
Area”. Locate the facility a minimum of 100-feet from drainage swales, storm drain inlets, wetlands,
streams, and other surface waters. Prevent surface water from entering the washout area.
The hardened residue from the concrete wash areas will be disposed of in the same manner as other
non-hazardous construction waste materials. Maintenance of the washout area shall include removal
of hardened material when 75% of the storage capacity is filled, and a minimum freeboard of 12
inches shall be maintained. The Contractor will be responsible for seeing that these procedures are
followed. The project may require the use of multiple concrete washout areas based on the frequency
of concrete pours.
5.4.7 Material Storage
Construction materials shall be stored in a dedicated staging area. The staging area shall be located
in an area that prevents negative impacts of construction materials on stormwater quality.
Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, and other toxic material must be stored in waterproof
containers. Except during application, the contents must be kept in trucks or within storage facilities.
Runoff containing such material must be collected, removed from the site, treated, and disposed of at
an approved solid waste or chemical disposal facility.
6.0 INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, AND REPORTING
6.1 Inspection and Maintenance Requirements
6.1.1 Pre-Construction Inspection and Certification
Prior to the commencement of construction, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall
conduct an assessment of the site and certify that the appropriate erosion and sediment control
measures have been adequately installed and implemented. The Contractor shall contact the Qualified
Inspector/Qualified Professional once the erosion and sediment control measures have been
installed.
6.1.2 Construction Phase Inspections and Maintenance
A Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional, as defined in Appendix A of the General Permit GP-0-25-
001, shall conduct regular site inspections between the time this SWPPP is implemented and final site
stabilization. Because this project site directly discharges to one of the 303(d) segments listed in
Appendix D of GP-0-25-001 or is located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C of GP-0-25-001,
site inspections shall occur at an interval of at least twice every seven (7) calendar days, with the
inspections separated by a minimum of at least two (2) full calendar days.
The purpose of site inspections is to assess performance of pollutant controls. Based on these
inspections, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional will decide whether it is necessary to modify
this SWPPP, add or relocate sediment barriers, or whatever else may be needed in order to prevent
pollutants from leaving the site via stormwater runoff. The general contractor has the duty to cause
pollutant control measures to be repaired, modified, maintained, supplemented, or whatever else is
necessary in order to achieve effective pollutant control.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 19
Examples of particular items to evaluate during site inspections are listed below. This list is not
intended to be comprehensive. During each inspection the inspector must evaluate overall pollutant
control system performance as well as particular details of individual system components. Additional
factors should be considered as appropriate to the circumstances.
1. Locations where vehicles enter and exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site
sediment tracking. A stabilized construction access will be constructed where vehicles enter
and exit. This access will be maintained or supplemented as necessary to prevent sediment
from leaving the site on vehicles.
2. Sediment barriers must be inspected and, if necessary, they must be enlarged or cleaned in
order to provide additional capacity. All material from behind sediment barriers will be
stockpiled on the up slope side. Additional sediment barriers must be constructed as needed.
3. Inspections will evaluate disturbed areas and areas used for storing materials that are exposed
to rainfall for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. If
necessary, the materials must be covered or original covers must be repaired or
supplemented. Also, protective berms must be constructed, if needed, in order to contain
runoff from material storage areas.
4. Grassed areas will be inspected to confirm that a healthy stand of grass is maintained. The
site has achieved final stabilization once all areas are covered with building foundation or
pavement, or have a stand of grass with at least 80 percent density. The density of 80 percent
or greater must be maintained to be considered as stabilized. Areas must be watered,
fertilized, and reseeded as needed to achieve this goal.
5. All discharge points must be inspected to determine whether erosion control measures are
effective in preventing significant impacts to receiving waters.
The inspection reports must be completed entirely and additional remarks should be included if
needed to fully describe a situation. An important aspect of the inspection report is the description of
additional measures that need to be taken to enhance plan effectiveness. The inspection report must
identify whether the site was in compliance with the SWPPP at the time of inspection and specifically
identify all incidents of non-compliance.
Within one (1) business day of the completion of an inspection, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified
Professional shall notify the Owner/Operator and appropriate contractor or subcontractor of any
corrective actions that need to be taken. The contractor or subcontractor shall begin implementing the
corrective actions within one (1) business day of the notification and shall complete the corrective
actions in a reasonable time frame.
In addition to the inspections performed by the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional, the
Contractor shall perform routine inspections that include a visual check of all erosion and sediment
control measures. All inspections and maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the
inspection and maintenance schedule provided on the accompanying plans. Sediment removed from
erosion and sediment control measures will be exported from the site, stockpiled for later use, or used
immediately for general non-structural fill.
It is the responsibility of the general contractor to assure the adequacy of site pollutant discharge
controls. Actual physical site conditions or contractor practices could make it necessary to install more
structural controls than are shown on the accompanying plans. (For example, localized concentrations
of runoff could make it necessary to install additional sediment barriers, sediment traps, etc.)
Assessing the need for additional controls and implementing them or adjusting existing controls will
be a continuing aspect of this SWPPP until the site achieves final stabilization.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2231869
Page 20
6.1.3 Temporary Suspension of Construction Activities
For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been temporarily suspended (e.g. Winter
shutdown) and temporary stabilization measures have been applied to all disturbed areas, the
frequency of Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional inspections can be reduced to once every 30
calendar days. Prior to reducing the frequency of inspections, the Owner/Operator shall notify the
NYSDEC Region 3 stormwater contact person and the Town of Yorktown in writing.
6.1.4 Partial Project Completion
For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been shut down with partial project
completion, all areas disturbed as of the project shutdown date have achieved final stabilization, and
all post-construction stormwater management practices required for the completed portion of the
project have been constructed in conformance with the SWPPP and are operational, the inspections
by the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional can stop. Prior to the shutdown, the Owner/Operator
shall notify the NYSDEC Region 3 stormwater contact person and the Town of Yorktown in writing.
If soil disturbance activities have not resumed within two years from the date of shutdown, a Notice of
Termination (NOT) shall be properly completed and submitted to the NYSDEC.
6.1.5 Post-Construction Inspections and Maintenance
Inspections and maintenance of final stabilization measures and post-construction stormwater
management practices shall be performed in accordance with Appendix G, once all disturbed areas
are stabilized and all stormwater management systems are in place and operable.
6.2 Reporting Requirements
6.2.1 Inspection Reports
Pursuant to Part IV.C of GP-0-25-001, inspection reports shall be prepared for the duration of
construction, as outlined herein, and shall be signed by the Qualified Inspector or Qualified
Professional. A sample inspection form is provided in Appendix F.

an inspection to the same extent as a paper copy stored at the site would be. If electronic
documents are kept on site, the Owner/Operator must maintain functional equipment on site
available to an inspector during normal hours of operation such that an inspector may view
the electronic documents in a format that can be red in a similar manner as a paper record
and in a legally dependable format with no less evidentiary value than their paper equivalent.
21. Upon finding a significant non-compliance with the practices described in the SWPPP or
violation of GP-0-25-001, NYSDEC may order an immediate stop to all construction activity at
the site until the non-compliance is remedied. The stop work order must be in writing, describe
the non-compliance in detail, and be sent to the Owner/Operator. Forward a copy of any stop
work order received immediately to the Owner’s/Operator’s Engineer and to the Contractor.
22. If any human remains or archaeological remains are encountered during excavation, the
Owner/Operator must immediately cease, or cause to cease, all construction activity in the
area of the remains and notify the appropriate Regional Water Engineer (RWE). Construction
activity shall not resume until written permission to do so has been received from the RWE.
23. To be authorized to implement modifications to the information previously submitted in the
eNOI, the Owner/Operator must notify NYSDEC via email at Stormwater info@dec.ny.gov
requesting access to update the eNOI, update the eNOI to reflect the modifications and
resubmit the eNOI in accordance with Part I.D., and receive an updated LOA.
24. The eNOI, SWPPP, LOA, updated LOAs, and inspection reports required by GP-0-25-001 are
public documents that the Owner/Operator must make available for review and copying by any
person within five (5) business days of the Owner/Operator receiving a written request by any
such person to review these documents. Copying of documents will be done at the requester’s
expense.
25. The Owner/Operator must terminate coverage when the project reaches total project
completion, has a planned shutdown with partial project completion, is changing
Owner/Operator or has obtained coverage under an alternative general SPDES permit or an
individual SPDES permit.
26. Have a qualified inspector perform a final site inspection prior to submitting the eNOT.
27. Have the MS4 sign the MS4 Acceptance statement on the eNOT in accordance with the
requirements in Part VII.J.
28. Prior to submitting a Notice of Termination, ensure for SMP(s) that are privately owned, the
Owner/Operator has a mechanism in place that requires operation and maintenance of the
practice(s) in accordance with the operation and maintenance plan, such as a deed covenant
in the Owner/Operator’s deed of record.

Appendix G.
32. The Owner/Operator must keep the SWPPP current so that it at all times accurately documents
the erosion and sediment controls practices that are being used or will be used during
construction, and all post-construction stormwater management practices that will be
constructed on the site. At a minimum, the Owner/Operator shall amend the SWPPP, including
construction drawings:
a) Whenever the current provisions prove to be ineffective in minimizing pollutants in
stormwater discharges from the project site;
b) Whenever there is a change in design, construction, or operation at the construction
site that has or could have an effect on the discharge of pollutants; and
c) To address issues or deficiencies identified during an inspection by the “Qualified
Inspector,” the Department, or other Regulatory Authority.
d) To document the final construction conditions.
33. When property ownership changes or when there is a change in operational control over the
construction plans and specifications, the original owner or operator must notify the new owner
or operator, in writing, of the requirement to obtain permit coverage by submitting a NOI with
the Department, in conformance with Part I.G.. For construction activities subject to the
requirements of a regulated, traditional land use control MS4, the original owner or operator
must also notify the MS4, in writing, of the change in ownership at least 30 calendar days prior
to the change in ownership.

MEMORANDUM
To: Planning Board From: Planning Department
Date: May 14, 2026 Subject: 1860 East Main Street
SBL: 15.16-1-24
____________________________________________________________________________________
This property currently has 17 multi-family units on the site; 9 apartments in the mansion house and 8
apartments in a two-story accessory building.
The subject parcel is 4.6 acres in both the C-2 and R-3 zones. Residential unit count will be determined by the
acreage in the R-3 zone minus the wetland and wetland buffer controlled areas. There is a sewer easement
along the lake for access to the sewer main in this location.
The adjacent parcel on Mohegan Avenue was acquired by the Town from the commercial development to
provide public access to the lake, though nothing has been developed here yet. It should be noted that the
buffer from Mohegan Lake is 150 feet instead of the usual 100 feet. The town should verify the DEC wetland
line is also the town wetland line.
After a preliminary meeting with town staff, the site was designed to restore and reuse the mansion house as
a community building, to provide parking for the town land on Mohegan Avenue, to create a passive public
park along Mohegan Lake, and to provide a driveway that has access to Mohegan Avenue, so users of the site
can access the traffic signal on Route 6 to make left turns. These features limit the remaining space available
to build a new residential building, therefore the proposed building footprint would require the use of
flexibility standards. Though not yet fully designed, the new building as shown exceeds the length and height
requirements of the R-3 zone. The proposed building is also within the side yard setback, although this is an
improvement over the current condition where the existing accessory building is on the property line.
The playground area should be moved somewhere on the property more private for the residents. Having the
play area along the lake may cause use by the public using the walking trail.
Respectfully submitted,
Ian Richey

Town of Yorktown Reconnaissance-Level Survey, 2006
In the Yorktown Reconnaissance Survey, the Ansonia Lodge was noted as one of 90 notable properties that
should receive additional documentation and be considered for listing for local and/or National Register designation. Originally the home of New York merchant, Henry S. Billinge, after his death, his daughter
converted the elegant Second Empire-style house to a school for young women. After numerous subsequent private owners, a period as the Ansonia Lodge (previous occupants may have also taken in boarders), and
conversion to apartment dwellings, the Billinge house survives as one of the few large summer houses representing the lake’s early resort period.

1860 E. Main Street - Mixed-Use Redevelopment – (“Ansonia Lodge”)
1. Existing Site Conditions
The property, referred to as “Ansonia Lodge,” is approx. 4.3 acres and currently
developed with the Lodge building and a separate multifamily structure totaling 17
units, Limited Access and existing nonconforming elements. (Proximity to property
lines).
2. Project Overview and Intent
The proposal includes construction of a 5,000 SF commercial building (C-2), a 40-
unit garden-style multifamily development (R-3), and the preservation and adaptive
reuse of the lodge building. The project would intend on applying Lot Density
Flexibility that would apply to Residential Zoning Districts.
3. Adaptive Reuse of the Lodge
The lodge would remain and be repurposed as a multi-purpose community space,
maintaining a longstanding feature of the site while providing a shared amenity.
4. Removal of Existing Apartment Building
The existing multifamily structure will be removed, eliminating a building located
very close to the property line and allowing for a more coordinated site plan.
5. Respect for Split Zoning
The design aligns commercial and residential uses with their respective zoning
districts, improving upon the current mixed and partially nonconforming condition.
6. Setback Encroachment – Context and Justification
A limited encroachment of approximately 20 feet into the required setback is
necessary to preserve the lodge and maintain functional site circulation. This
represents a marked improvement over the existing condition, where development
sits significantly closer to the property line.
7. Access, Circulation, and Off-Site Integration
Circulation is improved through a coordinated layout, including use of an adjacent
parcel for access and parking and improving traffic flow. Supports efficient ingress
and egress of both commercial and residential use.
8. Lakefront Edge – Passive Recreation and Preservation
Given the property’s frontage on Lake Mohegan, the design intentionally limits
disturbance along the water’s edge. A passive recreation area is proposed, including
walking paths, bench seating, and low-impact shared-use features. Existing elements
such as the boat dock would be maintained, with potential additions like canoe
storage and a small playground area, all designed to be minimally invasive. Provides
opportunity to improve water’s edge, offer landscape and enhancement of adjacent
lake area.
9. Utilities and Stormwater Management Improvements
The redevelopment will utilize modern stormwater management and utility
upgrades, improving overall site performance compared to existing conditions.
Water, sewer, and other utilities will be extended and sized appropriately to support
both uses, with coordination to ensure adequate capacity and service.
10. Overall Community and Planning Benefit
The project preserves a recognizable structure, improves site organization, provides
housing and neighborhood-scale commercial space, and enhances the lakefront with
thoughtful, low-impact amenities.

In order to get the amended site plan signed, the applicant is requesting the requirement for an
acoustical study not be required prior to signature. This study will take time to complete and require that events be held on the property in order to measure and evaluate the sound, therefore it would be
more appropriate to consider this as part of the special use permit for outdoor dining, which was only
granted for an initial one year period.
On the following page, the applicant has provided information about the other conditions in the
resolution.
A draft amended resolution is provided for your consideration.
