Resolution Requests
October 7, 2025
Please find attached a Resolution Request Forms and Fiscal Impact Statements for two resolutions related to the
creation of the County Water District Zone of Assessment "030" (South Cross Water).
The DCWWA is requesting that the County establish County Water District Zones of Assessment "030" to provide
water services within the existing South Cross community in the Town of Hyde Park. The DCWWA is finalizing an
agreement with the owner of the South Cross Water System to acquire the system at the point in time that the
Zone of Assessment is formally created. DCWWA intends to own and operate the public water supply as a
standalone system until such a time it can provide an interconnection from its Hyde Park Regional Water System to
the existing South Cross Water distribution system. The interconnection is part of a larger project that connects the
Hyde Park Regional and Quaker Hill Water Systems. A Map, Plan and Report for Zone of Assessment "030" was
previously submitted for review. The DCWWA's ability to establish this new water service area is contingent on the
creation of the Zones of Assessment within the County Water District, encompassing all properties in the System's
service area. The DCWWA is asking the Legislature to pass two resolutions:
• Adoption of SEQR findings related to the Creation of County Water District Zone of Assessment "030", and
• Creation of County Water District Zone of Assessment "030"
The DCWWA intends to submit a resolution request under separate cover for the approval of the Restatement of
the County Water District Service Agreement pertaining to Zone of Assessment "030" and including; Zones "029A"
and "029B", and "031" as all Zones of Assessment pertain to the interconnection project between the Hyde Park
Regional Water System and the Quaker Hill Water System. Said resolution request will be submitted prior to the
December Committee and Legislature Meeting deadline.
Please find attached separate Resolution Request Forms and Fiscal Impact Statements for each of the two actions.
In addition, please find Resolutions 2024087 and 2024088, which can be used as templates for these requested
resolutions.

To:
Authority Board
From:
Jason Teed, PE, Project Manager
Subject:
Dutchess Estates Water, South Cross Water Area, and Quaker Expansion Area -
Zones of Assessment Creation- SEQR Findings
On March 31 2025, the DCWWA circulated a notice of intent to act as Lead Agency for SEQR review of the Quaker
Hill Water to Hyde Park Regional Interconnection Project. This was a revision to the SEQR circulated on April 24,
2024 to include following additional information: |
• All potential locations for a Booster Pump Station in lieu of the previous location at the North Storage
Tank.
• All potential locations for a water storage facility as no tank was previously proposed.
• The acquisition of the Dutchess Estates Water System, distribution system only, including Zone of
Assessment creation
• The acquisition of the South Cross Water System, entire infrastructure, including Zone of Assessment
creation
• The Zone of Assessment creation designated as the Quaker Hill Water Expansion (QEW) that includes any
and all parcels along several alternative routes between the Hyde Park Regional Water System and the
Quaker Hill Water System.
A copy of the Full EAF from April 24, 2024 and the revised Full EAF from March 31, 2025 SEQR circulations are
provided in the Board packet.
Authority Staff recommend approval by the Board of the accompanying resolution to adopt the SEQR findings for
the proposed water main extension from the Hyde Park Regional Water System to the Quaker Hill Water System,
the acquisition and Zone of Assessment creation of Dutchess Estates Water, the acquisition and Zone of
Assessment creation of South Cross Water, and the Zone of Assessment creation of the Quaker Hill Water
Expansion Area.
On May 14, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced changes to its final PFAS drinking
water regulations. The agency is maintaining strict, enforceable limits for PFOA and PFOS at 4 parts per trillion,
but it is rescinding limits for four other PFAS compounds: GenX, PFHxS, PFBS, and PFNA. In addition, the deadline
for compliance with the new PFOA and PFOS limits has been extended from 2029 to 2031. While these changes
may affect how utilities nationwide plan for long-term PFAS compliance, the federal health standard for PFOA and
PFOS remains unchanged. As such, this announcement does not change the need for our ongoing capital projects
to provide alternative source water for the Quaker Hill Water System, which are necessary to address confirmed
PFOA/PFOS contamination and ensure protection of public health.

Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts
Date :
Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewers) will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding
with this assessment.
Tips for completing Part 2:
•
Review all of the information provided in Part
• Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook.
•
Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2.
•
If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section.
• If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question.
• Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact.
• Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency
checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur."
• The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis.
• If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general
question and consult the workbook.
• When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action".
• Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts.
Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project.

Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts
and
Determination of Significance
Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question
in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular
element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess
the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not
have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its
determination of significance.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
To complete this section:
Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity,
size or extent of an impact.
• Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact
occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to
occur.
The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes.
• Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where
there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse
environmental impact.
• Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impac
• For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so tha
no significant adverse environmental impacts will result.

Impact on Land
The proposed action will involve construction on, and physical alteration of,
the land surface of the proposed site. The proposed construction is anticipated
to occur for a duration of approximately twelve (12) months, or in one phase.
The proposed action involves installation of a new 8-inch water main
(approximately 36,000 linear feet) to connect the Quaker Hill Water System
to the Hyde Park Regional Water System.
The Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority (DWWA) will install
the approximately 36,000 linear feet of new 8-inch water main to the east of
the existing Quaker Hill Water Main which will follow the continuous right-of-
way in a northerly direction along North Quaker Lane and turn in a westerly
to southwesterly direction following Fall Kill Road, NYS Route 9G, Mill Road,
Howard Boulevard, and Hudson Drive. In addition, a new booster pump station
will be installed at the existing North Water Storage Tank parcel. The new
water main and pump station will require excavation of rock and earth
material. The work will be in the NYSDOT and Town of Hyde Park rights-of-
way, properties owned or controlled via easement by DCWWA and will require
approximately 6.7 acres of surface disturbance for the water main trench. The
existing North Water Storage Tank site (site of the proposed booster pump
station) totals 3.67 acres, located at 56 Hudson Drive, Hyde Park, New York,
Dutchess County, 12538 (Tax ID: 133200-6165-01-136698-0000). The
project will not use or create new demand for water.
The installation of the water main is proposed predominately via directional
drilling, which is generally considered to have lower impacts on the
environment compared to traditional open-cut methods. Directional drilling
involves minimal surface disturbance as it only requires small entry and exit
points for the drilling equipment, leading to less disruption to vegetation and
soils as compared to open trench cutting along the entire length of the main.
As directional drilling minimizes surface disturbance, there is a lower risk of
contaminating soil and groundwater with pollutants from construction
materials such as fuel needed for equipment in the installation process, and
the impact on land will be minimal and low risk in nature.
The proposed action may involve construction on land on slopes of 15% or
greater, however, only a small portion of the site, approximately 20%,
contains slopes. The site of the proposed booster pump station is relatively
flat and the project will be completed without creating slopes greater than
15%. Moreover, the site of the proposed booster pump station is extremely
wooded and remote, and development will not adversely impact visibility for
nearby residences, businesses, or other facilities. The natural features of the
site will be preserved, and proper erosion and sedimentation control measures
such as rip rap or vegetative buffers will be implemented to prevent soil
erosion and water and protect the surrounding land from sedimentation and
runoff.
Bedrock at the booster pump station site is generally within five (5) feet of
the existing ground surface according to the New York State Geological Survey
Surficial Geology of Dutchess County, NY Map. The depth to bedrock along the
proposed water main route varies but is also within five (5) for a significant
portion of the proposed water main route, particularly along Fall Kill Road and
Mill Road. The depth to bedrock along Route 9G is generally expected to be
deeper according to the NRCS Soil Maps (> 5 feet). The proposed water main
will be installed below frost depth at an estimated 4-5 feet below grade. Rock
removal will be required during construction of the water mains. Disturbed
areas within the project limits will be restored to their original condition.
The proposed action will create approximately 390 square feet of impervious
surface within the greater 3.7-acre existing North Tank Site parcel. The new
booster pump station will be installed at the North Tank site, with the rest of
the interconnection pipe installed below existing roadways, with no new
impervious surface created. Stormwater runoff generated as a result of the
booster pump station will be directed to the ground surface, and proper
erosion and sedimentation controls will be implemented during pre- and post-
construction periods. The project will implement stormwater and erosion
control measures during construction such as retaining walls, riprap, or
vegetative buffers to prevent further degradation of the project limits and
protect surrounding areas from sedimentation and runoff. Additionally, any
impacted vegetation will be restored to its original condition to allow the land
to meet its natural landscape and ecosystem functions; replanting of native
vegetation will occur as necessary to restore the project site.
The proposed project as described is not expected to have a significant
adverse impact on land. The project has been carefully sited to avoid sensitive
land areas such as wetlands, floodplains, wildlife habitats, and steep slopes,
and the project will be designed to limit land disturbance to the greatest
extend possible by methods including directional drilling and site specific
stormwater and erosion controls. The project will comply with all relevant
environmental regulations and permitting requirements to ensure all land
impacts are kept to a minimum. As such, the project is not expected to have
a significant impact on land.
Impact on Surface Water
The site of the proposed action contains surface waters including streams and
wetlands. Mapped NYSDEC streams present on or passing through the project
site include NYSDEC stream ID #862-412, 862-411, 862-415, 862-415.1,
862-393, 862-398, and 862-398.1, while mapped Federal Waters and NYS
wetlands include Wetland No. HP-12, HP-40, HP-15, and SP-19. Of the above
water bodies listed, the Fall Kill River and its tributaries are documented NIS
water quality-impaired water bodies due to pollutants and nutrients.
The proposed action will disturb more than one acre of land and create
stormwater runoff as a result of the construction of the new booster pump
station at the North Tank site. The stormwater runoff generated as a result of
the new booster pump station will be directed to the ground surface,
groundwater, and potentially adjacent properties. The parcel adjacent to the
proposed booster pump station, Tax ID: 133200-6165-01-100700-0000,
totals approximately 154 acres and is vacant and undeveloped. This adjacent
parcel is comprised of dense forest and vegetation.
The remaining portion of the interconnection pipe will be installed below
existing roadways, with no new impervious surface created. Further, the
proposed action does not involve any dredging, outfall construction, or
application of herbicides or pesticide. Based on this analysis and the planned
localized stormwater management controls, the project is not anticipated to
have any substantial impacts to surface waters.
Impact on Flooding
The site of the proposed action is in a designated floodway, 100-year
floodplain, and 500-year floodplain. The project site is also located in close
proximity to a principal aquifer. The installation of a new 8-inch water main to
connect the Quaker Hill Water System to the Hyde Park Regional Water
System will be installed within the existing right-of-way of public roads and
will result in a net zero flood risk change, as the public road right-of-way will
be restored to its original condition. The proposed construction of a new
booster pump station will, however, result in the creation of approximately
390 square feet of new impervious surface, and as a result, create new
stormwater runoff at the site. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)
will be used to reduce stormwater flows and potential flood risks to the local
flood hazard areas, floodplain, and principal aquifer.
The project is not expected to cause a significant alteration to the
environmental characteristics of the site, such as the volume or velocity of
water that may cause flooding. The Project has been designed to minimize,
using best available measures, adverse effects on adjacent or nearby flood
hazard areas, and is designed to extend the life and use of the Quaker Hill
Water System to the Hyde Park Regional Water System. The project is not
expected to have any substantial impacts to flooding.
Impact on Plants and Animals
The proposed project may contain species of plants or animals that are listed
by the federal government or NYS as endangered or threatened. Based on the
EAF Mapper Report, the Blanding's Turtle (state-threatened) and Indiana Bat
(state and federally endangered) may be present within the proposed project
action area. Other common wildlife species that may pass through the project
area include frogs, turtles, deer, squirrels, birds, or chipmunks. These species
are common and typically seen in quiet, residential or urban neighborhoods.
Additionally, the proposed project contains a designated significant natural
community for the Red Maple-Hardwood Swamp (+/-100 acres) and Hemlock-
Northern Hardwood Forest (+/-750 acres).
Although species may be present within the project area, suitable habitat is
not present in the action area and the project does not otherwise present a
risk to the species. The Town of Hyde Park rights-of-way where portions of
water main installation will occur are asphalt paved, and therefore, do not
present suitable habitat for plant or animal species. Further, the North Tank
parcel is developed with a water tower, grassy landscaped areas, and fencing;
although common species like squirrels or birds may pass through, all areas
are previously disturbed, traversed areas by trucks and service workers for
maintenance that have been verified free of suitable habitat. Additionally, no
significant tree removal is anticipated as a part of this project, and as a result,
no impact to the Red Maple-Hardwood Swamp or Hemlock-Northern
Hardwood Forest, or removal of known bat hibernaculum is anticipated as part
of this project.
Impact on Agricultural Resources
The proposed project is located within a New York State Agricultural District
("DUTCO20"). However, based on a review of USDA Web Soil Survey data,
highly productive soils are not present on site. The proposed action is located
within previously disturbed areas including Hyde Park rights-of-way and a
DCWWA water tower site. The project limits are not available for agricultural
resources or farming uses. As such, no impact on agricultural resources is
anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
Impact on Historic and Archaeological Resources
The proposed project is located adjacent to a building that is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. The project site is located in the vicinity
of a Historic Building known as Quaker Lane Farms. Quaker Lane Farm, located
at 11 Ruskey Lane, is a historic farm/agricultural property dating back to the
late 19th century. The proposed project was submitted to SHPO for review on
April 17, 2024. A response was received from SHPO on May 7, 2024, noting
that the project is in an archaeologically and environmentally sensitive
location for historical sites and SHPO/OPRHP recommends a Phase IA/IB
Archaeology survey, unless prior substantial ground disturbance can be
documented. Tighe & Bond submitted additional information to SHPO in the
form of a supplementary memorandum on May 20, 2024, noting the presence
and locations of prior, significant ground disturbance, as well as details
pertaining to bedrock depths where the likelihood of historical and
archaeological resources within hard rock is extremely unlikely. No response
has been received as of the date of this SEQRA FEAF Part 1, 2, and 3
submission. Additional information can be made available upon request. An
archaeological survey will be completed if required by SHPO.
The exact interconnection water main path has not yet been through a detailed
design process. As such, a Negative Declaration conditioned to require
archeological survey of the project area following detailed design and prior to
site work is planned.
Impact on Critical Environmental Area
The project site is located within a state listed Critical Environmental Area
(CEA). The CEA is known as Hogback Hill, with the basis for designation as
sensitivity to change and habitat and species protection. The Town of Hyde
Park is the designation agency, and the CEA was established on June 7, 2009.
Since the entirety of the project site contains previously disturbed, man-
altered areas including asphalt paved rights-of-way and a parcel developed
with a water tower and associated protection infrastructure (fencing, etc.) no
impact to CEA is anticipated as a result of this project. As previously
mentioned in the sections above, the project has been carefully sited to avoid
sensitive land areas such as wetlands, floodplains, and sensitive areas, and
the project will be designed to limit land disturbance to the greatest extend
possible by methods including directional drilling and site specific stormwater
and erosion controls. As such, no significant adverse impacts to the CEA are
anticipated.
Impact on Energy
The proposed action may generate new or additional demand for energy. The
proposed booster pump station will require an estimated annual electricity
demand of 124,000kWh, which will be supplied by the grid/local utility
provider. Approximately 390 square feet of the booster station will require
energy to be heated/cooled. However, the action will not require a new or
upgrade to an existing substation, and the required energy needed to sustain
the booster pump station is minor in nature. The new facility will not be open
to the public and is not designed for long-term human occupancy. As such, no
significant impact to energy is anticipated.
Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light
The proposed action may result in an increase in noise during construction
activities only. The noise generated will be typical construction noise and
operational noise for a residential development. Hours of right-of-way
construction are anticipated to occur between 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday
through Friday. No construction activity will occur on weekends or holidays.
Additionally, the proposed project will include a generator which will be located
in a sound attenuating enclosure. The proposed noise is not expected to be
significant in nature and will not have a significant adverse impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
In addition, wall mounted light fixtures are proposed by the entrance of the
new booster pump station. However, lighting will be dark sky compliant, and
will not have a significant impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Impact on Human Health
The proposed action is located within 1,500 feet of a school, hospital, licensed
day care center, group home, nursing home, or retirement community. The
Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, North Park Elementary School, and
Creative Gardens Day Care facilities are located within 1,500 feet of the
project site. However, the proposed action does not involve the use of any
contaminants and does not involve the handling of hazardous waste or other
dangerous chemicals. Additionally, the project will not use, create, dispose of,
or store any hazardous substances as part of its construction or operation.
Proposed project work impacts are limited to the Hyde Park rights-of-way and
North Tank parcel, and pre- and post-construction activities are not
anticipated to have a significant impact on human health.

ARCHAEOLOGY COMMENTS
Phase IA/IB Archaeological Survey Recommendation
Project: Hyde Park Regional Water System Interconnection & New Booster Pump Station Project
PR#: 24PR03417
Date: May 7, 2024
The project is in an archaeologically and environmentally sensitive location for archaeological sites. Therefore,
the State Historic Preservation Office/Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (SHPO/OPRHP)
recommends a Phase IA/IB archaeological survey for components of the project that will involve ground
disturbance, unless substantial prior ground disturbance can be documented. A Phase IA/IB survey is
designed to determine the presence or absence of archaeological sites or other cultural resources in the
project's Area of Potential Effects (APE).
If you consider the entire project area to be disturbed, documentation of the disturbance will need to be
reviewed by SHPO/OPRHP. Examples of disturbance include mining activities and multiple episodes of
building construction and demolition. Documentation of ground disturbance typically consists of soil bore logs,
photos, or previous project plans. Agricultural activity is not considered to be substantial ground disturbance.
Please note that in areas with alluvial soils or fill archaeological deposits may exist below the depth of
superficial disturbances such as pavement or even deeper disturbances, depending on the thickness of the
alluvium or fill. Evaluation of the possible impact of prior disturbance on archaeological sites must consider the
depth of potentially culture-bearing deposits and the depth of planned disturbance by the proposed project.
Our office does not conduct archaeological surveys. A 36 CFR 61 qualified archaeologist should be retained to
conduct the Phase IA/IB survey.
If you have any questions concerning archaeology, please contact Dr. Josalyn Ferguson at
[email protected].

Consolidated Response Token: S6DJ1GX8S1DK
Submission Number: 24PR03417.001
Submission Description: Initial Consultation Submission
Based on our review of the Phase IA/IB Archaeological Survey Recommendation Memo, it is
the opinion of the consultant that the proposed project area or area of potential effects (APE)
includes "... substantial prior ground disturbance, " as phrased by the NYSPRHP response letter
dated May 7, 2024. Details pertaining to this assessment are included in Section 1.1 and 1.2,
below.
Additionally, we would like to provide clarity regarding the overall project scope and SEQRA
steps currently under consideration. The Duchess County Water and Wastewater Authority
(DCWWA) is currently in the process of considering an alternative treatment design location,
and it is possible that the Hyde Park Regional Water System interconnection and new booster
pump station project may not ultimately be the final, selected DCWWA alternative. The
DCWWA aspires to refine and select the most effective alternative that would provide the
greatest overall environmental and community benefit.
We have included the following information for further consideration and hope to coordinate
with Dr. Ferguson and the SHPO/OPRHP office prior to the determination of a need for a full
Phase IA/IB archaeological assessment based on the aforementioned information. We hope
that the following information may reduce your understanding of the APE for the project. We
would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this topic further.
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Tighe&Bond
1.1 Prior Ground Disturbance
The area of potential effects (APE) of the proposed interconnection route and new booster
pump station are occurring entirely within previously disturbed areas in Hyde Park. The
proposed installation of a new water main would occur within existing Hyde Park road rights-
of-way, which are asphalt paved and maintained on a regular basis, and the proposed booster
pump station would be constructed on a parcel of land that is developed with an existing
water tower and protective fencing, and grassy, landscaped areas.
Within the APE, the stretch of road right-of-way between Hudson Drive and Route 9G includes
preexisting watermain below grade; although the new proposed water main would be installed
on the opposite side of the roadway where no mains are present, the general character of
roadway and its surrounding area is a heavily developed, urbanized neighborhood landscape.
Additionally, the several portions of the proposed water main corridor, approximately 21,000
linear feet, contains shallow bedrock (shown in red in Figure 1), which makes the likelihood
of historic or archaeological resources extremely improbable.
Psg = Stratified Sand and
Gravels
Br = Bedrock, generally 3 feet

1.2 Site Soils + Hard Rock
Out of the Project's total +/-35,000 linear feet, approximately 21,000 linear feet is categorized
as hard rock, approximately 12,000 linear feet is categorized as loamy soil, and approximately
2,000 linear feet is categorized as soft rock, as detailed in the table below. Based on this
assessment, it is our opinion that the likelihood of historical and archaeological resources to
be present within this hard rock portion of the project site is extremely unlikely. A breakdown
of site soil types and estimated area is included in the table below, and a copy of the USDA
Web Soil Survey is attached.
