The proposed project consists of a recreational and environmental educational facility. Greylock Glen is a 1,063-acre site located on Mount Greylock\u2019s eastern slope. In 1989, the property was purchased by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in accordance with Chapter 676 of the Acts of 1985, a legislative action calling for development and lease of the parcel to support recreational use and stimulate economic development. The project includes a 100,000-square foot (sf) 170-room lodge and conference center, a 2,500-seat amphitheater, an 11,000-sf environmental education center, a 6,000-sf maintenance building, a 140-site campground, and supporting infrastructure and amenities. The project also includes improvements to the onsite trail network. Approximately 1,000 acres will be permanently protected as conservation lands. Environmental impacts include the alteration of 48 acres of land, the creation of 8 acres of impervious area, the alteration of 1,028 sf of Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW), the alteration of 8 acres of Riverfront Area, the generation of 2,410 new average vehicle trips, the creation of 913 new parking spaces, the use of 55,400 gallons per day (GPD) of water, and the generation of 50,363 GPD of wastewater. The project requires an Order of Conditions from the Adams Conservation Commission (and on appeal only, a Superseding Order of Conditions from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP)), a Sewer Permit from MassDEP, and review by the Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program. Because the project involves financial assistance from the Commonwealth and is being undertaken, in part, by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), a State Agency, MEPA jurisdiction is broad.<\/p>\n<p>A consultation session will be held to receive advice and comments from agencies, officials, and citizens regarding which environmental issues, if any, are significant for this project.

The project includes demolition of an existing 956-sf structure. The 36-acre project site includes an existing restaurant, bank, and other retail buildings. The proposed project will result in an additional 6.6 acres of land alteration, including 4.4 acres of new impervious area and alteration of 4,500 sf of Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW). The proposed development will result in 3,602 new vehicle trips per day for a total of 10,656 trips on an average weekday.\u00a0\u00a0Ninety-five new parking spaces are proposed (for a total of 768 spaces).\u00a0 Additional water use is estimated at 5,069 gallons per day (gpd) (for a total of 13,642 gpd) and wastewater at 4,608 gpd (for a total of 12,402 gpd). The ENF proposes a connection\u00a0for wastewater disposal to\u00a0the municipal sewer system and indicates that the proponent is evaluating\u00a0expansion of the existing fire pond to service the domestic water needs of the proposed retail center development.<\/p>\n<p>Portions of the project site\u00a0are mapped as priority habitat for two\u00a0state-listed plant species. The project may require a Conservation and Management Permit from the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP). The project requires an Order of Conditions from the Lenox Conservation Commission (and, on appeal only, a Superseding Order from MassDEP).

The proposed project involves the production of 15 million gallons\/year of biodiesel via esterificaton by the Proponent, Interstate Biofuels, on the sites of the former Niagara and Centennial paper mills. The 6.3-acre site consists of two parcels of industrially-zoned land in the Towns of Lenox and Lee. The majority of deliveries of feedstock to the site and biodiesel outbound from the site will be via rail (the site has access to active rail service). The current structure on-site is proposed to be adapted to contain the requisite biodiesel production processes. The site is located within the boundaries of the Upper Housatonic River Area of Environmental Concern (ACEC). A portion of the site is within the 100-year flood plain and within the Riverfront Area. The project will require Orders of Conditions from the Towns of Lenox and Lee.<\/p>\n<p>A consultation session will be held to receive advice and comments from agencies, officials, and citizens regarding which environmental issues, if any, are significant for this project.

At the public meeting on November 30th, BEAT requested a plan showing the topography of the site at 1 foot contours stamped by a licensed surveyor. James Scalise said they already had this &#8211; but when questioned further &#8211; had not submitted it with the ENF. BEAT also requested an accident report for Housatonic Railroad for the last 20 years. We know of at least 3 train derailments by this railroad next to or into the river. BEAT believes there are much, much better locations for a biodiesel plant. They should not be permitted to have this facility right on the river. The entire site is within 200 feet of the river, and they are proposing to have 1000 foot long pipes running along the river carrying oil from the plant to the huge tanks at the north end of the property.<\/p>\n<p>For copies: Michelle Henderson (917) 653-9290<br \/>\nMEPA Analyst: <a href=\"mailto:purvi.patel@state.ma.us\">Purvi Patel<\/a> (617) 626-1029<a id=\"uhd2\" name=\"uhd\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><a class=\"style10\" href=\"#em\">return to list of projects<\/a> or <a href=\"#top\">return to top<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Upper Hathaway Dam Removal Project<\/strong> &#8211; Dalton<br \/>\nEEA# 14493<\/p>\n<p>Issued January 22, 2010<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web1.env.state.ma.us\/EEA\/emepa\/mepacerts\/2010\/sc\/rod\/14493frod.pdf\">Secretary&#8217;s Final Record of Decision (pdf)<\/a><br \/>\nSecretary granted a Full EIR Waiver<\/p>\n<p>Issued December 16, 2006<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web1.env.state.ma.us\/EEA\/emepa\/mepacerts\/2009\/sc\/rod\/14493drod.pdf\">Secretary&#8217;s Record of Decision (pdf)<\/a><br \/>\nSecretary proposes to grant a Full EIR Waiver<\/p>\n<p>Issued December 16, 2006<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web1.env.state.ma.us\/EEA\/emepa\/mepacerts\/2009\/sc\/enf\/14493exenf.pdf\">Secretary&#8217;s Certificate (pdf)<\/a><br \/>\ndoes not require an Environmental Impact Report<\/p>\n<p>Submitted October 7, 2009<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web1.env.state.ma.us\/EEA\/emepa\/mepadocs\/2009\/100709em\/nps\/enf\/14493.pdf\">Environmental Notification Form (first page pdf)<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeatnews.org\/News\/images\/Upper Hathaway Dam Removal Project Expanded ENF.pdf\">Full ENF (pdf 16.6 Mb)<\/a><br \/>\nComments now due December 4, 2009<br \/>\n&#8211; <em>BEAT Note: The proponent will be submitting additional information and will be changing the proposed access road to the site.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>BEAT&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeatnews.org\/News\/images\/Comments\/20091208HathawayDam.pdf\">comments (pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For copies: Aaron Weieneth (781) 224-6222<br \/>\nMEPA Analyst:<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:aisling.eglington@state.ma.us\">Aisling Eglington<\/a> (617) 626-1024<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>MEPA Site Visit and Public Consultation<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>EEA# 14493 \u00a0Upper Hathaway Dam Removal, Dalton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The City of Pittsfield has submitted an Expanded Environmental Notification Form (ENF), with a request for a full waiver of the requirement to prepare a mandatory Environmental Impact Report (EIR). As described in the Expanded ENF, the City proposes to remove the Upper Hathaway Dam as part of stream restoration efforts to restore connectivity between the Housatonic River and the upper reaches of Hathaway Brook. The dam currently impounds Hathaway reservoir. Both structures were historically used for water supply but have been abandoned since the 1950\u2019s. The dam removal project is intended to allow migration of brook trout and provide other ecological benefits including \u00a0restoration of natural flow patterns and enhanced habitat value.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed project involves filling portions of Hathaway reservoir to restore the former stream channel and upland topography, which will result in a net loss of 19,300 square feet of Land Under Water and 400 linear feet of Inland Bank. The project will impact 22,870 square feet of Riverfront Area.<\/p>\n<p>The project requires a 401 Water Quality Certificate and Beneficial Use of Solid Waste Permit from MassDEP, an Order of Conditions from the Dalton Conservation Commission, and a Section 404 Permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. \u00a0The project may also require a permit from the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Office of Dam Safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Site Visit date\/time:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <u>\u00a0Monday October 26th \u00a0at 2pm<br \/>\n<\/u><strong>Location: <\/strong>Pittsfield Wastewater Treatment Plant \u00a0(WWTP)- Utility Drive, Pittsfield (off Holmes Road).
