Re: Proposed Agro-Chem Expansion
Duplainville Road, north of Adams Road
Tax Parcel ID #: 177.-1-67
City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County
Dear Mr. Munter:
The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has determined that your
proposal to expand the Agro-Chem facility on the above-described parcel in the city of
Saratoga Springs is not likely to result in the take of threatened or endangered species.
This determination is based on the information submitted by your office on January 19tn,
2020 and reviewed by staff from the Division of Fish and Wildlife. Though Karner blue
butterFlies (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) and Frosted elfins (Callophrys irus) occur nearby,
there is no suitable habitat on or near this parcel for either species. In addition, DEC does
not have jurisdiction over tree cutting on this parcel, as there are no known bat hibernacula
near this site. Therefore, no permit is required at this time pursuant to the implementing
regulations (6NYCRR Part 182) of the New York State Endangered Species Act (Article 11-
0535).
Be advised that any changes in location, expansion of the footprint of the project,
modifications of the scope, or changes in the timing of proposed actions that are not
identified in the submission referenced above may trigger DEC authorization. Please
reinitiate contact with this office if such activities are contemplated.
Please note that this letter does not relieve you of the responsibility of obtaining any
necessary permits or approvals from other agencies or local municipalities.
Sincerely,
Beth Magee
Deputy Regional Permit Administrator
