RE: Wetland Delineation and Isolated Wetland determination for Tait Lane property, City
of Saratoga Springs, New York ACOE project# NAN-2014-00646.
Dear Christine,
Enclosed with this letter are maps and photographs representing the property referenced above.
Wetland data sheets that document the wetland delineation work that was completed by Copeland
Environmental LLC and a formal wetland report, including the wetland jd checklist will follow
shortly.
We are sending this information in support of our determinations that all of the wetlands on the
site are isolated from the tributary system and have no nexus to the regulated waterways under
your jurisdiction. Our review of the property shows that the site and the wetland area located on
the site do not flow off the property and therefore may not be considered waters of the United
States, as discussed below. Please review this information in preparation for your field visit.
Tait Lane Isolated wetland determinations.
The site is located in a flat landscape and is surrounding by a railroad corridor and a utility line
corridor on its eastern boundary, and NY State Route 9N on its northern boundary. Residential
homes and an apartment complex surround the other sides of the property. The site was previously
used for farming. Evidence of farming and soil borrowing were found on the site. The soil survey
indicates that the soils are a sandy loam throughout the site and the area. These are not known to
be wetland soils.
The site is not mapped within a flood plain and there are no streams identified on the site. The
NWI map shows one wetland on the site located in the eastern central portion of the property.
This wetland is not shown to extend across the rail road property to the east and in the field it does
not extend across the rail road line. There is a mapped DEC wetland within 500 feet of the eastern
portion of the property. However field investigations indicate that this state regulated wetland
does not extend on to the property. This wetland is located south east of the Tait Lane Property
and it is separated from the Tait lane property by uplands. There is no evidence that there was
One wetland in this location and there is no evidence of any connection to There are no culverts
or any other drainage structures that connect the DEC wetland and the wetlands delineated on the
Tait Lane Site. .
Northwestern Wetlands A and B - Data sheets taken in and in between the wetlands in the
northwestern section of the site where wetland A and B are located demonstrates that the wetlands
are seasonally wet and separated by upland areas. These wetlands are not connected to each
other or to the tributary system. They do not drain to any other wetland or tributary on the site.
We reviewed the entire property and found no culverts carrying drainage off site from these two
wetland areas. The wetlands are located in depressions in the landscape where it seems that soil
borrowing may have occurred at one time. The soils appear to be native; but the shallow depth
of topsoil is not representative of the mapped soil type. The site is flat and water just seems to
collect in these areas or come up from seasonal groundwater table. There are no outlets for this
water to drain off site.
Wetland BB is located on the eastern portion of the property. This wetland is wetter than the other
wetlands on the site. Vegetation and hydrologic evidence is much more definitively wetland
than the other wetlands on the site. We reviewed the rail road property, the edge of the rail road
tracks, the utility line corridor and the site boundaries. There are no culverts carrying flow across
the rail road tracks or across route 9N. There are no ditches or other drainage ways carrying flow
to the tributary system. The wetland just ends along the tracks and the utility corridor. Uplands
develop along all sides of the wetland, making it isolated from the tributary system.
In some instances the ACOE can consider a wetland connected to the tributary system if it is
neighboring, or if there is a manmade structure or fill that separates the wetland from the tributary
system. A rail road track or roadway is an example of something that could have been constructed
and divided a wetland in two. This does not appear to be the case at the Tait Lane site. There is at
least 300 feet of upland area across the rail road tracks or more. Upland woods are located at east
of the developed rail road area and there is not indication that filling in wetlands has taken place at
the site. One ACOE jurisdictional wetland was confirmed to be present on the rail road property.
However this wetland is well away from wetland BB and there are no culverts carrying flow to
this area. Several isolated wetland determinations were made by the ACOE to the east and south
east of the site, including one area with has a no significant nexus determination near the corner
of NYS Rte 29 and West Ave, southeast of Tait lane site. Although these determinations do not
directly affect the Tail Lane determination, it is clear that isolated and other non-jurisdictional are
practical and possible in this landscape position.
Wetland BB appears to have developed as water has been trapped on the site after topsoil and
farming activities have compacted the soils and created depressions. Topsoil borrowing could
also have an effected this wetland. In addition, increased development of the years may have
affected the groundwater and storm drainage accumulation at the site. Overall there is no
evidence that Wetland BB is currently, or ever was part of the tributary system. It is not adjacent
to or neighboring a regulated water body, and it certainly has different habitat type than other
wetlands in the area.
Provided to you to document the findings made herein are; flood plan maps, national wetland
inventory maps,NYS wetland and stream maps, Topographic map, Flood plain Map, Tax Maps,
wetland data sheets, soil survey map,photographs, and a wetland survey. We believe that the
findings in the field will confirm the determination that the wetlands are isolated.
Please contact me if you need any additional information or have any questions, (518) 874-1888
or kim@copelandenvironmental.com, Thank you and have a nice day.
Sincerely,

DEPARTMENT of THE ARMY
US Army Corps of Engineers, ATTN: CENAN-OP-RU
Upstate Regulatory Field office

Watervliet, New York 121894000
OCT 2 3 1014
SUBJECT: Permit Application Number NAN-2614-60646-UDE
by Denton Road, LLC
City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York
William J. MCNeary, IV
Denton Road, LLC
22 Beacon Hill Drive
Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
Dear Mr. McNeary:
On June 11, 2014, the New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
g
received a request for a Department of the Army jurisdictional determination for a 13.81
acre site that is currently owned by Denton Road, LLC, and 14 Tait Lane, LLC. This
request was made by Copeland Environmental, LLC, as our consultant. The site is
. y
located in the Hudson River watershed, along the south side of Tait Lane in the City of
Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York. The proposed project would involve the
establishment of a residential development.
The submittal received by this office on June 11, 2014, included a proposed
delineation of the extent of potential waters of the United States within the project
. p J
boundary. A site inspection was conducted by a representative of this office on July 30
2014, in which it was agreed that changes would be made to the delineation and that
the modified delineation would be submitted to this office. On August 21, 2014 this
office received the modified delineation.
Based on the material submitted, including the drawing entitled "Wetland .
Delineation Map, Tait Lane Residential, Tait Lane, Saratoga Springs, NY" re prepared b
�p p Y
Creighton Manning Engineering, LLP, dated June 4, 2014, and last revised August 7
20'14, and the observations of the representative of this office during the site inspection,
. g p ,
it has been determined.that based on the U.S. Supreme Court decision Solid Waste
Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, No. 99-1178
January 9, 2001), the wetlands shown on the above referenced drawingdo not meet the
current criteria of waters of the United States under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
These areas are identified as Wetlands A, B1 and B2 and consist of a total of 3.09
acres of wetlands within the subject 13.81 acre property. The Court ruled that isolated
intrastatewaters can no longer be considered waters of the United States, based solely
upon their use by migratory birds.
PLEASE USE THE ABOVE 18 -CHARACTER FILE NUMBER ON ALL CORRESPONDENCE WITH THIS OFFICE
This determination regarding the delineation shall be considered valid for a
period of five years from the date of this letter unless new information warrants revision
of the determination before the expiration date.
This determination was documented using the Approved Jurisdictional
Determination Form, promulgated by the Corps of Engineers in June 2007. A copy of
that document is enclosed with this letter, and will be posted on the New York District
website at:
http://Www. nan. usace.army. mii1M issions/Regulatory/J urisd ictionai Determ inations. aspx
This determination has been conducted to identify the limits of the Corps Clean
Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. If you object to this
determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at 33
CFR Part 331. Enclosed is a combined Notification of Appeal Process (NAP) and
Request For Appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal this determination you must
submit a completed RFA form to the North Atlantic Division Office at the following
address:
James W. Haggerty, Regulatory Program Manager
North Atlantic Division, U.S. Army Engineer Division
Fort Hamilton Military Community
General Lee Avenue, Building 301
Brooklyn, New York 112525700
In order for an RFA to be accepted by the Corps, the Corps must determine that
it is complete, that it meets the criteria for appeal under 33 CFR Part 331.5, and that it
has been received by the Division Office within 50 days of the date of the NAP. Should
you decide to submit an RFA form, it must be received at the above address by
DEc 2 2 2014 . It is not necessary to submit an RFA form to the Division office if
you do not object to the determination in this letter.
These determinations may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of
the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program
participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request a
certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources
Conservation Service prior to starting work.
It is strongly recommended that the development of the site be carried out in
such a manner as to avoid as much as possible the discharge of dredged or fill material
into the delineated waters of the United States. If the activities proposed for the site
involve such discharges, authorization from this office may be necessary prior to the
initiation of the proposed work. The extent of such discharge of fill will determine the
level of authorization that would be required.
