In response to your recent request, we have reviewed the New York Natural Heritage
Program database with respect to the above project.
Enclosed is a report of rare or state-listed animals and plants, and significant natural
communities that our database indicates occur in the vicinity of the project site.
For most sites, comprehensive field surveys have not been conducted; the enclosed
report only includes records from our database. We cannot provide a definitive statement as
to the presence or absence of all rare or state-listed species or significant natural
communities. Depending on the nature of the project and the conditions at the project site,
further information from on-site surveys or other sources may be required to fully assess
impacts on biological resources.
The presence of the plants and animals identified in the enclosed report may result in
this project requiring additional review or permit conditions. For further guidance, and for
information regarding other permits that may be required under state law for regulated areas
or activities (e.g., regulated wetlands), please contact the NYS DEC Region 5 Office, Division
of Environmental Permits, at dep.r5@dec.ny.gov.
