Re: Article 24 Parcel Jurisdictional Determination
Positive Jurisdiction – Freshwater Wetlands
Pinehurst Drive; Tax Parcel ID: 165.-2-36.1
Saratoga Springs (C), Saratoga County
Dear Tom Ward:
Based on the parcel identified in your request, the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) has determined that the parcel contains freshwater
wetlands and/or freshwater wetlands adjacent areas (AA) regulated by DEC pursuant to
Article 24 of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL). Specifically, the wetlands are
within a census designated urban area.
The table below identifies the orientation of jurisdictional wetlands and adjacent areas
within the parcels, the wetland class, and the classification characteristic(s).
Tax ID #: Wetland / AA Location Classification
165.-2-36.1 Wetlands are in the northern portion of the
parcel.
Class II: wetlands are
within an urban area
This determination shall remain valid for five years from the date of this letter (through
3/3/2031)
A freshwater wetlands permit from DEC is required for any regulated activity proposed
to be undertaken within regulated wetlands or their regulated adjacent areas.
A freshwater wetlands delineation is necessary to determine the precise boundary of
jurisdictional wetlands and their adjacent areas on the subject parcel.

wetlands-program/freshwater-wetland-jurisdictional-determination to identify and contact
the appropriate DEC Regional Office prior to undertaking any regulated activities on the
referenced parcel to determine whether a permit is required. In addition, you can visit
DEC’s website to learn more about the types of jurisdictional determinations and
wetland delineations:

program/freshwater-wetland-jurisdictional-determination
Pursuant to ECL section 24-0301(4), there is a rebuttable presumption that areas
meeting the definition of Freshwater Wetland are regulated and subject to permit
requirements. If you believe this jurisdictional determination has been made in error, you
may request an initial consultation with DEC by scheduling a meeting on the parcel or
property with the appropriate regional office to review the jurisdictional determination,
pursuant to 6 NYCRR 664.9.
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.
If you have questions regarding this determination, please email
FWWjurisdiction@dec.ny.gov .
Sincerely,
James White
