Therefore, in accordance with Article 24 of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and 6 NYCRR Part 663, no freshwater wetlands permit is required. Pursuant to ECL section 24-0703, this letter shall remain valid for a period of five years from the date it is issued (through 03/21/2031). Please note that the current jurisdictional acreage threshold of 12.4 acres will decrease to 7.4 acres on January 1, 2028. Therefore, as of January 1, 2028, additional wetland areas may become jurisdictional after the effective term of this determination. This determination pertains only to state-regulated, freshwater wetlands and regulated adjacent areas. DEC also regulates protected streams, tidal wetlands, coastal erosion hazard areas, and other important environmental resources. Work affecting those areas may also require DEC permits. More information on other DEC permit programs is available online at https://dec.ny.gov/regulatory/permits- licenses/environmental-permits. Please note that this letter does not relieve you of the responsibility of obtaining any other necessary permits or approvals from other local, state, or federal agencies. If you have questions regarding this determination, please email R5BEH@dec.ny.gov.
