Re: Land Disturbance Permit for Nos. 543 & 545 Cresent Avenue
City of Saratoga Springs, NY
Dear Ms. Barden,
This letter is to acknowledge receipt of the site findings and follow up visit report prepared by
the City Engineer's Office dated August 10, 2026. Our office is in the process of preparing a
SWPPP plan and site restoration plan in response to tree cutting activity on the above
referenced properties for review and approval by the involved City Departments. In the interim,
additional silt fences will be installed at both the top and toe slopes to protect soil erosion from
entering Lake Lonely. Performance of this work has been permitted by Mr. Julian Fonseca, Code
Enforcement Officer, as not being in violation of the preset Stop Work Order for the properties.
In March 2026, a wetland delineation was performed on the two properties and field reviewed
by Ms. Renee Perrotte, a wetland biologist at NYDEC Region 5 office. The wetlands, which are
principally located along the shoreline of Lake Lonely, were determined to be non -jurisdictional
wetlands. A letter of this documentation is enclosed for your information. No further
involvement of DEC is anticipated for these two properties.
We thank the planning board for their project concerns and we are proceeding to prepare the
required work exhibits relative to slope gradients and restoration. Thank you for your
assistance.
Very truly yours,
Lynn T. Sipperly

Dear Nick Falco,
KATHY HOCiitlL
Governor
AMANDA LEFTON
Commissioner
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has determined that there
are currently no DEC regulated freshwater wetlands or regulated adjacent areas within the
boundaries of the parcel identified in your request.
Please note that wetlands or wetland adjacent areas within the parcel boundaries that are not
currently jurisdictional may become jurisdictional in the future consistent with ECL Article 24.
Pursuant to ECL section 24-0703, this determination shall be a complete defense to the
enforcement of ECL Article 24 as to this parcel for a period of five years (through 10/21/2030).
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.n.cov/requlatory/permit•
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 renee.perr-otle(cdec.ny.gov.
