6 Part 5 - Project Description Provide a general description of the proposed project and the expected project benefits. What is the pollutant of concern (POC) and what will be the pollutant load reduction estimate (STEPL) or equal? Provide detailed documentation illustrating the need to implement this project. Refer to Section V (Instructions for Completing ) of the Information for Applicants section of this document located at the end of this application for examples. Attach preliminary plan or additional sheets if applicable. The Peconic Estuary System of eastern Suffolk County, NY has been designated an Estuary of National Significance under the Clean Water Act. Fortunately, about 97% of the Peconic Estuary meets environmental standards and guidelines with respect to dissolved oxygen and nitrogen. However, due to poor tidal flushing and high nitrogen inputs, the environmentally sensitive western estuary is critically stressed (specifically, the Flanders Bay area including Meetinghouse Creek in Riverhead). Modeling studies have indicated that the water quality in the western Peconic Estuary is most heavily impacted by two point-source nutrient loadings: The Riverhead Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and Meetinghouse Creek. The Riverhead STP is currently being upgraded, but the Meetinghouse Creek source remains a concern. The past operations of duck farms in the Meetinghouse Creek watershed resulted in the discharge of wastewater to the Creek and the deposition of duck sludge in creek sediments. These duck sludge deposits continue to provide nutrient loading to the Creek and contribute to reduced dissolved oxygen levels in the Creek s surface waters. Based upon data collected by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS), Meetinghouse Creek is not meeting NY State dissolved oxygen standards. Excessive nitrogen inputs have impaired the function and health of Meetinghouse Creek and Flanders Bay. The Suffolk County Department of Health Services estimates that about 250,000 cubic yards of duck sludge deposits have accumulated in Meetinghouse Creek since the last dredging cycle in Recently, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services conducted a dredging feasibility study to examine the possibility of dredging to remove these deposits from the creek. That study recommends dredging large volumes of sediment from the creek and illuminates issues that require further examination. This proposal requests $200,000 to prepare a Water Quality Restoration Strategy for Meetinghouse Creek. The high cost and potential negative impacts of dredging need to be weighed against the predicted improvements, to determine whether dredging is the best way to improve Meetinghouse Creek s water quality and ecosystem function. This will include an assessment of the positive and negative impacts of dredging and an assessment of alternatives to dredging (such as capping, in-place remediation, and natural attenuation). This Water Quality Restoration Strategy would produce the following: Summary and evaluation of previous studies and existing data sets (groundwater, sediment flux, duck farm waste treatment, etc.) relevant to nutrient loading to Meetinghouse Creek Quantitative characterization of the existing environment in Meetinghouse Creek including the area to be dredged and the areas predicted to be affected by sediment re-suspension and its deposition. Quantification of the negative impact of the duck sludge deposits including an evaluation of sediment nitrogen flux relative to other sources of nitrogen loading to Meetinghouse Creek and in context of the nitrogen Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). Quantitative assessment of the improvement expected from removal of duck sludge in terms of the stated impairments such as low dissolved oxygen Quantitative assessment of the short-term environmental impacts of recommended dredge project -Page 4 of 21-
7 Assessment of long-term environmental impacts (positive and negative) of changes caused by dredging Cost benefit analysis to determine whether a net environmental benefit can be demonstrated Analysis of alternatives to dredging and options for material placement (including beneficial re-use) Recommendations for impact mitigation measures (e.g., silt curtains, dredging windows, technology limitations, etc.) and estimates of how they will affect cost estimates and timelines. Recommendations for monitoring program during dredging to measure and minimize impacts and post dredging to evaluate the result. This Water Quality Restoration Strategy for Meetinghouse Creek is a critical step in determining whether dredging is an appropriate solution for water quality improvement at this location. If an environmental benefit is predicted and dredging is pursued, this project will also provide the assessment of environmental impacts necessary to inform the SEQRA process and satisfy permitting requirements. Permitting agencies and SEQRA participants will be consulted throughout this process to ensure the information collected is appropriate for those uses. The technical advisory committee and management committee, in addition to the program office, of the Peconic Estuary Program will also work with the consultant hired to complete this project to ensure that PEP s priorities and the Peconic Estuary TMDL are central to this strategy. -Page 5 of 21-
