Joint Applicationfor Permit Shore Road Park
Village ofLindenhurst April 2tyQ
MW ! 5FEDERAL CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM - ADDENDUM °
Project Description:
Creation of a living shoreline across the south side of the existing Shore Road Park. Key goals
include mitigating on-going erosion, habitat creation, increasing public access to the waterfront,
and increase resiliency for future storm events.
The project involves installation of a rock sill near the low-tide elevation, living shoreline of
Spartina, upper rock sill to provide erosion protection during high-tide events, beach area for
passive public usage, and ancillary connection to the existing drainage system.
As per the Federal Consistency Assessment, the following policies must be addressed:
#1, #2, #4, #7, #9, #13, #14, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #25, #35, and #44
Policy #7; Restore, revitalize, and redevelop deteriorated and underutilized waterfront areasfor
commercial, industrial, cultural, recreational, and other compatible uses.
The project would improve an underutilized portion ofthe Village owned waterfront park. The
proposed action will increase the uses which the parkprovides to the community.
Policy #2; Facilitate the siting ofwater-dependent uses andfacilities on or adjacent to coastal
waters.
A living shoreline must be located directly adjacent to a coastal waterway. The beach access is
also integrally connected to a coastal location.
Policy #4: Strengthen the economic base of smaller harbor areas by encouraging the
development and enhancement ofthose traditional uses and activities which have provided such
areas with their unique maritime identity.
The project with its enhanced access to the water is consistent with the adjacent park usage. The
living shoreline components serve to provide resiliency and erosion protection to protect the park
more active recreation features and shoreline from further decline. The action will not detract
from views, but will instead provide improved access ofviews looking south.
Joint Applicationfor Permit Shore Road Park
Village ofLindenhwst ___ April 2019
Policy #7; Significant coastalfish and wildlife habitats will be protected, preserved and where
practical, restored do as to maintain their viability as habitats.
The south shoreline of Shore Road Park has eroded considerably, partly due to the hardening of
adjacent properties on either side. The park experienced considerably more erosion during
Superstorm Sandy, and without any restoration efforts additional land is expected to erode.
Although the project includes filling and excavation activities, they are both in support of the
creation of a living shoreline to ensure the proper elevation of Spartina is established, and that it
is protected by the lower rock sill. The establishment of a living shoreline will provide an
opportunity for habitat creation where none exist today within the intertidal zone.
Policy #P; Expand recreational use offish and wildlife resources in coastal areas by increasing
access to existing resources, supplementing existing stocks, and developing new resources.
The project will support non-consumptive uses such as wildlife photography, bird watching, and
nature study, by way of encouraging and increasing access to the waterfront for passive
recreation.
Policy #73: The construction or reconstruction of erosion protection structures shall be
undertaken only if they have a reasonable probability of controlling erosion for at least thirty
years as demonstrated in design and construction standards and/or assured maintenance or
replacementprograms.
At its core, the projects fundamental component is a living shoreline to mitigate on-going
eroding of the shoreline. Upon the preparation of our preliminary documents and technical
design report, it was determined that a rock sill or similar structure would greatly increase the
viability and longevity of the planted mitigation effort. The plants themselves will provide
stability in the form of erosion control; however marine environments are notoriously hostile.
Therefore, the per design guidelines and with the input of the New York Department of
Conservation, the living shoreline is reinforced with a rock sill designed to dissipate wave energy
thereby increasing the longevity of the living shoreline.
Policy #14: Activities and development, including the construction or reconstruction oferosion
protection structures, shall be undertaken so that there will be no measurable increase in
erosion orflooding at the sire ofsuch activities or development, or at other locations.
The living shoreline project with its supplementing rock sill is a form of erosion control,
however due to the porosity of the rock sill and the breaks in between each length (no more than
100'), will not form an impenetrable barrier. There are existing drainage structures within the
project area, however the proposed improvements will permit the flow of stormwater discharges.
Joint Applicationfor Permit Shore Road} p°*Village ofLindenhurst April 2019
The use of proposed check-valves will reduce the frequency of daily tide surge back through the
existing drainage system which the park currently experiences.
Policy #7(5: Publicfunds shall only be usedfor erosion protective structures where necessary to
protect human life, and new development which requires a location within or adjacent to an
erosion hazard area to be able to function, or existing development; and only where the public
benefits outweigh the long term monetary and other costs including the potential for increasing
erosion and adverse effects on naturalprotectivefeatures.
Public funds will be utilized for the design and construction of the proposed improvements;
however, the project serves only to benefit the publicly owned park. As noted in other policy
responses, portions of the park have already been lost to coastal erosion, thereby decreasing the
value of the park to the public. Rather than attempt to reclaim land already lost, the project seeks
to mitigate further erosion though the installation of the living shoreline and associated rock sill.
Policy #77: Non-structural measures to minimize damage to natural resources and property
fromflooding and erosion shall be used whenever possible.
The core project consists of a living shoreline. Traditional structures such as bulkheads etc. were
not earnestly considered due to the natural inherent conflict with the intended goals of the
project. The proposal however does contain a rock sill component, but only in the capacity to
provide energy dissipation based upon the guidelines followed. Furthermore, s expressed in other
segments of this document, the rock sill is not continuous, thereby avoiding the impoundment of
stormwater.
Policy #18: To safeguard the vital economic, social and environmental interests ofthe State and
of its citizens, proposed major actions in the coastal area must give full consideration to those
interests, and to the safeguards which the State has established to protect valuable coastal
resource areas.
By stabilizing an eroding shoreline utilizing a technique which will address habitat creation,
water quality, access to the waterfront and erosion, the goals of the policy are achieved.
Although a portion of the rock sill is proposed below the established low water line, its
placement is integral to the function it will serve to dissipate wave energy while not impounding
water.
Policy #7P: Protect, maintain, and increase the level and types ofaccess to public water related
recreation resources andfacilities.
Second only to the living shoreline component is the creation of a defined beach access area. The
proposed improvements will not hinder the possible expansion of accessibility in the future
Joint Applicationfor Permit shore Road Park
Village ofLindenhursl Apr\\ 2019
should the Village of Lindenhurst seek to convert the adjacent field into an overlook or other
possible features. Access to the beach area will be primarily internal in an effort to utilize the
existing surface parking and other infrastructure already within the park.
Policy #20: Access to the publicly-owner foreshore and to lands immediately adjacent to the
foreshore or the water's edge that are publicly-owned shall be provided and it shall be provided
in a manner compatible with adjoining uses.
The park is currently accessible to the public, however access to the waterfront is somewhat
limited due to the undeveloped and eroded nature of the actual shoreline. Second only to the
living shoreline component is the creation of a defined beach area. The beach area will provide a
accessibility intended for passive recreation uses directly adjacent to the Great South Bay.
Existing infrastructure will be utilized at the north end of the park, such as parking, to minimize
unnecessary duplication and intensification of pavement surfaces. The project as proposed will
increase the publics ability to access and enjoy passive recreational opportunities at the existing
park.
Policy #21: Water dependent and water enhanced recreation will be encourage andfacilitated
and will be givenpriority over non-water-related uses along the coast.
The project itself is dependent on direct adjacency to the water and is appropriately sited as such.
The living shoreline requires a particular elevation and intertidal proximity. The publicly
accessible beach component similarly requires a direct connection to the water and is therefore
located in a manner which provides access to the views and water of the Great south Bay.
Policy if22: Development when located adjacent to the shore will provide for water-related
recreation whenever such use is compatible with reasonably anticipated demand for such
activities and is compatible with the primarypurpose ofthe development.
The proposed improvements are water related in the context that it will provide a living shoreline
and improve the publics access to the waterfront. The proposed improvements are consistent
with the existing uses as a park (passive and active recreational opportunities) and adjoining
residential uses. It is anticipated that the passive recreational opportunities created as part of the
subject application are well in keeping with the park's usage and will create far less impacts
associated with noise etc. compared to the existing active recreation utilized.
Joint Application for Permit Shore Road Park
Village ofLindenhurst April 2019
Policy #25: Protect, restore or enhance natural and man-made resources which are not
identified as being ofstatewide significance, but which contribute to the overall scenic quality of
the coastal area.
The project serves to protect, restore, and enhance the natural shoreline of the park. With that,
the proposed expansion of the intertidal zone and associated landscape improvements will
improve views looking north from boaters. The project is far to distant to be viewed from Cedar
Beach Park across the Great South Bay, however visitors and residences adjoining the park will
benefit from the visual character improvements.
Policy #55: Dredging and filling in coastal waters and disposal of dredged material will be
undertaken in a manner that meets existing State dredging permit requirements, and protects
significant fish and wildlife habitats, scenic resources, natural protective features, important
agricultural lands, and wetlands.
The rock sill component of the project is the only feature which is considered fill material. The
horizontal and vertical location of the rock sill is set precisely based upon providing protection of
the living shoreline component. Although the living shoreline is a suitable and warranted means
of mitigating continued erosion, the plantings themselves can be vulnerable to wave energy
during various levels of storm events. It is therefore consistent with published guidelines to
supplement living shorelines with a rock sill. However as noted above, the precise location of the
rock sill requires placement within the waterway in order to provide the effectiveness warranted.
It should be noted that the area where the lower rock sill will be placed contains fragments of
concrete and asphalt, both of which will be removed as part of the proposed improvements. The
rock sill will be composed of actual stone, providing a natural material consistent with published
guidelines and policies.
Policy 444: Preserve and protect tidal and freshwater wetlands and preserve the benefits
derivedfrom these areas.
The projects core focus is to protect an eroding shoreline utilizing the techniques associated with
living shorelines. The vegetation and soil located along the parks southern edge has been eroded
and has therefore associated habitat has been lost. The proposed project seeks to preserve,
protect, and restore the sensitive wetlands though the creation of a living shoreline, protective
rock sill, and plantings landward of the mean high tide. Anticipated benefits of the improvements
include improved water quality, habitat creation, erosion control, aesthetic improvements, and
improved passive recreation accessibility.

Army Permit, or the Joint Application for Permit used in the State ofNew York.
Please provide complete answers to all questions below which are relevant to
your project Any answers may be continued on separate sheet(s) ofpaper to be
attached to this form.
PRIVACYACT STATEMENT
The purpose of this form is to provide the Corps of Engineers with basic
information regarding yourproject. This information will be used to facilitate
evaluation ofyourpermit application and for public dissemination as required by
regulation. Failure to provide complete information may result in your application
being declared incomplete for processing, thereby delaying processing ofyour
application.
GENERAL-APPLICABLE TO ALL PROJECTS
1. Explain the need for, and purpose of, the proposed work.
Creation of a living shore line across the south side of the existing park. Key goals
include mitigating on-going erosion, habitat creation, increasing public access to the
water front, and increase resiliency for future storm events.
2. Provide the names and addresses ofproperty owners adjacent to your work
site (if not shown on the application form or project drawings).
The project is located along the southern end of the park adjacent to the Great South
Bay.
3. Photographs of the project site should be submitted. For projects in tidal areas,
photographs of the waterway vicinity should be taken at low tide. Using a
separate copy ofyour plan view, indicate the location and direction of each
photograph as well as the date and time at which the photograph was taken.

4. Provide a copy of any environmental impact statement or any other
environmental report which was prepared for your project.
The Governor's Office of Stormwater Recovery (GOSR) is coordinating the
Environmental Assessment.
5. Provide a thorough discussion of alternatives to your proposal. This
discussion should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the "no action"
alternative and alternative(s) resulting in less disturbance to waters of the United
States. For filling projects in waters of the United States, including wetlands, your
alternatives discussion should demonstrate that there are no practicable
alternatives to your proposed filling and that your project meets with current
mitigation policy (i.e. avoidance, minimization and compensation).
Alternative 1: Do Nothing
If no action is taken to mitigate the on-going erosion, the shoreline will remain littered
with existing fragments of concrete, soil particles will continue to erode into the
waterway, compromising water quality and reducing the recreational value of the
southern field at the park.
No action would provide various pros & cons, such as:
Pros include -
• No upfront costs related to construction
• No construction impacts (noise, truck traffic, disruption in tidal wetlands)
• Preserve the project area for future opportunities of potentially larger scale or
alternate waterfront improvements
Cons include -
• Utilized recreational fields will be eroded and lost
• The general benefits of the living shoreline would not be realized (habitat
creation, resiliency, water quality improvement, erosion control, etc.
• Waterfront access to the public in the form a defined beach area would be
denied to the general public
Alternative 2: Living Shoreline without Rock Sill
The design team originally considered the option of installing the living shoreline without
any stone rock sill protection. Our office conducted interviews with Village officials
regarding their experience and observations during periodic storm events as well as
performing wave height calculations at various wind speeds generated during storm
events.
-2-
Joint Applicationfor Permit Shore Road
Village ofLindenhurst April 2019
Not installing the rock sill would provide various pros & cons, such as:
Pros include -
• Save considerable construction costs
• Reduce the schedule of construction (approximately 1-2 months)
• Reduce impact of construction (noise, truck traffic, disruption in tidal
wetlands)
Cons include -
• Newly planted vegetation is vulnerable to existing currents and wave action
• Shoreline landward of the living shoreline will continue to erode, albeit at a
slightly slower rate from wave action and existing movement of water,
particularly considering the number of adjacent properties already hardened
with bulkheads. It should be noted that the currents generally quicken more
along properties with bulkheads due to the limited friction/smooth texture,
thereby accelerating erosion along non bulkheaded or hardened properties.
• The Village would have to allocate budget for future maintenance including
replanting on account of continued erosion
Alternative 3: Living Shoreline with Stone Breakwater in Open Water
This alternate option was considered where the living shoreline would be protected by a
single larger stone breakwater placed in open water. The option was considered
partially because of the simplicity of installing a single structure and partially since the
structure would dissipate wave action further away from the vegetated shoreline.
Installing a single larger breakwater in open water would provide various pros & cons,
such as:
Pros include -
• The structure would dissipate wave action further away from the vegetated
shoreline, thereby reducing energy closer to shore
• A single structure would require less maintenance
• With the structure further away from shore, it would allow a more natural
interaction of water to the planted vegetation
Cons include -
• Increase the construction budget, as this would require barge mounted
equipment and transfer of materials
• The viability of permitting would have a greater degree of uncertainty, and
likely take longer to pursue, as it would affect navigability of recreational
boats and personal watercraft
-3-
Joint Applicationfor Permit Shore Road
Village ofLindenhurst _____ April 2019
• A single breakwater may still leave the shoreline vulnerable to erosion during
higher wave action events as compared to the option recommended which
provides a second tier at a higher elevation.
Alternate 4: Living Shoreline with a Lower Rock Sill Located Between MHW& MLWand
a second located upland ofMHW
Based upon our comprehensive evaluation of the existing conditions and
considerations, Alternate 4 studied the addition of rock sills directly adjacent to the
shoreline. The approach relies on two (2) rock sills placed nearby the low and high tide
lines to provide protection during wave action at either tide cycle. A key consideration to
this alternate would be provisions or breaks within the lower rock sill to facilitate water
and sand movements throughout the tide cycles to avoid impoundment of water.
Installing two rock sills along the shore would provide various pros & cons, such as:
Pros include -
• Dissipate wave energy during both low & high tide cycles
• Provide resiliency from waves generated during storm events encountered at
a higher elevation
• Boulders will slow water movement as opposed to smooth bulkhead
hardening
Cons include -
• Additional cost relative to alternates 1 & 2
• Longer construction duration as a result of boulder placement
• Structure may limit physical access to the water
DREDGING PROJECTS
NOT APPLICABLE
Answer the following if your project involves dredging.
1. Indicate the estimated volume of material to be dredged and the depth (below
mean low water) to which dredging would occur. Would there be overdepth
dredging?
2. You can apply fora ten-year permit for maintenance dredging. If you wish to
apply for a ten-year permit, please provide the number of additional dredging
events during the ten-year life of the permit and the amount ofmaterial to be
removed during future events.
3. Indicate on your drawings the dewatering area (if applicable) and disposal site
for the dredged material (except landfill sites). Submit a sufficient number of
-4-

Village ofLindenhurst April 2019
photographs of the dewatering and disposal sites as applicable so as to provide a
clear indication of existing conditions. For ten-year maintenance dredging
permits, indicate the dewatering/disposal sites for future dredging events, if
known.
4. Describe the method of dredging (i.e. clamshell, dragline, etc.) and the
expected duration of dredging.
5. Indicate the physical nature of the material to be dredged (i.e. sandt silt, clay,
etc.) and provide estimated percentages of the various constituents if available.
For beach nourishment projects, grain size analysis data is required.
6. Describe the method of dredged material containment (i.e. hay bales,
embankment, bulkhead, etc.) and whether return flow from the
dewatering/disposal site would reenter any waterway. Also indicate if there would
be any barge overflow.
MOORING FACILITIES
NOT APPLICABLE
Answer the following if your project includes the construction or rehabilitation of
recreational mooring facilities.
1. It is generally recommended that any fixed piers and walk ramps be limited to
four feet in width, and that floats be limited to eight feet in width and rest at least
two feet above the waterway bottom at mean low water. Terminal floats at private,
noncommercial facilities should be limited to 20 feet in length. If you do not
believe your proposal can meet with these recommendations, please provide the
reason(s).
2. Using yourplan view, show to scale the location(s), positions) and size(s)
(including length, beam and draft) of vessel(s) to be moored at the proposed
facility, including those of transient vessel(s) if known.
3. For commercial mooring sites such as marinas, indicate the capacity of the
facility and indicate on the plan view the location(s) of any proposed fueling
and/or sewage pumpout facilities. Ifpumpout facilities are not planned, please
discuss the rationale below and indicate the distance to the nearest available
pumpout station.
4. Indicate on your plan view the distance to adjacent marine structures, if any are
proximate and show the locations and dimensions ofsuch structures.

Village ofLindenhurst April 2019
5. Discuss the need for wave protection at the proposed facility. Piease be
advised that if a permit is issued, you would be required to recognize that the
mooring facility may be subject to wave action from wakes ofpassing vessels,
whose operations would not be required to be modified, issuance of a permit
would not relieve you of ensuring the integrity of the authorized structure(s) and
the United States would not be held responsible for damages to the structure(s)
and vessel(s) moored thereto from wakes from passing vessels.
BULKHEADING/BANK STABILIZATION/FILLING ACTIVITIES
Answer the following if your project includes construction of bulkheading (also
retaining walls and seawalls) with backfill, filling of waters/wetlands, or any other
bank stabilization fills such as riprap, revetments, gabions, etc.
1. Indicate the total volume of fill (including backfill behind a structure such as a
bulkhead) as well as the volume of fill to be placed into waters of the United
States. The amount of fill in waters of the United States can be determined by
calculating the amount of fill to be placed below the plane ofspring high tide in
tidal areas and below ordinary high water in non-tidal areas.
Approximately 75 cubic yards of stone to construct the lower rock sill.
2. Indicate the source(s) and type(s) of fill material.
Final sourcing of the rock is subject to contractor's determination; however, it is
expected to be sources from Upstate New York or Eastern Pennsylvania.
Type of rock shall consist of natural stone, boulders ranging in size between 2'0 and 4'0.
3. Indicate the method of fill placement (i.e. by hand, bulldozer, crane, etc.).
Would any temporary fills be required in waterways or wetlands to provide
access for construction equipment? If so, please indicate the area ofsuch waters
and/or wetlands to be filled and show on the plan and sectional views. The
foregoing requests basic information on the most common types of projects
requiring Department of the Army permits. It is intended to obviate or reduce the
need for requesting additional information; however, additional information may
be requested above and beyond what is requested in this form. Please feel free
to add any additional information regarding yourproject which you believe may
facilitate our review.
It is anticipated that all work can and will be accomplished landward. Anticipated
machinery includes an excavator to place the boulders and a bobcat or similar
equipment to support the construction.
