AGREEMENT MACEDON WWTP AND COLLECTION SYSTEM SEQRA NEGATIVE DECLARATION
WHEREAS, the Town of Macedon, the Village of Macedon, and the
Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority have agreed to enter into an
intermunicipal agreement which will enable the WCSWA to operate the Town and
Village of Macedon sewage treatment facility and collection systems,
AND WHEREAS, the proposed action is an administrative action, and

BE IT RESOLVED,

1.

2.
The proposed

3.
The proposed

4.
Using the
information available and comparing it with the thresholds set forth in section
6 NYCRR 617.4, the action is found to have a preliminary classification of
Unlisted.
5.
As an Unlisted

the significance of the proposed action.
6.
The proposed
action is not located in a coastal area.
7.
The proposed
action is not located in an agricultural district.
8.
As this SEQRA
review covers the Town’s administrative acceptance of the IMA agreement only, a
non-coordinated Review for Unlisted actions involving a single agency has been
performed.
9.
The Macedon Town
Board is the lead agent.
10. The Macedon Town Board hereby determines that the
proposed action is in general conformance with the adopted town-wide Master
Plan, and will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts, a
Negative Declaration is declared, and the Town Board hereby directs the Town
Clerk to immediately file the determination in accordance with section 6 NYCRR
617.12.
11. In reaching this finding, the Town Board has:
(a) Considered
the action as defined in sections 6 NYCRR 617.2 (b) and 617.3 (g),
(b) Reviewed the EAF, the criteria contained in
subdivision 6 NYCRR 617.7 (c) and any other supporting information to identify
the relevant areas of environmental concern,
(c) Thoroughly analyzed the identified relevant
areas of environmental concern to determine if the action may have a
significant adverse impact on the environment; and,
(d) Set forth its determination of significance in
this resolution, in addition to the corresponding long environmental assessment
form.
12. In determining significance, the Town Board has
determined whether the proposed Unlisted Action may have a significant adverse
impact on the environment, the impacts that may be reasonably expected to
result from the proposed action compared against the criteria in 6 NYCRR
617. The criteria considered indicators
of significant adverse impacts on the environment were:
(a) A
substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water
quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; a substantial increase in solid
waste production; a substantial increase in potential for erosion, flooding,
leaching or drainage problems;
(b) The removal
or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantial
interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species; impacts on a significant wildlife habitat area; substantial adverse
impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the
habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse impacts to the natural
resources;
(c) The
impairment of the environmental characteristics of a critical environmental
area as designated pursuant to section 617.14 (g);
(d) The creation
of a material conflict with a community’s current plans or goals as officially
approved or adopted;
(e) The
impairment of the character or quality of important historical, archeological,
architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood
character;
(f) A major change in the use of either the
quantity or type of energy;
(g) The creation of a hazard to human health;
(h) A
substantial change in the use or intensity of use, of land including
agricultural, open space or recreational resources or in its capacity to
support existing uses;
(i) The
encouraging or attracting of a large number of people to a place or places for
more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such
place absent the action;
(j) The
creation of material demand for other actions that would result in one or the
above consequences;
(k) Changes in
two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant
impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial
adverse impact on the environment; or
(l) Two or more
related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has
or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered
cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria of this subdivision.
13. For the purposes of determining whether an action may
cause one of the consequences listed above, the Town Board considered
reasonably related long-term, short-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative
impacts, including other simultaneous or subsequent actions, which were;
(a) Included in any long range plan of which the action
under consideration is a part;
(b) Likely to be undertaken as a result thereof, or
(c) Dependent thereon.
14. In addition, the Town Board considered the
significance of a likely consequence (i.e., whether it is material,
substantial, large or important) should be assessed in connection with:
(a) Its setting (e.g., urban or rural);
(b) Its probability of occurrence;
(c) Its duration;
(d) Its irreversibility;
(e) Its geographic scope;
(f)
Its magnitude;
and
(g) The number of people affected.
