RE: Larizza, North Ridge Street
Village of Rye Brook, Westchester County
Dear Mr. Mastromonaco:
In response to your inquiry, I conducted a follow-up site walk at the North Ridge Street site in
the Village of Rye Brook on January 15, 2019. The purpose of this site walk was to confirm that
conditions in the site wetland have not changed, and that the delineation conducted in April of
2015 is still consistent with site conditions. I found a number of flags still on site from that
delineation, and all were consistent with the current extents of the wetland. Therefore it is my
conclusion that a new delineation of the site is not warranted.
The wetland boundaries on this property are constrained by site topography and the
locations/characteristics of the existing stream inlet and outlet. Since conditions on site and in
the immediate area have not changed, it is not surprising that the wetland boundary has
remained static for the past four years. It is worth noting that the New York State DEC now
validates delineations for 10 years, in recognition of the fact that wetlands boundaries generally
do not change significantly over short periods of time unless there is considerable new
disturbance within a watershed.
I hope this answers your question about the North Ridge Street wetland.
Sincerely,
Steve Marino, PWS
