Kent Manor

DEP acting as Lead Agency for the proposed Kent Manor development project has accepted the applicant’s Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS).  The proposed Kent Manor development involves construction of a 273-unit condominium development, and various amenities, as well as a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to service the residential development (together, the “Project”) in the Town of Kent, Putnam County, New York.  The Project would be located on the north side of Nichols Street and includes the construction of a new section of Nichols Street to provide access to Route 52.

On January 9, 2006, pursuant to SEQRA, DEP issued a lead agency status declaration and a positive declaration requiring the completion of supplemental environmental review of the Project.  As required by the SEQRA implementing regulations, the SEIS evaluates the specific significant adverse impacts that were either not addressed or inadequately addressed in the prior 1987 final environmental impact statement (FEIS), and which arise from changes proposed for the project, newly discovered information, or changes in circumstances related to the project.

The FSEIS was certified as complete by DEP on April 18, 2007.  It is available for public review at the Kent Public Library, the Kent Town Clerk’s office, and DEP’s offices in Valhalla, as well as on this website.  The FSEIS may also be obtained on CD-ROM, upon written request.
