Club says DEC and Army Corps approved culvert permit but APA requested redesign

Sep 29, 2026

Chair reported DEC and Army Corps permits were granted for a railroad-bed culvert replacement but the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) has not approved the northern crossing and asked for a redesign citing larger wetlands mapping.

The full story

Members described a planned project to replace a culvert on the railroad bed and to build a bridge-like structure where required. Chair said DEC and the Army Corps have granted permits, but the APA has not signed off on the northern crossing and requested a redesign, noting wetlands were mapped larger than previously shown. The group estimated the final crossing would be about 100 feet long and include multiple cribbing sections to meet Army Corps' requirements.
