Lewisboro authorizes Army Corps self‑certification tied to $2.65M for Lake Kushaqua septic project
Summary
The town board authorized the supervisor to sign a US Army Corps non‑federal sponsor self‑certification for the Lake Kushaqua Septic District, saying the Army Corps has $2.65 million available under the Water Resources Development Act to combine with DEP funding for the project.
The Lewisboro Town Board on June 8 authorized the supervisor to sign a US Army Corps of Engineers non‑federal sponsor self‑certification for the Lake Kushaqua Septic District, a procedural step needed to accept federal funding that town officials said totals $2.65 million.
Discussing the item, board members said the funding is part of a Water Resources Development Act program and that New York State DEC had connected town staff with Army Corps representatives. A town official described the Army Corps contribution as additional to DEP funding and said the town would be responsible for funding differences, which the board expects to cover through other grants.
“It's called the Water Resource Development Act which... New York State DEC put us in touch with the folks at US Army Corps and they said, ‘Yeah, we have money for this project,’” a board speaker said. The board voted to authorize the supervisor to execute the self‑certification.
Next steps: board authorization allows the supervisor to sign required documentation so the Army Corps funds can be processed; details of matching funds and schedules were not specified at the meeting.
