Minoa Board backs grant applications for wastewater plant upgrades, declares intent to be SEQRA lead agency
Summary
Trustees adopted a resolution authorizing submission of WIIA and WQIP grant applications for Wastewater Treatment Plant improvements and declared the project a Type I action under SEQR, intending the Village Board to serve as lead agency for coordinated environmental review.
The Village of Minoa Board voted June 15, 2026 to authorize submission of a New York State Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (WIIA) application and a Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) application for wastewater treatment plant improvements. Trustee Eric S. Christensen moved to adopt the resolution and Trustee John H. Champagne seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The resolution names the Mayor as the village's authorized representative to submit the grant applications and execute associated documents. The minutes state that if awarded the WIIA grant the village "may be obligated to provide local matching funds totaling at least 75% of the Project Costs" (in the form of in-kind services or cash contributions) and that if awarded the WQIP grant the village "may be obligated to provide local matching funds totaling at least 25% of the award amount." The board also reviewed a Full EAF Part 1 prepared by MRB Group and determined the proposed Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvements are a Type I Action under SEQR; the board declared its intent to be the lead agency and directed the project engineer to notify involved agencies.
Board members recorded no dissent; the motions to adopt the resolution and to declare intent to be lead agency were both recorded as carried. The recorded next steps assign the MRB Group to notify involved and interested agencies in writing as part of the coordinated SEQR review.
