Planning Board reviews National Grid plan to extend gas service to Micron campus; county wetlands flagged
Summary
National Grid described a two-site gas infrastructure project including a Micron metering station and a 16" main; Onondaga County comments flagged adjacent wetlands and required DEC permits, and the board asked for more detailed landscaping and utility-depth information before adjourning to August 12.
Nolan Kokkoris represented National Grid on a project to extend natural gas service with work at two locations: a 0.61-acre regulator station on State Route 31 and a 99.05-acre parcel within the Micron campus where a Micron Gas Metering Station (GLM) and associated concrete pads, fenced gravel areas and a 16-inch gas main are proposed along the Caughdenoy Road frontage.
The presentation noted the project was among actions covered in a final coordinated Environmental Impact Statement prepared for Micron and its partners, including the Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency and the U.S. Department of Commerce. County review identified existing wetlands adjacent to and on the site and notified the applicant that NYS DEC permits will be required where work affects wetlands; the county otherwise found no county-wide adverse impacts and deferred action to the local board. Board members asked for a more detailed planting schedule (suggesting 8-foot specimen trees rather than dwarf evergreens where practical) and for confirmation of pipeline burial depth; C&S Engineer Caitlin Choberka confirmed the firm has submitted SWPPP review comments. The board adjourned the item to August 12, 2026 for follow-up.
