Chateaugay board issues SEQRA negative declaration for Valcour decommissioning
Summary
The Town Board declared itself lead agency and adopted a SEQRA Negative Declaration finding no significant adverse environmental impacts from decommissioning the existing wind facility, concluding no Draft Environmental Impact Statement is required; resolution passed unanimously.
The Town Board on Aug. 3 voted to declare itself lead agency for SEQRA review and issued a Negative Declaration for the decommissioning of the existing Noble/Valcour Chateaugay Windpark, concluding that the proposed decommissioning will not have significant adverse environmental impacts and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is not required.
Resolution #37, moved by Councilman William Trombly and seconded by Irving Monette, records that the board reviewed EAF/EAF Part I and II materials and conducted a coordinated SEQRA review; the record shows all involved and interested agencies either consented or allowed the 30‑day period to lapse. The resolution identifies the project as a Type I action and found no need for a DEIS. The motion passed on a roll call recorded as unanimous in the minutes.
