Denning postpones Sundown Stream project work amid long‑eared bat concern
Summary
Officials said the Denning Road portion of the Sundown Stream Project is being postponed until next year because of a long‑eared bat issue; the pipe may still be installed now and YMCA property stockpiling has been agreed for materials staging.
Highway Superintendent Leonard Johnson told the board that his meeting with Brendan Wagner from the Rondout Neversink Stream Program led to postponing the Denning Road portion of the Sundown Stream Project until next year due to concerns involving the long‑eared bat. Johnson said the pipe for the project can be put in now but major stream work is delayed.
Supervisor David Brooks asked whether Steve Poley of the Frost Valley YMCA had been contacted about stockpiling materials on YMCA property for the project; Johnson said Poley agreed. The board also noted the Sundown Stream Project contract had been signed and returned and is awaiting fully executed signatures.
