The Poestenkill Town Board recognizes that the New York State
Environmental Quality Review provisions are constantly changing and
being updated. The Town of Poestenkill Environmental Quality Review
Act has not kept up with these changes. Furthermore, reasons for the
Town of Poestenkill Environmental Quality Review Act being separate
and distinct from the state provisions are no longer valid, and the
adoption of the state provisions in full will best accomplish the
Town Board's wishes to provide for environmental quality review
of actions which may have a significant effect on the environment.
All of the provisions of the New York State Environmental Quality
Review Act as are set out in Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation
Law and in Part 617 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations
are adopted in their entirety.
