The Village of Scottsville hereby adopts the following procedures to
implement the State Environmental Quality Review Act (NYCRR 617). These procedures shall apply to all actions directly
undertaken, funded or permitted by the Village of Scottsville.
A. The Building Inspector shall make initial determination
whether a proposed action is excluded, exempt, Type I, Type II or unlisted.
B. Lead agency.
(1) The Village Board shall act as the lead agency for any
action subject to SEQR which requires only local approval with exception of
subdivision and special exceptions, in which case the Planning Board will
be the lead agency.
[Amended 6-12-1979]
(2) For any action requiring other approvals, the Village
Board shall act as lead agency, after having notified other involved agencies
of its intent, unless another agency disputes within 10 days of notification.
Disputes shall be settled by agreement between agencies involved (within 30
calendar days of the mailing of the notification) or shall be referred to
the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation for decision.
C. All actions subject to SEQR shall be referred to the
Wheatland Environmental Conservation Commission which shall review the action
and make an estimate of environmental impact. The Environmental Conservation
commission shall render an advisory opinion as to whether a proposed action
is environmentally significant.
D. Records of all actions subject to SEQR
shall be maintained by the Building Inspector and shall be in the custody
of the Village Clerk. All records shall be open for public inspection during
normal business hours.
