WHEREAS, the Town of Wappinger and the Village of Wappingers Falls have investigated the
feasibility of connecting the Woodhill Green Condominiums to the Village of Wappingers Falls
Water System; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger determined that the project is
an unlisted action subject to coordinated review for purposes of SEQRA review and designated
itself as lead agency and circulated as it is intent to serve as lead agency; and
WHEREAS, the involved agencies indicated their consent for the Town of Wappinger
Town Board to serve as lead agency for SEQRA review of the project; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has reviewed a Short Environmental Assessment Form
("SEAF") Part 1 for the Project and caused to be prepared Parts 2 and 3 of the SEAF;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby finds and
determines that:
a) it has considered the Project, reviewed all parts of the SEAF, reviewed the criteria
set forth in 6 NYCRR section 617.7(c), thoroughly analyzed the relevant areas of
potential environmental concern, and has duly considered all of the potential
project environmental impacts and their magnitude in connection with the
proposed action;
b) The Connection of the Woodhill Green Condominiums to the Village of
Wappingers Falls Water System will not result in any large and important
environmental impacts, and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant
impact on the environment; and

SEAF (a copy of which said form is on file in the Office of the Town Clerk of the Town of
Wappinger).

declaration determination of non -significance with respect to the project,
