SUBJECT: Permit Application Number NAN-2007-5
by Department of Veterans Affairs
To Whom It May Concern:
The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has
received a request for Department of the Army authorization for
the fOllowing activity:
APPLICANT:
Department of Veterans Affairs
Medical Center, Castle Point Campus
Montrose Campus, HUdson Valley Health Care System
Montrose, New York 10548-0100
ACTIVITY:
Install a water intake pipeline
WATERWAY:
Hudson River
LOCATION:
Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York
The proposed work would involve the installation of an
apprOXimately 1,450 foot long a-inch diameter HDPE water intake
pipeline, resting on the Hudson River bed to be ancbored by
concrete blocks. A passive screened intake is proposed due to its
Simplicity and self-cleaning, relying on ambient current and flow
to minimize debris build Up. Additional Cleaning capability to
the passive screen Would be augmented by the added installation of
air back-wash system. The intake screen is designed for a low
velocity of apprOXimately 0.5 feet per second to preVent aquatic
life from passing through and avoid impingement or entrainment.
A new Pumphouse bUilding of apprOXimately 62 feet long by 35
feet wide Would be built on the applicant's upland property,
thereby placing it out of Department of the Army jurisdiction.
The existing upland Pumphouse would be demolished after
construction of the new Pumphouse.
The new water intake pipeline WOuld replace the existing
intake pipeline that is located apprOXimately 100 feet to the
south and extends apprOXimately 350 feet from the mean high water
line that will be abandoned. A water intake Pipeline would be
installed on top of the inner portion of the abandoned intake
Pipeline to provide water for a new dry hYdrant. The dry hYdrant
will be located on upland property out of Department of the Army
jurisdiction.
. 4
The purpose of this project is to install a water intake
structure for the onsite upland VA facility and to construct a
water intake pipeline for a dry hydrant.
As this is minor in nature, authorization may be by Letter
of Permission. This is in accordance with current Federal
Regulations governing work in navigable waters of the united
States. To accomplish the coordination required, prior to the
issuance of a Letter of Permission, your review of the enclosed
drawings is requested.
Pursuant to Section 307 (c) of the Coastal Zone Management
Act of 1972 as amended (16 U.S.C. 1465 (c) (3) (A)), the applicant
has certified that the activity complies with and will be
conducted in a manner that is consistent with the approved state
