Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow
Authorizing Clean Air Clean Water Bond Act Application
Lake Fremont Water Quality Improvement Project
Whereas, on November 19,1996, the Village of Sleepy Hollow adopted a Local Waterfront
Revitali2ation Program (LWRP) and said program was subsequently approved by the New York
State Secretary of State and concurred to by the United States Office of Ocean and Coastal
Resource Management; and
Whereas, said LWRP identifies as one of its program policies the protection, preservation and,
where practical, restoration of Lake Fremont so as to maintain its viability as a locally significant
habitat; and
Whereas, over time significant portions of the lake have sufferedfromthe effects of siltation
coming as a result of unattenuated stormwater runoff; and
Whereas, the Village Engineer has prepared studies which have determined that approximately
4,000 cubic yards of material would need to be removed in order to restore this area and that the
incorporation of sediment settling tanks will further decrease the need for future dredging
operations; and
Whereas, a new round of Clean Water/ Clean Air bond act funds is available to carry out the
proposed dredging and stormwater attenuation projects as further defined in the Lake Fremont
project application and the Village Trustees now wish to move forward and submit said
application; and
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow does
hereby authorize the submission of an application for funds in accordance with the provisions
Title 9 of the Environmental Protection Act of 1993 and/or Title 3 of the Clean Water/Clean Air
Bond Act, in an amount not to exceed $ 120,000 and upon approval of said request to enter into
and execute a project agreement with the State for suchfinancialassistance to the Village of
Sleepy Hollow for the Lake Fremont water quality improvement project.
