1. Notice of Scoping for Chestnut Ridge Storage Tank

Municipality where proposed project might be located: Bethel

Address of Possible Project Location: Between 27 Long Meadow Lane and 22 Briar Cliff Manor

Project DescriptionThe Town of Bethel proposes to construct a new 500,000 gallon concrete water storage tank. The proposed tank will be 65-feet in diameter with an approximate height of 21-feet above grade. An electrical and instrumentation enclosure will also be located near the tank. This project supports Bethel's long term plan to replace its existing surface water supplies and treatment plants with ground water supplies by increasing the Town's overall storage capacity as indicated in Town's Water Supply Plan.  The Chestnut Ridge Storage Tank will provide the needed additional emergency and fire protection storage, redundancy and backup to the Eureka Lake Water Storage Tank.
