S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 3392 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E February 1, 2013 ___________ Introduced by Sen. ADDABBO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the filling of borrow pits in Jamaica Bay THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. Due to the increase in vessel size in recent years, New York State waterways such as channels, berthing areas and harbors are being excavated in a process known as dredging to main- tain sufficient depth for safe and efficient vessel operation. Dredged material is naturally accumulated sediment, much of the dredged material does contain some contaminants at varying concen- trations. Jamaica Bay was dredged to supply soil for a number of construction projects. This process created borrow pits in the bay. These borrow pits have been identified as an attractive alternative for the disposing of dredge material. S 2. Subdivision 1 of section 15-0505 of the environmental conserva- tion law, as amended by chapter 233 of the laws of 1979, is amended and a new subdivision 3-a is added to read as follows: 1. No person, local public corporation or interstate authority shall excavate or place fill below the mean high water level in any of the navigable waters of the state, or in marshes, estuaries, tidal marshes and wetlands that are adjacent to and contiguous at any point to any of the navigable waters of the state and that are inundated at mean high water level or tide, without a permit issued pursuant to subdivision 3 of this section. For the purposes of this section, fill shall include, but shall not be limited to, earth, clay, silt, sand, gravel, stone, rock, shale, concrete (whole or fragmentary), ashes, cinders, slag, metal, DREDGED MATERIAL or any other similar material whether or not enclosed or contained by (1) crib work of wood, timber, logs, concrete EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
