(a)Any sponsor of a proposed large scale project may request preliminary consultations and an informal assessment of the proposed project and site by the agency staff. A general description of the proposed project and general information concerning the project site should be provided. A sponsor may also request written recommendations from agency staff.

(b)

(1)Any project sponsor of a proposed large scale project may after preliminary consultations and informal assessment with staff as provided in subdivision (a) of this section request preapplication conceptual review by the regulatory programs committee.

(2)Requests for preapplication conceptual review shall be submitted in writing to the deputy director-regulatory programs. The request shall include identification of the project site and a statement of the goal(s) of the project, and any reasonable alternative preliminary project designs which also achieve the project goal(s). Should a project sponsor believe that no reasonable alternatives exist which achieve the project goal(s), the project sponsor may include a statement describing the reasons for such a conclusion. Upon receipt of a conceptual review request, agency staff may provide an individualized request for additional information regarding the project and any reasonable alternatives which would achieve the project goal(s). Agency staff shall also publish notice of the request for conceptual review in the Environmental Notice Bulletin.

(3)The staff shall, within 45 calendar days, review the materials once all the information agreed to has been submitted and formulate recommendations to the regulatory programs committee. The agency may solicit public comment on the project sponsor's materials and the recommendations of staff. The staff recommendations to the regulatory programs committee shall include consideration of the calculation of the overall intensity guidelines, the compatibility of the project with the land use area and community, and potential impacts of any alternatives under consideration. The staff shall also recommend its preferred alternative, shall identify any issues that should be addressed in the permit application as can be identified in the information provided, suggest guidelines for the development of the final plan, and make any other recommendations relevant to impacts and approvability of the project or alternatives.

(4)Should staff conclude, within 45 calendar days, that a project sponsor has provided insufficient information as part of a request for conceptual review specified in paragraph (2) of this subdivision, staff shall recommend to the regulatory programs committee that the committee deny the applicant's request for conceptual review. The recommendation shall specify the deficiency of the information provided regarding the project site, goal(s) of the project, and/or reasonable alternative preliminary project designs.

(5)The request for preapplication conceptual review and the staff recommendation shall be presented to the regulatory programs committee, which shall consider the matter at a regularly scheduled meeting at which members of the general public are invited to be heard. The agency shall provide reasonable prior notice to the public of such meeting and of the opportunity to be heard. After the meeting, and the expiration of an additional 30-day period for public comment, the committee shall provide its recommendations in writing.

(6)The members of the committee shall endeavor, through the formulation of consensus recommendations, to provide the project sponsor as much guidance as possible in the design of the project to conform with pertinent approval criteria.

(7)The amount and value of guidance which can be expected in preliminary consultations and conceptual review is dependent on the quality of the information provided. In this respect such information (including when requested permission to enter upon the project site) will be critical to that guidance; and, thus should be provided as soon as reasonably practical.

(c)Plans and information provided by the project sponsor shall not be binding upon the project sponsor; nor shall findings or recommendations by the agency staff for purposes of this section constitute authorization to commence the project and shall not be binding upon the agency with respect to any subsequent permit application or other approval for the proposed project.

(iv)a location map;

(v)actions proposed to be taken to minimize environmental impacts; and

(vi)any additional information requested by the agency necessary for the issuance of an emergency recovery authorization.

(2)The agency shall issue an emergency recovery authorization for an emergency project upon a determination that:

(i)the emergency project is directly related to an emergency as defined in paragraph (b)(1) of this section;

(ii)the emergency project is limited in scope to the land use and development necessary to repair, remediate or recover from the emergency; and

(iii)the emergency project will cause the least change, modification, disturbance, or damage to the environment as practicable.

The agency shall have five business days to respond to a request for an emergency recovery authorization upon receipt of sufficient information.

(3)The emergency recovery authorization shall include a description of the land use and development comprising the emergency project and may include conditions to limit the timing and duration of the emergency project and its impact upon the natural, scenic, aesthetic, ecological, wildlife, historic, recreational, or open space resources of the park.

(e)Limitations.

(1)The agency may modify or rescind an emergency certification or emergency recovery authorization if new information demonstrates that an emergency does not, or no longer, exists or that the emergency project is not, or no longer, necessary or appropriate.

(2)Any person who undertakes land use or development that otherwise would require a permit or variance from the agency that is not described in an emergency certification or emergency recovery authorization issued to such person pursuant to this section may be subject to enforcement action.

(b)The deputy director-regulatory programs shall have authority to determine whether a request to amend a permit involves a material change as defined in section 809(8)(b)(1) of the act, and to issue an amended permit for, or deny, those requests that do not involve a material change.

(1)the geographic area eligible for the permit;

(2)the time period for which the permit will be effective;

(3)the basis of jurisdiction under section 809 of the Adirondack Park Agency Act and/or article 15 or 24 of the Environmental Conservation Law;

(4)the activity or activities authorized by the permit or permits, including their probable extent and frequency;

(5)findings of fact, conclusions of law and mitigating conditions to address potential adverse environmental impacts and the statutory criteria for permit issuance; and

(6)if appropriate, the procedure for issuance of a certificate pursuant to the general permit to any person proposing to undertake the specified jurisdictional activity.

(c)The agency shall provide notice of the proposal in accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 617 describing the six elements prescribed above with respect to each such permit:

(1)in the Environmental Notice Bulletin;

(2)in not less than three newspapers of general circulation within the park and one such paper outside the park; and

(3)to the Adirondack Park local government review board.

(d)The issuance of a general permit by the agency shall constitute a type I action, for purposes of Part 617 cited above.

(e)A draft final order setting out the elements established in subdivision (b) of this section with respect to each such proposed permit, shall be provided for public review and comment not less than 30 days prior to agency board action. The board shall approve or disapprove the order after expiration of such period.

(f)As soon as practicable after the approval of a general permit pursuant to this section, notice of such approval shall be published in the same manner specified in subdivision (c) of this section, and the permit shall be recorded by the agency in the counties within which it is effective in the usual manner.

(g)In the event that use of a certificate is deemed appropriate, and upon application by any qualified person, the deputy director-regulatory programs (or designee) shall issue to that person for the location specified, a certificate setting forth the terms and conditions of the general permit approved pursuant to this section.
