In NYSDEC’s Blanket Water Quality Certification for the 2017 Recertification of the Nationwide Permits, NYSDEC states that work within waterbodies supporting S-1 or S-2 mollusks (this has been clarified to be fresh water mussels and clams) will not qualify for a blanket Water Quality Certification and therefore must require and Individual -Water Quality Certification. This shapefile was created so that NYSDOT could identify which waterbodies would not qualify for the blanket Water Quality Certification under this condition. Engineering Bulletin (EB) 18-010 issued The Environmental Manual (TEM) 4.4.9.3 Appendix H, which includes protocols and procedures related to S-1 and S-2 mussels and how that relates to both the State and Federal endangered and threatened species processes. |
