Paoloni Page 2 LOCAL LAW NO. OF THE YEAR 2026 A Local Law entitled "Local LawAmending Chapter 230 of the Town Code Prohibiting Parking During Snow Emergencies." BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows: Section L• Title. This Local Law shall be known and cited as "Local Law Amending Chapter 230 of the Town Code Prohibiting Parking During Snow Emergencies." Section IL• Legislative Intent. In 2018, the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger adopted reforms to Chapter 230 of the Town Code. The Town finds and declares that the expeditious removal of snow from the public highways in the Town of Wappinger is required to keep the highways open for emergency vehicles during snow emergencies to protect the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the Town. The Town Board enacts this Local Law to prohibit parking on public streets and highways in the Town of Wappinger, outside the corporate limits of the Village of Wappingers Falls, pursuant to the authority granted by New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law §1660 (18) & (27). However, a section of Code has been identified as contradicting the Code amendments made in 2018 to only enforce that a snow emergency shall exist when the National Weather Service has issued an advisory or warning that winter weather conditions are expected to be severe, hazardous or cause significant inconvenience to the traveling public. This Local Law also granted authority to local officials to declare a snow emergency in circumstances where the National Weather Service has not issued advisories for the Town of Wappinger. Section III: Amendment of Parking Prohibited at All Times § 230-19.2 A (1) entitled "Wintertime Parking Restrictions." is hereby deleted and replaced with a new § 230-19.2 A (1) to read as follows: N Q N U) LU A. Overnight parking prohibited during wintertime. La Between November 1 of each year and March 31 of the following year, only during a declared snow emergency as defined within this section, no vehicle shall be left standing or allowed to remain parked upon any public highway of the Town of Wappinger, outside of the corporate limits of the Village of Wappingers Falls, during such months. Section VI: Separability. 0 0 The provisions of this Local Law are separable and if any provision, clause, sentence, sub- z section, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstance, such illegality, invalidity or unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall 0 a> not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, subsections, words or parts 0 0 of this Local Law or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared to 0 be the legislative intent that this Local Law would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or a� unconstitutional provision, clause, sentence, subsection, word or part had not been included therein, and if such person or circumstance to which the Local Law or part thereof is held CD inapplicable, had been specifically exempt therefrom. v w W m Section VII: Effective Date. c c This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon adoption and filing with the Secretary O of State as provided by the Municipal Home Rule Law. c Town of Wappinger 20 Middlebush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 ADOPTED RESOLUTION 2026-2 Meeting: 01/12/26 07:00 PM Department: Town Clerk Category: Local Law Intro Prepared By: Joseph P.

RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Christopher Phillips, Councilman SECONDER: Al Casella, Councilman AYES: Cavaccini, Beale, O'Dell, Phillips, Casella Updated: 1/6/2026 1:06 PM by Joseph P. Paoloni Page 1 Exhibit A Town of Wappinger Dutchess County, New York United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) Water System Improvements State Environmental Quality Review NEGATIVE DECLARATION Notice of Determination of Non -Significance Date: January 12, 2026 This notice is issued pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, Article 8 of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing regulations at Part 617 of the New York State Code of Rules and Regulations (collectively referred to as "SEQRA"). The Town of Wappinger Town Board, as the Lead Agency under SEQRA, has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a significant adverse environmental impact and a draft environmental impact statement will not be prepared. Name of Action: United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) Water Systems Improvements Applicant(s): Town of Wappinger SEQR Status: Unlisted Description of Action: Town Board Approval of Proposed Water District Improvement PrQj ect which includes the following: • Abandon Atlas well 5 and drill two new wells within the Atlas Well Field. • Use appropriately sized gravel pack and well screens to mitigate the filter fouling issue attributed to particulate passing though these components. • The additional well to be drilled within the Atlas field will allow lower pumping rates at each well in order to provide further protection against drawing sediments from the aquifer. Location: The Atlas well field is located north of the Village of Wappinger Falls on the east bank of Wappinger Creek SEQRA Procedural Background: The Town Board has identified this action as an Unlisted Action I under SEQRA based on its review of the thresholds set forth in 6 NYCRR §§ 617.4 and 617.5. The Town Board is the designated lead agency as a result of a coordinated review with other involved agencies The involved agencies for this project to which notices were sent include: • Dutchess County Department of Health (DC DOH) • New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) • New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Page 1 of 4 • New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Reasons Supporting this Determination: The SEQRA regulations provide that "[f]or all Type 1 and Unlisted actions the lead agency making a determination of significance must: (1) consider the action as defined [under SEQRA]; (2) review the EAF, the criteria contained in subdivision (c) of this section and any other supporting information to identify the relevant areas of environmental concern; (3) thoroughly analyze the identified relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment; (4) set forth its determination of significance in a written form containing a reasoned elaboration and providing reference to any supporting documentation." 6 NYCRR § 617.7(b). The SEQRA regulations further provide that "to determine whether a proposed Type 1 or Unlisted action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment, the impacts that may be reasonably expected to result from the proposed action must be compared against the criteria in this subdivision [6 NYCRR 617.7]." 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c). Each criterion is discussed in more detail below. For the reasons discussed below, the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger concludes that the project will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts. a. Agricultural Resources The project will not have any significant adverse impact on agricultural resources. Agricultural uses do not exist in the project area therefore the proposed improvements have no effect on agricultural uses. b. Aesthetics The project will not have any significant adverse impacts upon the aesthetics of the area. The site is currently used as a well field and the two new wells to be installed will have a minimal impact on the aesthetics of the area. C. Noise The project will not emit a noise louder than ambient noise levels. Therefore, the project will not have any significant adverse impact to area noise. d. Stormwater No new runoff is anticipated from the two new wells. Therefore, the project will not negatively affect stormwater quality and/or quantity and no mitigation is necessary. e. Wetlands, Streams and Other Water Bodies While there are wetlands and streams in the project area, there are no significant negative impacts to them. The location of the wells will be carefully analyzed to avoid locating the wells in the wetlands or the buffers. The project is limited to the installation of two new wells in the Atlas well field area. The project will utilize vertical drilling thereby avoiding disturbance to the stream bank and bottom. f. g. Archaeological and Historic Resources The Town has initiated consultation with the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in regard to whether the project will impair the character or quality of important archeological or historic resources. The SHPO has indicated that there are no historic properties, including archaeological and/or historic resources, affected by this undertaking. Based on the foregoing, the project will not have any significant adverse impacts on archeological or historical resources and no mitigation is necessary. h. Traffic Page 2 of 4 The proposed project will not have any significant impact on traffic, including no anticipated potential impacts to traffic due to construction related activities. The project location is adjacent to the Wappinger Creek and there are no public thoroughfares within the project area. i. Community Character The project will not create any significant adverse impacts on community character. The project includes the abandonment of one water well and the drilling of two new wells. j. Wildlife The proposed project will not have any significant adverse impacts on wildlife. No threatened or endangered species have been identified in the project area. The project is located within the existing Atlas well field. Minor disturbance to the existing habitat well field is anticipated during construction. k. Public Safety Public safety concerns are not anticipated as a result the project. The project will not entail: (1) the storage of large quantities of hazardous material or flammable or explosive materials; (2) the burial of hazardous wastes; (3) excavation or disturbance near a site used for the disposal of solid or hazardous waste; or (4) a chronic low-level discharge or emission of hazardous materials. Based on the foregoing reasons, the project will not create any significant adverse impacts to public safety. 1. Air Quality The project will not affect air quality. a. Operation of the project will not result in the emission of air pollutants with the potential to harm human health or the environment. Because there will be no significant adverse traffic impacts, no significant impact on air quality from queued vehicles is expected. b. The project will not involve incineration of refuse, will not increase the amount of land committed to industrial use, and will not increase in the density of industrial development in an existing industrial area. Therefore, there will be no significant adverse impact on air quality. Based on the foregoing, the project will not have any significant adverse impacts on air quality in the area or the region. In. Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers There are no nationally or State designated wild, scenic or recreational rivers in the project area. As a result, there will be no significant adverse impacts to these resources from the project. n. Ground Water No significant adverse impacts to groundwater quantity or quality will occur from the proposed project. The project is not generating any runoff or discharges to groundwater. The current well will be abandoned and two new wells will be installed. This will improve water quality based on lower pumping rates. This will also mitigate filter fouling. o. Loss of Soil, Vegetation and Other Natural Material The pro] ect will not result in any significant loss of soil, vegetation and other natural materials. P. Solid Waste Production The project does not produce any significant solid waste and therefore will not result in a significant increase in solid waste production. q. Flood Plains The proposed improvements will not have any significant adverse impacts on flood plains. Page 3 of 4 r. Public Health The project will not create any significant adverse public health impacts. The proposed water system improvements will have an overall benefit to public health through the increased water supply to the Town. S. Induced Growth The project proposes abandoning the current well and installing two new wells. This will not increase yield, but will ensure a more reliable water supply that can accommodate anticipated growth within the Town t. Demand on Services The proposed project will not create a demand on any other municipal services. U. Community Plans The project is the replacement of water wells and as such does not create a material conflict with the Town's Comprehensive Plan or goals as officially approved or adopted. V. Cumulative Impacts No significant adverse cumulative impacts are expected from this action. The project will not significantly induce growth in the Town or otherwise change the character of the surrounding property. As required by SEQRA, the Town Board considered reasonably related long-term, short-term, direct, indirect and cumulative impacts including other simultaneous or subsequent actions which are: (1) included in any long-range plan of which the project is a part; (2) likely to be undertaken as a result of the project or (3) dependent on the project. No such actions were identified. Based on the foregoing, the project will not create any significant adverse cumulative impacts. W. Conclusion For all of the reasons set forth above, the project, as described above, will not have any significant adverse impact on the environment and, therefore, the issuance of this negative declaration is warranted.
