PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of State F-2007-0568 Date of Issuance — October 10, 2007

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The applicant has certified that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's consistency certification and accompanying public information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at 41 State Street in Albany, New York.

In F-2007-0568, the Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. One Civic Center Plaza, Suite 200, Poughkeepsie, NY, 12601, proposes the Long Dock Beacon Mixed Use Development. The project site is located southwest of the Metro-North Railroad Beacon Station, along the west side of the railroad tracks and extending south to Dennings Point. The proposal includes the following:

Hotel and Conference Center: Proposed construction of a 3 story mixed use hotel and conference center occupying approximately 50,000 square feet to house 140 hotel rooms, conference space, 2 restaurants, retail space, and office space. The majority of the structure is upland, with exception of the western edge of the building which would be constructed over the high water line resulting in 800 square feet below mean high water.

North Boardwalk and Public Plaza: A 22,000 square foot pile supported boardwalk in proposed which would wrap the northern and north western shorelines of the project site for sigh-seeing, fishing, and other recreational use. The western end of the boardwalk would be a 10,400 square foot open public plaza for seasonal outdoor events.

Re-sculpting of Shoreline: Approximately 365 feet of shoreline is proposed to be re-sculpted to provide approximately 15,000 square feet of new water area. This would be accomplished through the excavation of 4000 cubic yards of material.

Replacement Bulkhead, New Beach, Rip rap: The existing timber bulkhead south of the proposed new water area and wrapping the shore to the new beach area would be replaced with a new timber sheet pile bulkhead as close as possible to the existing.

The existing navigation aid west of the new beach area and the existing concrete debris seaward of the bulkhead would be removed, and new rip rap installed to help stabilize the new replacement bulkhead at that location. At the proposed new beach, 185 feet of shoreline would be transformed into a kayak beach. The existing concrete debris would be removed and replaced with an armored slope overlain with smooth riverbed stone.

Floating Walkways and Gangways: A 210 foot by 15 foot floating dock with a 70 foot by 8 foot gangway to shore is proposed that would provide a passenger drop-off point for recreational boaters on day trips and additional area for recreational use. The platform would be a seasonal structure that would be brought ashore for the winter months.

Man-made Channel: As part of the proposed storm water drainage system, a series of terraced pools and weirs would be installed upland of the new water area. Fed by storm water, the pools and accompanying vegetation would provide a storm water treatment system that has been designed to deliver treated storm water to the river.

Miscellaneous Structures: A 4,000 square foot barn would be renovated, and a 3,000 square foot boat storage building is proposed to be built. Both structures are upland and within 300 feet of shore.

The stated purpose of the proposed project is to revitalize the waterfront at an old industrial site.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activity may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, October 25, 2007.

Comments should be addressed to the Division of Coastal Resources and Waterfront Revitalization, New York State Department of State, 41 State Street, Albany, New York 12231. Telephone [phone]; Fax [phone].

This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.
