Matter of Dujmich v. Fw. Wetlands Appeals Bd.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 30, 1997
240 A.D.2d 743 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

June 30, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Leone, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with one bill of costs payable to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.

The petitioners' claims with respect to the determination of the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Appeals Board directing the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (hereinafter DEC) to issue a permit authorizing the development of the subject property, and their claims with respect to the issuance of that permit are time barred ( see, CPLR 217).

The petitioners' claims with respect to the issuance of a septic system permit by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (hereinafter DEP), while not time barred, are meritless. The record indicates that the DEP properly determined that the proposed septic system satisfied all applicable conditions imposed by the New York State Department of Health, and that the landowners were entitled to their permit as a matter of right. Thus, review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (ECL 8-0101 et seq. [SEQRA]) and the New York City Environmental Quality Review Act (Executive Order No. 91 of City of NY, Aug. 24, 1977 [CEQR]) was not required ( see, Incorporated Vil. of Atl. Beach v. Gavalas, 81 N.Y.2d 322; Matter of Cokertown/Spring Lake Envtl. Assn. v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals, 169 A.D.2d 765; Citizens for Preservation of Windsor Terrace v. Smith, 122 A.D.2d 827).

The petitioners' remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

Thompson, J.P., Joy, Altman and Florio, JJ., concur.
