Project Description: The Adirondack Park Agency proposes to issue a new General Permit/Order to authorize replacement of certain utility poles on lands owned by or within rights-of-way held by utility companies or the New York State Department of Transportation. The Permit/Order will be effective until revoked.

Any proposal that meets the following criteria is eligible for a certification issued pursuant to this General Permit/Order:

a. The project will be undertaken by a regional or municipal utility company;

b. The project site is located on lands owned by or within a right-of-way held by a regional or municipal utility company or the New York State Department of Transportation;

c. The sole basis of Agency jurisdiction for the project is the replacement of utility poles involving: i) an increase in height and resulting in a final height above grade in excess of 40 feet; and/or ii) wetlands;

d. The project will not result in an increase in the number of utility poles; and

e. No proposed utility pole will increase by more than 25% in height above grade over the utility pole being replaced.

The Agency will issue a signed certification approving the project within 10 business days of receipt of a complete application for a proposal that meets the eligibility criteria. The General Permit/Order includes conditions related to compliance with applicable laws, regulations, safety requirements, and specifications; mitigation of impacts to wetlands; control of invasive species; and compliance.
