The Conservation Advisory
Council consists of seven (7) members appointed by the Town Board. The
CAC advises the Town Board on the issuing of permits for the development
and management of Riverhead Towns natural resources, with emphasis on
the protection of these resources.
The CAC, in addition to
the Planning Department, reviews applications for permits, and inspect
properties, for all regulated activities within 150 feet of ALL
freshwater wetlands & 300 feet of ALL tidal wetlands. Chapter 107 of
the Riverhead Town Code describes the regulations requiring permits for
structures, dredging, clearing, planting, bulkheads, docks, roads and
waste disposal systems.
Riverhead residents who
are considering property improvements within 150 feet of freshwater
wetlands/300 feet of tidal wetlands should contact the Planning
Department for CAC permit applications and instructions. Obtaining a
CAC permit is a required step in the process of obtaining a building
permit for any project within the coastal zone or adjacent to freshwater
wetlands in the town.
