The Rhinebeck Planning Board has suspended its review of the Rhinebeck Villas hotel project following concerns from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regarding the wastewater discharge plan. The DEC found that the project has not demonstrated a continuous stream channel necessary for permitting, which is needed for state approval. The hotel aims to construct a wastewater treatment plant discharging into a tributary of the Rhinebeck Kill, vital for receiving the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.
