The Halfway Brook watershed comprises approximately 56,43o acres located in Warren and Washington Counties and is a sub-watershed within the southern end of the Lake Champlain drainage basin. The upper reaches of the watershed are the water supply for the City of Glens Falls and adjacent areas of the Town of Queensbury. The Halfway Brook Reservoir is located within the Town of Queensbury and owned by the City of Glens Falls. It is one of four separate reservoir systems that provide drinking water to City residents. The parcels that comprise the City-owned watershed land around Halfway Brook Reservoir include the "Halfway Brook Lower Watershed." Residents of the area rely on the reservoir for drinking water.Within the watershed, stormwater runoff is a water quality concern. The Town of Queensbury proposes to develop a multi-use trail within the Halfway Brook Lower Watershed. The active use of the Halfway Brook Lower Watershed, for recreation purposes, is permitted by a License Agreement between the Town of Queensbury and City of Glens Falls. The purpose of this Plan is to ensure that the trail's development and limited active recreational use is protective of water quality within the watershed. This Plan developed under the guidance of the Watershed Committee,comprised of representatives from both municipalities. Page. 1 Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Recreation Management Plan 2.0 Backgrounc In 2000, the Warren and Washington County Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) prepared "The Halfway Brook Watershed Assessment Plan." The study was conducted to identify areas of stormwater runoff and associated water quality concerns with the watershed, evaluate what is causing the concerns, and recommend specific solutions. The study found that Halfway Brook's water quality is influenced by runoff from both developed areas and agricultural lands.A reduction in non-point sources of pollutants would improve water quality and the aquatic habitat available to organisms. Over the past several years, the Town of Queensbury has worked to expand the local and regional pedestrian and bicycle network, including designated bike routes and constructing trails. The Town is currently planning the Halfway Brook Trail. The trail will run between Aviation Road (to the north), Peggy Anne Road(to the south), and through the Halfway Brook Lower Watershed property. The property is currently not open to public use. However, in recent years, trespassers have become more frequent. There is concern that unregulated use of the land could lead to wildfires, destroy vegetation, introduce invasive species, create erosion and affect the watershed's water quality. The City of Glens Falls has granted the Town of Queensbury a license agreement for the creation of this trail.This plan developed as a condition of the license agreement. The Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Management Plan (the "Plan") was prepared to ensure that recreation occurs responsibly and does not negatively affect water quality. The Plan is intended to outline details and standards to guide the trail's construction, the wise use of the land for recreational purposes, and its continued maintenance and management. When working on a project that involves a variety of issues and that impacts several people, representatives of the public should be included. A steering committee comprised of persons with different ideas and interests in the region helps to guide a project through the objectives.Also, having a diverse committee addresses questions and concerns that arise. The Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Recreation Management Plan Steering Committee was created for this purpose. The Committee include representatives from both the Town of Queensbury and the City of Glens Falls. Their goal is to formulate the recommendations included in this Plan. Halfway Brook runs from the forested watershed of the Luzerne Mountains, through the Towns of Queensbury and Fort Ann to the Champlain Canal. In Warren County, Halfway Brook is listed as a Class AA(T) waterbody by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). An AA(T) classification declares that the best use of this water shall be for "drinking, culinary or food processing purposes; primary and secondary contact recreation; and fishing. These waters shall be suitable for fish propagation and survival."(NYSDEC,1.992). Page. 2 Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Recreation Management Plan The Halfway Brook watershed comprises approximately 56,43o acres located in Warren and Washington Counties and is a sub-watershed within the southern end of the Lake Champlain drainage basin. The upper reaches of the watershed (located within the Town of Queensbury and owned by the City of Glens Falls) are the water supply for the City of Glens Falls and adjacent areas of the Town of Queensbury. These parcels comprise the "Halfway Brook Lower Watershed" and are located around the Halfway Brook Reservoir, which was created by the installation of a dam along Halfway Brook. The Glens Falls Water Department's"Annual Drinking Report for 2018: Glens Falls Water Supply"found the Halfway Brook Reservoir to have "an elevated susceptibility to contamination." The report noted that "the amount of residential land cover in the assessment area results in elevated potential for microbials"(the growth of microorganisms such as algae). Page. 3 Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Recreation Management Plan 3,o Halfway Brook Trail Watershec Management Recommendations The severity of impacts to water quality are tied to the proximity of activities to the water source and the types of uses that are permitted. Designated trails, such as those planned by the Town of Queensbury, help focus impacts of recreation on water sources. They keep people out of areas that could damage water quality through either sedimentation, erosion or contamination from microorganisms. The Watershed Use Principles outlined below, a condition of the license agreement between the Town of Queensbury and City of Glens Falls, are intended to minimize impacts on the Halfway Brook watershed. The following measures shall be taken in preparation for and during construction. • The Town shall submit detailed plans for approval by the City(Attachment A). • The Town shall submit and enforce a soil erosion and sedimentary control plan (Attachment A). • Before the trail is open to the public the Town shall seek final approval by the City. • The Town shall inspect all construction and inspection vehicles, and equipment before entering the property, to ensure that non-native and invasive species(e.g., Japanese knotweed) are not brought onto the site. • The construction of any stream crossings shall be carefully considered to minimize contact with the water and discourage public access to the water. • One year after construction, the committee shall perform a review to identify any improvements that are needed. The Town shall develop informational signage to be placed within the planned trail alignment. The signage will inform users of the importance of the Halfway Brook Watershed and the Glens Falls Watershed as the sole source of the City's drinking water. Said signage shall include additional descriptive material about the resource. Example signage and language is provided as Attachment B and is subject to final review and approval by the Watershed Committee. • The Town shall develop informational signage that lists permitted and prohibited uses on the Halfway Brook Trail. o Permitted uses shall include walking/pedestrian use and biking. Dogs shall only be permitted on leash. o Prohibited uses shall include camping, fires, any water-based activities (e.g., fishing, swimming, boating), tree clearing, horses/equestrian, dumping, the use of unauthorized motor vehicles (e.g. ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles), and the use of firearms;dogs shall not be permitted to be off-leash or in the water. • The Town shall develop informational signage indicating that the Halfway Brook Trail is open for public use from dawn to dusk, only. Page. 4 Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Recreation Management Plan • The Town shall develop informational signage to be posted at the two trailheads to inform users of other local recreation areas. This signage may also be posted at the Dixon Road/utility line point of access frequented by unauthorized users of the watershed property. • The signage would indicate where activities not permitted within the Glens Falls Watershed are allowed. Said signage would include a map with the location of these other Town recreation areas. • The Town shall develop informational signage that provides contact information for Halfway Brook Trail users. Said signage shall indicate that the Town of Queensbury should be contacted for all maintenance requests and the City should be contacted if any illegal activities (camping, fires, dumping,tree cutting)are observed on premises. The Town shall install gates at the trailhead before the announcement of any public watershed use. Attachment C-i depicts the location and details of gates to be installed by the Town Attachment C-2 provides an overall location of gates on the watershed property. The Town will install boulders or other similar obstructions to discourage illegal access. The City shall have the right to supplement the trailhead gates with 6-inch trees and/or post (or other materials) to discourage illegal access. Vehicle access to the Halfway Brook Trail shall be allowed for authorized activities including inspection and maintenance of the trail. Emergency access/first responders shall be provided access. The Town's municipal forces shall be responsible for routine maintenance of the Halfway Brook Trail, with the assistance of the Town's Parks and Recreation Department for periodic maintenance. • Select, unique maintenance activities(e.g.,the removal of large trees)shall be conducted by an outside contractor, at the discretion of the Town. • The Town of Queensbury shall notify the City of Glens Falls before the commencement of any major maintenance activities. The definition of major maintenance activities shall be at the discretion of the City. • The City shall retain the right to interrupt use of the trail, as necessary, for timber harvesting, forest management and property maintenance. The City proposes to maintain a buffer from the proposed trail consistent with the "Harvest Map" prepared by F&W Forestry Services, Inc. and included as Attachment D. Users of the Halfway Brook Trail will informally report illegal activities or maintenance issues using the contact information that shall be provided on informational signage. • The City of Glens Falls and Town of Queensbury shall continue periodic inspection of the Halfway Brook Trail and encompassing property to ensure the protection of the Halfway Brook and Glens Falls Watershed's water quality. • Anyone found engaging in any prohibited or illegal use or activity shall be subject to criminal prosecution in connection with said prohibited use, including trespass. Page. 5 Halfway Brook Lower Watershed Recreation Management Plan • The Town shall make sufficient periodic inspections of the trail to identify maintenance issues and emerging problems. • The Town shall actively enforce rules and regulations including trespass, motorized vehicle use and all other unpermitted activities. The Town shall circulate informational mailers (Attachment E) to adjacent landowners containing educational information on the Halfway Brook Watershed and permitted and prohibited uses. Said informational mailer shall include information on stormwater discharges and the use of fertilizer, including the NYS prohibition on the use of phosphorous, in addition to the prohibition of dumping of lawn waste and invasive species. Said mailer shall also include information on where to access additional information on the watershed, including the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District(WCSWCD). The Town shall conduct additional sampling and monitoring of outfalls as a component of MS4 required monitoring of water quality including levels of: o Phosphorus o Nitrogen o Coliform The results shall be provided to the City on a timely basis.

BID SPECIFICATIONS AND PROJECT SCOPE PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Construction of a trail, the Halfway Brook Trail. The Halfway Brook Trail (1.2 miles) is to be used by pedestrians and bicyclists. ATTACHMENTS: A. Trail location B. Trail design details I C. Trail design details II D. Water bar and outflow designs and locations E. Potter Road parking area location F. Peggy Ann Road parking location G. Gate locations H. Gate details I. Stabilized construction entrance J. Silt fence and/or silk sock locations LOCATION: In the Town of Queensbury, the Glens Falls' Lower Watershed, located between Potter Road (north side of watershed) and Peggy Ann Road (south side of watershed). See ATTACHMENT A. CONSTRUCTION OF TRAIL: 1. Prior to the onset of construction activity, stabilized construction entrances must be created at both Potter Road and Peggy Ann Road entries. See ATTACHMENT I. 2. The proposed trail construction needs to widen the pre-existing trail to create a trail of a minimum of 10 foot wide. However, the clearing for the trail has to be 14 foot in width and 12 foot in height. Therefore, brush clearing, tree removal and grading should occur prior to trail surface application, unless there is a logistical reason to do otherwise. See ATTACHMENT B & C. 3. A pre-bid site visit is scheduled for 2/14/20 at noon so that potential bidders can evaluate existing conditions (figure about 2 hours). 4. The trail surface aggregate (TSA) will be Item #4 and will be supplied and delivered by others. However, the contractor must make arrangements with the Item #4 supplier as to deliveries and delivery location, base at Potter Road or base at Peggy Ann Road. a. The TSA will be a minimum of 4 inches in depth and 10 foot in width. b. The estimated amount of item 4 needed for the 1.15 mile trail is about 1,800 yards of material, including the parking lots. c. The TSA should be placed from the furthest point working towards the source to avoid running equipment on the final trail. d. TSA will be placed with a crown or cross-slope of not less than 2%for drainage and not more than 5%. e. A minimum 3 ton vibratory roller is to be used to compact the final surface. £ Because the immediate approaches to Halfway Brook are steeper, the trail drainage in those areas must be addressed before TSA placement. Water bars 3 need to be constructed here in accord with trail design - See design detail ATTACHMENT D. i. If construction of this part of the trail may need some disturbing of the adjacent bank-then those banks will need to be stabilized with mulch. g. Location of silt fences or silt socks will be placed where required by permits. Permits to be provided to contractor by town. See ATTACHMENT J. 5. Trail construction phases 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5: a. Phase I: Clearing and construction of trail from Halfway Brook to Peggy Ann Road. NOTE: This must be done sometime prior to June 1,2020—to enable the construction of the bridge (to be constructed by others). b. Phase 2: Clearing and construction of trail from Halfway Brook Bridge to Potter Road. c. Phase 3: Backfill to bridge end heights and apply TSA. d. Phase 4: Create parking areas. e. Phase 5: Install gates. NOTE: Phases 2 through 5 must be completed prior to November 1, 2020. CONSTRUCTION OF PARKING AREAS: 1. See ATTACHMENTS E and F. INSTALLATION OF GATES 1.

SIGNED SWORN to before me this day of 20_ Notary Public: 28 Questions from parties interested in bidding on the Halfway Brook Trail: 1. Question: Is there a recap of the walkthrough? a. Answer: no 2. Question:The gate detail shows a single gate and a double gate. Are all 10 of the gates single? a. Answer:All ten trail-related gates are the 14 foot, single gate style. 3. Question:Are there stumps in the existing trail? a. Answer: No 4. Question: I only see two gates. a. Answer: 10 gates -see attached. 5. Question: Does the contractor supply the following: Silt fence/sock, rebar and stakes for water bars,#4 rock for spillway. a. Answer: yes 6. Question: Will the town be constructing the guard rail fencing around the parking area? a. Answer:yes 7. Question: Will the town be supplying the boulders to provide additional blockage ate the trail gate sites? a. Answer:yes 8. Question:Are the stumps to be cut flush or removed? a. Answer: Stumps that are part of the trail need to be removed, stumps that are not part of the trail (outside of the fourteen foot) can be cut flush. 9. Question: Are the edges to be top soiled, seeded or mulched? a. Answer:The edges (two foot margins) on either side of the trail (ten foot in width),just have to be cleared. 10. Question: Are there logs on site to be used for the water bars? a. Answer:The town will supply the water bar logs. 11. Question: Is the owner providing the material necessary to grade the trail to the minimum 5% longitudinal Slope? Or are we simply following the existing grade? a. Answer: I am not sure of the question. Is the contractor asking about the cross-slope for the water bars? If so, see below. For the most part,the contractor will follow existing trail and slope. 12. Question: Will there be a time frame restriction on clearing? If so please provide that date and the when contractor will have notice to proceed with clearing restrictions. a. Answer: Yes, between April and October(bat thing). What we'll do is work with the contractor that gets awarded the bid—we'll walk the trail and parking areas and identify the trees that would have to be taken down prior to March 30.Then we can cut and fall and,when we can get to it, push aside. 13. Question: Please specify the exact number of water bars on each side of the existing stream. a. Answer: Please see attached. 14. Question: What is the number of Waterbars we will need on each side? a. Answer: please see attached. 15. Question: Are we to lay the TSA on top of the existing trail or box out the trail? a. Answer:Yes, the existing trail will need some grooming/preparation prior to application of the item 4. 16. Question: Please acknowledge and confirm that on the severe downhill slopes of the trail the contractor is to pull the material from the downhill slope into the trail to get whatever width we can achieve,which may not be the width specified in the contract documents. a. Answer:Yes, pull the material from the downhill slope side. The ideal width is 14 feet. However,there will be times, like a huge tree preservation, where we will have something less than 14 feet—that is QK. 17. Is there any dimension for the rock spillways? a. Answer: about 3' x 3' x 1' Also,The City of Glens Falls has asked that they too be listed on your insurance as an additional insured; so that means you would need to supply two separate certificates, one for the City of G►ens Falls and one for the Town of Queensbury.
