to adjacent areas.
D The site plan must conform to Chapter 136 Sewage and Sewage Disposal,Chapter 147 Stormwater Management Local Law,and other
applicable local laws.
E The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose or intent of this Chapter,specifically taking into account the location,
character and size of the proposed use and the description and purpose of the district in which such use is proposed,the nature and intensity
of the activities to be involved in or conducted in connection with the proposed use and the nature and rate of any increase in the burden on
supporting public services and facilities which will follow the approval of the proposed use.
F The establishment,maintenance and operation of the proposed use will not create public hazards from traffic,traffic congestion or the
parking of vehicles and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the health,safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in
the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the town. Traffic access and circulation,road intersections,road and driveway widths and
traffic controls will be adequate.
CJ Off-street parking and 19oading facilities will be appropriately located and arranged and sufficient to meet traffic anticipated to be generated
by the new use. The establishment of vehicle links between parking areas of adjacent properties are provided where feasible. This furthers
the Town's goal of reducing curb cuts and reducing congestion. A twenty-foot wide connection is required. If adjacent properties are either
undeveloped or previously developed without having made provision for future linkage,then a future connection must be identified and
provided for in the site plan under review for such future linkage when the time arises. The Planning Board may require proof that the
applicant has made contact with adjacent property owners for purposes of coordinating linkages with adjacent properties.
H The project shall not have an undue adverse impact upon the natural,scenic,aesthetic,ecological,wildlife,historic,recreational or open

Site Plan Review Standards A thru O
Bielecki Mixed Use — Luzerne Road
September 2017
The following are responses to questions A thru O of the site plan review standards:
A. The project site is located within an industrial land use area identified on the
Recommended Land Use Map as part of the 2007 Town's Comprehensive Plan. The
projects mixed uses consisting of offices, light manufacturing & warehousing which are
typical of light industrial land use areas and are therefore consistent with the Town's
Comprehensive Plan.
B. The project is designed to fit within the allowed dimensional setbacks, and all other bulk
and density items comply with the requirements of the zoning district.
C. Pedestrian activities within the site are encouraged by the use of sidewalks along the
parking areas. There are no existing sidewalks along Luzerne Road.
D. The site is not located within an existing sewer district or within 250 feet of an existing
sewer line, therefore an on-site sewage disposal system is required. The proposed septic
system is a shallow conventional system designed in accordance with Chapter 136 and
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation regulations. All stormwater runoff from
impervious areas shall be managed on-site in accordance with Chapter 147 and NYS
Department of Conservation SPDES General Permit for Construction Activities. (See
attached Stormwater Management Report and SWPPP).
E. The proposed use is a mixed use facility and is an allowed use within the CLI zone.
F. The site has been designed so that on site traffic will take place around the perimeter of the
lot and there are two proposed curb cuts along Luzerne Road to make access to the site
easier from either direction. The property has good sight lines in both directions on
Luzerne Road and is in close proximity to Exit 18 via Media drive. (see attached CME
Traffic Assessment)
G. The proposed facility provides for parking along the main drive around the entirety of the
proposed building. The main drives are 26 and 28 feet wide to provide sufficient area for
larger delivery and emergency vehicles. New parking areas will be accessed via two curb
cuts at the east and west boundaries of the property at Luzerne Road.
H. The project is proposed to occupy a total of approximately 4-1/2 acres on a roughly 13 acre
site which is approximately 1/3 of the site and therefore will not create an undue adverse
impact on any of the listed items contained herein. Letters to NYS Office of Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation, NY Natural Heritage Program and U.S Fish and
Wildlife have been sent seeking more information regarding wildlife and historic natural
resources at the site.
I. The on-site circulation takes place mainly around the perimeter of the site and there are
sidewalks provided around all aspects of the parking areas and access walks to the
buildings take place at many intervals.
J. All stormwater runoff from impervious areas shall be managed on-site in accordance with
Chapter 147 and NYS Department of Conservation SPDES General Permit for
Construction Activities. (See attached Stormwater Management Report and SWPPP). Soil
testing has been performed at the site resulting in the discovery of both native and non-
native soil types. The percolation rate of the native soil is very good and the soil make-up is
mainly medium sands and the ground water location is a minimum of 84" below existing the

existing surface. Based on the topography of the site the buildings will be placed basically
at the existing grade and new fill material will be brought in around the proposed buildings
to provide the needed stormwater management for all new hard surfaces. Steps have been
taken to manage the roof drainage through eave trenches.
K. Water supply will be provided from the Town of Queensbury municipal system. Both
buildings will be provided with fire suppression sprinkler systems and fire flow testing on
existing hydrants will be performed to confirm adequate water flow and pressure for the
proposed buildings. The sewage disposal system is designed to provide the required
amount of disposal area for both buildings on the site.
L. New landscaping is proposed and is detailed on the proposed site plan.
M. Emergency access is provided around the proposed buildings and a two new hydrants
area proposed at the rear of the lot as per the Town of Queensbury Fire Marshal
recommendations.
N. All stormwater runoff from impervious areas shall be managed on-site in accordance with
Chapter 147 and NYS Department of Conservation SPDES General Permit for
Construction Activities. (See attached Stormwater Management Report and SWPPP).
O. Proposed lighting will be recessed downcast fixtures with cut-off lenses mounted at the
personnel entrances to the proposed facility renovation. New pole lights will be installed as
shown on the attached lighting plan to provide adequate light coverage for all parking
areas, driveways and proposed sidewalks along the buildings.

Hazardous Waste Disposal Period
From: 1961 To: 1977
Site Description
The Glens Falls Municipal Landfill Site is located on an approximately 15 acre parcel north of Luzerne
Road and east of Interstate 87 (Adirondack Northway) in the Town of Queensbury, Warren County,
New York. An active transfer station operated by the Town of Queensbury is located between the
landfill mass and Luzerne Road. The transfer station opened on ,January 2, 1977 and accepts
municipal waste and recyclables. The main entrance to the site is through the transfer station.
Currently, the landfill is covered with trees and overgrown grass/weed vegetation. Several dirt trails
traverse the landfill in various directions and appear to be regularly utilized by off-road recreational
vehicles. There are sporadic locations where the landfill mass has limited soil cover causing its
contents to become exposed. The area surrounding the landfill is an urban area, encompassing
residential and light commercial properties, and to a lesser extent vacant land. A storage facility and
three residential dwellings are located immediately north of the landfill. A six lane highway (Interstate
87) is located immediately west of the site. Residential dwellings and a cemetery occupy the land to
the south. A federally designated wetland is located to the northeast of the site. The Luzerne Road
Site (5-57-010), a Class 2 Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site is located immediately east of the
site. The City of Glens Falls operated the Glens Falls Municipal Landfill as a municipal solid waste
(MSW) landfill for approximately 16 years from 1961 to 1977. It has been reported that the landfill was
used primarily for disposal of municipal refuse, however, an unknown quantity of PCB capacitors may
have been deposited at this landfill. In the late 1970s, closure efforts were made through grading and
seeding, but they were not considered sufficient to properly close the landfill, resulting in the City
being in non-compliance with NYSDEC Part 360 landfill closure requirements. An alternative to
complete closure was implemented by the Glens Falls Rotary Club in 1979. Some work was done to
re-grade side slopes and place clean vegetated soil cover over the site. in 1988, the NYSDEC listed
the site as a Class 2 site in the Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in New York. A
Class 2 site is a site where hazardous waste presents a significant threat to the public health or the
environment and action is required. Several investigations were performed between 1983 and 1997 at
this site prior to the current RIlFS activities_ These investigations included: a Phase I Investigation
completed in 1983 to do a preliminary assessment of the site; a Phase II Investigation completed in
1987 to characterize the site; a groundwater sampling and analysis program was completed by the
City of Glens Falls in 1990. The conclusion of the program was that further investigation was needed
to delineate PCB contamination detected in the groundwater; and a supplemental sampling project
was completed by NYSDEC in 1996. The purpose of this sampling project was to determine if the
landfill was a source of PCB contamination in groundwater and if the site could be delisted. The
recommendation was that the site remain a classified as Class 2 Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal
Site. A Consent Order for a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) with the City was signed
on March 31, 2000. The RVFS was completed by the City under a Title-3 Grant from the DEC. The
Record of Decision was signed in spring of 2003. The Remedial Design and Construction has been
substantially completed.
Contaminants of Concern (Including Materials Disposed)
Contaminant Name/Type
SUSPECTED: PCBS (BOOT)
CONFIRMED: INK SLUDGE (D001)
Site Environmental Assessment
Remediation of the Site is substantially completed. Prior to remediation, the primary contaminants of
concerns were PAHS in the surface soil and PCBS in the groundwater.
Site Health Assessment
Exposures to groundwater contamination leaving the landfill are not expected since the community is
serviced by public water. There is a potential for exposure for one known downgradient private well if
it were to be used for irrigation or consumption. There are numerous dirt bike trails on-site indicating
the regular use of the site by trespassers, These trespassers may come in contact with landfill waste
uncovered in areas where previous soil cover has eroded. Remedial actions are planned to cover the
landfill and fence the entire perimeter which will deter future trespassers and eliminate potential
exposures to landfill waste.

Hazardous Waste Disposal Period
From: unknown To: unknown
Site Description
The site is located between Sherman Avenue and Luzerne Road in the Town of Queensbury
approximately 600 feet north of Luzerne Road and 6000 feet west of the Adirondack Northway. Cores
from stripped capacitors were found in a cleared area several acres in size. The capacitor cores
appeared to have originated from an area 25 feet in diameter and are now spread over a 100 foot x
200 foot area. Each core had a dark stain surrounding it in the soil and there was a PCB odor in that
area. The capacitor cores were unearthed during clearing and earth-moving activities. The cores
observed are typical of five gallon PCB units. Intact, one gallon size capacitors were also present at
the site. Past sampling results revealed PCBs in soils of up to 25,000 ppm and PCB within the liquids
were estimated to be nearly 100%. A Record of Decision was signed on March 31, 1997 and called
for the delineation and removal of the PCB contaminated soils at the site. The ROD also called for the
excavated soils to be shipped to an acceptable disposal facility and the excavated areas to be back-
filled, graded and seeded. The Remedial Action has been completed in accordance with the ROD and
the site has been delisted from the Registry.
Contaminants of Concern (Including Materials Disposed)
Contaminant NamelType
PCBS (6005 AND 8007)

Site Description
Location: The Luzerne Road Site is located in the Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York. It
lies west of the City of Glens Falls, approximately 1,000 feet east of Interstate 87 and approximately
3,500 feet north of the Hudson River. Site Features: The Site, as defined by the NYSDEC, consists of
two adjoining land parcels, 51 Luzerne Road (Tax Map Lot No. 309.10-1-91) and the northern portion
of 53 Luzerne Road (Tax Map Lot No. 309.10-1-90). The eight acre parcel at 51 Luzerne Road is
owned by the State of New York, while the 1.2 acre northern portion of the 53 Luzerne Road parcel is
owned privately. The 2.7 acre Containment Cell was formerly present on the northern portion of the 51
Luzerne Road property. Following completion of the OU-2 remediation, the undeveloped portions of
the Site were backfilled to create a relatively flat surface, and then restored with surface vegetation.
Current Zoning/Use(s): The Site (Tax Map Lot Nos. 309.10-1-91 and 309.10-1-90) is zoned
commercial/light industrial (CLI). The Site is located among residential, commercial/ light industrial,
and vacant properties. Immediately to the east and north of the 51 Luzerne Road parcel is
undeveloped property. To the west and southwest of the Site are two privately owned parcels (a
furniture distribution warehouse and a commercial office occupy a structure on the southern portions
of these parcels). Further to the north and west lies the Old Glens Falls Landfill, a Class 2 Inactive
Hazardous Waste Site (Site No. 5-57-003), which is currently being remediated. The Luzeme Road
Transfer Station, owned by the City of Glens Falls, is present to the west of the 55 Luzerne Road
parcel. Luzerne Road is the southem boundary of the Site. Multi- and single-family residences and the
St. Alphonsus Cemetery are present opposite the Site on the south side of Luzerne Road. Historical
Use(s): The Site was historically a scrap and salvage yard for automobiles, machinery, and other
industrial equipment. Salvaging operations of capacitor equipment performed from the1950s through
the 1970s on the northern portion of the 53 Luzerne Road property resulted in the discharge of PCBs
to surface and subsurface soils. Associated capacitor salvaging operations also contaminated the
backyards of private residences in a neighborhood approximately one mile to the west of the Site.
Upon discovery of contamination, an emergency declaration was issued for the Site by the
Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to limit human exposure to the
PCB contamination. As a temporary measure to stop PCB volatilization and prevent direct contact, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) granted approval for construction of the
Containment Cell for contaminated materials. In 1979, a clay-lined cell was constructed by the
NYSDEC on the northern portion of 51 Luzerne Road. Contaminated soil excavated from the private
residences and visibly contaminated soil and other contaminated materials removed from areas of the
Site were subsequently placed in the Containment Cell. The Containment Cell reached its capacity
before the excavations of contaminated soil were completed. A Memorandum to the NYSDEC dated
1982 stated that, as a result of the lack of space in the Containment Cell, contaminated soil was left
in-place in a 2 acre area on the north ends of 53 Luzerne Road and 55 Luzerne Road. This area was
backfilled and capped with 1 foot of a highly organic material to reduce the volatilization and mobility
of the remaining PCBs. Subsequently, a 6 inch layer of topsoil was installed and surface vegetation
was established. A cover was constructed on the Containment Cell and groundwater monitoring wells
(MWs) were installed. From 1979 through 1985, leachate that collected in the Containment Cell was
removed and transported off-site for treatment and disposal. In 1985, an "engineered cover" was
installed on the Containment Cell in an effort to reduce leachate production. Subsequently, liquid
remained in the Containment Cell and the leachate level was monitored for 10 years. In 1995,
leachate levels within the Containment Cell decreased unexpectedly, suggesting the possible
presence of a leak in the cell liner. A potential release of PCBs into the underlying groundwater may
have resulted from this event. At that time, the remaining leachate was removed from the
Containment Cell. It was transported off-site for treatment and disposal. Periodic monitoring of the
wells and the Containment Cell leachate level continued from 1979 through March 2005. Interim
Remedial Measures (IRMs)were undertaken in 2000 and 2003 to remove and dispose of additional
PCB-contaminated soils from residential properties associated with the Site. A Remedial Investigation
(RI) of the Site was conducted by Ecology and Environment Engineering, P.C. (E & E) from July 1999
to March 2001. Supplemental groundwater sampling was performed in 2002 and 2004. A feasibility
study was performed by E & E and completed in May 2004. In 2005 DEC issued a record of decision
(ROD)required onsite thermal treatment of all contaminated soils (except the clay liner in the cell) and
backfilling of the soils on-site. The clay liner material was to be disposed of in an off-site secure
landfill. Only one bid was received and that bid significantly exceeded the cost estimate of the
selected remedy contained in the ROD. Due to the high cost of the bid and the lack of sufficient
competition, the bid was rejected. In 2008 DEC issued an Explanation of Significant Differences
(ESD) modifying the remedy allowing those wastes containing PCBs greater than 50 ppm to be
excavated and disposed off-site in a secure landfill permitted to accept this soil, rather than thermally
treated. Soils with PCB contamination equal to or less than 50 parts per million (ppm) would still be
treated on-site using low temperature thermal treatment, consistent with the originally selected
remedy. This modified remedy was implemented in 2008 and completed in 2009. As part of the action,
45,032 cubic yards of soil with PCBs greater than 50 ppm were excavated and sent offsite for
disposal. Another 49,479 cubic yards of soil with PCB less than 50 ppm were excavated. On-site
thermal treatment was used to process 64,222 tons of the latter type of soils, and used on-site for
backfilling excavations. During implementation of the remedy, thousands of capacitors were also
encountered in the containment cell; approximately 2,173,000 pounds of capacitors were removed
and shipped off-site for incineration during the remediation. The remedy achieved the 1 ppm for
surface and 10 ppm PCB for subsurface criteria specified in the remedy. A demarcation layer (visual
marker) was placed over soils with PCB greater than 1 ppm in the subsurface, before placing backfill
and restoring surface vegetation. A final engineering certification report documenting the remedial
action was completed in 2010. Site Geology and Hydrogeology: The Site and a majority of the
surrounding area are underlain by glacial and alluvial deposits (Fisher et al., 1970). Bedrock, which is
primarily shale and limestone, is encountered at depths ranging from 110 to 130 feet below ground
surface (bgs) at the Site. However, the nature of the bedrock is unknown. Natural near-surface
deposits at the Site are lacustrine sand associated with large bodies of water (Cadwell et al., 1986).
These very fine sands to coarse sands are described as well sorted and well drained (EEEPC, 2002).
Water levels in existing monitoring wells on the Site indicate that the water table is approximately 18
to 24 feet bgs. Groundwater generally follows the topographic gradient of the area, flowing southeast
across the Site. It ultimately flows with a hydraulic gradient of approximately 0.005 feet per foot (fUft)
toward the Hudson River to the south of the Site, which is a regional groundwater discharge area. The
average hydraulic conductivity from slug tests in the Site wells is 175 ft/day.

Site Environmental Assessment
Nature and Extent of Contamination: PCB compounds in the subsurface soils have contaminated the
groundwater in the vicinity of this site. Exceedances of standards, criteria, and guidance include PCBs
in the groundwater and soils above clean-up guidance values in the surface and subsurface soils.
Groundwater monitoring wells were installed on-site and off-site in order to determine the
concentrations in the PCB plume. The site presented a significant threat due to direct exposure to
PCBs above clean-up guidance numbers and ongoing releases from sources areas (the subsurface
soils) of PCB contamination into groundwater. Remediation at this site was completed in the spring of
2009. The site is now in the site management phase. Prior to remediation: The following presents a
summary of the major site investigation findings, as presented in the remedial investigation report and
the subsequent Feasibility Study (FS) Report. Surface Soil: The southern portion of the Southern Area
contained widespread PCB presence. PCBs were present in surface soils in the Southern Area of the
Site; concentrations ranged from below detection to 2,984 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). Access to
the area was not restricted; thus PCBs were available for human exposure via foot traffic. Surface soil
was the primary exposure medium for wildlife at the Site. PCBs were detected in surface soil samples
at concentrations exceeding NYSDEC's ecological criteria. Small mammals, songbirds, and raptors
potentially could have been exposed to the contamination and adversely affected. A toxic effect
analysis was recommended. Since there were no fish in the ditch or wetland area, the Site did not
pose an impact to fish. Subsurface Soil: Subsurface soil PCB presence was limited to the Western
and Southern Areas. PCBs were detected to a depth of 12 feet in the middle of the Southern Area,
and to a depth of 16 feet in the western flank of the Southern Area. PCBs were also detected to a
depth of 24 feet in the Western Area. The greatest subsurface soil total PCB concentration detected
was 17,200 mg/kg, found in the 0-to 4 foot depth interval in the parking lot located within the Western
Area of the Site. PCBs were not detected in the Eastern Area. The VOCs xylene and methylene
chloride were identified in Western Area Site soils at very low concentrations. These findings were
consistent with historical data regarding evidence of VOCs in the area. VOCs detected in
Containment Cell soils were also consistent with historical data, as some Western Area Site soils
were placed in the Containment Cell. Groundwater: PCBs were found in groundwater beneath the
Site ranging from 13 to 24 feet bgs at upgradient locations and 22 to 35 feet bgs at downgradient on-
site locations. PCBs were detected at depths of 40 to 55 feet bgs at off-site locations. However, PCBs
were not detected in groundwater collected from the 91 to 96 foot depth interval off-site, which is
consistent with on-site groundwater data from similar depths. On-site groundwater PCB
concentrations generally ranged from below the detection limit to 49.1 micrograms per liter (mcg/I or
ppb) directly downgradient of the Old City of Glens Falls Landfill. Groundwater PCB concentrations
downgradient of the Containment Cell generally ranged from below detection to 2.42 ppb, although
PCBs were detected at a concentration of 151 ppb in one well immediately adjacent to the cell.
However, PCBs were detected in another well 100 feet downgradient of this well at concentrations
ranging from 1.2 ppb to 2.42 ppb. In addition, groundwater samples collected downgradient of the Site
in March 2001 contained PGB concentrations ranging up to 5.4 ppb southeast of the Containment
Cell, although concentrations then decreased considerably downgradient from that point. Samples off-
site contained PGB concentrations which were just above the groundwater standard of 0.09 ppb, but
below the drinking water standard of 0.5 ppb. The residential properties downgradient of the cell were
served by a public water supply. Groundwater underlying the Site was determined to generally move
in a southeast direction. The Old City of Glens Falls Landfill is located hydraulically upgradient of the
Site, Groundwater data indicated metal-rich leachate and PCB-containing water entering the shallow
portion of the aquifer beneath the Old City of Glens Falls Landfill and flowing beneath the
Containment Cell. PCB and metal contribution from the Containment Cell to the groundwater was
minimal. Shallow groundwater data did not indicate that the Containment Cell provided significant
PCB contribution to the underlying groundwater. Sediment: Field sediment samples did not contain
detectable PCB concentrations based on a PCB screening analytical method having a 10 mg/kg
detection limit. A duplicate sediment sample was found to contain 0.08 microgram per kilogram (g/kg)
of PCBs. Sediments north of the Site may have received some minor PCB contamination due to PCB-
containing groundwater seeping from the Old City of Glens Falls Landfill into the wetland north of the
Site. Residential Surface and Subsurface Soil: Several events of residential surface and subsurface
soil sampling were conducted. Collectively, they indicated PCBs were present at concentrations
requiring immediate action. NYSDEC removed the PCB-containing soil as part of an interim remedial
measure. Post-remediation: Remediation at this site was completed in the spring of 2009. Surface
soils achieved the criterion of less than 1 mg/kg (ppm) of PCB. Subsurface soils achieved the criterion
of less than 10 ppm PCB. Residual soils with PCBs with concentrations greater than 1 ppm, but less
than 10 ppm are still present in some areas of the site. A demarcation layer was placed over these
areas prior to backfilling the excavations with clean material. The site is now in the site management
phase.
Site Health Assessment
The September through November 2000 removal action of PCB-contaminated soils from the six
residential properties has eliminated exposures to PCB-contaminated soil in these yards. No further
investigation or excavation of the identified residential soils are needed. Exposures to contaminated
groundwater are not expected because the area is served by public water. Eighteen residents had
their blood serum analyzed for PCBs. The PCB blood serum results for all participants are within the
expected range for the general population. The area of the PCB disposal cell is completely fenced.
Hazardous waste warning signs are posted to deter unauthorized entry.

The Historic Preservation Review Process in New York State
In order to insure that historic preservation is carefully considered in publicly-funded or permitted
. ,_:undertaklngs, there are laws at each level of government that require projects to be reviewed for
their potehf al OCj/L:
i
m effect on hi8fbric properties. At the federal level, Section 106 of the' National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NH-PA)-di-reLcts-the review of federally funded, licensed or permitted
projects. At the state level, Section 14.09 of the Now York State Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation Law of 1980 performs a comparable function.. Local environmental review for
rb.'16hiP!0aliti6s is carried out under the State Enviroilrnental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) of 1978.

hft�://hysbarks.siate.ny.us then select HISTORIC PRESERVATION then select Environmental Review
Project review is conducted in two stages. First, the Field Services Bureau assesses affected
properties to determine whether or not they are listed or eligible for listing in the Now York State or
National Registers of Historic Places. If so, it is deemed "historic" and worthy of protection and the
second stage of review is undertaken. The project is reviewed to evaluate its impact on, the
properties significant materials and character. Whore adverse effects are identified, alternatives are
explored to avoid, or reduce project impacts;where this is unsuccessful, mitigation measures are
developed and formal agreement documents are prepared stipulating these measures.

ARCHAEOLOGY COMMENTS
Phase I Archaeological Survey Recommendation
17PRO5350 -Boguslaw Bielecki Project
Based on available information, your project is located in an archaeologically sensitive area_Therefore, the
Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) recommends that a Phase I archaeological
survey is warranted for all portions of the project that will involve ground disturbance, unless substantial prior
ground disturbance can be documented. If you consider the entire project area to be disturbed, documentation
of the disturbance will need to be reviewed by OPRHP. Examples of disturbance include mining activities and
multiple episodes of building construction and demolition.
Documentation of ground disturbance should include a description of the disturbance with confirming evidence.
Confirmation can include current photographs and/or older photographs of the project area which illustrate the
disturbance (approximately keyed to a project area map), past maps or site plans that accurately record
previous disturbances, or current soil borings that verify past disruptions to the land. Agricultural activity is not
considered to be substantial ground disturbance.
Please note that in areas with alluvial soils or fill archaeological deposits may exist below the depth of
superficial disturbances such as pavement or even deeper disturbances, depending on the thickness of the
alluvium or fill. Evaluation of the possible impact of prior disturbance on archaeological sites must consider the
depth of potentially culture-bearing deposits and the depth of planned disturbance by the proposed project_
A Phase I survey is designed to determine the presence or absence of archaeological sites or other cultural
resources in the project's area of potential effect. The OPRHP can provide standards for conducting cultural
resource investigations upon request. Cultural resource surveys and survey reports that meet these standards
will be accepted and approved by the OPRHP.
Our office does not conduct cultural resources surveys. A 36 CFR 61 qualified archaeologist should be
retained to conduct the Phase I survey. Many archaeological consulting firms advertise their availability in the
yellow pages. The services of qualified archaeologists can also be obtained by contacting local, regional, or
statewide professional archaeological organizations. Phase I surveys can be expected to vary in cost per mile
of right-of-way or by the number of acres impacted. We encourage you to contact a number of consulting firms
and compare examples of each firm's work to obtain the best product.
Please also be aware that a Section 233 permit from the New York State Education Department (SED) may be
necessary before archaeological fieldwork is conducted on State-owned land. If any portion of the project
includes the lands of New York State you should contact the SED before initiating survey activities. The SED
contact is Christina B. Rieth and she can be reached at(518)402-5075. Section 233 permits are not required
for projects on private land.
If you have any questions concerning archaeology, please contact Daniel Bagrow at 518-268-2160 or

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered,proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat,that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(Service)under section 7(c)of the
Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). This list can also
be used to determine whether listed species may be present for projects without federal agency
involvement. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and
distribution of species, changed habitat conditions,or other factors could change this list.
Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the
potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated
and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations
implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90
days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service
recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC site at regular intervals
during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An
updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC. system by completing the same process
used to receive the enclosed list. If listed,proposed, or candidate species were identified as
potentially occurring in the project area,coordination with our office is encouraged.Information
on the steps involved with assessing potential impacts from projects can be found at:
http://www.fws.gov/northeast/nyfo/es/section7.htm
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
