Dear Jennifer Geraghty:
Thank you for requesting the comments of the Division for Historic Preservation of the Office of
Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP). We have reviewed the submitted
materials in accordance with the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 (section
14.09 of the New York Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law). These comments are
those of the Division for Historic Preservation and relate only to Historic/Cultural resources.
They do not include potential environmental impacts to New York State Parkland that may be
involved in or near your project. Such impacts must be considered as part of the environmental
review of the project pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (New York
Environmental Conservation Law Article 8) and its implementing regulations (6NYCRR Part
617).
OPRHP has reviewed the Phase I Archaeological Survey report entitled “Phase I Archeological
Investigation, 1471 Route 9 Development, Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York”
prepared by Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. (August 2022, 22SR00429). The
archaeological survey identified the 1471 Route 9 Surface Dump Site (11308.000383). Based
on the report findings, OPRHP recommends that the 1471 Route 9 Surface Dump Site is Not
Eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and we concur with the report
recommendation that no additional archaeological work is necessary.
It is the opinion of the OPRHP that no properties, including archaeological and/or historic
resources, listed in or eligible for the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places
will be impacted by this project. If you have any questions, I can be reached at
Jessica.Schreyer@parks.ny.gov.
Sincerely,
Jessica Schreyer
