WETLANDS

Weedsport Thruway Exit 40 11/12/2013 1:36:31 PM Page 1 of 3 CA-2 E W T E 40 NYSDEC Wetlands Mapped freshwater wetland W-18 is located on-site. This wetland is a class 2 wetland and Present? encompasses approximately 7 acres of the site.

National Wetlands Six National Wetland Inventory (federal and/or state) wetlands are mapped wholly or partially Inventory on the site. Within the site boundaries, these six wetlands represent forested and scrub-shrub covertypes and total approximately 21 acres.

Wetlands Delineation No wetland delineation material for the site was available for review. Available

WATERS / STREAMS

Onsite NYSDEC Mapped Two NYSDEC mapped streams exist within the site boundaries. Streams

Stream Classification One mapped stream enters the site from the south before turning due west. This stream is named tributary to the Seneca River, known a Putnam Brook. The second stream originates on the northern portion of the site, contributing its contents to the Seneca River. Both mapped streams are classified as Class C waters with C Standards.

Flow Regime Both mapped streams have perennial flow regimes.

Other Water Resources The Seneca River is located immediately north of the site, creating the northern site boundary.

Coastal Resources The site is not located within or near a Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat (SCFWH) area or within the NYS landward coastal boundary. The Town of Brutus is not recognized as having a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP).

FLOOD PLAINS

Flood Plain Information Portions of the site are located within 100-year floodplains according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Mapping. No floodway or coastal erosion hazard area designations were noted on the site.

FISH AND WILDLIFE

Nature Explorer Results The following state protected threatened and endangered species are documented by the (State Species) NYSDEC's Nature Explorer website for Cayuga County: Indiana bat, black tern, bald eagle, common tern, Henslow's sparrow, least bittern, northern harrier, pied-billed grebe, sedge wren, short-eared owl, Blanding's turtle, spiny softshell, lake sturgeon, pugnose shiner, dragon's mouth orchid, golden-seal, Hooker's orchid, nodding pogonia, puttyroot, scarlet Indian-paintbrush, southern twayblade, and blunt-lobe grape fern.

US Fish and Wildlife Federally protected species that are reported by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to potentially Service (Federal Species) inhabit the site include: Indiana bat and bog turtle.

CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES

Archaeologically Sensitive Area? Approximately 80% of the site is located within an Archaeological Sensitive Area, as mapped by the State Historic Preservation Office.

Nationally Registered or Eligible No National Register or National Register Eligible sites (that have been submitted for Historic Site? consideration) are identified on the site.

Adjoining a Nationally Registered No National Register or National Register Eligible sites are located on any adjoining or Eligible Historic Site? parcels to the site.

AGRICULTURAL

State Agricultural District This site is not located within a State certified mapped agricultural district for Cayuga County.

POTENTIAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

Section 404 Clean Water Act Nationwide or Individual Permit (USACE) Section 401 Water Quality Certification (NYSDEC) Article 15 Protection of Waters Permit for fill in Navigable Waters (NYSDEC) Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Permit (NYSDEC) State Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit (NYSDEC)

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS SUMMARY

A delineation of wetlands located both on-site and on adjacent parcels should be completed prior to any development of this site. Based on the mapping resources it is apparent that both federal and State regulated wetlands are present on or adjacent to the site and hydric soils are readily available. Any impacts to regulated wetlands in the future will require a permit and project review by the USACE and NYSDEC. Potential project review and permitting may need to occur if any future work will be located within a NYSDEC regulated wetland or its 100-foot buffer zone. Depending on the acreage of impacts caused by development of the site, wetland or stream mitigation could be required. Mitigation requirements generally are applicable when greater than 0.10-acre of wetland are permanently disturbed. A cultural/historic resource review should be completed on-site prior to any development. A threatened and endangered species habitat assessment should also be completed on site prior to development.

ROADWAY

Adjacent Roadway This proposed site consists of parcels which are adjacent to and divided by the NYS Thruway Network (I-90). Parcels north of I-90 are bordered by NY Route 34 (NY-34) and Trombley Road, while parcels south of I-90 are bordered NY-34 and Dunn Road. NY-34 services north-south flowing traffic and both Trombley Road & Dunn Road run east-west, providing access to the proposed sites. NY-34 north of I-90 is designated as a Minor Rural Arterial, but south of I-90 is considered a Principal Rural Arterial by the NYSDOT. In addition, I-90 as well as NY-34 (south of I-90) are mainlines within the National Highway System.

Traffic Count Data The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) counts as measured in vehicles per day (vpd) from the NYS Department of Transportation are as follows: On NY-34 just south of I-90 the AADT was 11,635 vpd (July 2008).

Distance to Interstate Access to the NYS Thruway (I-90) for eastbound and wesbound travel is adjacent to the site via Highway Network Exit 40 (Weedsport-Auburn- NY Route 34). For northbound and southbound travel, I-81 can be accessed from I-90 in Syracuse, NY at Exit 36 (Watertown-Binghamton-I-81) which is approximately 25 miles east.

Truck Routes Interstate 90 and NY-34 serve as the primary trucking routes. Also, NY-31, which runs parallel to the thruway, offers a toll-free east/west truck route.

Public Transit Stop Near CENTRO offers one weekday bus route (#38) between Weedsport and Syracuse via NY-34 and Site NY-31 which is approximately less than 1 miles south of the site.

RAIL

Freight Rail Service CSX Transportation (CSXT) operates a Class 1 freight railroad network in the Central New Summary York region. Specifically, the Chicago Main Line provides east/west rail services that link Central New York with New York City, Boston and Chicago through the Syracuse Rail Yard. The St. Lawrence Subdivision of the CSXT network provides north/south rail services linking Syracuse to Massena, and ultimately Montreal from the Syracuse Rail Yard. The St. Lawrence Subdivision junctions with the Fulton Subdivision which provides rail services to the Fulton and Oswego areas. CSXT maintains rail yards in Selkirk and Syracuse, intermodal terminals in Syracuse and Buffalo, and TRANSFLOW terminals in Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo, NY.

CNY is also served by the NYS&W rail line, a regional network that provides rail freight service from the Syracuse area along a main line south to Binghamton and the NYC metropolitan area, as well as the Finger Lakes Railway Corporation, a short line rail network that provides freight rail service from the Syracuse area to Western New York and Pennsylvania.

Weedsport Thruway Exit 40 11/12/2013 1:37:13 PM Page 1 of 2 CA-2 T W T E 40 Distance to Rail Siding CSXT operates an east/west rail mainline which runs through the Site. The Site currently is not served by or adjacent to rail siding. The Syracuse Rail Yard and Intermodal Terminal is located 34 miles east from the Park in Syracuse, NY.
