Clay Smith, P.E. Tioga Energy Partners, LLC Box 22222 Albany, NY 12201

Re: Snyder Wells E1 and E1-A Drill Cuttings and Flowback Waste October 1, 2015 Mr. Smith:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding disposal of flow back and production water. Our McKean County Landfill, in Mount Jewitt, PA., can solidify liquid waste, such as these, prior to disposal in the landfill. The McKean County Landfill operates under PADEP permit #100361 which authorizes acceptance and solidification of this type of waste. The waste material must be characterized and approved prior to acceptance at the site.

If you have any questions or require anything further, please contact me. We look forward to working with your company.

Sincerely,

Larry Shilling, VP LF Marketing and Business Development

RE: Concurrence Request – Threatened and Endangered Species Snyder E1A Gas Well – Town of Barton, Tioga County, New York SPEC Project No. 15-097

Dear Ms Doran:

SPEC Consulting, LLC (SPEC) is requesting concurrence from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that the proposed gas well development project at the well pad in Tioga County, New York is not likely to adversely affect the Northern Long-Eared Bat (NLEB) and the Bald Eagle.

Per the USFWS Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS), the NLEB was recently added to the list of threatened species on May 4, 2015 and is known to or is believed to occur in Tioga County (Attachment 1). Per the Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species and Candidate Species in New York (by County) document (revised July 16, 2012), the Bald Eagle was delisted for Tioga County, and “except for occasional transient individuals, no Federally- listed or proposed endangered or threatened species, or candidate species under our jurisdiction are known to exist in these Counties” (Attachment 2). Review of the ECOS site on September 1, 2015 confirmed the delisting of the Bald Eagle (Attachment 3).

The project is located at 233 Hamilton Valley Road, Town of Barton, Tioga County, New York. The location of the subject property and project area (access road and well pad) is identified on Figure 1. The proposed industrial development of the Marcellus natural gas well will involve the construction of a well pad in an approximately 2.0-acre construction area. Once operational, the well pad will occupy 0.25 acres. The remaining 1.75 acres will be reclaimed. The 2.0-acre construction area is in an agricultural area that has been previously disturbed by agricultural activity. The project will improve and utilize the existing farm/landowner access road. Total disturbance acreage during construction will be approximately 3.5 acres (well pad and road). No trees will be removed as part of this project as the site is an existing agricultural field.

SPEC reviewed the USFWS’s ECOS site on September 1, 2015 for a list of species and critical habitat that “may be present” within the project area. The NLEB was the only species to be identified as endangered, threatened, or as a candidate species of concern within Tioga County. As no trees will be removed and construction is in a previously disturbed area, SPEC does not anticipate adverse, significant, or measureable affects to occur. For this reason, SPEC requests USFWS concurrence with SPEC’s determination and to confirm no other listed species may be present within the project area. Ms. Sandra Doran Page 2 SPEC Consulting, LLC – USFWS Concurrence Request September 1, 2015

General Information

The northern long­eared bat is a medium­sized bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. As its name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as compared to other bats in its genus, Myotis, which are actually bats noted for their small ears (Myotis means mouse­ eared). The northern long­eared bat is found across much of the eastern and north central United States and all Canadian provinces from the Atlantic coast west to the southern Northwest Territories and eastern British Columbia. The species’ range includes 37 states. White­nose syndrome, a fungal disease known to affect bats, is currently the predominant threat to this bat, especially throughout the Northeast where the species has declined by up to 99 percent from pre­white­nose syndrome levels at many hibernation sites. Although the disease has not yet spread throughout the northern long­eared bat’s entire range (white­nose syndrome is currently found in at least 25 of 37 states where the northern long­eared bat occurs), it continues to spread. Experts expect that where it spreads, it will have the same impact as seen in the Northeast.

» Life History

Habitat Requirements

During summer, northern long­eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=A0JE 4/5 9/1/2015 Species Profile for Northern long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) crevices of both live and dead trees. Males and non­reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat seems opportunistic in selecting roosts, using tree species based on suitability to retain bark or provide cavities or crevices. It has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds. Northern long­eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula. They typically use large caves or mines with large passages and entrances; constant temperatures; and high humidity with no air currents. Specific areas where they hibernate have very high humidity, so much so that droplets of water are often seen on their fur. Within hibernacula, surveyors find them in small crevices or cracks, often with only the nose and ears visible.

Food Habits

Northern long­eared bats emerge at dusk to fly through the understory of forested hillsides and ridges feeding on moths, flies, leafhoppers, caddisflies, and beetles, which they catch while in flight using echolocation. This bat also feeds by gleaning motionless insects from vegetation and water surfaces.

Reproductive Strategy

Breeding begins in late summer or early fall when males begin swarming near hibernacula. After copulation, females store sperm during hibernation until spring, when they emerge from their hibernacula, ovulate, and the stored sperm fertilizes an egg. This strategy is called delayed fertilization. After fertilization, pregnant females migrate to summer areas where they roost in small colonies and give birth to a single pup. Maternity colonies, with young, generally have 30 to 60 bats, although larger maternity colonies have been observed. Most females within a maternity colony give birth around the same time, which may occur from late May or early June to late July, depending where the colony is located within the species’ range. Young bats start flying by 18 to 21 days after birth. Adult northern long­eared bats can live up to 19 years.

W=winter S=summer - Please note that the Indiana bat may occur in additional counties but we have listed the counties with the greatest likelihood of Indiana bat presence.

1 Except for sea turtle nesting habitat, principal responsibility for these species is vested with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries. Please visit the following website for more information http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/esa.htm.

2 Except for occasional transient individuals, no Federally-listed or proposed endangered or threatened species, or candidate species under our jurisdiction are known to exist in these counties.

3 While Indiana bats were known to winter in Albany County, we now believe they are likely extirpated or in such small numbers that it is unlikely that they would be present and impacted by any specific proposed projects in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Schoharie Counties. This determination may change as we receive new information.

4 Piping plovers are found in Suffolk and Nassau County; however, their early successional habitat is only found at the shoreline, on barrier islands, sandy beaches, and dredged material disposal islands. Please see the fact sheet at http://nyfo.fws.gov/es/PipingPloverFactSheet07.pdf for more information on suitable habitat.

General Information

A large raptor, the bald eagle has a wingspread of about 7 feet. Adults have a dark brown body and wings, white head and tail, and a yellow beak. Juveniles are mostly brown with white mottling on the body, tail, and undersides of wings. Adult plumage usually is obtained by the 6th year. In flight, the bald eagle often soars or glides with the wings held at a right angle to the body.
