Background and Document Organization This is a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) issued by the Town of Windham Planning Board, the Lead Agency, in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) also known as the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and implementing regulations (6 NYCRR Part 617). The proposed action that is the subject of this FEIS is the construction and operation of a residential sporting club known as the Windham Mountain Sporting Club in the Town of Windham, Greene County, New York. This FEIS consists of two parts. The first part of this document is the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and accompanying appendices and drawings/plans that were accepted as complete by the Windham Planning Board as Lead Agency on March 1, 2012. This FEIS incorporates the DEIS by reference. The second part is this FEIS document that addresses the issues raised during the DEIS public comment period as well as comment letters submitted to the Lead Agency after the close of the public comment period. Together the DEIS and FEIS constitute the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The SEQRA process is structured to allow examination of all relevant environmental issues by technical experts, agencies, and the public in order that the lead agency and other involved agencies may make reasoned and informed decisions. This FEIS has been prepared by the Lead Agency, with assistance from the Lead Agency’s technical consultants, the Applicant, and their consultants in order to carefully analyze comments and take a hard look at potential environmental impacts and proposed measures to mitigate such impacts. The FEIS provides additional information regarding existing environmental conditions, potential environmental impacts, and measures proposed to mitigate the potential impacts that were identified. The following section of this document, Errata, presents summaries of some of the topics for which revised information is provided in the FEIS, including: 1. Steep Slope Disturbance and Sediment and Erosion Control 2. Stormwater Management 3. Hydrogeology 4. Blasting/Noise 5. ARB Guidelines 6. Visual Impact Assessment 7. Recreation Demands 8. Water and Sewer 9. Traffic 10. Socioeconomics Windham Mountain Sporting Club FEIS Executive Summary i The Errata section also includes revised technical reports, revised project plans and revised EIS figures and tables.

Just two hours from New York City, Windham offers the second home owners who make spending their weekends here part of their routine; not just an escape from their weekday lifestyle, but an entirely different life! In Windham there’s a feeling of wild possibility, an energy that pervades the charming village and reaches out into the mountains that surround it. It’s a place that draws buyers from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and it’s also a place lacking enough middle-market housing inventory to meet demand. 1 Cammer Road in Windham offers investors and builders a chance to answer that demand. With up-to-date plans and approvals in place for a 10 home development this 5.72 acre parcel is an opportunity tailored to the moment. 4 SHOVEL-READY 1 Cammer Road, Windham offers a unique investment opportunity. The current landholders spent years planning and gaining the approvals to develop this 5.72 acre parcel that’s perfectly located just outside the Village of Windham. Sited with a shared lot line with Windham Country Club and surrounded by gorgeous views of the Catskill Mountains including Windham Mountain, home of Ski Windham, it’s at the epicenter of Upstate adventure. Seize the moment, and take advantage of this rare chance to skip years of tedious legwork it takes to prepare for groundbreaking and build in an immensely popular location and unprecedented market.

    Appendix 1 Comments Received During the Public Comment Period Delaware Engineering, P.C. Memo To: Town of Windham Planning Board From: Mary Beth Bianconi CC: Kevin Franke, The LA Group; File Date: April 30, 2012 Re: Comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Windham Mountain Sporting Club Delaware Engineering, P.C. has completed a review of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Windham Mountain Sporting Club on behalf of the Town of Windham Planning Board. This memo provides comments generated through review of the DEIS by a staff of licensed engineers as well as specialists trained in the fields of architecture, biology, geology, stormwater, and land use planning. Where referenced, “FEIS” means Final Environmental Impact Statement which is anticipated to the response to these comments as well as those provided by other agencies and the public. Comments are provided by section and/or topic. Section 1 – Purpose, Need and Benefits Review of Section 1 of the DEIS for WMSC resulted in the following comments: 1. Page 1 – 3. A discussion of the rationale as to why Batavia Lane and the four single family units are incorporated as part of Phase 2 and not part of Phase 1. 2. Page 1 – 6. The DEIS lists the various goals of the Town of Windham Comprehensive Plan and describes the means in which the WMSC project achieves these goals, in the opinion of the project sponsor. One such goal is the provision of community facilities. The DEIS states that the provision of community facilities is not z Page 1 28 Madison Avenue Extension, Albany, NY 12203 518-452-1290 FAX 518-452-1335 a responsibility of a private development, but that the Town can utilize the tax revenue generated from the development to provide enhanced community facilities if desired.
