Describe any additional structures, access roads, utility lines, fences, easements, or other construction planned for the site.
The proposed 35 Quarry Road cell tower is located on the property at 35 Quarry Road in the Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, New York.
C&S Engineering is proposing to construct a 180 ft tall self-supporting lattice tower and access road. Plans call for the construction of the tower, an equipment shelter, a generator pad, a utility backboard, and propane tank pad which will be located inside a 22.9 m x 22.9 m (75 ft x 75 ft) fenced enclosure. An underground utility line will be constructed along an existing access road, measuring approximately 67 m (220 ft) that will link the pad to Quarry Road.
The construction drawings provided by C&S Engineering are included in this attachment.

Attachment 5. Area of Potential Effects
You are required to provide two attachments regarding the Determination of Effect: Areas of Potential Effect and Mitigation of Effect (if applicable).
Areas of Potential Effect Guidelines:
a. Describe the APE for direct effects and explain how this APE was determined. The APE for direct effects is defined as the area of potential ground disturbance and any property, or any portion thereof that will be physically altered or destroyed by the undertaking. The project consists of the proposed 180 ft tall self-supporting telecommunications tower. The tower and associated facilities will be constructed within a 22.9 m x 22.9 m (75 ft x 75 ft) fenced compound. The project also includes construction of an underground utility line along an existing access road measuring approximately 67 m (220 ft) linking the tower pad with Quarry Road. Total acreage of the project area is approximately 0.1 ha (0.25 acres).
b. Describe the APE for visual effects and explain how this APE was determined. The APE for visual effects is the geographic area in which the Project has the potential to introduce visual elements that diminish or alter the setting, including the landscape, where the setting is a character-defining feature of a historic property that makes it eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The APE for visual effects for construction of new facilities is the area from which the tower will be visible. Due to the height of the proposed undertaking (180 feet), the APE for visual effects for this project is a 0.5-mile radius from the tower site.
______35 QUARRY ROAD PROJECT (Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, NY) July 29, 2020 Page 34
Attachment 5. Continued
Mitigation of Effect Guidelines:
In the case of where an Adverse Visual Effect or Adverse Direct Effect has been determined you must provide the following:
a. Copies of any correspondence and summaries of any oral communication with the SHPO/THPO and any consulting parties. N/A
b. Describe any alternatives that have been considered that might avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects. Explain the Applicant’s conclusion regarding the feasibility of each alternative. N/A
For each property identified as a Historic Property in the online e-106 form:
a. Indicate whether the Applicant believes the proposed undertaking would have a) no effect; b) no adverse effect; or, c) an adverse effect. Explain how each such assessment was made. Provide supporting documentation where necessary.
Based on a review of files that identify Historic Properties in the APE for direct effects, a finding of No Effect is recommended. There are no NRHP-eligible or NRHP-listed architectural resources within the Direct APE. The subject property does not contain NRE structures.
Based on a review of files that identify Historic Properties in the 0.5-mile APE for visual effects, a finding of No Effect on Historic Properties within the Visual APE is recommended. The proposed project, a 180- foot cell tower, does not contain any National Register listed or eligible structures within a 0.5-mile radius.
Please see the Cultural Resources Survey Report in Attachment 7 for supporting documentation.
______35 QUARRY ROAD PROJECT (Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, NY) July 29, 2020 Page 35
Attachment 6. Tribal and NHO Involvement
At an early stage in the planning process, the Nationwide Agreement requires the Applicant to gather information from appropriate Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian Organizations (“NHOs”) to assist in the identification of Historic Properties of religious and cultural significance to them. Describe measures taken to identify Indian tribes and NHOs that may attach religious and cultural significance to Historic Properties that may be affected by the construction within the Areas of Potential Effects (“APE”) for direct and visual effects. If such Indian tribes or NHOs were identified, list them and provide a summary of contacts by either the FCC, the Applicant, or the Applicant’s representative. Provide copies of relevant documents, including correspondence. If no such Indian tribes or NHOs were identified, please explain.
______35 QUARRY ROAD PROJECT (Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, NY) July 29, 2020 Page 36
Attachment 7. Historic Properties Direct Effects
a. List all properties within the APE for direct effects.
No National Register listed, or eligible historic properties are present within the APE for Direct Effects.
b. Provide the name and address (including U.S. Postal Service ZIP Code) of each property in the APE for direct effects, not listed in part “a” (above), that the Applicant considers to be eligible for listing in the National Register as a result of the Applicant’s research. For each such property, describe how it satisfies the criteria of eligibility (36 C.F.R. Part 63). For each property that was specifically considered and determined not to be eligible, describe why it does not satisfy the criteria of eligibility.
N/A
______35 QUARRY ROAD PROJECT (Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, NY) July 29, 2020 Page 37
Attachment 7. Continued
a. Describe the techniques and the methodology, including any field survey, used to identify Historic Properties within the APE for direct effects.1 If no archeological field survey was performed, provide a report substantiating that: i) the depth of previous disturbance exceeds the proposed construction depth (excluding footings and other anchoring mechanisms) by at least 2 feet; or, ii) geomorphological evidence indicates that cultural resource-bearing soils do not occur within the project area or may occur but at depths that exceed 2 feet below the proposed construction depth.2
Archaeologists from the Public Archaeology Facility conducted a Phase 1 archaeological survey of the direct APE on July 21, 2020. This survey complies with the New York State Standards for Professional Cultural Resource Investigations, and the Archaeological Field Work and Reporting Requirements for Cell Towers and Other Section 106, NHPA Projects by the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma. Archaeologists conducted a walkover of the entire parcel. The purpose of the walkover was to identify any existing cultural features, determine if there has been any prior ground disturbance, and assess suitability for subsurface testing.
Based on the information gathered, no previously-identified archaeological sites are located within the proposed direct APE. No shovel test pits (STPs) were excavated, as the entire project area had been previously quarried into the bedrock. No precontact or historic artifacts were recovered and no sites were identified.
Please refer to the Phase 1 archaeological survey report in Attachment 7 for further information.
1 Pursuant to Section VI.D.2.a. of the Nationwide Agreement, Applicants shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to identify above ground and archeological Historic Properties, including buildings, structures, and historic districts, that lie within the APE for direct effects. Such reasonable and good faith efforts may include a field survey where appropriate. 2 Under Section VI.D.2.d. of the Nationwide Agreement, an archeological field survey is required even if none of these conditions applies, if an Indian tribe or NHO provides evidence that supports a high probability of the presence of intact archeological Historic Properties within the APE for direct effects. ______35 QUARRY ROAD PROJECT (Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, NY) July 29, 2020 Page 38

I. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a Phase 1 cultural resource survey conducted by the Public Archaeology Facility (PAF) for the proposed Ulster County Cell Tower Project at 35 Quarry Road, in the Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, New York. The project calls for the installation of a 54.9 m (180 ft) high self-supporting cell tower, an equipment shelter, a generator, and propane tank pad within a 22.9 m x 22.9 m (75 ft x 75 ft) fenced area. In addition to the cell tower compound, an underground utility line will parallel an existing access road to Quarry Road, for a distance of approximately 67 m (220 ft). This report summarizes the Phase 1 cultural resource survey of the area of potential effect (APE), totaling 0.1 ha (0.25 ac) (see Appendix II and Appendix III).
The fieldwork summarized in this document was performed under the supervision of Dr. Laurie Miroff, Director of the Public Archaeology Facility, Binghamton University. Dr. Claire Horn served as project director and author of this report. Josh Anderson served as field director, and Tracy Hanna as field assistant. Anderson created the project maps. Maria Pezzuti performed all related administrative duties. In compliance with the Standards for Cultural Resource Investigations in New York State (1994) and the National Park Service's Criteria and Procedures for the Identification of Historic Properties (2000), the area within the project limits is considered the area of impact for the purpose of conducting the survey. The results of the research performed for this report do not apply to any territory outside the project area.

III. BACKGROUND RESEARCH
3.1 Environmental Context
The APE is situated in northern Ulster County and falls within the Hudson Lowland area of the Valley and Ridge geographic province (USDA 1979). The APE is located on a mostly wooded ridgetop. The pad is located at the top of a ridge to the west of the Hudson River. The nearest body of water is an unnamed pond located approximately 110 m (361 ft) to the northeast of the project area. The pond may be a ridgetop depression or may be a remnant of 19th century quarrying. The nearest flowing body of water is an unnamed creek located 1.15 km (0.7 mi) to the north. This creek drains into the Beaver Kill 2.3 km (1.4 mi) to the northeast, which in turn drains into Kaaterskill Creek 3.0 km (1.9 mi) further northeast. Kaaterskill Creek drains into Catskill Creek just west of the Village of Catskill, and Catskill Creek then drains into the Hudson River, 14.2 km (8.8 mi) to the northeast of the APE. The elevation of the APE ranges from 122 m (400 ft) to 125 m (410 ft) ASL (Figure 2).
Soil maps show no soil type for the project area, but rather show quarried land. The soil type to the east and west of the project area is depicted as Lordstown-Arnot rock outcrop, which may have been the soil type within the project area before quarrying activities removed the soil (Table 1, below; Figure 4). Only recently deposited (post-quarrying) soils are predicted for the project area, with no potential for cultural resources.

3.2 Site Files Summary
A site files check conducted at the Public Archaeology Facility (PAF) and using the Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) of the New York Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPR&HP) showed six known archaeological sites within 3.2 km (2 mi) of the APE. Five of the six date to the precontact period, none with a cultural affiliation. The Plattekill Oxbow site and Reinhart T site consist of lithic debitage. The remaining three precontact sites are listed on the CRIS database as Museum Sites or Museum Areas. The Saugerties site (Museum Site 509) was excavated by members of the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association, and is described as a rockshelter and possible quarry site. Museum Site 510 is simply listed as a rockshelter. Museum Area 5036 was recorded by Arthur C. Parker (1922) as a burial site. The single historic period site is listed as a possible mill site. There are no National Register Listed or Eligible structures located within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of the APE.

3.3 Precontact Context
The precontact period of New York State and the Northeast was characterized by two broad subsistence patterns, both of which influenced settlement and land use patterns, as well as material culture. The first, designated as the pre- agricultural hunter-gatherer, began with the arrival of highly mobile groups during the Paleoindian and Early-Middle Archaic periods around 10,000-4000 B.C. Mobility was an important adaptation, as these groups relied on gathered plants, game animals, and fish for their subsistence. These groups often followed herds of animals, or migrated from one resource-rich landform (e.g., upland wetlands) to another. Starting in the Late Archaic period and extending through the Middle Woodland (4000 B.C. to A.D. 900), hunter-gatherers became seasonally nomadic. People created relatively large base camps in major river or lake valleys, from which daily foragers would radiate outward in search of local resources. During seasons of resource dispersal, the camps would break up into smaller, more mobile units capable of foraging for themselves. Sites associated with hunter-gatherers include the short-term camps and resource processing stations used by the early nomads, as well as larger base camps and lithic scatters associated with the daily foragers of the seasonally nomadic groups.
Precontact landuse throughout the Late Archaic, Transitional, Early Woodland, and early portions of the Middle Woodland phases of the pre-agricultural period was based on a logistically organized system where seasonal base camps were established in major river valleys and confluences (Versaggi 1996). This type of logistical organization, along with seasonal aggregation and dispersal, created a variety of site types ranging from large residential camps to small special purpose camps, to resource procurement/processing locations (Versaggi 1996). Prior to the Late Archaic, the limited number of precontact groups in central New York foraged on an irregular basis, following the migration of animal herds and flocks, or moving from dispersed resource-rich landforms, such as upland wetlands. Seasonal occupation of camps was likely a major aspect of this period (Funk 1976).
It was during the late Middle Woodland that the population of the Northeast began to expand and some of the settlement patterns characteristic of the Late Woodland began to emerge. Late Woodland cultures are characterized by the adoption of horticulture based on maize, beans, and squash, and the development of villages occupied year round.
Precontact Sensitivity Assessment
Research by Versaggi (1996) has identified base-line models of precontact hunter-gatherer settlement, and defined a set of site types that can be employed in an assessment of project sensitivity. Versaggi’s analysis identified four site groupings: base camps, single-task field camps, multi-task field camps, and resource-processing stations.
Single-task field camps are typically smaller size occupations that contain large numbers of artifacts and specialized tools. Bifacial reduction debitage is prominent as bifacial tool-kits are replaced and maintained. Single-task temporary camps appear to have been occupied by few people for a short duration, and there may have been little need to organize and divide space. Fewer spatial clusters would result and these would tend to be similar in composition, reflecting a focus on a single or limited range of tasks.
Multi-task field camps are typically smaller size occupations that contain lower numbers of artifacts and tools. These sites resemble forager-like camps in which the occupants moved frequently in pursuit of low density and dispersed resources. Multi-task camps occur in a wide variety of contexts. Some were widely scattered within the valleys of major and secondary drainages, and others were mapped onto specific resource patches in the uplands.
Resource procurement/processing locations and encounter-like hunting/butchering stations are small occupations with very low numbers of artifacts, tools, and spatial clusters. Expedient flake production and use characterize these small lithic sites. Generally, these sites are expected within the daily foraging radius around a camp or village, as well as around dispersed single- and multi-task camps.
Long-term residential sites (base camps and villages) are large sites with high frequencies of artifacts, tools, features (e.g., hearths and pits), and spatial clusters. Base camps were typically located at confluences of creeks with major rivers near winter deer aggregation areas and dense spring fish runs, and in valleys with stable and fertile alluvial soils.
Based on regional precontact history and the landforms within the project area, the proposed construction is situated in an area of low sensitivity for precontact and historic Native American archaeological sites. The presence of a large base
18
camp or village is unlikely. There are no small nearby tributaries that would have made the area attractive for small-scale, ephemeral activities including resource procurement and processing locales.
3.4 Historic Context
The Town of Ulster was established from part of the Town of Kingston in 1811. In 1855, the town’s name was changed to Saugerties (Brink 1902; Child 1871). The Hudson River Valley was settled by the Dutch during the early 17th century. While control transferred to the English in 1664, Dutch influence remained strong in the valley, as seen in many local place names of Dutch origin (e.g., Beaverkill, Plattekill, Kaaterskill). Starting in the 1830s, quarrying of limestone and bluestone became important industries within the Town of Saugerties (Brink 1902:296). The bluestone quarried from the hills in central and western Ulster County was used as sidewalks and curbs in towns along the eastern seaboard, as well as in fieldstone walls and foundations more locally (Child 1871). Over time, cement came to be used more often than bluestone, and the industry declined in Ulster County (Park 2013).
In the 19th century, quarrying of blue stone was the chief industry in the vicinity of the aptly-named Quarryville (the hamlet just to the south of the current project area). Hamilton Child (1871) notes that at the time of his writing, approximately $600,000 of stone was exported annually from the vicinity. Today, the area remains largely rural, with commercial enterprises along NY Rte 32. The remains of a commercial or industrial building (concrete pad with rusted metal panels) lie to the south of the APE (see Photo 13, p. 16).
Historic Sensitivity Assessment
The available historic maps were analyzed to determine the potential for encountering historic cultural resources and map documented structures (MDSs) in the APE. This area of the Town of Saugerties was part of an extensive series of bluestone quarries in Ulster County, and is today a mix of woods, scrubby plant growth, and bare rock. The hamlet of Quarryville is located approximately 0.75 km (0.47 mi) to the south. The Village of Saugerties is located approximately 6.2 km (3.9 mi) to the southeast. The site files search identified one historic period site, a possible mill along the Beaver Kill (see Table 2, p. 17). The lack of map documented structures (MDSs) or historic standing structures within the APE suggests a low probability for historic period sites.

IV. METHODOLOGY
4.1 Project Walkover
A walkover of the project area was conducted on July 21, 2020 by Anderson and Hanna to determine the extent of ground disturbance, assess suitability for subsurface testing, and to identify any existing cultural features. The APE consists mainly of bare rock, with some scrubby vegetation and scattered trees. The project area has previously been quarried into the bedrock. Ground visibility was excellent. No cultural remains were visible within the project area. Due to the lack of intact soils, no subsurface testing was conducted.
4.2 General Laboratory Methods
All of the notes, and other documentation of the reconnaissance testing are curated according to federal (36 CFR Part 79) and state guidelines (NYAC 1994) in the facilities of the Department of Anthropology at Binghamton University.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY RESULTS
5.1 Direct Impact Area
Direct impacts include the construction of a 180 ft (54.9 m) tall self-supporting tower, an equipment shelter, a generator pad, a utility backboard, and a propane tank pad, all of which will be located inside a 22.9 m x 22.9 m (75 ft x 75 ft) fenced enclosure. An underground utility line will be constructed along an existing access road, measuring approximately 67 m (220 ft) to link the pad to Quarry Road. The project walkover confirmed the soil survey designation of quarried land. Remains of a modern commercial or industrial building (concrete pad with rusted metal panels) are to the south of the APE (see Photo 13, p. 16). No cultural material was identified within the project area.
5.2 Visual Impact Area
No National Register Listed or Eligible (NRL or NRE) properties are located within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of the proposed 180 ft tall tower.
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
The Public Archaeology Facility conducted cultural resource investigations in compliance with the Section 106 procedures for FCC projects.
6.1 Direct APE
Phase 1 survey within the direct APE found no evidence of cultural resources (archaeological sites or standing historic structures) that would be adversely affected by the construction of the 35 Quarry Road cell tower. After conducting a walkover of the project area, field crews found no intact soils in the formerly quarried project area. No excavations were conducted. No archaeological sites were designated. We recommend that the project will not impact cultural resources within the direct APE. No further archaeological work is recommended within the direct APE.
6.2 Visual APE
There are no National Register Listed or Eligible (NRL or NRE) properties located within 0.8 km (0.5 mi) of the proposed 180 ft tall cell tower. We recommend that the proposed project will not impact any historic architectural resources within the visual APE.
