1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared to comply with the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Phase II Stormwater Regulations, and
the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges
from Construction Activities, Permit No. GP-0-20-001, herein referred to as the "General Permit." It
has been prepared in accordance with the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual
(SMDM), dated January 2015 and the requirements of the City of Saratoga Springs (the MS4).
The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify and detail stormwater management, pollution
prevention, and erosion and sediment control measures necessary before, during and following
completion of construction.
The nature of the Project (single-family residential subdivision) with soil disturbances of more than
one (1) acre but less than five (5) acres, and less than 25%of impervious cover at full build-out, results
in the Project requiring preparation of a "Basic SWPPP" including only erosion and sediment controls,
pursuant to Appendix B of the General Permit.
1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project (herein referred to as "The
Project") involves the subdivision of three (3) existing tax parcels totaling 11.74± acres within
the City of Saratoga Springs and the Town of Wilton into five (5) building lots (one existing
developed lot to remain, and four new building lots). The Project area has frontage along
Louden Road and Bog Meadow Run. A site location map has been provided in Section 3.1 for
reference.
The Project area consists of one existing residence, garage, and driveway, and undeveloped
woodlands. The existing residence is serviced by well and septic. The proposed building lots
will also be served by wells and septics. The portion of the Project located within the City of
Saratoga Springs resides within the "Rural Residential" zoning district. As such, the Project
has been designed in accordance with the City's conservation subdivision regulations. After
development of the Project, all proposed homes will be located within the Saratoga Springs
municipal boundary.
The nature of the site's existing hydrology and soil characteristics results in high amounts of
infiltration and virtually no off-site stormwater discharges. After development of the Project,
existing drainage patterns will be maintained, and there will be no increase in post-
construction stormwater runoff. The site has two existing "low areas" that collect and
effectively infiltrate stormwater runoff. As such, no post-construction stormwater controls
are required.
Land disturbances associated with the Project equal approximately 2.75± acres.

3.2 LAND USE AND TOPOGRAPHY
The Project area is located within a predominantly residential area. It consists of an existing
residence and undeveloped woodlands.
Site topography generally consists of areas of higher elevation to the north and areas of lower
elevation to the south. A gently shaped ridge line exists that bisects the northern half of the
property and the southern half. Site slopes are generally between 0% to 5%, with slopes up
to nearly 25% along portions of the ridge line.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR

3.3 SOIL DATA AND GROUNDWATER
Review of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey indicated the
Project area consists of Windsor loamy sand and Deerfield loamy fine sand soil types, having
Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) ratings of "A." A copy of the soil survey has been provided in
Appendix D.
The NRCS defines the HSG qualities as follows:
• Tvpe A Soils: Soils having a high infiltration rate and low runoff potential when
thoroughly wet. These soils consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a moderate rate of water
transmission.
On-site soil testing was performed to validate the results of the soil survey and to identify
subsurface soil conditions. The testing was performed September 26, 2019, and indicated
consistent loamy fine sand, with rapid infiltrative capacity, and no evidence of a subsurface
boundary condition. The test pits were performed throughout the Project area and indicated
consistent soil profiles from the bottom of the topsoil layer to the bottom of the test pit, for
each test pit excavated. As such, subsurface soil conditions throughout the Project area are
expected to remain similar.
Infiltration tests were performed within the footprint of the existing depressions to measure
their infiltrative capacity. The results of these tests are summarized below:
Test ID Depth Stabilized Rate (per 1" drop)
PT-3 24" 1:30 (min:sec) 40.0 (in/hr)
PT-4 24" 1:05 55.4
The results of the soil testing are provided in Appendix D.

3.4 WATERSHED DESIGNATION
The site is not located in a restricted watershed identified in Appendix C of the General
Permit.
3.5 RECEIVING WATER BODIES
The site is self-contained and does not produce off-site surface runoff. All runoff is infiltrated
and recharges the groundwater supply.
3.6 AQUIFERS
The Project is not located over a US EPA designated Sole Source Aquifer (SSA). The Project is
located over a Principal Aquifer as listed in the NYSDEC Technical and Operational Guidance
Series (TOGS) 2.1.3 (1980).
This project will be designed to ensure that there is no adverse effect on any active sources
of water or to the quality of the ground water. A vertical separation of at least three (3) feet
will be provided between the bottom of any stormwater practice and the field-measured
Seasonally High Water Table (SHWT). Copies of NYS Aquifer mapping are provided in
Appendix D.
3.7 WETLANDS
The potential for wetlands existing on or adjacent to the project area was investigated
through online mapping resources and a site walk. The findings from the site walk indicated
no wetlands were present within or adjacent to the project area. This conclusion was
consistent with the results from review of the available online wetland mapping resources,
which is presented, below.
3.7.1 Tidal Wetlands
There are no tidal wetlands located within the project area.
3.7.2 State Jurisdictional Wetlands (Article 24)
There are no NYSDEC freshwater wetlands located within the project area.
3.7.3 Federal Jurisdictional Wetlands (Article 404)
There are no federal jurisdictional wetlands located within the project area.

3.8 LISTED, ENDANGERED, OR THREATENED SPECIES
A determination request was sent to the New York State Natural Heritage Program and to the
US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to evaluate the Project's potential to impact a listed,
endangered, or threatened species or critical habitat. The Natural Heritage Program issued
a determination letter for the Project indicating the potential presence of the Karner Blue
Butterfly and Frosted Elfin. The USFWS issued a determination that identified the potential
presence of the Northern Long-eared Bat and the Karner Blue Butterfly.
A site visit was conducted in October 2019 to assess the site for the potentially identified
species. The results of the site visit indicated no habitat existed to support the Karner Blue
Butterfly or Frosted Elfin, and no evidence was found of their presence on site. The site visit
found some potential summer roosting locations suitable to the Northern long-earned bat.
As a result,these locations were identified in the field, and impacts to them will be conducted
in accordance with standard NYSDEC and USFWS directives. Refer to Appendix D for more
information.
3.9 CULTURALAND HISTORIC RESOURCES
A determination request was sent to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation (NYS OPRHP) to evaluate the Project's potential to impact cultural or
historic resources. NYS OPRHP issued a "No Effect" letter for the Project indicating there will
be no impact on archaeological and/or historic resources listed in or eligible for the New York
State and National Registers of Historic Places. A copy of this letter is included in Appendix
D.

The Contractor will be responsible for implementing and maintaining the erosion and sediment
control measures identified on the Plans. The Contractor may designate these tasks to certain
subcontractors as he sees fit, but the ultimate responsibility for implementing these controls and
ensuring their proper function remains with the Contractor.
It is not anticipated that more than five acres of land would need to be disturbed at once for the
development of this Project. If the Contractor's construction sequence requires the disturbance of
more than five acres at any one time, written approval must be obtained from the MS4 and/or
NYSDEC prior to disturbing more than five acres at once. The Notice to Disturb Greater than Five (5)
Acres of Soil form has been provided in Appendix G for use by the Contractor, if needed.
Refer to the accompanying plans for details and specifications regarding the construction sequencing
schedule.

5.0 CONSTRUCTION-PHASE POLLUTION CONTROL
Stormwater runoff from developing areas can result in off-site problems including erosion and water
quality degradation due to sedimentation and other non-point source pollutants. These impacts are
greatest during construction periods when soils are without any vegetative cover. The General
Permit references the NYSDEC's New York State Standards for Erosion and Sediment Control
(NYSSESC) as the required guidelines for design.
During construction, temporary erosion control measures (designed to minimize soil loss), and
sediment control measures (intended to retain eroded soil and prevent it from reaching water bodies
or adjoining properties), shall comply with the NYSSESC and may include, but not be limited to, silt
fencing, temporary seeding, temporary swales, check dams, erosion control fabric and catch basin
inlet protection. These measures shall be implemented per the criteria presented in Project Plans
and the NYSSESC. By reference,these guidelines will be made an integral part of the SWPPP prepared
for the Project.
After construction, permanent erosion and sediment control measures to be implemented may
include, but not be limited to, establishment of a ground cover in areas not scheduled to be paved,
soil restoration, turf reinforcement, stabilized stormwater conveyances, and catch basins.
Construction details and locations of these measures are shown on the Project site plans.
Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures that shall be applied during
construction generally include:
1. Establishing permanent, stabilized traffic corridors and avoiding "routes of convenience."
2. Minimizing soil erosion and sedimentation by stabilization of disturbed areas, and removal of
sediments from construction site discharges.
3. Preservation of existing vegetation as much as possible.
4. Planning site preparation activities to minimize the magnitude and duration of soil disruption.
5.1 TEMPORARY EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES
The temporary erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections
are an integral component of this SWPPP.
5.1.1 Stabilized Construction Entrance
Prior to construction activities commencing at the site, a stabilized construction
entrance shall be installed at all proposed vehicle traffic entrance and exit points.
Construction traffic must only enter and exit the site by way of a stabilized
construction entrance. The intent is to trap dust and mud that may otherwise be
tracked off-site by construction traffic.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
15
Each entrance shall be maintained in a condition which will control tracking of
sediment off-site. When necessary, the placement of additional aggregate atop the
filter fabric shall be done to assure the minimum thickness is maintained. All
sediments and soils spilled, dropped, or washed off-site onto public rights-of-way or
private property must be removed immediately. Periodic inspection and any
necessary maintenance shall be provided after each substantial rainfall event.
5.1.2 Dust Control
Water trucks shall be used as needed during construction to reduce dust generated
on the site. Dust control must be provided by the Contractor to a degree that is
acceptable to the Owner/Operator, and in compliance with the applicable local and
state dust control requirements.
5.1.3 Temporary Soil Stockpile
Erodible materials, such as topsoil or soil, shall be temporarily stockpiled (if necessary)
on-site during construction. Stockpiles shall be located in an area away from storm
drainage, water bodies and/or drainage courses, and shall be properly protected from
erosion by a surrounding silt fence barrier (or similar device) and a mulch layer (if it is
a soil-based material).
5.1.4 Silt Fencing
Prior to the initiation of and during construction activities, a geotextile filter fabric (or
silt fence) shall be established along the down slope perimeter of all erodible pervious
areas disturbed as a result of construction which lie up-gradient of watercourses,
catch basins (stormwater inlets), or adjacent properties.
Silt fencing shall be installed in such a way to minimize clearing and grubbing impacts
to the maximum extent practicable. To facilitate effectiveness of the silt fencing, daily
inspections and inspections immediately after significant storm events will be
performed by site personnel. Maintenance of the fence will be performed as needed.
5.1.5 Temporary Seeding
Areas undergoing clearing or grading and any areas disturbed by construction
activities where work has temporarily or permanently ceased, shall be stabilized with
temporary vegetative cover within seven (7) days from the date the soil disturbance
activity ceased. Temporary seed mixtures to be used are included in the Project Plans.

FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
16
5.1.6 Stone Inlet Protection Barrier
Concrete blocks surrounded by wire mesh and crushed stone shall be placed around
both existing catch basins and proposed catch basins once they have been installed,
to keep sediment from entering the catch basins and storm sewer system.
During construction, crushed stone shall be replaced as necessary to ensure proper
function of the structure.
5.1.7 Erosion Control Blanket
Erosion control blankets shall be installed on all disturbed or proposed slopes
exceeding 3H:1V. Erosion control blankets provide temporary erosion protection,
rapid vegetative establishment, and long-term erosion resistance to shear stresses
associated with high runoff flow velocities associated with steep slopes.
5.1.8 Stone Check Dams
Stone check dams shall be installed within drainage swales to reduce the velocity of
stormwater runoff, to promote settling of sediment, and to reduce sediment
transport off-site.
Sediment accumulated behind stone check dams must be removed as needed to
ensure runoff filtrates through the stone check dam, and prevents larger flows from
transporting sediment over or around the dam.
Stones shall be replaced as needed to maintain the design cross section of the
structures.
5.1.9 Temporary Sediment Trap
Temporary sediment traps, where required, shall be constructed to intercept
sediment-laden runoff and reduce the amount of sediment leaving the disturbed
areas and to protect drainage ways, properties, and rights-of-way.
Accumulated sediment shall be removed from the trap when it reaches 50 percent of
the design capacity. Temporary sediment traps shall be designed to provide 3,600 cf.
of storage per acre of tributary watershed.
5.1.10 Temporary Diversion Swales
Temporary diversion swales shall be used to divert off-site runoff around the
construction site, divert runoff from stabilized areas around disturbed areas, and
direct runoff from disturbed areas into sediment traps.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
1�
5.1.11 Dewatering Operations
Dewatering shall be used where mentioned on the Project Plans and as necessary
based upon actual field conditions. It shall be used to intercept sediment-laden
stormwater or pumped groundwater, and allowed adequate settling or filtration prior
to being discharged off-site. Water from dewatering operations shall be treated to
eliminate the discharge of sediment and other pollutants. Water resulting from
dewatering operations shall be directed to temporary sediment traps, or dewatering
devices. Temporary sediment traps and dewatering devices shall be provided,
installed and maintained to effectively control sediment deposits.
5.2 PERMANENT EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES
The permanent erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections
are an integral component of this SWPPP.
5.2.1 Establishment of Permanent Vegetation
All areas having achieved final grade must be seeded and mulched within seven (7)
days after completion of the major construction activity.
Final site stabilization is achieved when all soil-disturbing activities at the site have
been completed and a uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80
percent has been established or equivalent stabilization measures (such as the use of
mulches or geotextiles) have been employed on all unpaved areas and areas not
covered by permanent structures.
Disturbed areas to be permanently vegetated must be seeded in accordance with the
Project Plans. The type of seed, mulch, and maintenance measures described in the
Project Plans shall be followed.
5.2.2 Soil Restoration
Soil Restoration is a required practice applied across areas of a development site
where soils have been disturbed and will be vegetated in order to recover the original
properties and porosity of the soil.
The Contractor shall implement soil restoration practices in accordance with NYSDEC
requirements and Table 5.3, below.

5.2.3 Rock Outlet Protection
Rock outlet protection shall be installed at the locations indicated and detailed on the
Project Plans.The installation of rock outlet protection will reduce the depth,velocity,
and energy of water, such that the flow will not erode the receiving watercourse or
water body.
Stones shall be replaced as needed to maintain the designed dimensions of the
structures.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION

5.2.4 Permanent Turf Reinforcement
Permanent turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) provide long-term erosion protection and
vegetation establishment assistance while permanently reinforcing vegetation. TRMs
shall be installed where specified on the Project Plans and as required.
TRMs provide two key advantages:
• The unique 3-D pattern creates a thick matrix of voids that trap soil, seed and
water in place for quicker, thicker vegetation growth.
• TRMs increase vegetation's natural erosion protection abilities by
permanently anchoring mature plants to the soil for superior, longer-term
erosion resistance.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES
During the construction phase, the Contractor must implement the following housekeeping
practices:
5.3.1 Material Stockpiles
Material resulting from the clearing and grubbing operation shall be stockpiled up
slope from adequate sedimentation controls.
5.3.2 Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance
The Contractor shall designate areas and procedures for equipment cleaning,
maintenance, and repair. The Contractor and subcontractors shall utilize these
specific locations for all equipment cleaning and maintenance. Provisions such as
temporary perimeter berms or other suitable barriers must be in place preventing the
discharge of any wash material.
5.3.3 Solvents and Detergents
The use of solvents and detergents for large-scale washing is prohibited (i.e., vehicles,
equipment, buildings, pavement surfaces, etc.)
5.3.4 Spill Prevention and Response
A Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall be developed for the site bythe Contractor.
The plan shall detail the steps needed to be followed in the event of an accidental spill
and shall identify contact names and phone numbers of people and agencies that
must be notified.
The plan shall include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)for all materials to be stored
on-site. All workers on-site will be required to be trained on safe handling and spill
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
2�
prevention procedures for all materials used during construction. Regular tailgate
safety meetings shall be held and all workers that are expected on the site during the
week shall be required to attend.
Manufacturer's recommended methods for materials handling shall be followed at all
times. The Manufacturer's recommended methods for spill cleanup shall be posted
in a prominent location, and site personnel shall be made aware of the procedures
and locations of cleanup supplies. Any spill in excess or suspected to be in excess of
two gallons must be reported to the NYSDEC Regional Spill Response Unit.
Notification to the NYSDEC must be completed within two (2) hours of the discovery
of the spill.
5.3.5 Concrete Wash Areas
All concrete truck wash out of surplus concrete or wash water shall occur only within
specifically designated wash out areas. Such areas must be clearly marked with
signage designating the "Concrete Wash Area," and be prepared in a way to prevent
concrete wash water from flowing into drainage ways, inlets, receiving waters or off-
site. Concrete Wash Areas should be located at minimum 100 feet from drainage
ways, inlets and surface waters.
The hardened residue from the Concrete Wash Areas shall be disposed of in the same
manner as other non-hazardous construction waste materials. Maintenance of the
wash area is to include removal of hardened concrete and wash water whenever it is
75% full. The facility shall only be used if it has sufficient volume to contain all the
concrete waste resulting from washout and maintain a minimum freeboard of 12
inches.
It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure all concrete wash areas are located in
areas where the likelihood of contaminating stormwater is minimized. The
Contractor shall maintain all concrete wash areas, and implement additional BMPs as
necessary to ensure concrete wastes do not contribute to stormwater discharges.
5.3.6 Material Storage
Construction materials shall be stored in a dedicated staging area. The staging area
shall be located in an area that minimizes the impacts of the construction materials
effecting stormwater quality.
Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, and other toxic material must be stored in
waterproof containers. Except during application,the contents must be kept in trucks
or within storage facilities. Runoff containing such material must be collected,
removed from the site, treated, and disposed of at an approved solid waste or
chemical disposal facility.

FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
21
5.4 OTHER POLLUTANT CONTROLS
Control of sediments has been described previously. Other aspects of this SWPPP are listed
below:
5.4.1 Solid and Liquid Waste Disposal
No solid or liquid waste materials, including building materials, shall be discharged
from the site with stormwater. All solid waste, including disposable materials
incidental to any construction activities, must be collected and placed in containers.
The containers shall be emptied periodically by a licensed trash disposal service and
hauled away from the site.
Substances that have the potential for polluting surface and/or groundwater must be
controlled by whatever means necessary in order to ensure that they do not discharge
from the site. As an example,special care must be exercised during equipment fueling
and servicing operations. If a spill occurs, it must be contained and disposed of so that
it will not flow from the site or enter groundwater, even if this requires removal,
treatment, and disposal of soil. In this regard, potentially polluting substances should
be handled in a manner consistent with the impact they represent.
5.4.2 Sanitary Facilities
Temporary sanitary facilities shall be provided by the Contractor throughout the
construction phase. They must be utilized by all construction personnel and be
serviced regularly. These facilities must comply with state and local sanitary or septic
system regulations.

6.0 POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The Project requires preparation of a "Basic SWPPP" including construction phase pollution and
erosion and sediment controls, only. Therefore, post-construction stormwater management
controls are not required.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
23
7.0 INSPECTIONS AND REPORTING
7.1 PRE-CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION
After the Contractor has installed all necessary erosion and sediment control measures, and
prior to the commencement of construction,the SWPPP Preparer or Qualified Inspector shall
conduct an assessment of the site and certify that the appropriate erosion and sediment
control measures have been adequately installed and implemented.
7.2 CONSTRUCTION-PHASE INSPECTIONS
The purpose of site inspections is to ensure the best management practices identified in the
SWPPP are being correctly implemented and performing effectively. Based on these
inspections, it may be deemed necessary to modify the SWPPP in order to prevent pollutants
from leaving the site via stormwater runoff.
The Qualified Inspector is not required to conduct construction-phase site inspections for
this project.
The Contractor shall have the "Trained Contractor" inspect the erosion and sediment control
practices and pollution prevention measures being implemented within the active work area
daily to ensure that they are being maintained in effective operating conditions at all times.
Written documentation of all inspections and repair/maintenance activities performed must
be retained in the Site Log Book. All inspection reports must be completed, and include
whether the site was in compliance with the SWPPP at the time of inspection, and specifically
identify any incidents of non-compliance or corrected actions taken since the last inspection.
Within one (1) business day of the completion of an inspection, the Qualified Inspector or
"Trained Contractor" shall notify the Owner/Operator and Contractor (or appropriate
subcontractor) of any corrective actions that need to be taken. The Contractor (or
appropriate subcontractor) shall begin implementing corrective actions within one (1)
business day of this notification and shall complete the corrective actions in a reasonable
time frame.
It is the responsibility of the Contractor to assure the adequacy of site pollutant discharge
controls. Should the "Trained Contractor" or Qualified Inspector determine that the
measures provided at the site should be modified or new measures should be added, the
SWPPP shall be updated accordingly. Any revisions to the SWPPP that are deemed necessary
shall be documented utilizing the form included with Appendix A. Modifications to post
construction stormwater facilities are not allowed during construction without all necessary
approvals from the Owner/Operator, and/or NYSDEC Regional Office. Construction phase
erosion and sediment control facilities may be modified as directed by a qualified
professional.

FOR
LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
24
7.3 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF CONSTRUCTION
During the construction phase, the Contractor or Owner/Operator may elect to temporarily
suspend soil disturbance activities at a stage of partial project completion or duringthe winter
months. During this time, inspections may be temporarily discontinued or reduced in
frequency. Prior to reducing the frequency of site inspections, the Notice to Reduce
Frequency of SPDES Site Inspections form (located in Appendix G) shall be completed and
submitted to the MS4 or NYSDEC. Only after receiving written approval shall the site
inspection frequency be reduced.
7.3.1 Partial Project Completion
For constructions sites where soil disturbance activities have been shut down with
partial project completion, all areas disturbed as of the project shutdown date have
achieved final stabilization, and all post-construction stormwater management
practices required for the completed portion of the project have been constructed in
conformance with the SWPPP and are operational, the construction-phase
inspections may stop. Prior to the shutdown, the Owner/Operator must notify the
MS4 or NYSDEC regional office, in writing, documenting the intent to suspend
inspections.
If soil disturbance activities have not resumed within two (2) years from the date of
shutdown, the Owner/Operator shall have the Qualified Inspector perform a final
inspection and submit a properly completed Notice of Termination (NOT) from to
NYSDEC.
7.3.2 Winter Shutdown
During periods of winter shutdown, the "Trained Contractor" inspections may be
stopped, and the Qualified Inspector inspections may be conducted at a minimum of
once every thirty (30) calendar days. Prior to modifying the inspection schedule, all
disturbed areas must first achieve temporary stabilization in accordance with the
Project Plans, and to the satisfaction of the Qualified Inspector. If, during winter
shutdown temporary stabilization measures become disturbed or are rendered
ineffective, the Contractor must make those necessary revisions to the erosion and
sediment control measures to the satisfaction of the Qualified Inspector.
Once soil disturbance activities resume, or the site is no longer temporarily stabilized,
the regular inspection schedules must be followed.

Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential)when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

If your project or action is within or near an area with a rare animal, a permit may be required if the species is listed as
endangered or threatened and the department determines the action may be harmful to the species or its habitat.
If your project or action is within or near an area with rare plants and/or significant natural communities,the
environmental impacts may need to be addressed.
The presence of a unique geological feature or landform near a project, unto itself, does not trigger a requirement for a

be deemed conducive to the existence of state and/or federally-listed Endangered,
Threatened and/or Rare (ETR) species of flora and fauna. More specifically, NCES
assessed the property for the presence of individual ETR species and/or significant
ecological communities, as identified by direct consultation with the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation Natural Heritage Office (DECNHO) and the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The ecological review included the
following:
1) An in-house review of literature sources and direct consultations with regulatory
agencies regarding records of known occurrences of state and/or federally listed
endangered, threatened or rare species of flora and fauna for the subject property
and surrounding area.
2) An on-site field review of the existing ecological communities, habitats and
indigenous flora/fauna present within the boundaries of the property to determine
the likelihood of endangered, threatened and/or rare species presence.
To initiate the in-house review, NCES directly consulted with the DECNHO and the
USFWS to obtain information relative to any known records of occurrence of ETR
species of flora/fauna within the immediate vicinity of the property. Additionally,
information pertaining to the potential for presence of significant ecological community
types or other sensitive habitats that are found within the immediate geographic area of
the property was also requested. Responses issued by the regulatory agencies are
attached for reference.

According to the response issued by the DECNHO (dated October 2, 2019) the Natural
Heritage Database possesses records of occurrence of two species of state-listed animals
in relation to the subject property. More specifically, the Natural Heritage Database
indicates that the following species have the potential to be found on, or in the immediate
vicinity of,the site:
• Karner Blue Butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis)—State/Federally Endangered
• Frosted Elfin(Callophrys irus)— State Threatened, Federally Unlisted
The response from the DECNHO states that the two species of butterflies have been
documented within 0.5 miles of the subject property. However, no further information
detailing the exact locations of the species was provided.
Subsequent to the consultation with the USFWS District Office in Cortland, New York,
NCES was directed to review the USFWS website for supplemental information on
federally-listed ETR species and ecologically significant habitats. The information
obtained from the USFWS website (dated September 3, 2019) indicates that, based on
documented records of occurrence, the following species have the potential to be present
at (or within the immediate vicinity o fl the subject property:
• Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) - State & Federally Threatened.
• Karner Blue Butterfly
The information obtained from the USFWS was not accompanied by any supporting
information detailing approximate locations of the federally-listed species or their
associated habitats. As a result, the information provided is not intended to be project
specific as (according to the USFWS Staf� detailed information identifying precise
locations of federally protected species is to remain confidential. However, based on the
information provided, the speculated presence of the species is recognized by the
USFWS given extant populations and/or previously (historic) recorded occurrences of
them within all of Saratoga County,New York.
As a result of the in-house review, it was determined by NCES that a field assessment of
the subject property was warranted. NCES visited the site on October 4, 2019 and
conducted a general ecological assessment. During the assessment, NCES traversed the
entire parcel to identify the individual ecological community types present, document the
overall ecological condition of the property, and to determine if suitable habitat
conducive to the e�stence of Northern Long-eared Bats, Karner Blue Butterflies or
Frosted Elfins exists on the site. During the review,NCES actively searched the existing
community types for specific habitats that would be deemed conducive to the existence
of the aforementioned species. NCES also reviewed the property for other unique
communities and/or rare species of flora and fauna that were not referenced by the
regulatory agencies. As a result of the review,NCES offers the following information:
Site Location & Description
The site is located along the southern side of Loudon Road, approximately 3,100� feet to
the east of the intersection of Loudon Road and Weibel Avenue, in the City of Saratoga
Springs, Saratoga County, New York (Figure 1). The subj ect parcel can be found on the
Quaker Springs USGS 7.5' Quadrangle map and the centralized coordinates of it are 43°
OS' S3.96" N Latitude and 73°44' 06.52" W Longitude. The overall property is 13� acres
in size. Elevations within the property boundaries range from 300� feet above mean sea
level (msl), located along Louden Road, to 280� feet above msl, as situated in the
southwest portion of the site, resulting in an elevation difference of only 20 feet.
The site can be generally described as partially developed residential lot. The
northernmost portion of the Site, fronting Loudon Road, has been developed and contains
a single-family residence. In addition to the house, a detached garage and maintained
garden are also found near the existing residence. Areas surrounding the house, garage
and garden exist as mowed lawn. All other portions of the property, with the exception
of a small (20' by 40'), isolated, early successional upland field, are wooded. This
isolated patch of early successional upland is located near the center of the site and it is
completely surrounded by forested upland. No vegetated wetlands, defined streams, or
other regulated aquatic resources were identified during the site review.
Based on the definitions presented in the Ecological Communities of New York State
(Edinger, 2014) and Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United
States (Cowardin, 1979), the following ecological communities have been identified on
the property:
• Mowed Lawn with Trees (Edinger)
• Pine Northern Hardwood Forest(Edinger)
• Successional old field (Edinger)
Land use surrounding the property consists of single-family residential development,
commercial development, and undeveloped land. Several single-family residences, found
within a residential subdivision, border the property to the east. Commercial
development (associated with the Wilton Mall) borders the property to the north, on the
north side of Louden Road. Other commercial development, inclusive of restaurants,
automobile sales facilities, and retail shops are found to the north of the property, along
New York State Route 50. Undeveloped forested land borders the site to the south. A
fallow, early successional field borders the site to the west. Photographs of the property,
taken during the ecological assessment to document the existing conditions observed, are
attached for your reference.

Endangered/Threatened Species Assessment
As previously stated NCES visited the site on October 4, 2019 and conducted the
ecological assessment. During the assessment, NCES searched the property for the ETR
species referenced and any habitat types that would be deemed conducive to rare species
inhabitance. To complete the field surveys, NCES utilized opportunistic visual survey
methodologies, as well as cover object search techniques and auditory monitoring.
NCES visually scanned each of the ecological communities and assessed general
condition and species presence. Where logs, rocks or other natural debris were found,
NCES physically moved/lifted the debris to search for species. NCES documented
species present by sight, sound and or physical remains (tracks, scat, feathers, etc.).
Specific assessments for the agency-listed species are provided below:
Northern Long-eared Bat Habitat Assessment
NCES reviewed the property for habitats that e�ibit the criteria for potential summer
roosting and suitable foraging habitat for Northern Long-eared Bats. NCES also
searched for any caves, mines, or other man-made structures that could be used as an
over-wintering hibernaculum. NCES utilized information obtained from the USFWS,
including the "Northern Long-eared Bat Fact Sheet", which defines criteria of potential
habitat for the species. NCES conducted the habitat analysis following the recommended
procedures outlined by the USFWS and DEC protocols established for summer bat
surveys.
According to the USFWS, suitable, potential Northern Long-eared Bat summer habitats
are characterized as forested communities that possess live and dead trees with "loose
bark, cavities or crevices" as well as within "...cooler places like caves and mines".
These bats have also been reported to be found roosting in "structures like barns and
sheds". Northern Long-eared Bats are known to roost independently or within colonies.
Wintering habitat for the Northern Long-eared Bat is defined as being within "caves and
mines" that possess "large passages and entrances; constant temperatures; and high
humidity with no air currents". Potential foraging habitat for the Northern Long-eared
Bat is defined as "...understory of forested hillsides and ridges".
As a result of the review, NCES did identify trees on the property that e�ibited the
characteristics of suitable roosting habitat. These trees possess exfoliating or defoliating
bark, cracks, holes, or crevices and include: shagbark hickory; dead ash, red oak and
white pine; and, wind/insect damaged red oak and sugar maples. These trees are
scattered throughout the forested community. Therefore, they are not confined to any
one location on the property. During the site assessments, no caves or mines were
identified. However, man-made structures are present on the site that may provide
summer roosting or over-wintering habitat. These structures include the existing house
and adjacent detached garage. However, no observation of any bats actually utilizing
these structures was noted by NCES during the assessment of the property.
Potential foraging habitat for Northern Long-eared Bats was also found on the property.
The foraging habitat (along with the potential roost trees identified) is limited to the
forested community that exists on-site. It should be known that potential foraging habitat
consists of a variety of different wooded cover types that are common throughout the
geographic region.
Despite suitable roosting and foraging habitat being documented on the site, NCES did
not conduct ariy specific presence/absence (acoustical monitoring or mist net) surveys on
the property. Instead of conducting these surveys, the presence of Northern long-eared
Bats was simply assumed.
As is standard DEC and USFWS directive when potential summer roosting habitat for
listed bats is present, a time-of-year restriction would likely be requested to be
implemented by the regulatory agencies, whereas the tree clearing activities would be
restricted to occur between October 1 and March 31 of any given calendar year. This is
the duration of the year when the bats would not be located within summer habitats and
therefore would not be subject to direct impact by the removal of trees. Based on our
previous experiences and consultations with the USFWS, USACE and DEC, if an
Applicant is willing and able to comply with the time-of-year restrictions, and thus limits
tree clearing activities within wooded areas between October 1 and March 31, then direct
impacts to bats would be avoided and no further actions or coordination with the
regulatory agencies would be required.
Karner Blue Butterfly and Frosted Elfin Habitat Assessment
NCES conducted a ground survey for potential Karner Blue Butterfly and Frosted Elfin
habitat utilizing the information contained within the Final Recovery Plan for the Karner
Blue Butterfly (USFWS, 2003) (the "Karner Blue RP") as well as other information
regarding survey guidelines as presented in the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources Karner Blue Butterfly Habitat Conservation Plan (Wisconsin DNR, 1999) and
Frosted Elfin Resource Guide (NYNHP, 2008).
Suitable Karner Blue Butterfly and Frosted Elfin habitat is characterized as consisting of
Oak Savannas, Pine Barrens and occasionally Lake Dune Complexes (Haack, 1992).
Suitable habitat is also associated with dry sandy early successional sites that possess low
open canopies (<5% cover) and a variety of nectar sources. Viable Karner Blue Butterfly
habitat is almost always associated with wild blue lupine (Lupinus perennis), as lupine is
the only associated host plant that is utilized by the larvae of the species. While wild blue
lupine is the exclusive larval host plant of the Karner Blue Butterfly, many first-
generation adults also utilize the lupine as a nectar source (Haack, 1992). Frosted elfin
habitat is almost always associated with wild blue lupine and/or wild indigo (Baptisia
tinctoria) (NYNHP, 2008).
Based upon the ecological conditions observed during the investigation, no habitats
conducive to these species were identified within the boundaries of the site. These
species rely upon open, early successional fields, that possess sandy soils that are
conducive to the growth of nectar sources and host plant species, such as wild blue lupine
and wild indigo. The only open area found on the property is a sma1120' by 40' patch of
successional old field that is found near the center of the site. This area is becoming
overgrown with tatarian honeysuckle, raspberries and white pine saplings. No wild blue
lupine was identified. The remainder of the undeveloped portions of the property are
forested and do not contain habitat that is conducive to the existence of Karner Blue or
Frosted Elfin butterflies.
Other Sensitive Species and Habitats
During the site review, NCES did not observe any endangered or threatened species (as
classified by the USFWS or DECNHO) on the property. Additionally, NCES did not
identify any Species of Special Concern, or otherwise considered rare, according the New
York Rare Animal and Rare Plant Lists as established by the DEC. The species of flora
and fauna observed and the existing ecological community types present on the property
are all common within the general geographic area.
If you have any questions regarding this evaluation, please do not hesitate to contact
NCES at any time.
Sincerely,
North Country Ecological Services,Inc.

Dear Mr. Newman:
In response to your recent request, we have reviewed the New York Natural Heritage
Program database with respect to the above project.
Enclosed is a report of rare or state-listed animals and plants, and significant natural
communities that our database indicates occur in the vicinity of the project site.
For most sites, comprehensive field surveys have not been conducted; the enclosed
report only includes records from our database. We cannot provide a definitive statement as
to the presence or absence of all rare or state-listed species or significant natural
communities. Depending on the nature of the project and the conditions at the project site,
further information from on-site surveys or other sources may be required to fully assess
impacts on biological resources.
Our database is continually growing as records are added and updated. If this proposed
project is still under development one year from now, we recommend that you contact us
again so that we may update this response with the most current information.
The presence of the plants and animals identified in the enclosed report may result in
this project requiring additional review or permit conditions. For further guidance, and for
information regarding other permits that may be required under state law for regulated areas
or activities (e.g., regulated wetlands), please contact the NYS DEC Region 5 Office, Division
of Environmental Permits, at dep.r5@dec.ny.gov, (518) 623-1286.

Project Name: Loudon Road CITE Development
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project.The species list fulfills the
� requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act(ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). This list can also
be used to determine whether listed species may be present for projects without federal agency
involvement. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and
distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list.
Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the
potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated
and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations
implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90
days.This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service
recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC site at regular intervals
during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An
updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process
used to receive the enclosed list. If listed, proposed, or candidate species were identified as
potentially occurring in the project area, coordination with our office is encouraged. Information
on the steps involved with assessing potential impacts from projects can be found at: http://
�v�nr���_Fvv�:s.�r}vlz�r�rtdlt:astJri��sl�cction7.hu��
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act(16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan(http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
10104l2019 Event Code: 05E1NY00-2020-E-00142 2
eagle guidance.html).Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the Services wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenerev/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: htt�://

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species.The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the ESA. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office.

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 (6 NYCRR Part 617).
Based upon this review, it is the opinion of 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.
