Berlin and wife 175 feet to the westerly line of Putnam Street and thence northerly along said westerly line of Putnam Street 74 feet to the place of beginning. The above described property is known as 53 Putnam Street, Saratoga Springs, New York • A 2, I AND: Architecture&Design SUMMARY of DEMOLITION WORK 53 Putnam Street Redevelopment Project Saratoga Springs, NY The existing building is scheduled to be demolished starting on March 12, 2019. Demolition is a necessary first step to commence the remediation plan and eventual construction of a new structure that will occupy roughly the same footprint as the existing building. Over the last few years the building deterioration has advanced significantly, requiring structural shoring to prevent potential collapse and maintain site safety. Rather than invest in further stabilization strategies, the development team has determined the timing is now right to proceed with building demolition. The building itself has little to no remaining historic value. It is structurally compromised due to its age, construction type and lack of maintenance over the years. The remediation of contamination requires removal of the building. Demolition Operations The work will commence with the removal of the structure working from the front roof down to grade and moving to the rear of the site. The site will be secured with six foot tall temporary chain link construction fencing with a lockable gate at Putnam St. Access to the Right of Way on the north side of the site will be restricted during the period of demolition to maintain safety and make room for removal equipment. Surrounding property Owners will be notified of the demolition operations in advance of the start of the work. Once the structure is demolished to grade level, the existing masonry foundations will remain until such time as excavation begins for the remediation and proposed new structure. All demolition debris will be removed from the site in regular daily intervals. The existing slab was removed before the current development team began their efforts to redevelop the site. Once the building is down, the existing exposed dirt floor will remain at the Putnam St. sidewalk elevation, more or less flat and graded smooth. Some amount of#2 crushed stone will also be exposed. Project Sequencing The proposed project is currently in design and a separate DRC and Planning Board application will be submitted in the coming weeks. Demolition is scheduled to begin March 12th, pending DRC approval. Demolition operations are expected to last 4-6 weeks depending on weather. Once the building is removed the site will be graded smooth and perimeter secured and will remain that way for several months while the project team finalizes the remediation work plan with NYSDEC. Upon approval of the remediation work plan, expected later this spring, remediation operations will commence. Saratoga Springs•Johnstown•www.and-architecture.com A 2, I AND: Architecture& Remediation involves the removal of contaminated soil and injection of chemicals to neutralize residual organic compounds left after soil extraction. The goal is to time the remediation work, while the building permit application is being reviewed, so initial foundation excavation can commence once the contaminated soil is removed and limit the amount of time an open pit will exist on the site before new foundations can be installed. Saratoga Springs•Johnstown•www.and-architecture.com ERLING Sterling Environmental Engineering, P.C. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION 53 Putnam Street Redevelopment Project NYSDEC BCP#C546057 Saratoga Springs,NY The 53 Putnam Street Site (Site) was accepted into the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on May 16, 2017. The BCP was developed and adopted by NYSDEC to encourage cleanup and redevelopment of environmentally impaired properties to benefit NY communities. Comprehensive investigation and remediation is required once a site is accepted into the BCP. The process of investigating and remediating the Site is performed under the direction of the NYSDEC, with approvals at specific milestones during the process, leading to issuance of a Certificate of Completion by the agency. A repository of important environmental investigation and remediation documents is maintained at the Saratoga Springs Public Library, in accordance with the BCP. The following sections describe the investigation completed to date, and the anticipated remediation for the Site. Remedial Investigation: A comprehensive investigation of the Site was completed in December 2018 to define the nature and extent of environmental impacts that may require remediation. The investigation was completed in accordance with a Remedial Investigation Work Plan approved by the NYSDEC. The Remedial Investigation Report is currently being prepared and is expected to be submitted in March 2019 for approval by the NYSDEC. Site Remediation: A Remedial Action Work Plan(RAWP) is being prepared to propose remedial measures to be undertaken to address environmental impacts at the Site based on the results of the remedial investigation. Building demolition is scheduled for March 2019 and is one of the first steps to remediate the Site. Removal of the building will allow the access necessary for implementation of remedial measures. Remedial measures are anticipated to include a combination of excavation/off-site disposal of impacted soil to a depth of approximately 5 feet (i.e., above the water table), and injection of Hydrogen Releasing Compounds (HRC) and Oxygen Releasing Compounds (ORC) to degrade residual contamination below the water table,based on the current understanding of the environmental impacts. The NYSDEC will issue a "Decision Document" describing the approved remedial measures following a public comment period for the RAWP. Remediation will be implemented after the Decision Document is issued by the NYSDEC. The Site will be available for redevelopment and construction as soon as the remedial actions have been completed. Remedial actions undertaken in accordance with the RAWP are documented in a Final Engineering Report and Site Management Plan, the latter of which describes any engineering controls or monitoring that continue after the Certificate of Completion is issued.

Name of Action or Project: Putnam Resources LLC-Building Demolition and Site Remedial Activities Project Location(describe,and attach a general location map): 53 Putnam Street,City of Saratoga Springs,Saratoga County-existing Brownfield site Brief Description of Proposed Action(include purpose or need): Demolition of the existing 9,179 square foot one-story concrete block building is proposed as an initial phase of site remediation. The existing building is in disrepair and has been temporarily stabilized to prevent collapse. Upon demolition of the existing building,environmental remediation will commence, consisting of removal of soil and in-situ treatment of groundwater(please see attached narrative for full description). This Action seeks City approval of the demolition of the existing dilapidated building as the structure is located in the Historic Overlay District and/or City approval of demolition of certain structures requires site plan approval. The remedial action work plan and the environmental review of the remediation is within the purview of the NYSDEC under the Brownfield Cleanup Program. This Action does not include the redevelopment of the Property which is the subject of a separate concurrent review. Approval of this Action does not commit the City or its agencies to approval of the proposed redevelopment. Stated differently,the remediation of the Property is not dependent on the approval of a redevelopment plan for the Property.
