H x 47.5 ft. D • Increased LOD < 2 ac. • Set back 820 ft. from Adams Rd. 3 Operational Noise Evaluated Cumulative Operational Noise Impacts Adams Road assumed as the receptor, transition into residential zoning Cumulative SPL without generators = 53.2 dBA Cumulative SPL with all 4 back-up generators running = 68.25 dBA *Only includes attenuation over distance, buildings and vegetation will also attenuate noise. 53.2 dBA within guidelines for use, acceptable for residential areas 68.25 dBA acceptable for commercial/industrial. Intermittent or temporary noise associated with generators. Generators in sound dampening enclosures. Not defined as “unreasonable noise” in Chapter 148 Aligns with zoning definition and use definition (general industrial) 4 5 Truck Traffic 6 Parking Why 1,493 spaces when only about 750 employees on peak shift? Shift overlap Snow removal and maintenance Employee convenience Temporary displacement of surface parking. More detail with site plan applications. Ease of operations and best use of space 7 Petroleum & Chemical Bulk Storage Bulk Petroleum Storage 7k-10k diesel intrinsic belly tanks for each back-up generator Secondary containment (110% rupture basin), spill and overfill prevention devices *NYSDEC PBS regulations* Bulk Chemical Storage Exterior storage of 10N Sodium Hydroxide and 33% Phosphoric Acid solutions 1-2 tanks per chemical (8k – 10k gal.) Concrete containment (110% single tank vol.), chemical resistant coating, collection basins Pumps and loading stations also in containment areas *NYSDEC CBS regulations* 8 Waste Generation No on-site waste disposal or incineration Methods of disposal: Recycling, waste-to-energy, incineration, C&D debris, composting 9 Waste Generation Proposed Prior SEQR Record (1998) 10 Impact on Air Levels of NYS Air Permitting Exempt Facility: Exempt and trivial activities and equipment Air Facility Registration (AFR): Facilities with emissions below defined limits, commonly for facilities with smaller amounts of combustion and/or process emissions, lowest formal regulatory level State Air Facility Permit: Typically for facilities voluntarily capping emissions below major source thresholds. Title V Facility Permit: Major sources of air emissions under the Clean Air Act Smallest Emitters Largest Emitters 11 Impact on Air Process Emissions Process emissions from mammalian cell culture biotechnology are air and water vapor. No regulated contaminants emitted. No Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) or High Toxicity Air Contaminants (HTACs) will be used during the production process nor are any exhausted. Combustion operations excluded from the definition of “process emissions” NYSDEC regulates combustion and process emissions under different regulations New York’s Air Toxics Regulations (6 NYCRR Part 212) applies only to process emissions and not to combustion operations 12 Impact on Air Combustion Emissions Regeneron will need the AFR due to combustion-related emissions NYSDEC regulations and standards developed to be protective of public health. Combustion emissions from steam generating boilers and back-up power generating equipment. Multiple heat sources each having greater than 10 million BTU per hour maximum heat input rating, making them non-exempt sources. All GHG emissions are below EAF thresholds except CO2 (due to combustion sources). Level is appropriate for this land use and size facility (30,618 tons/year). Small to medium manufacturing or industrial facility. EAF threshold is 1,000 tons/year. 13 Bike Storage and EV Chargers Bike Storage Covered bike storage will be provided Likely in the front entrance off Adams Road/Marcel Drive Geyser Road bike path is a connector EV Chargers Currently 4 EV chargers Commitment to provide at least 12 on the site Draw on power supply (1-3 MWs for 12 chargers) 14 Lighting 15 Landscaping Some parking lot island removal, Tree and shrub removal Oak, apple, white pine, ornamental cherry, black locust Details and replacement to be provided in site plan submissions. 16 Other Updates Since February Letters of Service provided by SCWA and SCSD #1 SHPO Returned a No Effect Finding Letter Fire Department approval of the site master plan LaBella provided a concurring traffic study and CME submitted a response 17 18
