STERLING File#2015-30
Dear Ms. Barden,
I am writing on behalf of Putnam Resources, LLC in regards to the environmental remediation and
redevelopment of the properiy located at 53 Putnam Street, Saratoga Springs, NY. Sterling Environmental
Engineering, P.C. (STERLING) is the environmental consulting fu7n warking cooperatively with Putnam
Resources and the New Yark State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to address the
environmental conditions at the site within the context of the NYSDEC Brownfield Cleanup Program.
STERLING recently completed the Remedial Investigation of the site to the satisfaction of the NYSDEC and
currently is preparing a Remedial Action Wark Plan (RAWP) for approval by the agency. The RAWP will
describe the actions taken to remediate the environmental impacts at the site.
I am writing in response to reported concerns about the condition of the site after remedial activities are
completed and before construction of a planned building proceeds. The RAWP will include a description of the
proposed site condition and restoration activities once the remediation is complete. Modest greenspace
improvements will be performed to improve the site aesthetiics until such time as construction proceeds.
Inclusion of these measures in the RAWP ensures the timing, scope, and completion of the site restoration,
which would not be a prerequisite for city approval according to NYSDECs prerogative.
Please feel free to contact me if you ha�e any questions regarding this matter.
Best Regards,
STERL NVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING,P.C.
