The Project area has frontage along Louden Road and Bog Meadow Run. 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" (RR) zoning district. 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. Each lot will consist of a "development envelope" surrounded by deed-restricted conservation areas consistent with the conservation subdivision regulations. Lots have been clustered to reduce environmental impacts located to mitigate visual impacts from public streets and to maintain the current character of the neighborhood. Development envelopes have been located to protect the areas of the property identified by the Saratoga Springs Open Space Advisory Committee as having the most conservation value. Proposed driveways have been designed in accordance with AASHTO sight distance requirements and in accordance with New York State Residential and Fire codes. Proposed lots have been arranged to provide minimum horizontal separation distances between wells and septic systems. Louden Road is a Town of Wilton road. The Town Engineer and Highway Department have reviewed and approved the location of the driveway for Lot 4. See attached correspondence. In the RR District, the conservation subdivision regulations require a minimum of 50% of the land be placed into conservation easements. The proposed design meets this requirement. www.citedev.com Page 1 of 4# J [ J1 Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project Narrative May 6, 2020 Conservation Analysis An existing conditions conservation analysis was performed for the Project in accordance with the City's conservation subdivision regulations. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the presence (or absence) of constrained lands as defined by the City code as well as other environmental features not defined by the code but worth preservation. The analysis performed included a desktop review of online environmental datasets, and review in the field of actual site conditions. Field studies performed include wetland delineation, hardwood tree inventory,topographic survey, and visual analysis. To assist with the conservation analysis, the attached Application for Conservation Subdivision Plat Completeness Checklist was used. This checklist provides an itemized list of environmental features that were evaluated as part of the analysis. The findings of the analysis are shown on drawing "C2 Conservation Analysis Map" provided in the Project Plans, and the impacts and mitigation measures are summarized as follows: Finding No. 1—No constrained lands as defined by the City code are present on-site It was determined no jurisdictional wetlands, steep slopes (>25% and >2,000 sf contiguous area), or areas within the 100-year flood plain were present on the parcel. Finding No. 2—The Project area possesses wooded areas > 1 acre in size. The project area is nearly all wooded, and therefore consists of wooded areas > 1 acre in size. To mitigate the effects of development on the woodlands, a hardwood tree inventory was completed as part of the site survey. It determined the location and size of hardwoods throughout the parcel. The inventory determined a larger concentration of hardwood trees existed in the western central portion of the Project area. The proposed subdivision layout has been designed placing the vast majority of hardwoods within deed-restricted conservation areas. Finding No. 3—The Project area possesses some uncommon trees by virtue of size and age. The hardwood tree inventory study identified a 60" oak, 40" willows, and a 70" maple as unique trees due to their apparent age and large size. These trees are located beyond the proposed development envelopes, and therefore will be preserved and not impacted by the Project. Finding No.4—Partial vegetated buffering to adjacent properties exists. The wooded character and topography of the parcel provides a partial vegetated buffer between the Transect Zone 4 Urban Neighborhood (T-4) parcel to the west and the Bog Meadow Run neighborhood. The proposed design will provide a permanent 205'-0" wooded buffer between the Bog Meadow Run development and the T-4 zoned parcel to the west. The proposed subdivision design will provide protected vegetated buffers between all existing and proposed lots. Refer to the Project Plans for more information. www.citedev.com Page 2 of 4# I [ ] 1 Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project Narrative May 6, 2020 The Saratoga Springs Open Space Advisory Committee walked the property and determined the natural resource possessing the greatest conservation value were the second-growth forested areas on the parcel. These hardwoods are located along the western boundary of the property and along the east- west "ridge" that runs through the center of the project area. These hardwoods will all be protected by conservation areas as shown on the Project Plans. Water and Sewer Service The proposed building lots will be serviced by individual drilled wells and on-site sewage disposal systems similar to the adjacent Bog Meadow development. On site soil testing was performed and confirmed the site's suitability to support conventional sewage disposal systems. Test pits excavated identified predominantly loamy fine sands with no groundwater or bedrock encountered. Proposed wells will be constructed and located in accordance with NYSDOH requirements. Wells will be drilled to draw from the existing unconsolidated aquifer known to exist in the area. Expected yields range between 1 and 20 gpm. Wells will be located in a manner to ensure minimal chance of contamination. Each well will be located upgradient and at least 100 feet from any sewage disposal system. Where this is not feasible, wells will be located a minimum of 200 feet from any sewage disposal system. Stormwater Management The nature of the Project (single-family residential subdivision), and 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 NYSDEC SPDES General Permit(GP-0-20-001) and City Zoning Code. 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. www.citedev.com Page 3 of 4# Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project Narrative CITE May 6, 2020 SEQRA— Endangered Species and Cultural Resources 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 any impacts to them will be conducted in accordance with standard NYSDEC and USFWS directives. 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. www.citedev.com Page 4 of 4# STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN for LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION CITE No. 19004 SARATOGA SPRINGS PROJECT No. 20191216 PROJECT ADDRESS: 406 Louden Road City of Saratoga Springs / Town of Wilton Saratoga County, New York 12866 PREPARED BY: CITE Development, Engineering & Landscape Architecture, PLLC 20 Reservation Avenue Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 May, 2020 SWPPP PREPARER CERTIFICATION "I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted.

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.

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 LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 9 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: • Type 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 10 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 11 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 CULTURAL AND 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 12 4.0 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE Construction of the Project (installing, constructing, repairing, inspecting and maintaining the proposed site improvements, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control practices), shall be in accordance with this SWPPP and the Project Plans. The Contractor may only alter the sequence of construction, after having received prior approval form the SWPPP Preparer. Estimated Beginning of Construction: Spring, 2020 Estimated End of Construction: Fall, 2023 In general, construction will commence in accordance with the following sequence of operations. 1. Begin Construction. 2. Install temporary sediment and erosion control measures, and stake out limits of disturbance. 3. Perform clearing, grubbing and removals. 4. Commence construction of proposed site improvements. a. Construct downstream stormwater management facilities and conveyance piping. b. Perform rough grading, and subsurface utility installation. c. Construct proposed buildings, pavements, and other permanent site improvements. d. Complete fine grading, top dressing, finishing of pavement surfaces, signage, striping, etc. e. Stabilize remaining disturbed areas with "final stabilization" measures. f. Remove temporary erosion and sediment control practices. 5. Perform final site inspection, and as-builts (as required). 6. End Construction. The order (or sequence) in which the major activities are expected to begin is presented on the accompanying drawings, though each activity will not necessarily be completed before the next begins. In addition,these activities could occur in a different order if necessary to maintain adequate erosion and sediment control. If this is the case,the Contractor shall notify the SWPPP Preparer and Qualified Inspector overseeing the implementation of the SWPPP. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 13 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 14 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 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 17 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.

Stones shall be replaced as needed to maintain the designed dimensions of the structures. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 19 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 by the 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 20 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 22 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 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 during the 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. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 25 7.4 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 7.4.1 Inspection and Maintenance Reports The Qualified Inspector is not required to conduct construction site inspections for this project. However, should site conditions occur that result in a violation of this SWPPP and General Permit,the Qualified Inspector may perform site inspections, and prepare an inspection and maintenance report. These reports shall be prepared and filed within the Site Log Book, and be prepared to identify and document the status and effectiveness of the erosion and sediment control measures. A sample inspection form is provided in Appendix G. Specifically, each inspection shall record the following information, at a minimum: 1. Date and time of inspection. 2. Name and title of person(s) performing inspection. 3. A description of the weather and soil conditions (e.g. dry, wet, saturated) at the time of the inspection. 4. A description of the condition of the runoff at all points of discharge from the construction site, including any discharges of sediment. 5. A description of the condition of all natural surface water bodies located within, or immediately adjacent to, the property boundaries of the construction site which receive runoff from disturbed areas, including any discharges of sediment to the surface waterbody. 6. Identification of all erosion and sediment control practices that need repair or maintenance, were not installed properly or are not functioning as designed and need to be reinstalled or repaired. 7. Description and sketch of areas that are disturbed at the time of the inspection and areas that have been stabilized (temporary and/or final) since the last inspection. 8. Current phase of construction of all post-construction stormwater management practices and identification of all construction that is not in conformance with the SWPPP and technical standards. 9. Corrective action(s) that must be taken to install, repair, replace or maintain erosion and sediment control practices; and to correct deficiencies identified STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FOR LOUDEN ROAD RESIDENTIAL CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION 26 with the construction of the post-construction stormwater management practice(s). 10. Identification and status of all corrective actions that were required by previous inspections. 11. Digital photographs, with date stamp, which show the condition of all practices that have been identified as needing corrective action or have undergone corrective action. Photographs must be attached to the associated inspection report. 7.4.2 Site Log Book The Owner/Operator shall retain a copy of the SWPPP at the construction site from the start of construction until final stabilization. During construction, the Owner/Operator shall maintain a record of all SWPPP inspection reports prepared at the site in the Site Log Book. The Site Log Book shall be maintained on-site and made available to the permitting authority. 7.4.3 Post-Construction Records and Archiving Following construction, the Owner/Operator shall retain a copy of the SWPPP, NOI, NOI Acknowledgement Letter, MS4 SWPPP Acceptance from, complete Site Log Book, and other records of data used to obtain eligibility under the General Permit for a period of at least five (5)years from the date NYSDEC receives a completed NOT form. This period may be extended by NYSDEC, at its sole discretion, at any time upon written request.

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. psi Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 11/8/2019 IOW Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 3 of 4 Hydrologic Soil Group—Saratoga County, New York 406 Louden Road Soil Survey-HSG Rating Options Aggregation Method: Dominant Condition Component Percent Cutoff:None Specified Tie-break Rule: Higher USDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 11/8/2019 Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 4 of 4 Project: Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Soil Testing Results Date: 29-Nov-19 On-Site Soil Testing Results Test Pit Soil Testing Test ID Depth Description Notes 0"-10" Topsoil no GW TP-1 10"-96" Loamy fine sand no mottles no bedrock 0"-10" Topsoil no GW TP-2 10"-72" Loamy fine sand no mottles no bedrock 0"-14" Topsoil no GW TP-3 14"-96" Loamy fine sand no mottles no bedrock 0"-22" Topsoil no GW TP-4 22"-96" Loamy fine sand no mottles no bedrock 1.

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 NYS DEC permit. Readers are advised, however,that there is the chance that a unique feature may also show in another 1/2 7/1/2019 Environmental Resource Mapper Information data layer (ie. a wetland) and thus be subject to permit jurisdiction. Please refer to the "Need a Permit?"tab for permit information or other authorizations regarding these natural resources. Disclaimer: If you are considering a project or action in, or near, a wetland or a stream, a NYS DEC permit may be required. The Environmental Resources Mapper does not show all natural resources which are regulated by NYS DEC, and for which permits from NYS DEC are required.

October 17, 2019 Mr. Wade Newman, P.E., RLA CITE Development, Engineering and Landscape Architecture, PLLC 20 Reservation Avenue Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 RE: Endangered and Threatened Species Assessment Loudon Road Residential Conservation Subdivision City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County,New York Dear Mr.Newman: Pursuant to your request, North Country Ecological Services, Inc. (NCES) completed an ecological assessment of the above-referenced property in search of habitats that would 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. 25 West Fulton Street,3rd Floor Suite,Gloversville,NY 12078-2924 • Phone/fax(518)725-1007 northcountryeco @igmail.com 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 of) 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 Staff) 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 existence 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 subject parcel can be found on the Quaker Springs USGS 7.5' Quadrangle map and the centralized coordinates of it are 43° 05' 53.96" 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. 1\. I. ems'' r, Ci.

These soil types include: Deerfield loamy fine sand with 3 to 8 percent slopes (DeB) and Windsor loamy sand, with 3 to 15 percent slopes (WnB & WnC) (Figure 2). Vegetation During the review, NCES identified three (3) different ecological communities on the property. These ecological communities include: Mowed Lawn with Trees, Pine- Northern Hardwood Forest, and Successional old field. Each of these ecological communities possess different and distinct species of vegetation that assist in defining them. The dominant species of vegetation observed in each ecological community are listed below: The dominant species of vegetation observed within the Mowed Lawn with Trees ecological community included, but are not limited to: sugar maple (Acer saccharum), northern red oak (Quercus rubra), black cherry (Prunus serotina), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), common plantain (Plantago major), red clover (Trifolium pratense), white clover (Trifolium repens), and various cut grasses (Graminae). In addition to these species, other ornamental varieties of shrubs and flowering plants were noted, however, they are not considered as dominant species within the landscape. The dominant species of vegetation observed within the Pine-Northern Hardwood Forest ecological community included, but are not limited to: white pine (Pinus strobus), red oak, white ash(Fraxinus americana), sugar maple, black cherry, American beech (Fagus grandifolia), hop hornbeam (Oystra virginiana), quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), tatarian honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica), Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), may apple (Podophyllum peltatum), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quiquefolia), wood fern (Dryopteris intermedia), garlic mustard (Alliaria officinalis), Virginia knotweed (Persicaria virginiana) and blue violet (Viola sororia). Some of the dominant vegetation observed within the successional old field ecological community included, but are not limited to: tatarian honeysuckle, blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis) dewberry (Rubus procumbens), sweet fern (Comptonia peregrina), Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), mullein (Verbascum thappsus), common milkweed (Asclepias syraca), common burdock (Arctium minus), spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa), little bluestem (Andropogon scoparius), and spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium), r 4o06e r.

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 exhibit 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 exhibited 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 any 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 Karver Blue Butterfly and Frosted Elfin habitat utilizing the information contained within the Final Recovery Plan for the Karner Blue Butterfly (USFWS, 2003) (the "Kamer 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 Kamer 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 Kamer 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 Karver 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 small 20' 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 Karver 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. .1.00ftwn A. ()Ev./. Thomas M.

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.

Please label on the Subdivision Plat the minimum permeable area required as well as the maximum impermeable area allowed for each lot. The minimum permeable area and maximum impermeable area for each lot has been added to the Subdivision Plat as Table 1. 8. The name of the property owner should be added to the title block of the drawings. The property owner has been added to the title block. 9. In accordance with City subdivision requirements for Conservation Subdivisions, preserved open space land shall be clearly delineated and labeled on the subdivision plat as to its use, ownership, management, method or preservation, and the rights, if any, of the owners of lots in the subdivision and the public to the open space land. The plat shall clearly show that the open space land is permanently preserved by a conservation easement and include deed recording information in the County Clerk's office for the conservation easement. Notation has been added to Sheet CS Subdivision Plat. 10. The deed restricted area shown on the subdivision plat should not include the driveways to each home.The Subdivision Plat should be updated to reflect this and quantify the total area of deed- restricted open space on each lot. The subdivision has been redesigned such that no driveways are within conservation areas. The total amount of deed restricted open space for each lot has been quantified in Table 1 on Sheet CS Subdivision Plat. www.citedev.com Page 2 of 5 JrfJ Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project May 6, 2020 11. In accordance with City subdivision requirements (City Code Chapter 241, Appendix H —General Requirements and Subdivision Design Standards, Section 2-R), all applicants for proposed subdivisions are to offer the City 10% Class A Type Usable Land, or an acceptable alternative defined in the City Code. The plans do not indicate any land that has been offered to the City. Please identify how the code requirement will be met. The project proposes to pay the recreation fee in lieu of dedicating land. 12. Proposed grading shall be further refined to depict how surface runoff will be directed around proposed homes and absorption fields. Additional spot grades may be necessary to clarify this. Additional proposed grading has been added to the plans. 13. Silt fence shown on the erosion and sediment control plans are not shown parallel with contours as required by New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control. Please revise accordingly. Silt fence has been revised to be parallel to contours, only. Notation is included on Drawing C7 to install additional silt fencing as required during construction. 14. Insufficient information and detail are provided for the proposed septic tank and onsite disposal system to verify compliance with NYSDOH requirements presented in "Residential Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Design Handbook". Specifically, please show the following: a. NYSDOH regulations state 2 percolation tests must be performed within the limits of each proposed absorption field. The only lot that has a percolation test within the absorption field is lot 5, and there is only 1. Additional testing is required in accordance with NYSDOH requirements. Correspondence with NYSDOH indicating their acceptance of the soil testing for the project has been included with this submission. (Refer to email dated 4/28/2020) b. The proposed septic system layout, showing the laterals, expansion area, septic tank and distribution box locations for each lot. The proposed septic system layout including laterals, expansion area, septic tanks and distribution boxes for each lot have been added to drawing C6. c. Proposed invert elevations of all system components along with top of concrete and the finished grades over each component. A table has been added to detail 4/C9 indicating the elevations of sewer system components. Finished grade above trenches equals 2' above invert per detail 1/C9. www.citedev.com Page 3 of 5 JriJ Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project May 6, 2020 d. Certification and tightness testing requirements. Septic tank water tightness testing requirements have been added to detail 6/C9, Construction Inspection,Testing and Certification note number 4. e. It appears the areas of the septic fields shown on the site plans are not consistent with the basis of design presented for 4-bedroom homes on sheet C9 which will likely result in a greater area of disturbance. Please revise accordingly. The proposed sewage disposal systems shown on C6 have been revised to provide additional information and are consistent with the basis of design presented on C9. 15. Please show the location of the water service connections and shutoff valves from each of the proposed wells to the house on the Development Plan and indicate size and material of the service. The actual water system design will be based upon the final house design and conditions of the developed well. Details 1 and 3 on Sheet C8 provide design criteria for the proposed water service. Water service lines have been added to the Development Plan. No external shut off valves are proposed. 16. Note, prior to the issuance of a building permit, two well yield tests shall be conducted twenty- four (24) hours apart with one hundred percent (100%) recovery required between tests. Results shall meet the requirements of the Water Quality Standards for Individual Wells, in accordance with the City subdivision regulations and NYSDOH requirements. The requirement has been added as Note 12 on Detail 3/C8. 17. Please indicate the locations of existing and proposed utilities (gas, electric, cable, etc.) on the Development Plan. Locations of existing and proposed utilities have been added to Sheet C6 Development Plan. 18. It appears that some of the driveway culverts may not have the required cover based on the proposed inverts. Please verify. Driveway culverts have been proposed to be constructed using HDPE N-12 pipe by ADS, Inc or approved equivalent per detail 2/C10. These pipes require a minimum of 12" of cover. All proposed culverts provide this minimum cover. The driveway for Lot 4 connects to Louden Road at the highpoint of the existing roadside swale, and so no culvert is required. 19. Please provide a construction detail indicating material specifications and thicknesses of the pavement sections for the proposed driveways. A typical asphalt pavement detail has been added as Detail 5/C8. www.citedev.com Page 4 of 5 JrfJ Louden Road Residential Conservation Subdivision Project May 6, 2020 Please contact me should you have any additional questions or comments. Sincerely, Wade Newman, PE, RLA President • www.citedev.com Page 5 of 5 RE: Louden Road Conservatoin Subdivision Soil Testing Kenyon, Kevin J (HEALTH) <kevin.kenyon@health.ny.gov> Tue 4/28/2020 10:34 AM To: Wade Newman <wnewman@citedev.com> I have looked at the development plan. Based on the deep hole tests that I witnessed, the percolation tests performed, and historic soils data from adjacent subdivisions, I find the number of percolation tests sufficient for DOH purposes. I do not believe adding a second test is necessary at this phase. In addition, before each lot is developed additional percolation tests are required. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails. Kevin, The project was submitted to the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board in January, 2020. Upon review, the City's Designated Engineer (Chazen) issued a comment letter which included the comment copied below: • NYSDOH regulations state 2 percolation tests must be performed within the limits of each proposed absorption field. The only lot that has a percolation test within the absorption field is lot 5, and there is only 1. Additional testing is required in accordance with NYSDOH requirements). I discussed this comment with Chazen, and explained how the soil conditions were the same throughout the project area, and that NYSDOH witnessed the soil testing that was performed. Further, I explained how additional percolation testing would be required when each lot submits its plot plan to the City for building permit. Chazen requested an email from NYSDOH stating the soil testing conducted for the project was sufficient to NYSDOH. Could you provide a response to this email stating this? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks.

Also, a quick heads up. I've decided to eliminate one lot off Louden Road. So the driveway stake that is west of the existing driveway will be eliminated and you can disregard that one. The driveway stake between the existing house and Bog Meadow Run will be the only new driveway location on Louden Road. The existing house and it's driveway will remain as is. Call if you have any questions. 315-244-0890.
