The lead agency has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment. This determination provides a detailed description of the proposed project and outlines the considerations of the Town Board in making this determination: Title oj Action: Proposed Adoption of the Draft Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map of 2006 SEQR Status: Unlisted Action Location: Select areas throughout the Town; not a comprehensive plan Brief Descriotion of the Prooosed Action: The proposed action involves adoption of the Draft Water Supply Plan Map 2006 as the official Town Water Map. The Town of Southold adopted a Water Supply Management & Watershed Protection Strategy in June of2000. As part of the implementation of this Strategy, the Town also adopted a Water Supply Plan Map in June of 2000 to show areas of existing and proposed public water supply. This map (referred to hereafter as the 2000 Water Map) was designed to identify the existing public water distribution network that comprised the public water supply system within the Town. The 2000 Water Map also identified the proposed future extensions of the public water distribution network that the Town would recognize for installation in cooperation and coordination with the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCW A). The Draft Southold Water Supply Plan Map of 2006 (which is the subject of this review) was generated to reflect the physical changes made to the water supply network since the adoption of the 2000 Strategy and Water Map and to provide a plan which will establish a policy for the future water supply network changes in response to changing water supply needs and increased growth trends within the Town. . . - ., Determination of Significance - Negative Declaration Adoption of 2006 Town Water Map Reasons Supporting This Determination: 1. The site has been evaluated in accordance with the Criteria for Determining Significance as contained in SEQRA 6NYCRR Part 617.7 (c). The proposed action has been evaluated through review of the following materials: . Environmental Assessment; Proposed Adoption of the Draft Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map of2006, June 14, 2007. . Suffolk County Water Authority, Five-Year Water Supply Plan for the Town of South old, 2003. . Town of South old Comprehensive Implementation Strategy, 2003. . Town of South old Water Supply Management & Water Protection Strategy, 2000 . Town of South old, Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan. . Correspondence between the Town of Southold and the Suffolk County Water Authority from ..!OOO, to 2006 pertaining to specific installations as referenced in the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment. . Independent deliberation by Town Board members; . Part 1 and Part II Environmental Assessment Forms (EAFs); . Analysis of site resource maps and available environmental data and information. Based upon this thorough review, the Town of Southold Town Board did not identify any substantial sensitive or unique environmental resources or, significant adverse environmental impacts in connection with the proposed project. Additional supporting findings for this determination of non significance are provided below. 2. The Criteria for Determining Significance are specifically evaluated as follows with respect to this action. The criteria are first stated followed by an evaluation of the significance with respect to the project. a. Substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; increase in solid waste production; a substantial increase in erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems. Based on the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment, no substantial adverse change is expected with respect to any of these resources. The project is consistent with comprehensive planning and zoning of the Town and evaluation did not identify any significant anticipated density increases or stress with respect to sensitive resources. Conversely, the water resources of the Town must be carefully managed, and the amendment of the water map improves public health and safety through proper water resource planning including looping of the distribution system, extension of water to existing residents and providing service to designated Priority areas and areas with compromised groundwater and resulting water supply. b. The removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory flsh or wildlife species; impacts on a significant habitat area; substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse impact to natural resources. The action will not cause significant adverse impacts to vegetation or fauna. Growth will be managed through proper allocation of water resources and conformance to comprehensive planning and zoning. Based on the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment, no substantial adverse change is expected with respect to ecological resources. Page 2 ofS . . Determination of Significance - Negative Declaration Adoption of 2006 Town Water Map c. The impairment of the environmental characteristics of a Critical Environmental Area as designated pursuant to subdivision 617. 14 (g). Some portions of effected areas may be within a designated Critical Environmental Area (CEA); however, based on the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment, impairment of the environmental characteristics of these CEA's is not expected. d. The creation of a material conflict with a community's current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted. The project is in conformance with community plans and goals as discussed in the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment. The project was reviewed with respect to the Town Water Supply Management & Water Supply Study, the Town Comprehensive Implementation Strategy and the Suffolk County Water Authority Town of Southold 5-year Water Supply Plan and found to conform to the basic goals of these plans. e. The impairment of the character or quality of important historical, archeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character. Individual Stage lA/lB Archival Search and Archaeological Survey may be prepared based on SEQRA review of individual projects where necessary. For the most part, impacted areas are along existing roads and in areas where existing infrastructure exists. f A major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy. The project involves extension of public water mains and may therefore use energy, The project is necessary for the protection of human health and safety by providing safe water supply. g. The creation of a hazard to human health. The action is not anticipated to result in the generation of any hazards to human health and provisions to maximize residents' safety will be incorporated into installation plans or provided for through individual project review. The project involves extension of public water mains and may therefore use energy. The project is necessary for the protection of human health and safety by providing safe water supply. h. A substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to support existing uses. The purpose of the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment, was to specifically determine if a substantial change in the use or intensity of use of land would occur as a result of the project, with specific consideration of the Town's valuable agriculture, open space and recreational r~sources No substantial adverse change is expected with respect to any of these resources, The project is consistent with comprehensive planning and zoning of the Town and evaluation did not identify any significant anticipated density increases or stress with respect to sensitive resources. Conversely, the water resources of the Town must be carefully managed, and the amendment of the water map improves public health and safety through proper water resource planning including looping of the distribution system, extension of water to existing residents and providing service to designated Priority areas and areas with compromised groundwater and resulting water supply. i. The encouraging or attracting of a large number of people to a place or places for more than a Page 3 of5 . . Determination of Significance - Negative Declaration Adoption of 2006 Town Water Map few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action. The action will not cause an increase in the population given the fact that the purpose of the action is manage limited water resources, and to serve the existing population. There is only very limited potential for additional population and as discussed in detail in the June 14, 2007 Environmental Assessment, some increase in potential development may occur however, such use would conform to zoning and mostly results from infill of existing subdivisions or limited development of several larger parcels as identified in the Environmental Assessment. j. The creation of a material demand for other actions that would result in one of the above consequences. The proposed project will not create a material demand for other actions that would exacerbate or create other impacts. k. Changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment. The proposed project has been considered on a Town-wide basis for select areas where the new 2006 Water Map differs from the 2000 Water Map. The combined effect does not rise to the level of a significant impact given the limited nature of the water resource allocation, the existing pattern of development (which will not change), the conformance of any development which may occur to Town zoning, and the potential for individual SEQRA review of projects if and when development of several vacant parcels is contemplated. As a result, the action is not expected to result in combined environmental impacts with any other action. I. Two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria. There are no other pending projects in the vicinity of the project site which when considered cumulatively with the proposed project would result in significant adverse environmental impacts. 3. The cooperation and coordination between the Town of Southold and the Suffolk County Water Authority is an important aspect of water supply planning for the Town. Prior reports including the WSM&WPS, as well as the Suffolk County Five Year Water Supply Plan for the Town of Southold (2003), recognize that the Town has a limited groundwater resource which must be prudently used in order to avoid significant water supply issues to the residents of the Town. Southold is surrounded by marine water, and the freshwater lense is underlain by saline groundwater. Salt water intrusion due to landward migration of the salt water interface as a result of low precipitation years and overpumping is a concern, as is salt water upcoming due to overpumpage of supply wells and/or private wells. In addition, areas with impacted water quality due to use of pesticides and fertilizer as well as solid waste disposal facilities, have caused areas of the Town to have unsuitable groundwater quality for consumptive purposes. The wide scale transmission of water from other parts of Long Island to Southold has not been found to be economically or logistically feasible. As a result, the Town and SCW A through water supply studies which occurred between 2000 and 2003 found that the best practice for management of this limited resource was through a basic policy to provide public water primarily to existing residents, particularly those in need of suitable water supply for consumptive purposes. In addition, location of new water supply distribution systems would be considered in areas where infill of development would occur (existing developed areas) and areas where existing infrastructure is appropriately located to serve future development in areas where such development Page 4 of5 . . Determination of Significance - Negative Declaration Adoption of 2006 Town Water Map was appropriate based on Town comprehensive planning. As a result, the management of the limited freshwater resources in the Town of Southold is based on the need to conserve water and protect public health given the environmental limitations of water supply availability. The 2006 Water Map update is consistent with this policy and is intended to serve needs which were not addressed by the 2000 Water Map. The current pending map provides a balance of resource conservation and the need to serve the water supply needs of the residents of the Town of Southold as described and analyzed in more detail herein.

Town of Sontbold Review of 2006 Draft Water Snpply Map . 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Town of Southold adopted a Water Supply Management & Watershed Protection Strategy (WSM& WPS) in June of 2000. The Strategy was a component of a larger growth management initiative and its purpose was "To design, adopt and implement a strategy for the protection and management of the sole source aquifer of the Township of Southold. The strategy shall define the areas to be protected, areas suitable for development, areas designated for farm and agricultural protection and how the watershed will be managed in order to ensure the highest quality potable drinking water for private water supply wells and preserve rural character. " (WSM&WPS, pages 2-3). As part of the implementation of this Strategy, the Town also adopted a Water Supply Plan Map in June of 2000 to show areas of existing and proposed public water supply. This map (referred to hereafter as the 2000 Water Map) was designed to identify the existing public water distribution network that comprised the public water supply system within the town. The 2000 Water Map also identified the proposed future extensions of the public water distribution network that the Town would recognize for installation in cooperation and coordination with the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCW A). The cooperation and coordination between the Town of Southold and the Suffolk County Water Authority is an important aspect of water supply planning for the Town. Prior reports including the WSM&WPS, as well as the Suffolk County Five Year Water Supply Plan for the Town of Southold (2003), recognize that the Town has a limited groundwater resource which must be prudently used in order to avoid significant water supply issues to the residents of the Town. Southold is surrounded by marine water, and the freshwater lense is underlain by saline groundwater. Salt water intrusion due to landward migration of the salt water interface as a result of low precipitation years and overpumping is a concern, as is salt water upcoming due to overpumpage of supply wells and/or private wells. In addition, areas with impacted water quality due to use of pesticides and fertilizer as well as solid waste disposal facilities, have caused areas of the Town to have unsuitable groundwater quality for consumptive purposes. The wide scale transmission of water from other parts of Long Island to Southold has not been found to be economically or logistically feasible. As a result, the Town and SCW A through water supply studies which occurred between 2000 and 2003 found that the best practice for management of this limited resource was through a basic policy to provide public water primarily to existing residents, particularly those in need of suitable water supply for consumptive purposes. In addition, location of new water supply distribution systems would be considered in areas where infill of development would occur (existing developed areas) and areas where existing infrastructure is appropriately located to serve future development in areas where such development was appropriate based on Town comprehensive planning. As a result, the management of the limited freshwater resources in the Town of Southold is based on the need to conserve water and protect public health given the environmental limitations of water supply availability. The 2006 Water Map update is consistent with this policy and is intended to serve needs which were not addressed by the 2000 Water Map.

Town of Sonthold Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . provides a balance ofresource conservation and the need to serve the water supply needs of the residents of the Town of South old as described and analyzed in more detail herein. It should be noted that the water maps referred to herein are generated by the Suffolk County Water Authority Geographic Information System (GIS) Mapping Unit for review and approval by the Town and supplied to the Town in GIS shape file format to be maintained as Town records. The 2000 Water Map had been created through the collaborative efforts of the Town, the Suffolk County Water Authority and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS). The 2000 Water Map set Town policy regarding the public water supply network that is owned, managed and operated by the Suffolk County Water Authority. No water lines were to be extended beyond those shown as proposed on the 2000 Water Map unless the Town Board voted to allow those extensions. In the intervening years, the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) installed some, but not ill1 ofthe proposed extensions of service in accordance with the 2000 Water Map. At the Town's request, the SCW A also installed new distribution lines in areas outside those proposed by the 2000 Water Map. These extensions were made in response to immediate threats to public health, safety and welfare and were consistent with the spirit and intent of the policies established through prior water supply studies and impact analyses. In 2006, the Town of Southold decided to formally amend the 2000 Water Map for two reasons; to reflect the physical changes made to the water supply network, as noted above; and, to set policy for the future water supply network in response to changing water supply needs and increased growth trends within the Town. The proposed Draft Water Supply Plan Map 2006, referred to hereafter as the 2006 Water Map, is the subject of this environmental review. A Part I Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) has been prepared to provide background for this action; this is included in Appendix A-I. In addition, a Part II EAF was prepared to assess the magnitude and importance of impacts (Appendix A-2). Since this is a town-wide initiative which involves policy regarding utility extension, the primary impact of concern involves growth potential in areas where water mains are proposed to be extended. As a result, a methodology has been developed to conduct a detailed assessment of this potential. Section 2.0 describes the review methodology. Section 3.0 defines specific terms pertaining to the water supply system. Sections 4.0 through 7.0 contain descriptions of the proposed changes in the water supply service and analyses of the potential impact of those changes. Section 8.0 contains the Summary and Conclusions. ~. !'ELSON I"OF'E C VOI::l"I-iIS LLC ENVIAC::NVENI'Al.' ~. C:CNSULTlNG Page 3 of 21 . Town of Sonthold Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . 2.0 METHODOLOGY The 2000 Water Map showed the location and extent of various elements of the water supply network as it existed at that time. The Map also indicated the location of projected future water supply lines. The 2006 Water Map shows additional proposed extensions of water supply by means of distribution lines and transmission mains (a new category of water supply line) beyond those shown on the 2000 Water Map. As noted earlier, not all of the proposed distribution extensions shown on the 2000 Water Map had been installed at the time the 2006 Water Map was created. Further, the 2006 Water Map does not indicate which portion of the proposed extensions were previously identified and adopted in the 2000 Water Map. Nor does the 2006 Water Map contain a listing or narrative description of the proposed extensions of service beyond those shown on the 2000 Water Map (i.e. the variations between the two maps were not specified). The 2000 Water Map was subject to SEQRA Review at the time of its adoption; and some of the additional extensions that occurred subsequent to the adoption of the map were reviewed subsequently. Copies of these prior SEQRA documents are included in Appendix B. This review focuses therefore on those extensions not previously considered. Since the SEQRA process requires clear identification (and assessment) of the actions proposed to take place over and above an already existing situation (or in this case a map) that was the subject of a prior SEQRA review, it is necessary to identify the site-specific changes between the two maps. In order to identify the actual changes between the 2000 Water Map and the 2006 Water Map, the maps were compared systematically on a street by street basis. Each variation was categorized, listed and coded with an identifying number or letter for reference as part ofthe analysis. The 2006 Water Map included the extension of two different types of water supply service lines: distribution lines and transmission mains. Consequently, the difference between distribution lines and transmission mains is defined for the purpose of this Water Map update and analysis (see Section 3.0). A list and description of the proposed extensions of water supply lines were identified by comparing the two maps. This was followed by a review of the growth-inducing potential of each proposed extension. A 2004 aerial photograph in conjunction with Suffolk County Tax Map of the Town were used to identify all properties contiguous to the proposed extensions. Tax and Zoning maps were used to identify the zoning of contiguous vacant and potentially subdividable properties. Where potentially subdividable land lay contiguous to proposed extensions of public water supply service, the Town's Zoning Map and the Town's Protected Lands Map were used to determine the added growth potential that might result from the adoption of 2006 Water Map. This information was used to determine the potential envirorunental impact of expanding public water supply service pursuant to the 2006 Water Map. .. Na.SQ\l1'OPE~~ISI...LC ENVlf'\CN"I.EM'AL.' F't...AI'.NII'iG . CONSUL TINe. Page 4 0121 . Town of Sonthold Review of 2006 Draft Water Snpply Map . 3.0 TERMINOLOGY As noted previously, the 2006 Water Map shows the existing and proposed public water supply network of distribution lines and transmission mains. For the purpose of this review, the two different types ofwater delivery infrastructure are defined below. Transmission Mains Transmission mains are designed to carry large volumes of water from well sites and pumping stations to the smaller distribution lines which deliver water into smaller geographic areas. Transmission mains convey water from the source to the primary distribution locales and help meet the projected demand for water, mitigate the impact of developing new sources of water supply within the Town, and help maintain adequate pressure, create proper fire protection for Cutchogue and improve circulation for the purpose of improving quality. (Correspondence: Stephen M. Jones, CEO, Suffolk County Water Authority, to Scott Russell, Supervisor and Members of the Southold Town Board, April 13, 2006.) The transmission mains being proposed (per the 2006 Water Map) are designed to provide water to existing developed areas. New connections (should they be sought) would require approval by the Town Board, by resolution, to amend the proposed 2006 Water Map. Through Town policy, the proposed transmission mains may not be accessed by new development on currently vacant or subdividable land contiguous to the mains unless the Town of Southold either previously authorized such a connection or votes in the future to allow such a connection. The anticipated result of this policy is no net effect on the aquifer because new connections would be offset by abandonment of existing private wells. The Suffolk County Water Authority, in its Findings Statement for its Five Year Plan, set forth a policy that the extension of water from transmission mains to undeveloped parcels would be withheld until the completion of a separate SEQRA analysis by the Town as lead agency. Undeveloped lands that are included within an Agricultural District (pursuant to New York Agriculture and Markets Law) would not be given water availability letters until a separate SEQRA analysis was performed by the Town, as lead agency, and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets was notified of the petition for public water. The SCWA's Five Year Plan (and subsequent SEQRA analysis) did not determine whether the SCW A's supply network could handle unlimited taps into the proposed transmission mains shown on the 2006 Water Map. Finally, transmission mains are shown in the vicinity of the Suffolk County Department of Health Service's Moratorium Area, outlined in purple on the 2006 Water Map. The Moratorium Area has been described as an area with compromised water quality due to past land use practice. Distribution Lines Distribution lines carry water from transmiSSIOn mains to individual points of delivery, typically to residential dwellings, but also to commercial and institutional users. Distribution lines are smaller diameter pipes and the movement of water within these pipes is a direct reflection of the point-of-use demand. Distribution lines are designed to facilit:!te the continual flow of water through the local system until it reaches the customer. ~.

Town of Southold Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . 4.0 PRELIMINARY IMPACT ANALYSIS The following observations were made for the purposes of preliminary impact analysis as a result of comparison of the two maps. The 2006 Water Map shows several existing distribution lines (which are shown on the 2000 Water Map as existing or proposed) where dead-end service lines had been eliminated by connecting that line to another existing line, thereby creating a continuous loop with the rest of the localized distribution system, and allowing water to flow continuously through the system. The extension of dead-end distribution lines for the purpose of eliminating them does not constitute a significant expansion of the public water system beyond the parameters of the 2000 Water Map for the following reasons: . The extensions took place within the existing distribution network of an already established, largely built-out neighborhood, . The extensions were of minimal distance, . The extensions did not provide water to further subdividable land, . The extensions were installed to protect the quality of water being delivered through the existing, local distribution system, thereby promoting and protecting public health, safety and welfare. Based upon the above, it was concluded that the extension of mains to eliminate dead-ended lines would not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. The 2006 Water Map also shows the proposed extension of new distribution lines to areas that were not included on the 2000 Water Map. These proposed extensions have the potential to service previously un-served areas and are considered as follows: The extension of new distribution lines for the purpose of servicing hitherto un-serviced, existing residential dwellings located within established neighborhoods or filed subdivision plats. These proposed extensions are listed and explained later in this document, from west to east and north to south. Most of these neighborhoods are largely built-out; and the vacant lots are part of individual filed subdivision plats and therefore do not represent a potential for increased development. As a result, extension of distribution service will not increase the existing potential for new re5idential development. At the same time, extension of distribution service will increase the potential public health, safety and welfare of the subject communities through the provision of potable drinking water from a public water supplier. Lastly, the proposed extensions of some of the new distribution lines were to residential neighborhoods shown on the 2000 Water Map and defined by the SCDHS as Prioritv Areas due to compromised water quality. It is noted that: . All Priority Areas were identified as such on the 2000 Map by dotted red lines. . None of the previously designated Priority Areas are identified as such on the 2006 Water Map; however, the 2006 Water Map proposes the extension of public water to all but one of the previously designated Priority Areas shown on 2000 Map. This Priority Area is Orient Village. . Each Priority Area contains within its boundary an established (largely developed) residential neighborhood where water quality currently is not meeting the New York State Drinking Water Standards due to contamination by pesticides or elevated nitrogen concentrations. . Each Priority Area was identified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Water Quality Monitoring Program to Detect Pesticide Contamination in Ground Waters of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, June 1999. ... r-e.SQ\l POPE & VlXAHlS I..L.(; G~NTAl-'~.c:ct'I$l-'l.TlNG Pa~e 6 of 21 . Town of Soulhold Review of 2006 Draft Waler Supply Map . 5.0 ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED TRANSMISSION MAINS & ASSOCIATED BRANCH DISTRIBUTION LINES The 2006 Water Map shows transmission mains in seven locations not shown on the 2000 Water Map. The 2006 Water Map does not identify which of these transmission mains currently exist or which are proposed. For the purposes of this review, newly proposed transmission mains are listed below in order from west to east, north to south, along with a description of the reasons for the proposed addition and/or extension. In general, it should be noted that new transmission lines improve system reliability. For evaluation, each proposed new line is identified with a number which corresponds to the labels on the Key Maps (Figures I through 3 which are included following the main text of this document). In addition, distribution mains which are to connect to these transmission lines are described. (Newly proposed distribution mains not associated with new transmission lines are discussed later in this document). Distances referenced below are approximate based upon measured street lengths using GIS. The estimated number of homes and vacant lots was determined based upon 2004 aerial photography and thus may not reflect current 2007 conditions but is a fairly close representation. #1. Along Sound Avenue (County Route 48) from a SCW A pump station located at the SoutholdlRiverhead Town line eastward for a distance of 1.5 milesl7,921 feet to the intersection with Cox Neck Road in Mattituck. . This proposed extension runs alongside land zoned A-C Agricultural Conservation (80,000 square foot minimum acreage per residential building lot), much of which is included within Agricultural District #1. . The proposed extension is designed to protect the public health, safety and welfare by ensuring adequate public water supply. . The proposed extension is in accordance with the SCW A's Five Year Plan, which indicates that SCW A has the right to purchase water from the Town of Riverhead Water District for the purpose of distribution within the Town of Southold. . The Findings Statement for the Adoption of the Five Year Water Supply Plan for the Town of Southold (which was the subject of an Environmental Impact Statement) acknowledges the potential impact of providing public water in this area as it could encourage the conversion of farm parcels to non-farm uses (as well as be inconsistent with the adopted Water Supply Map). To mitigate these potential impacts, these mains were specifically designed as transmission mains. o Additional mitigation measures suggested by the SCW A in its Five Year Plan included the adoption (bv the Town) of a policv which prohibits parcels that are within Agricultural District No. I or are undeveloped. from connecting to the main until an analvsis pursuant to the State's Agriculture and Markets Law (AML & 305) was conducted. o Another mitigation measure proposed by SCW A was for the Town to designate new areas on the Water Service Map with SCDHS approval as eligible to receive public water. The 2006 Water Map indicates that the proposed transmission mains are for existing private well connections on contiguous land only and that prior approval would be needed from the Town for new connections. -.. l\e\..sc:NF'Of'e&:~IS.LLC: t~........ ~ING. CONSULT"-G Page 7 of21 . Town of Sontbold Review of 2006 Draft Water Snpply Map . . This transmission main was approved by resolution of the Town Board (Resolution 2006- 450, May 9, 2006) pursuant to the Suffolk County Water Authority's request. This action was found to not have a significant adverse environmental impact. A copy of this resolution is included in Appendix B. . One, looped distribution line is proposed to branch off this transmission main, to service an existing neighborhood known as Farm Vue Estates). This neighborhood is located on the south side of Sound Avenue, adjacent to Aldrich Lane, Laurel. The distribution line will run from Sound Avenue south along Aldrich Lane for 1,831 feet to Harvest Lane where it will turn east along Harvest Lane, to service Farm Vue Road and Old Field Court before returning north to Sound Avenue. o This neighborhood is zoned A-C (80,000 square feet minimum acreage per residential building lot), and developed as a cluster subdivision that is completely built-out (48 homes); o There will be no connection down Aldrich Lane to SR 25; the two farm parcels abutting Aldrich Lane comprise 36.1 acres and are in Agricultural District #1. (SCTM # 1000-120.-3- 11.10& 11.11) o In accordance with its 2003 Five Year Plan, the SCW A will not issue water availability letters to land in an agricultural district without the completion of SEQRA by the Town and prior authorization of the NYS Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets that these lands are proposed for conversion to non-farm use. Therefore this new distribution line will not result in an increase in future development. #2. Along State Route 25 from the SoutholdlRiverhead Town line eastward for a distance of 1.04 miles/5,503 feet to the SCW A's Laurel Lake public supply well, located just north of the intersection ofSR 25 and the Long Island Rail Road overpass. . This proposed extension will provide a connection between the existing mains of the Town of Riverhead's Water Company, to the west, and the existing SCW A well site in Laurel. The proposed extension is designed to protect the public health, safety and welfare by ensuring adequate public water supply. This extension was reviewed as part of the SCW A's 2003 Five Year Plan and subject to an EIS process. There are no distribution lines proposed to branch off of this transmission main. As noted above, the only access that will be permitted to transmission mains is by existing residential wells. Extension of service to any currently vacant land will be subject to Town (as lead agency) SEQRA review; land within Agricultural District # I will be subject to further authorization by the NYS Commission of Agriculture and Markets. . . . . . . Therefore this new transmission line will not result in an increase in future development. #3. Along Grand Avenue and Reeve Road in a northerly direction beginning at a point about 925 feet south of the intersection of Grand Avenue with Mill Road and continuing along Reeve Road about 2,148 feet to Harbor View Avenue, along with a westerly extension along Mill Road for a distance of2,063 feet to the east side of Matti tuck Creek. ...

This proposed extension will allow for the movement of water from an existing (and proposed extension as shown on 2000 Water Map) distribution line on Grand Avenue past Mill Road and active farmland to two existing developed areas. . The first developed area adjacent to the proposed transmission main is north of Mill Road, on the east side of Mattituck Creek, and it will be accessed by a distribution line running the length of the cul-de-sac of Sebastian's Cove, a distance of 1,045 feet. a Sebastian's Cove is zoned R-80 (80,000 square feet minimum acreage per residential building lot). This neighborhood is completely built-out (12 homes); therefore the addition of this distribution line will not result in an increase in future development on Sebastian's Cove. a South of the intersection of Mill Road and Sebastian's Cove, there is a 23 acre wooded, waterfront parcel that is partly developed and further sub-dividable. This parcel is zoned R- 80 and could be subdivided into an estimated 10 additional residential lots. This parcel could potentially be developed to its full zoning density assuming a suitable water supply could be provided by private wells and as a result does not necessarily represent increased development potential due to installation of public water. . This parcel has been identified as being eligible for acquisition using funds from Southold's Community Preservation Program. . This parcel lies within Reach I of the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, and has frontage on Mattituck Creek. . The parcel abuts a developed property zoned Marine Business II and known as King's Dock. . The Mattituck Inlet Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat area lies approximately 300' due north of this parcel. . Issues of concern within Mattituck Creek (as per the Town's L WRP include protection of scenic vistas, and concern over water quality degradation due to stormwater runoff from residential and agricultural properties and seepage from residential septic systems. . The second developed area lies 2,138 feet north of the intersection of Mill Road an~ Grand Avenue/Reeve Road, in the vicinity of Harborview Avenue. a An additional 2.05 miles/IO,834 feet of distribution lines will branch off this proposed transmission main, to include the following streets: . Reeve Road' . Harbor View Avenue . Inlet View East . East Side Avenue . Bailie Beach Road . Lloyds Lane . Sound View Avenue' (as far as Saltaire Lane) . Saltaire Lane' . Wavecrest Lane* a The streets above that are marked with an asterisk lie in the northern-most part of this area, which was identified as a Priority Area by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services on the 2000 Water Map. a The distribution mains will service land zoned R-40 (40,000 square feet minimum acreage per residential building lot). a This neighborhood is largely built-out (31 homes built, 5 lots vacant, including at least 2 lots which are designated as preserved lands); therefore the addition of this distribution line will not result in a significant increase in future development particularly since private wells could potentially be used on vacant lots. ~ NaSON POPE C VClOF'HIS 1..l.C ~M1~N1'A1.'

Town of South old Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . o The transmission main extension proposed north of Mill Road will run alongside approximately 23 acres of active farmland which is unprotected and zoned R-80 and approximately 50 acres of protected farmland zoned R-80 and A-C. o The transmission main constrains development potential because, as noted above, the only access that will be permitted to transmission mains is by existing residential wells. o Extension of service from a transmission main to any currently vacant land will be subject to Town (as lead agency) SEQRA review; land within Agricultural District # I will be subject to further authorization by the NYS Commission of Agriculture and Markets. . Therefore this new transmission line and associated distribution will not cause an undue increase in potential development, will serve areas consistent with Town policy, will ensure protection of public health, and as a result, this action is not expected to result in a significant adverse environmental impact. #4. Along SR 25 at its intersection with Sunset Lane, Mattituck, and continuing eastward a distance of approximately 1,610 feet to Cardinal Drive in Mattituck. . This proposed extension will provide a connection between an existing transmission main at the intersection of SR 25 and Mill Lane, Mattituck and existing distribution lines servicing existing neighborhoods south of SR 25 a distance of 300 feet to the east (to Sunset and Marratooka Lanes, Cardinal Drive and Eastward Court). The zoning alongside the proposed transmission main is R-80 except at its intersection with Sunset Lane, which is zoned R-40. . Two extensions of distribution lines are proposed: to service existing homes located on the cul-de-sac of Village Lane and on Elijah's Lane north of its intersection with 25, but south of its intersection with the Long Island Rail Road's right-of-way. . The zoning of Village Lane is R-40. o Village Lane was identified as a Priority Area by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services on the 2000 Water Map. o The Village Lane neighborhood is built-out (26 homes built, I vacant lot), therefore the addition of this distribution line will not result in an increase in future development. . . The zoning of Elijah's Lane and the subdivision streets branching off it to the west (Tabor Road, Jeremiah's Lane, Rachel's Road) is R-40 and A-C. o The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has documented water quality problems with private wells. (Correspondence: Stephen Jones, CEO, SCW A to Scott Russell, Supervisor and Southold Town Board, May 31, 2006.) o The subdivision on the west side of Elijah's Lane consists of 49 lots, 45 of which are developed, therefore the addition of this distribution line will not result in a significant increase in future development since only a few infilllots remain vacant. o The subdivision on the east side of Elijah's Lane consists of 12 lots, 12 of which are developed. o There are three large lots fronting on the east side Elijah's Lane. Two of them (SCTM# 1000-108.-3.-5.44 and 5.45) are within Agricultural District #1 and are protected by Covenants and Restrictions against further subdivision. Therefore these two lots pose no significant development potential. The third lot, (SCTM# 1000-108.-3.-1) is 17.19 acres in area and lies with Agricultural District #1.

Along Duck Pond Road at its northerly intersection with Vista Point and Birch Lane for a distance of about 2,862 feet in a southerly direction to its intersection with Oregon Road, then along Oregon Road in an easterly direction for a distance of about 1,543 feet. . This proposed extension will provide a connection between an existing distribution line servicing existing homes within the SCDHS Moratorium Area, shown on 2000 Water Map, and existing neighborhoods to the east and north of Duck Pond Road. . This neighborhood, (from the intersection of Duck Pond Road and Oregon Road northward to Long Island Sound) was identified on the 2000 Water Map as a Priority Area by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. . Approximately 4,249 feet of new distribution lines will reach Birch Lane, Vista Point, Glen Court, Olivia Lane and Thar Lane. o This neighborhood is a partly built-out subdivision (28 homes built, 9 vacant lots); therefore the addition of this distribution line will not result in a significant increase in future development. o The zoning of the land contiguous to the proposed transmission main is A-C except for the northern most point of Duck Pond Road (e.g. Birch Lane, Vista Point, Glen Court) which is zoned R- 40. . This proposed extension of the distribution line is intended to service existing neighborhoods within the SCDHS Priority Area as shown on the 2000 Water Map. . The proposed extension is not intended to reach the Santorini Motel, off Duck Pond Road, on Long Island Sound. This motel is zoned Resort Residential (RR). Any expansion of the motel will require approval from the SCDHS for water and sanitary services and a separate SEQRA review. . The proposed extension is bordered on the east by a 31 acre parcel owned by Aliano that is vacant and further sub-dividable. Correspondence by Stephen Jones, CEO, SCW A, dated May 31, 2006, indicated that this property would not be served. . The southerly portion of the transmission main that runs east-west along Oregon Road, east of its intersection with Duck Pond Road borders two farmed properties. o The lot to the south, is with Agricultural District #1 and extension of service to this land will be subject to Town (as lead agency) SEQRA review; as well as further authorization by the NYS Commission of Agriculture and Markets. o The lot to the north, is in an "Individual Commitment" agricultural exemption. Individual commitments run for eight years, and are subject to penalties for early withdrawal, same as Agricultural District #1, but are not subject to extended review in accordance with Agriculture and Markets regulations for agricultural districts. (John Sepenoski, Deputy Supervisor, April 4, 2007.) Therefore this new distribution will not cause an undue increase in potential development, will serve areas consistent with Town policy, will ensure protection of public health, and as a result, this action is not expected to result in a significant adverse environmental impact. # 6 Along Depot Lane, beginning at its southerly intersection with School House Lane and continuing northward across the LIRR track to CR 48, at which point a short spur turns ... ~ f'Of'E ~ IIceA.IIs.

Eastward of the spur, the water main is proposed to continue easterly along CR 48 a distance of 6,313 feet to Bridge Lane, with a short spur running north up Cox Lane for a distance of 1,157 feet to Matthews Lane. At Bridge Lane, the main is proposed to run southward a distance of 5,197 feet to Bridge Lane's intersection with SR 25 in Cutchogue. Part of the CR 48/Bridge Lane Transmission main is actually a "transmission main extension". In 2001, the portion of the water main emanating from Evergreen Drive onto Depot Lane, up to CR 48, over to Cox Lane and north to Oregon Road was deemed by SCW A, pursuant to unilateral policy to be a transmission main. The Town of Southold had paid for the installation of this main in 1998. . It should be noted that the recently activated transmission main extension to Bridge and down to Main Road incorporated the Evergreen Drive pump station into the north fork system, removing it as a stand-alone pump station. This resulted in a dramatic improvement in water quality on north road as well as a significant improvement in water pressure for fire protection on the whole line and especially around the Cutchogue land fill and industrial enVIrons. . This proposed extension will eliminate the dead-end nature of the current network of distribution lines to the east and west of Cutchogue, and will enhance the ability to transmit water to areas around the landfill. . This proposed extension is the largest proposed addition of new transmission main. . This proposed extension will make public water available to the residents of Church Lane, between CR 48 and the Town's Sanitary Landfill; this is an existing community. . In 2004, permission was granted for the extension of a distribution line to service a fifteen acre Light Industrial subdivision, Tide Group, located at the northeast comer of CR 48 and Depot Lane. See Appendix B for written documentation pertaining to this previous amendment. . School House Lane was designated as a Priority Area on the 2000 Water Map. . The westerly jog from the intersection of Duck Pond Lane and CR 48 to Horseshoe Drive will service a second Priority Area (also designated as a Priority Area on the 2000 Water Map), which includes the following roads: o Horseshoe Drive o Gold Spur Street o Old Saddle Lane o Silver Colt Road Therefore this new transmission line and associated distribution lines will not cause an undue increase in potential development, will serve areas consistent with Town policy, will ensure protection of public health, and as a result, this action is not expected to result in a significant adverse environmental impact. #7.

Town of South old Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map NEWLY PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION LINES The descriptions of the seven proposed transmission main extensions above included a description of any proposed distribution lines that would branch off the new transmission mains. However, the 2006 Water Map also contains six additional proposed extensions of distribution lines. In four instances, the proposed extension will service existing residential development. In three cases, the proposed line extensions may create the potential for new residential development. The seven proposed extensions are identified and described in Table I below in the following order: the four extensions that will service already developed areas are listed first (A through D). The three areas where the proposed extensions may create development potential are listed as E through G.

The zoning along both sides of SR 25 is R-40; however the zoning on the north side ofSR 25 changes to R-80 approximately 350' north of Main Road. This is relevant because some of the lots are split-zoned. Several lots on the north and south sides of Main Road may be further subdividable.

Any future development of this land would require a separate SEQRA review b the Town as lead a enc . Page 14 of21 . Town of Sontbold Review of 2006 Draft Water Snpply Map . Analysis revealed that in two areas, described above as E and F, the Town should be aware of the potential subdivision growth due to new distribution mains that are proposed or existing. Potential growth in these two areas will be constrained by certain factors, described below: Area E Area E is listed on the Town's Community Preservation Project Plan map as a property that could be purchased using CPPP funds. Part of the golf course property is adjacent to Downs Creek and the New York State designated Downs Creek Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area. (Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Map ILJ-8.) Downs Creek is a New York State DEC open shellfish area. The golf course lies within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northeast Coastal Areas Study Ecological Complexes and a designated Critical Natural Resource area in the Peconic Estuary Program (Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Map II-14 in Section II Inventory. ) Within Area E, the issues of concern identified in the L WRP are preservation of water quality within the creek, preservation of scenic resources and over-intensification of waterfront development along with increased potential for increased septic flows into the groundwater and marine waters [L WRP, Section II.J.8.B.I.(iv)]. Area F Area F is primarily intended to serve the Hamlet at Cutchogue development. This site is zoned HD and for 20 years or more has been expected to be developed in conformance with this zoning due to it's proximity to the Hamlet ofCutchogue. Application for development was made in the late 1980's, though no final approval was given at that time. The application was re-activated in recent years and is currently pending review for site plan approval. A separate SEQRA review is being conducted by the Planning Board as lead agency. The project conforms to zoning and is in character with the Hamlet Study. The project will result in the addition of 139 residential units; however, given the long-standing zoning, separate SEQRA review and recognition of such development in the Southold Comprehensive Implementation Strategy (2003) and the Hamlet Study (2005), this distribution line extension is not expected to cause an undue increase in potential development, will serve areas consistent with Town policy, will ensure protection of public health, and as a result, this action is not expected to result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Lands adjacent to the distribution line extension on the south side of Schoolhouse Road are zoned primarily HB (Hamlet Business) and are within the Cutchogue hamlet center. These Ia.lds are proposed for increased density of development in conformance with the Hamlet Study and through consideration of a Transfer of Development Rights program that would shift density from inappropriate areas to hamlet centers. As a result, providing public water in this area is consistent with other Town land use policies. Lands adjacent to the distribution line extension on the north side of Schoolhouse Road are used primarily for agricultural purposes and zoned A-C, and can only be developed in conformance with this zoning district (80,000 SF lots), or are subject to further protection as noted below. Some of these lands have been protected through the Purchase of Development Rights, Agricultural District designation or individual commitment to provide tax incentives to support continued agricultural use. *V. f'ELsa'<PClf'e&vOO'....lIsu..c lr-M'lAO\JVENTAl... Pl..AI'.NlNI;il.CONSlA..Tlt'-G Page 15 of21 . Town of Sonthold Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . The development pattern which has been established for this area of the hamlet of Cutchogue will be further supported by this water main extension (Area F), particularly in consideration of the factors noted above. Area G Area G is adjacent to the New York State designated Orient Harbor Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northeast Coastal Areas Study Ecological Complex and the Orient PointIPlum Island Audubon Important Bird designation. Some of the land north of SR 25 fronts on Dam Pond, which is a New York State DEC certified shellfish area, as well as a designated Critical Natural Resource area in the Peconic Estuary Program [Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Map II-14 in Section II Inventory and Map IU.5.]. Within Area G, the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (CEHA) line runs within 100 to 300 feet landward of the shoreline on Long Island Sound except at Dam Pond where it moves landward behind the barrier beach. On Orient Harbor, the CEHA line west of Dam Pond's outlet to the bay is less than one hundred feet from the water's edge, and it runs behind the bulkheading for almost half the depth. This part of the shoreline is extensively fortified due to erosion issues [LWRP, Section II. J. Reach 5 A.13. (ii) and (iii)]. Parts of this area are shown as lying in both the AE and VE zones on the FEMA flood map (LWRP Map II-19). The L WRP Map II-17 notes this is an area of archeological sensitivity. Dam Pond is identified in Reach 4 [Section II.J. Reach 4, 2. (v) Protection of water quality, p. 20] as an area of concern in need of protection from stormwater runoff and from the introduction of septic wastes due to the limited flow of water in and out of the Pond. Scenic resources of Dam Pond (as seen from the road) also are considered of prime importance. Traffic management is an issue on this stretch of road, principally due to the increasing ferry traffic, and all proposed subdivision development would have direct access to SR 25. This is noted as an issue of concern in the L WRP. There is only limited potential for additional development, and any such use will have to conform to zoning and may require separate SEQRA review. Extension of distribution lines to this area is viewed as serving an area which requires water supply for existing development, and may cause some growth potential in a manner this is consistent with Town policy and zoning. In conclusion, the proposed distribution line extensions are not expected to cause an undue increase in potential development, will serve areas consistent with Town policy, will ensure protection of public health, and as a result, the extension of distribution lines noted herein is not expected to result in a significant adverse environmental impact. .,..

Town of Sonthold Review of 2006 Draft Water Snpply Map . 7.0 EXISTING DISTRIBUTION LINES The 2006 Water Map indicates several existing distribution lines that were not indicated as existing or proposed on the 2000 Water Map, but nevertheless were installed subsequent to adoption of the 2000 Water Map. These extensions were permitted by joint agreement of the Town Board and the sew A in response to specific situations. These extensions were addressed by agreement or resolution, not by a formal amendment of the 2000 Water Map. The Town Board resolutions or environmental findings of fact are noted in the following listing of these extensions, and those decisions which are available are included in Appendix B. Areas are described below from west to east and north to south and illustrated on Figures 1 thru 3. I. North Oakwood Lane, Laurel - 2,330 feet of distribution line was extended northward from Peconic Bay Boulevard in response to resident requests. II. Laurel Links, Laurel - 4,976 feet of distribution line was extended to Laurel Trail, Laurel Way, and Laurel Court to service approximately 30 lots, of which 16 have been developed. . This subdivision is unique in that it is surrounded by a private golf course which is an integral part of the subdivision and cannot be further subdivided. . Connection to the public water system was a mitigating measure that resulted from the Environmental Impact Statement that was prepared for this subdivision. III. Private Drive, Cutchogue . Approximately 1,000 feet of distribution line was extended to four existing houses north of New Suffolk Avenue, on the west side of Halls Creek. IV. Angel Shores, Southold . Approximately 3,909 feet of distribution line was extended to service a cluster subdivision encompassing 92.7 acres ofland to service 41 lots, of which 40 have been built. V. Zoumas and Hurtado Subdivisions, Hog Neck, Southold . Zoumas is a five-lot subdivision that included a 36.9 acre preservation component. . Hurtado is a five/six lot subdivision that included a 25.7 acre preservation component. VI. Pheasant Run (aka Cedarfields/Mooresland) Condominium, Greenport West . The 39 lot subdivision and 60 unit condominium development included its own water supply well, which was to be tied into the public water supply system (then owned by the Village of Greenport). Public water was required to be supplied as a result of litigation. This project received a Negative Declaration on July 19, 1989, which is included in Appendix B. . VII. Brown Street, Greenport West . 890' extension, serving 20 lots (19 existing homes and I apparent vacant lot) VIII. Fiddler Street, Greenport . The 2006 Water Map shows service to this street where no service was shown on the 2000 Water Map. This will primarily serve existing development. ~ f'S...SCN F'OF'e & VOOFIHIS LLC lii~N'TAl.-.Pl..AJ'l'.lING.CONs..A..TIt'-G Page 17 of21 . Town of Southold Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . IX. Summit Estates, Shipyard Lane, Greenport . This clustered subdivision of 35 lots on 40.8 acres within the R-40 zone received a Negative Declaration on August 13, 1990 based on a separate analysis. The determination is included in Appendix B. X. Church Lane, Cutchogue . As noted earlier, service was expanded to this neighborhood as part of the provision of water to homes located within the SCDHS Moratorium Area surrounding the Town's Sanitary Landfill. XI. Homestead Acres . This development is not illustrated as being served based on review of the 2000 Water Map, but is served based on the 2006 Water Map. This is an approved subdivision since 2000 that is mostly built out. The detailed review and comparison of the 2000 and 2006 Water Maps provides an opportunity to recognize and evaluate changes between the maps for the purpose of impact assessment and evaluation of growth potential. This section is primarily devoted to addressing discrepancies between the maps for projects which are already approved and mostly developed. As a result, the review of existing distribution line as shown on the 2006 Water Map is not expected to cause an undue increase in potential development, will serve areas consistent with Town policy, will ensure protection of public health, and is not expected to result in a significant adverse environmental impact. ..

Town of South old Review of 2006 Draft Water Supply Map . 8.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The following list summarizes the site-specific proposed expansions of public water that will be permitted pursuant to the adoption of 2006 Water Map. The analysis contained herein revealed that there are only two areas in the Town where the development potential will be significantly increased as a result of the expansion of water service (see numbers 3, 4 and 5 and letters E, F & G below). Any potential subdivision in these two areas would be subject to further SEQRA review and individual impacts analyzed on a site specific basis. Transmission Mains and affiliated distribution lines (see Section 5.0): #1 New distribution line off previously approved transmission line to service Farm Vue Estates. #2: Riverhead Town Line to Laurel Lake Well Site #3: Grand Avenue to Reeve A venue and Mill Road #4: Mill Lane, Mattituck to Sunset Lane, Mattituck and addition of a distribution lin~ along Elijah's Lane to LIRR right-of-way and track. #5: Duck Pond Road - Aliano #6: Upgrade of distribution line to a transmission main for Evergreen Drive well site to Matthews Lane, and addition of a transmission main elsewhere. #7: Mill RoadlPeconic Lane to Ackerly Pond to SR 25. New transmission main and new distribution lines. Distribution Lines onlv (See Section 6.0): # 3 Mill Road south of Sebastian's Cove E. Southern half of Moores Lane, Cutchogue, south of Country Club Drive. a. 3,331 feet of line will run through property owned by the North Fork Country Club. The land is used as a golf course. The club is a private membership club and the golf course is not protected from future development should the Country Club disband. F. Schoolhouse Lane and Griffing Road. a. 780 feet of line will be provided from Main Road north on Depot Lane to Schoolhouse Lane, then 1,137 feet will be provided west from Depot Lane to the Hamlet at Cutchogue development. The project conforms to a long-standing zoning designation for the site and is being evaluated through separate SEQRA review. Provision of public water along Schoolhouse Road facilitates Hamlet Study planning and other related programs G. State Route 25 in East Marion, between Trumans Path and the Dam Pond Bridge, just we,t of the Orient Causeway. a. 1,153 feet ofline will be extended from Trumans Path to the Dam Pond Bridge. b. The zoning along both sides of SR 25 is R-40; however the zoning is R-80 for areas approximately 350' north of Main Road. c. Several lots on the north and south sides of Main Road may be further subdivided. Based upon conservative estimates, these nine lots if subdivided could yield up to 27 lots. The Town should be aware of the potential subdivision growth in this area due to new distribution mains that are proposed or existing. It is the conclusion of this analysis based on the information provided herein, that the proposed adoption of the 2006 Water Map will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts and will in fact have significant public health, safety and welfare benefits. .,.. r-ELSO'lFOF'l1&VOQF"..lISI..L.C ",NVlA~NTA!.-'~II'IG'~su..T1'G Page 19 of21 . . ..

The questIOn of whether an action may be si!l!l\ficant IS not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are sultiective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determme significance may nave little or no tarmal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in envIronmental analysis. In addition, many who have kriowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concern affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the ~etermin!ltion process. has bCC!l orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of mformatlOn to fit a project or actIOn. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts. Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reVIewer in the analysis that takes place ill Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifyiJJ.g the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides ~idance as to wliether an im.p.act is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The form also loentifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Pary 3: If '!lly impact.in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the Impact IS actually Important. SEQR DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE - TYPE 1 AND UNLISTED ACTIONS IdentifY the Portions of EAF completed for this project: ...K-Part 1 -X-Part 2 ---K-Part 3 (June 14, 2007) Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts I and 2 and 3 if ap'propriate), and any other sUf,porting information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of eacn impact, it is reasonably de erminen by the lead agency that: X A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negatIve declaration will be prepared. B. Althou~ the pr~ect could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a signifjcant - effect or this n1isted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 luive been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared. * C.

The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of Impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But. for any specific project or site other examples andlor lower thresholds may be appropriate for a Potential Large Impact response. thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. The impacts of each project, on each site, in eech locality, will vary. Therefore. the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guldence. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer eech questlorl. The number of examples per question does not indicate the Importance of each question. In Identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects. Instructions (Reed carefully) a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact. b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)1a indicate the potential size of the Impact. If Impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If Impact will occur but threshold is lowerthan example. check column 1. d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it Is also necessarily significant Any large Impact must be evaluated in PART 3to determine significance. Identifying an impect in column 2 simply esks that it be looked atturther. e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. f. If a potentially lerge impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) In the project to a smallla moderate impact. also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must be explained in Part 3. Impact on Land 1. Will the Proposed Action result in a physical change to the project site? No0 VES 0 Examples that would apply to column 2 Any construction on slopes of 15% or greater, (15 foot rise per 100 foot of length), or where the general slopes in the project area exceed 10%.

Reasons Supporting This Determination: An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed. No sensitive features exist on site. The determination was based upon the following: . . SEQRA Neaative Declaration - Paae Two As ouUined in the Environmental Assessment Review North Fork Industrial Park @ Cutchogue prepared by Nelson pope and Voorhis, dated November 19, 2004 (attached) ; no sianlficant adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; increase in solid waste production; increase in potentlai for erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems are expected to occur if the proposed action is implemented as planned. The site was historically in agricu~ure, currently, the area is vegetated with early successional species. Adjacent properties to the west and north are in agricultural use. County Road 48 abuts the property to the south and the Town of Southold Compost Facility abuts the property to the east. Therefore, no removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna will occur. Additionally, no substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; impacts on a significant habitat area; substantial adverse Impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse Impacts to natural resources will occur. No Critical Environmental Area as designated pursuant to subdivision 617 .14(g) is contiguous with the parcel. The property is zoned LiO and L1. The proposed action is not in a sianificant material conflict with a community's current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted. The action proposes vegetated buffers along public roads to mitigate developmental 1mpacts. The proposed action will not significantly impair the character or quality of important historical, archaeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character. No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur. No creation of a hazard to human health is expected to occur. The proposed action will not cause a substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land Including agricultural. open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to support existing uses. Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to occur should the project be implemented as planned.

SCli\J No.: 1000-125-3-13.15 & 17 1000-125-4-21 &24 I 1000.126-7.1 Reasons Supporting This Determination: l. The application has been reviewed pursuant to the Criteria for Detennination of Significance contained in Part 617.7. Consideration has been given to infonnation supplied by the applicant including a Environmental Assessment Fonn: Part III. 2. The Pan rrr includes extensive data and analysis of the potential impacts associated with the proposed project. The document analyzes topographic and grading impacts, site ecology and habitats including wetlands, potential groundwater and surface water impacts, archaeological resource issues, transportation issues and land use and zoning, and also provides mitigation measures to minimize potential impacts that are inherent in the project. 3. Topography and Grading. The cut and fill quantities on site will be balanced such that there will be no importation or exportation of material. The Town has received a subdivision plan and a site plan which will be subject to detailed engineering and drainage review to ensure that the project conforms with Town drainage and grading requirements. 4. Geology and Soils. The site plan includes drainage and erosion conlrol measures to ensure that erodable soils do not cause sediment transport or sedimentation. Natural buffers are provided around sensiti vc site features such as wetlands, and all buffers will be maintained within open space parcels, while erosion conlrol measures will be implemented as part of the site development plan. The project- will include the preparation of a Storm Water PoDution Prevention Plan to be incolporated into site plan applications. 5. Ecology and Wetlands. Based on the plan 38.49 acres of open space will be preserved on the subject parcel. A 20.09 acre area will encompass the freshwater wetland feature at the southwest pan of the site, with substantial setbacks and buffer area protection included. No activity will be permitted to occur within 75 feet of the wetlands, a setback area that will be preserved as a naturally vegetated buffer. The action is not expected [0 require a Town Trustees wetlands pennit under Chapter 97 as activity is 7S feet from the wetlands; however, the Trustees should be contacted to verify this. The action will require a NYS Pap %.(4 . . .. Oetermination o(Significance . ellinks Subdivbion aDd Site Plan. Marti Department of Environmental Conservation Wetlands Pennit under Article 24, prior 10 any activity occurring with 100 feet of NYS designated freshwater wetlands. Nearly 4 acres of additional surface waters wiII be created on the site, and some ecological value is expected to be derived from these features. A landscape plan will be required as pan of the site plan review process to ensure that appropriate species and transitions between surface water and turfed areas are provided. (,. Water Resources. A detailed Integrated Turfgrass Management Plan was developed including appropriate pest management practices, fertilizer management practices, soil sampling and risk assessment. The Superintendent of lhe golf courase will follow best management practices using the Integraled Turfgrass Management Plan. Potential impacts were evaluated using mass-balance nitrogen load simulation and a complete groundwater resource evalualion. and it was determined that the project would n'-l adversely affect groundwater. Surface water would be created on the site in the fonn of ponds, and existing surface waler and wetlands on site would be buffered. The owner/operator of the golf course will enter into joint agreement with the Town and the Suffolk County Water Authority for continued groundwater monitoring of the golf course. 7. Historic/Archaeological Resources. A Stage IAIIB cultural resource assessment was completed including archival search and systematic subsurface tesling of the property with screening of soils for cultural evidence. No significant cultural material was found and based on a study which conforms to recognized methodologies. it was concluded that Ihe project would not impacl historic or archaeological resources. 8. Transportation Resources. Project generated traffic was determined using trip generation factors applied to the development components. The site access is not at a congested location and adequate sight distance and road curvature is present in the design to allow safe ingress/egress at the site. The NYS Dept. of Transportation will review and approve the road opening application. 9. Land Use and Zoning. The density of the project is consistent with zoning. The residential use is clustered to provide S1UI'OWlding open space. Overall 38.49 acres of open space will be preserved, nol including the golf course. The golf course use will minimize structural improvements on the site and will provide an appropriate transition with adjacent uses. Based upon a detailed evaluation of the potential impacts of the proposed project, and in comparing the project and this evaluation to the criteria for determining significance contained in SEQRA Part 617.7, it is determined that the project will nol cause significanl adverse impact on the environment and a Negative DecllUlltion should be issued.

Greenport, Town of Southold, County of Suffolk, New York. Suffolk County Tax Map Number 1000-40-5-1. Page 1 ot 4 . . . . Town of Soutbold SBQR Negative Declaration Project Description: The proposed construction of no more that 100 residential units on a 48.718 acre parcel, zoned "HD" Hamlet DenSity, located in Greenport, Town of Southold. Project involves a proposal to construct 39 residential dwellings (utilizing 26.463 acres of the site), on 20,OOOi square foot lots, to be sold as "affordable units". In addition, 60 townhouse units are proposed to be constructed (utiliZing 22.255 acres of the site), in 15 4-unit bUildings, with amenities and recreational facilities. The project will be "self-sustained" in terms of water supply, and will utilize on site sanitary disposal, in accord with SCDRS Article 6. All necessary rosds, recharge, utilities, etc.. will be provided. Reasons Supporting This Deter.ination: This determination is issued in full consideration of the criteria for determination of significance contained in 6 NYCRR Part 617.11. In addition, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (OBIS) been prepared and accepted by the Planning Board, a hearing on the DEIS has been held, and a 30-day comment period has been provided, in order to consider relevant comments on the DEIS. This Negative Declaration is issued in compliance with Part 617.8(e)(1)(ii), and in full consideration of the DEIS, the fact that no aubstantive testimony was received regarding the DEIS, and based upon the following specific reasons supporting this determination: 1) The project has been minimized to the maximum extent practicsb1e through the use of mitigation measures to be reflected on the final subdivision map which will be submitted to the Planning Board for review and approval, in accordance with the documentation contained in the DEIS. 2) The project has received approval from the Village of Greenport, for a Water Agreement. The project is to be "self-sustained", in terma of water supply, through the on-site installation of water supply wells, in accordance with the amended regulations of the Greenport Water Department. The project will provide it's own source of water supply, and in addition will augment the Page 2 of 4 . . . -. Town of Southold SBQR Negative Declaration water supply of the District through installation of an on site well field. The installation of a water supply well on the subject site has received approval from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), subject to special conditions included in the permit. 3) The project design has been "clustered", in order to maintain approximately 40X of the property in natural vegetation (inclUding well site, and private covenanted buffer zones). This will tend to minimize impact upon vegetation and wildlife, visusl resources, and groundwater recharge. 4) The project will provide 39 single family "affordable housing" units, and 60 townhouse units, in the Town of Southold, in order to creatively fulfill local hOUSing market needs. Covenants and restrictions shall be imposed by the Planning Board at the time of subdivision approval, in order to ensure that the intent of the Town with regard to providing affordable housing is met. 5) The impact of the proposed project upon groundwater has been assessed in the DEIS, and found not to be significant. In addition, the project conforms to the denSity limitations of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) as contained in Article 6 of the Sanitary Code for on-site sewage disposal. The project must receive approval from SCDHS, an involved agency, for sanitary disposal and water supply. 6) The applicant has provided a Traffic Impact Study, which indicates that the traffic volume generated by the proposed project can readily be accoaaodated by the existing roadway network. 7) In addition to the covenants and restrictions pertaining to affordable housing, the applicant has agreed to impose additional covenants on individual lots which will further mitigate environmental impacts. These are as follows: a) All scenic easements showing on the final approved subdivision map will be forever left in their natural state and will included in each individual survey. If an easement is removed in any manner, the owner of the individual parcel shall be obligated to replace same at his or her own expense within 30 days of the removal and no later than 90 Page 3 of .. . . ~ ~ Town of 80u~hold SBQR Negative Declaration days thereafter. b) All lawns will be kept fertilized by organic means only and no commercial chemical sprays are to be applied. The purpose is to reduce sharply the amounts of nitrates entering the water table. 8) The DEIS investigated impacts upon community services, land use and zoning, demographic and cultural resoul'ces, and found thst no significant impact upon identified resources would be expected in conjunction with this project. 9) The project aust conform to zoning and regulatory requirements for setback and dimensional require.ents, stormwater containment, road construction, sidewalk installation, and approval by the Town's Consulting Engineer.
