This report is intended to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (as defined in ASTM Standards on Environmental Site Assessments for Commemial Real Estate) on the subject property based on the four (4) basic components of a Full Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA): records review, site reconnaissance, interviews_and evaluation and reporting. The subject property lies in the Town of Southold, County of Suffolk, New York. The subject property is a 71.4 acre parcel of land located on the south side of Sound Avenue where it splits from Middle Road (CR 48). The property is more particularly described as Suffolk County Tax Map No. 1000-121-05-4.1. This report is being completed on a 69.4 acre portion of the property. The two (2) acres surrounding the existing house and barns are not included in this report. The inspection conducted on the subject property revealed the property consisted of vacant fallow land. Remnants of past agricultural uses were observed throughout the property. Several trails transversing the property were maintained. An empty 1,000 gallon storage tank and steel I- beams and trusses were located off the southeast comer of the barn. No staining or stressed vegetation was observed in the vicinity of the tank. The majority of the property had flat topography; however, the southern portion sloped down to the south. A small pond, located in the west central portion of the property has been utilized as a gathering spot for neighboring children is evidenced by the couch and beer bottles. Several old car hulks are located in the west and south central portions of the property. No visible staining was noted in the area of the car hulks. The remnants of what appeared to be an old farm dump were observed in the west central portion of the property. This area contained a rested empty drum and several empty five (5) gallon rested metal pails. No indicators of environmental conditions such as dumping, staining, residue, odors, or stressed vegetation were observed, except as previously noted. No buildings or foundations were observed on the vacant portion of the subject property which is the subject of this report. An extensive government records search found no potential sources of environmental degradation on the site. Several Federal, State and County documented regulated sites were noted in the vicinity of the subject property. Specifically, twelve (12) spill incidents were located within one-half (0.5) mile and one (1) RCRA Generator is located in close proximity of the subject property. Adamowicz Property, Mattituck Phase I ESA In conclusion, this assessment has revealed evidence of the following recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property, subject to the methodology and limitations of this report. The 1,000 gallon storage tank and steel I-beams and trusses should be removed and properly disposed of. Once the tank is removed, the under side of the tank and the ground beneath the tank should be visually inspected to determine if any prior releases had occurred. The cars hulks located in the west and south central portions of the property should be removed and properly disposed of. The old farm dump should be investigated to deterrmne if any hazardous materials were deposited in the dump area.

The Parks Department would like to be involved with the planning process. It may then be a good idea to get all the landowners together at least once. Parks staff would be available to meet with you in Southold, if you would like to schedule something after January . Very truly yours, n ~ommissioner JAG/tk Cc: William Sickles, Sr. Superintendent Nicholas Gibbons, Environmental Analyst SUFFOLK COUNTY PARKS THE LAUREL LAKE PRESERVATION AND TRAIL PLAN The Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk are proposing to preserve a 71.4- acre parcel (Adamowicz property, SCTM#1000-121-5-4.1) located on the South side of C.R. 48 (north Road) and Sound Avenue and a 25 acre parcel (McFeely property, Part of SCTM#1000-125-1-14) located on Route 25, in the hamlet of Mattituck, Town of Southold, as part of the Laurel Lake Preservation Plan. The owners, the Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk have agreed on the appraised price of $27,000 per acre on the Adamowicz Property and $60,000 per acre on the McFeely Property. The Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk have signed Contracts of Sale on the Adamowicz Property and are expecting receive the signed McFeely Contract of Sale, in June 2003. This property is being purchased, in partnership with the County of Suffolk, with funding from the Suffolk County Drinking Water Protection Fund and the Southold Town Community Preservation Fund. The funding for this important acquisition is in place and readily available, to the Town of Southold and County of Suffolk. The subject properties are part of the Laurel Lake Preservation Plan and their acquisition will protect over 520 acres of land around Laurel Lake. Our goal is to link all of the preserved land in the "newly created" Laurel Lake Preserve, with a trail system and the subject parcels are key acquisitions, in this plan. The Town of Southold will take the lead in designing, creating and maintaining the trail system, linking all of the preserved parcels, around Laurel Lake. The Town of Southold is requesting grant funding for the trail design and site improvements and the Town's match is in place and available from the Southold Community Preservation Fund. The property owners in the Laurel Lake Preservation Plan include the State of New York, Suffolk County Parks, the Suffolk County Water Authority, Southold Town, the Mattituck Park District and agricultural lands protected by the acquisition of development rights. The project area is highlighted for protection in the New York State Open Space Conservation Plan, under two categories: the Long Island Pine Barrens Maritime Reserve and the Special Groundwater Protection Area/Recharge Area. In addition, the project area is slanted for protection in the Suffolk County Drinking Water Protection Plan, the Southold Watershed Protection Plan, the Peconic Bay Maritime Reserve Area and the Southold Town Community Preservation Plan. The Laurel Lake Preserve has numerous and diverse ecological areas ranging from open grasslands, an old overgrown orchard and vineyard, areas in the first stage of successional growth, mature woodlands, freshwater wetlands and Laurel Lake. The properties surrounding Laurel Lake contain exceptional scenic, biological and recreational opportunities and this proposal seeks funding to design and construct parking areas, restroom facilities and a trail system, as part of an overall management plan; linking all of the preserved parcels and Laurel Lake, into a passive recreational preserve. The goal is to provide the public with opportunities to hike along the trails, horse back ride in the open fields and non-hiking trails, fish, kayak & canoe in Laurel Lake and photograph and observe the flora and fauna through out the preserve. The Town of Southold will build two stone blend parking lots for access to the Laurel Lake Preserve. One parking lot will be located on the Adamowicz Property, on Sound Avenue and the other will be located on the Town of Southold's property, on Route 25. The McFeely property will have a small restroom facility and the existing dilapidated dock on Laurel Lake will be replaced. Several trails (old unpaved farm roads) now meander through the property and these trails will be improved and linked to the other preserved parcels and Laurel Lake. The trail system will allow visitors the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the preserve, without jeopardizing the existing natural resources. The trail system will be located away from fragile areas and constructed in a manner that provides a safe recreational opportunity for visitors and is resource compatible. The trails will be designed, constructed and maintained according to the standards of the USDA Forest Service specifications. The trailhead will have a covered kiosk to display a map of the entire preserve (520 acres), the trail system and the natural features (plant communities, shrubland, wetlands and forest habitat), on the site. Several small kiosks will be located along the trails to give the public information on the various flora and fauna communities that are found in the preserve. The hiking trails will be unpaved and cleared in manner sensitive to the environmental resources. The existing open grasslands will be maintained and several shrubland fields will be cleared, in areas that were previously farmed, to provide more diversified wildlife habitat. The Laurel Lake Preserve will be open to the public from dawn to dusk, 365 days a year and will provide opportunities for the public to enjoy a high-quality recreational, educational, ecological and aesthetic resource. PROJECT NARRATIVE SUMMARY The Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk propose to acquire 95.4 acres of environmentally sensitive land and incorporate it into the Laurel Lake Preserve. This purchase will enable the Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk to link the other preserved parcels through a trail system. The trail will be designed, constructed and maintained by the Town of Southold, creating a 520-acre passive recreation park which will encompasses most of the land surrounding Laurel Lake.

Caracciolo (R-Baiting Hollow) announced at a Friday, March 26 Press Conference that the County, in conjunction with the Town of Southold, has acquired the highly prized 69.4-acre Adamowicz Property in Mattituck. Legislation to acquire this environmentally important parcel was sponsored by Legislator Caracciolo. Under the partnership between Suffolk County and the Town of Southold, Suffolk will purchase 59.4-acres of the Adamowicz Property with the Town of Southold purchasing the remaining ten acres. The 69.4-acre purchase was approved under Suffolk County's Water Protection Fund - Open Space Preservation Program. The property, which lies on the south side of Sound Avenue in Mattituck, was valued at $27,000 per acre with a total purchase price of just over $1.6 million. As per an agreement between Suffolk County and Southold, the town will designate the parcel as a nature preserve and passive recreational area. Noting the importance of this acquisition to both Suffolk County and the Town of Southold, Legislator Caracciolo explained that the parcel would stay completely undeveloped. "The acquisition of Adamowicz Property goes a long way in ensuring such important properties will be preserved for future generations," he said. "The property will thusly remain a natural habitat for various wildlife and migratory birds." Southold Supervisor Josh Horton agreed, adding, "This is a landmark acquisition that further promotes passive outdoor recreation, groundwater protection and the fostering of the natural habitat of ecologically sensitive areas. Southold will forever benefit from this initiative." 423 GRIFFING AVENUE - SUITE 2 RIVERHEAD, NEW YORK 11901 N E W S A R T I C L E S COMMUNFTY INSIDE: Classified Health.

Since Camp Malloy closed in the early 1970s, residents have en- joyed wandering through the old campgrounds and trails, even though the property remained in private ownership. But late last month, the town agreed to purchase those 31 acres to preserve one of the last un- developed parcels surrounding the lake. In the last 15 years, over 500 acres in the Laurel Lake area have been preserved through county, state and Southold Town preservation efforts, ac- cording to Melissa Spiro, Southold's land preser- vation coordinator. In April 2004, the county and here's much more to the land surround- ing Laurel Lake than meets the eye. The most noticeable part is the ll-acre strip between the lake's south shore and it lie Hidden Hikes town jointly purchased the 70-acre Adamowicz property just south of Sound Avenue. The Suffolk County Water Authority also owns a 90-acre well field east of the lake. The town plans to map and mark the existing 14 miles of trails and incorporate them into Laurel Lake Park, but, for now, it advises people to keep off the property until it is ready for public use. Yet the trails are there and people are using them. The entrance to Laurel Lake Park is visible from Main Road. It consists of the information center, two baseball fields and a play- ground. The road to the lake is left of the ballfields, and it leads to a parking lot. From there, a short walking trail makes a straight path to the lake. Laurel Lake is a kettle hole, or a circular fresh- water lake formed by the glaciers' retreat 10,000 years ago. It sits atop the underground aquifer that supplies all of Southold with its drinking water and is home to perch and trout. A New York State fish- ing license is required to fish in the lake and can be obtained at the Town Clerk's office. At the edge of the lake, a well-worn path to the right leads up into what was once Camp Malloy, which was operated by the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Old "No trespassing" and "No hunting" signs, di- lapidated wooden shacks and patches of concrete now overgrown give the property an eerie, you- shouldn't-be-here quality. Fallen trees outline the path to the first camp house. Only three of the gut- ted house's four sides remain. Graffiti and bullet holes decorate the yellowed wood-shingle siding.

At intervals, the paths are wide and fiat enough for one car and have man- made dirt bumps, reminding hikers that this is very much off-road racing country. For the most part, though, the narrow trails cut so deep that they look like abandoned slalom or bobsled track~ Heading directly west, at least three paths branch out in different directions just after another old camp building. Along one of these are the remnants of paved roads that nature is slowly reclaiming. Eight-foot pine trees jut out from one slab of concrete, and among the cracks of another are the beg. innings of another pine, still only s~x mches tall. The cement-lined trail passes though a shady plot of forest before opening up to a clearing of sunburnt long grass. The path forks at a tall, rusted flagpole a third of the way into the clearing. Taking the left fork back into the forest cover, there is light, and it is easy to think that you have arrived at the edge of the lake. Instead, the forest drops down into ar~ immense sea of sand. It is one big bowl of fine, clean sand divided into three sections by patches of half covered trees and shrubs. Like a military-style food plate, one of the three sections is bigger than all the rest. ATV and dirt bike tracks cover every inch of the pit, giving the sand a rippling, wind-swept desert feel. The sand, deposited by glacial melt, was once mined, though the practice is now illegal in Southold Town. Toward the northwest, another pit has formed a depression now filled by.ra'.mwater. Small tadpoles and fish swnn m the dark brown watem Beyond the second sand pit, there are more paths and more forest. It's easy to spend an entire after- noon following the many winding paths around Laurel Lake, and with the town planning to map and mark exisiting trails, it will soon be easier to get out of the woods before dark.
