6.0 CONCLUSIONS
There are no Recognized Environmental Conditions present at the site or its immediate
vicinity which could adversely impact upon its environmental quality. No releases of chemicals were
noted during the site inspection, nor were any documented releases identified in records maintained
by any public agencies having jurisdiction over the subject property. After visually inspecting the
property and surrounding land, it is also our opinion that this property will not be impacted by
releases of chemicals in the foreseeable future.
Based on the findings described above, ACT concludes that the Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment of the property has revealed no substantial evidence of material contamination of the
property (within the scope of this assessment) and no further assessment work is necessary in order
to evaluate the environmental condition of the property.

A more detailed description of the above mentioned parcel of land is on file in Land Preservation
D~partment, Southold Town Hall, Feather Hill Annex, Southold, New York, and may be examined by
any interested person during business hours.
Dated: May 9, 2002
By order of the Southold Town Board of the Town of Southold, May 9, 2002. Elizabeth A. Neville,
S6uthold Town Clerk.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I have before me a notice that this official notice has been published in
the Suffolk Times newspaper and it has also been published on the bulletin board of the Town Clerk so
that everybody can have access to the information in this public heating.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: At this point if there are any questions about this purchase, I would offer
the floor to anyone who would like to address the Town Board. Melissa, do you have anything that
you would like to set forth? Just to give you a little insight into what this particular portion is, this is
Melissa Spiro, she is the Coordinator for Land Preservation or Community Preservation Fund of
Southold which is basically a bank of money that we utilize to purchase open space.within Southold
vn and Melissa Spiro is in charge of that. She is the director and does all the coordination with the
~ous entities and the research necessary to accomplish these goals of open space preservation and
what we are talking about this afternoon is the purchase of a piece of property that will be in
p~ership with the Town of Southold and Suffolk County in East Marion. I don't know if you are
~liar with the Dam Pond area but if just as soon as you get on the Causeway heading east on the
N~i'th Road, it's that piece of property just to your lefl, that large pond in the heavily wooded area
there. So we are in the midst of purchasing that piece of property in a partnership with the County.
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: I think just to add one little better location mark. You may know where
Secret Beach is. I know in Greenport that was pretty well known years ago, so it is just east of Secret
Beach.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Councilman Richter is dating himself because Secret Beach has been
closed for about 20 years.
~LISSA SPIRO: Good Aflemoon, Supervisor Horton and members of the Town Board. First I
~ld like to apologize for the map. You can't see the map because I put it so that the students could
ai~l i also apologize because it seems like the base lines are not.. so dark, I'm not sure why but you can
ki~d of make out where the property is due to the colors. The property that is the subject of today's
h~tring is part of the Dam Pond area that has been on the Town's priority acquisition list for many
~efirs. There are two different properties involved in the acquisition. One tax parcel is approximately
14~99 acres in area and is located on the north side of the Main Road approximately 1900 feet east of
the intersection of Stars Road and Main Road. This property is the large red rectangle shown on the
map. There is another parcel that is the beach parcel and that is the very small red parcel and that
totals about .54 acres. It is located between Dam Pond and Long Island Sound. It is actually a beach
parcel. This parcel was formally two separate parcels, SCTM #1000-23-1-3.4 & 23-1-20 that were
combined recently due to a change in ownership. The heating notice and the prior resolutions in
regard to this purchase refer to this beach parcel as two separate parcels but as I explained they are now
combined to one parcel. The purchase is important because it is located within an area of land akeady
preserved through Town, County and private easement efforts. In 1999 the Town and County jointly
3
preserved the adjacent 21 acre peninsula area shown in the light blue on the map. The Town has
already started developing trails in this area. The access to the existing preserved property is over the
property that is the subject of today's hearing. In addition to being adjacent to the existing preserved
Dam Pond property the subject property is adjacent to nearly 100 acres of property to the west on
which there is a private conservation easement to the Peconie Land Trust and that property is shown in
the sandy color and I can see that that is really hard to see that but it kind of surrounds the blue and the
red parcel. The acquisition of the subject land allows for the establishment of a nature preserve, a
passive recreational area and limited parking for access purposes all in conjunction with the peninsula
land currently owned jointly by the Town and the County. In November of 2001, the Town Board held
a public hearing in regard to the purchase of the subject parcels and elected to purchase them in
partnership with the County as tenants in common for $950,000. Due to new considerations, the
property has changed a bit or actually the project has changed a bit, the property stayed the same,
n6eessitating a new public hearing and that is what we are having today. The current proposal is to
buy the same amount of land but for the Town to purchase the 14.99 acre the large red parcel in
parmership with the County as tenants in common for $946,000 and for the Town to purchase on its
own without the County partnership the beach parcel for $4,000. The Land Preservation Committee
h~ reviewed the proposed purchase and the Committee and I both support the acquisition of this
imPortant property and recommend that the Town Board proceed with the proposed acquisition. I
would also like to thank the Pecouic Land Trust and especially Tim Caulfield for his dedication and
hard work over the years, really long-a lot of time, in helping make this purchase become a reality.
Thank-you.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anybody else from the public care to address the Town Board on
this public hearing?
JOAN EGAN: Good Afternoon everybody. My name is Joan Egan, I think that I know most of you-
[~ hear me honking my horn quite frequently-giving you a wake-up. Good Afternoon Josh, Mr.
~hter, Mr. Moore, Miss Evans, Mr. Wickham, Mr. Romanelli and Mr. Yakaboski. Did I get it right?
Y~is, as far as if we are talking about the same thing this is the parcel there by the school where you
want to...I went to that public meeting in Orient. Now I may be wrong here so stop me if I am.
Where they want to put the ball field?
S~ERVISOR HORTON: I don't mean to interrupt you but you are speaking about a different parcel.
JOAN EGAN: Oh, that is what confused me because I understood that you were going to rent part of
it or ...
SUPERVISOR HORTON: No, this is an entirely different property, Mrs. Egan.
JOAN EGAN: Okay, well then I will go further on to say that any park any property that the Town
acquires is a site for children to be on and to walk and explore, correct? And with what is going on in
our Town which is getting worse and worse and worse you are going to need security. Our Police
!~6[ce is way, way down we have a number of people out, there are vacations. I think that I addressed
~' fact that you were sending someone away in June, which is wrong in my estimation. So I think that
it is great the Town acquires, I think it is great that the County supports it but I think that you have to
lofk into it very carefully for the protection of the people that use it. That regard for insurance for
4
anything. We do not have enough Police to protect these places and we are in trouble. We don't want
any of you to get into any further trouble, do you? Thank-you.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, Mrs. Egan. Is there anybody else who would like to address
the Town Board on the Dam Pond purchase? Well, I am excited about this purchase. This is one that
has been in the works for quite some time and thanks again to Melissa and Tim with the Peconic Land
.T~flst for hanging in there and working with the County to make that possible.

Clerk." I have a notice that it was published in the paper, and a notice that it was on the Bulletin Board
of the Town Clerk. Other than that there is no correspondence in the file.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Councilman. You have heard the reading of the public
notice in relation to the purchase of certain parcels in the Orient area down by Dam Pond, and at this
time we would like any pros and cons. Before I go to the general public I would like call on Melissa
2
Spiro, who is our department head for Land Preservation and if you would explain to the public what
we are doing.
MELISSA SPIRO: Good afternoon, Supervisor Cochran and members of the Town Board. The
property that is the subject of today's hearing is part of the Dam Pond area that had been on the
Town's priority acquisition list for many years. The 15.55 acre proposed purchase area includes three
separate tax parcels. The main area is approximately fifteen acres in area, and is located on the north
side of Main Road near Dam Pond in East Marion. It is the large red area on the map~ In the early
1980's this parcel was subdivided into two lots, one approximately 2.6 acres in area, and the other
approximately 12.3 acres. The subdivision included a fifty-foot right of way for access to the
peninsula, which is now owned jointly by the Town and the County. There are two smaller beach
parcels included in the proposed purchase. Each is approximately .26 acres. They are located between
Dam Pond and Long Island Sound. You can get there by the water and they are the smaller red parcels
marked on there. The purchase is important because it is located within an area of land akeady
preserved through Town, County, and private easement efforts. In 1999 the Town and County jointly
preserved the adjacent 21 acre peninsula are which is shown in, I am not quite sure what color that is, a
bluish color on the map. The Town has already started developing trails in this area. The access to the
preserve property, as I mentioned, is over the property that is the subject of tonight's heating. In
addition to being adjacent to the preserved property we spoke of the subject property is a adjacent to
nearly 100 acres of property to the west in which there is a private conservation easement to the
Peconic Land Trust. That property shows in a lighter sandy color on the map. The purchase, as Brian
mentioned, is to be a partnership between the County and the Town. The total .purchase price is
$950,000. The Town and the County will share the acquisition costs, and all costs associated with the
acquisition, 'fifty-fifty. The Land Preservation Committee has reviewed the proposed purchase. The
Committee and I both support the acquisition of this important property, and recommend that the Town
Board proceed with the proposed acquisition. Before I close I would just like to thank Tim Caufield
and Peconic Land Trust for really putting this deal together, and doing a lot of hard work. I don't know
if Tim has anyth/ng else to say.
TIM CALrFIELD: Good afternoon. My name is Tim Caufield. I am with the Peconic Land Trust.
Melissa has pretty much covered the specifics of the project. I really just want on behalf of our Board
of Directors to say, thank you to this Board for your patience and commitment to this important
conservation effort. As you know some of these projects are .years in the making. This one falls into
that category. Our Involvement in it goes all the way back 1.989, when the Town Board at that time,
and Jean, you might recall. I think you were on the Town Board then.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes, I was
TIM CAUFIELD: The Town Board focused on this area, made it a priority. They authorized the
Peconic Land Trust to start working on conservation alternatives. That led to the private acquisitions of
easements that Melissa referred to, the major acquisition of the peninsula two years ago, and now we
have this opportunity to get the last major piece of the puzzle. So, we are just looking forward to
closing the book on it, and thank you again for sticking with it.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Come and show us the properties that are now protected. I know we have
different colors there.
3
TIM CAUFIELD: The whole Dam Pond area is really this whole region, priorities, New York State
priorities, and the environmental organizations. The private easements are this area in the back. There
is about a 96 acre property. That is of course is the number of private (unintelligible.) That really came
out of the initial work with the Town Board, and with perseverance on the Town's part we were able to
finally put this partnership acquisition on the peninsula part, which to me is the most important visual
from the State road. (unintelligible.)
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is wonderful. We would like to thank the Trust in the part that they
played in this, and, Melissa, all the work that you have done in your committee and department. Thank
you. It is an important purchase. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? Jim?
Jim MCMAHON: Jim McMahon, private citizen, Southold Town. Just one little thing, over the
summer the Peconic Land Trust on a volunteer day went down there, one day went down there with a
group of kids from AmericCorp. There is a trail down there that they have fashioned which was part of
an existing farm road. The acquisition of this red parcel will give off street parking for maybe three or
four cars, and I think for the people who haven't been out there it is a wonderful, wonderful vista from
the blue parcel, and this other parcel with a little work will be certainly be a great addition to that
whole Dam Pond preserve.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Tim took me on a hike one day, and we walked the blue parcel, and I
thought I was going to sit and rest for twenty days, but he didn't let me. He made me keep forging on,
but it is absolutely magnificent.
JIM MCMAHON: There is a trail around there now that has been brushed hogged, and it probably
needs to be done. You can see it now with the trail.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is beautiful, beautiful. Anyone else like to address the Town Board?
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: Melissa, isn't there two parcels up on the Sound that come with that
also?
MELISSA SPIRO: Yes. The two little red parcels.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is at the small part of that causeway. We would love to see all of the
causeway preserved, you know, like a little barrier beach, but I would like to see that some day added
to the cache. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? ( No response.) If not, I will close the
hearing.

RE: Peconic Land Trust Property
The properties identified as SCTM# 1000-23-1-3.4 and 1000-23-1-20 were merged
on 1/03/02 as a result of a deed received by my office. The deed dated 11/17/01 and
recorded in Liber 12156 Page 480 conveys both properties to the Peconic Land
Trust. As a result of the merger both tax map numbers, listed above, were retired
and the new tax map number, 1000-23-1-20.1, was issued.
I hope this information is helpful.

Restoration
You will find that several areas are being cleared and restored as part
of a grassland restoration project. These areas had become overgrown
with successional woody shrubs, non-native roses and Russian olive.
Open grasslands are highly attractive to wildlife, particularly those
that can also use the woody margin and wetlands surrounding Dam
Pond.
The Dam Pond Maritime Reserve is open to the public year-round
from dawn to dusk.
Help to protect and maintain the natural beauty and wildlife habitat of
the area. Please...

Trail Guide
East Marion, NY
Welcome to Dam Pond Maritime Reserve. This brochure includes
information on the wide variety of wildlife and plant life that thrive in this
significant habitat. Enjoy your visit!
Preservation
This environmentally sensitive site has been protected forever by the Town
of Southold and Suffolk County with the assistance of Peconic Land Trust.
In total, more than 135 acres have been conserved, ensuring the protection of
important habitat and beautiful views that many residents and visitors enjoy
each day.
The Dam Pond Maritime Reserve, a 35.9-acre parcel, was purchased during
1999-200l by the Town of Southold and Suffolk County. The Reserve
encompasses a small, protected bay, maritime shrub land, beach frontage on
Long lsland Sound, grasslands, tidal flats, saltwater marshes, successional
growth, and mature woodlands. Its inclusion in the New York State Open
Space Plan, the Long Island Pine Barrens Maritime Reserve, Peconic Bay
Maritime Reserve, and the federally-designated National Estuary Program
underscores its significance.
Wildlife, Habitat and a Maritime Red Cedar Forest
Nine distinct ecological communities
have been identified, including the rare
maritime red cedar forest, an oak-
hickory forest, successional old field,
successional shmbland, freshwater
wetlands, coastal salt marsh, salt shrub
community, maritime shmbland, and
maritime beach community. Four
species of extremely rare plants, one
population of a carnivorous plant, and
two species of native orchids have also
been identified.
The New York State Coastal Significant
Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Inventory reported more than 15 pairs of
osprey in the Long Beach Bay, Orient
Harbor, and Dam Pond areas. This is
one of the largest concentrations of
osprey in New York and, with a newly
established nest in 2003, there is
promising potential for additional
nesting pairs.
Dam Pond is an important waterfowl wintering area and concentrations of
broadbill, black duck, merganser, buffiehead, goldeneye and mallard are
observed on a regular basis. A wide variety of woodpeckers, wrens,
warblers, sparrow, hawks, seabirds, shorebirds, and wading birds use the
area for feeding and stopovers during migration. In addition, the area is
especially significant as a feeding area for heron, egret, and ibis.
Diamondback terrapin turtles are frequently seen in the marsh and pond
during the summer months. Over twenty were recently spotted sunning
themselves on the rocks at the trail overlooking the barrier beach and osprey
nest.
Dam Pond serves as a significant ecological nursery and feeding area for
many estuarine fish species and is an important spawning area for weakfish,
scup and winter flounder. Whitetail deer, red fox, raccoons, muskrats,
cottontail rabbits, opossum, and squirrels are frequent visitors to the reserve.
Dam Pond contains the remnants of a rare ecological community, the
maritime red cedar forest. Years ago, this conifer forest was much more
extensive on the site, but numerous trees were cut and probably used as dock
posts. Usually, eastern red cedar is a pioneer species that invades old fields
that have been abandoned. Cedars usually thrive for approximately 30
years, at which time they are replaced by climate tree species. Red cedar,
however, is the climax plant species of this maritime forest. These trees
often live 150+ years in a mature forest and provide Iow-hanging horizontal
branches that provide excellent habitat for wildlife species.

Program on nvas ve Plants at
As part of our outreach and education program {bt support
ers and fi'lends, Peconic Land 'I~'ust sponsored a hike through the
Dam Pond Maritime Reserve in early October. Ashlee Reiniger,
the Trust's North Fork hand Steward, identified the invasive
plants that can be tbtmd there and discussed how these aggressive
species move into a habitat and out cmnpete native plants
valuable resources snch as light, nutrients, water, and space.
Participants learned how to identity these invaders and the
importance of controlling them so that native plants are not
endangered.
Working with the Town of Southold at Dam Pond since
2002, Peconic Land 'IYust stewardship staff has removed invasive
plants such as Autumn (Russian) Olive, Multiflora Rose,
Bittersweet, and Norway Maple. According to J'ames C.
McMahon, Director of Public Works and Community
Dam Pond Maritime Reserve
Development for the Town of Southold, "We want to encourage
grasslands in the Reserve and, without intervention, much of the
site would be easily taken over by invasives. Since the Autumn
Olive has berries that are forage for migrating hirds, we have not
eliminated all of it, but our goal is to control and confine
Ash[ee Reiniger adds, "The native plants wt. are encouraging are
Blue Stem Grass, Eastern Red Cedar, Winged Sumac, Bayberry,
and the Oaks (Black, White and Red)."

The Dam Pond property in East Marion will be officially renamed in honor of Ruth O[iva in
a ceremony next Wednesday, Sept. 22.
Dam Pond Preserve to be named for Oiiva
The preserve at Dam Pond in East
Marion will be renamed to honor for-
mer Southold Town Councilwoman
and environmentalist Ruth Oliva, who
died in June 2009.
Supervisor Scott Russell and County
Legislator Ed Romaine will preside at
the ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 22,
at 3 p.m. at Dam Pond.
It was Mr. Romaine who int]-oduced
the resolution to rename the preserve in
Ms. Oliva's honor and who shepherded
it through to unanimous approval by
the Suffolk County Legislature.
Ms. Oliva was president of North Fork
Envffonmental Counci/, a post she gave
up in 1987 when she was elected to fire
Southold Town Board. She had become
involved in environmental issues when
she first moved to Orient from Flushh~g
in 1970 and remained active in efforts to
improve fire quality of life on the North
Fork throughout her life.
After being elected to the Town Board
as a Democrat and serving from 1987 to
1991, Ms. Oliva won election under the
United Southold Party banner in 1993
and served as deputy supervisor to then
supervisor Tom Wickham.
Although she left the Town Board in
1997, she remained active in the Demo-
cratic Party and continued to monitor
town issues.
Ms. Oliva was appointed to the
town's Anti-Bias Task Force in 2001,
and in 2002 she was named to the
Zoning Board of Appeals, a post she
held until her death. She was also a
member of the Southold Town Trans-
portation Commission.
