Legislative Intent. This Local Law proposes to amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Historically, the Water Supply Plan Map reflects the physical changes in the water supply network since 2000. The Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Health Services have represented to the Town that the groundwater quality of existing wells supplying the Browns Hills area are inadequate and pose a significant concern that requires the extension of public water to the area. The extension of the transmission main is intended to supply existing development only and is not intended to result in additional development pressure in the area. Section 2. Enactment. Based on the goals of the Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Health Services to provide safe drinking water to the Browns Hills Subdivision, and upon our consideration of the recommendation of the Suffolk County Water Authority and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, the environmental consultant retained by the Town and .Resolution 2010-331 Ward Meeting of April 20, 2010 the public comments taken at the public heating, we hereby amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Section 3. The Southold Water Supply Plan Map as adopted by Resolution No. 31 on June 20, 2000 by the Town Board, and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2007-603, is hereby amended to reflect the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Section 4. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid. Section 5. Effective Date. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by law. Elizabeth A.

If a situation comes to the Engineer's attention the Erosion & Sediment Control (ESC) plans included in the contract documents may be modified, by the Engineer, to correct unsatisfactory procedures and operations, including locations of ESC measures. ESC shall be installed prior to the beginning of construction and excavation. Silt fence shall be installed so that each section shall overlap by one panel length and/or two post ends shall be wrapped together for continuous support. All ESC controls shall be inspected by the contractor every 7 days and after each rainfall of 1/2 inch or more within a 12 hour period, or daily during prolonged rainfall to determine if the measures are functioning as intended. Within 3 calendar days from completion of each inspection, the contractor shall: * Repair or rebuild the control measure to function as originally intended. *Remove sediment deposition which reaches one half the height of the contrOl measure. Site disturbance shall be stabilized as construction progresses using permanent or temporary stabilization measures. All temporary stabilization shall be replaced by permanent stabilization prior to project completion. Under no condition shall earth material exposed by excavation or other work be left without application of temporary or permanent erosion controls for a period of greater than 7 calendar days. If the Engineer determines that potential for erosion or sediment transport exists the contractor may be ordered to install temporary erosion controls earlier. If work is suspended, i.e. seasonally, all disturbed areas shall be stabilized and ERC measures shall be inspected monthly and after rain and snow melt events. Permanent stabilization shall require the application of topsoil and seeding as indicated in the contract documents. Full stabilization shall be achieved when uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of no less than 80% has been established on all unpaved areas. Temporary stabilization shall require the application of mulch, seed & mulch, or Class I Short Term rolled erosion control product (RECP). Mulch may be straw bales and shall be spread at t. he rate of 2-3 bales per 1000 square feet. RECP shall be installed outside of the growing seasons, AOBE. All applications shall be as per NYSDOT Standards.

Dirt roads are not authorized to be paved without further NYSDEC approval. 3;' The permittee shall notify in writing the Regional Manager of the Bureau of Environmental Protection (BEP) for those projects within 100 feet of Freshwater Wetlands. The Regional Manager of the Bureau of M.ar~ne Habitat Protection (BMHP) must be notified for those projects within 300 feet of Tidal Wetlands. The notification must be received a minimum of 5 days prior to commencement. Notification shall include a project location map, photographs of the project site and adjacent wetland, and the expected duration of the ~roject. 4. There shall be no disturbance to vegetated Tidal Wetlands or Freshwater Wetlands as a result of the permitted activity. 5,:.~Any excess excavated materials shall be immediately and completely disposed of in a legal manner. ':$~ Trenching is prohibited during rain events. · 7:;; AIl disturbed areas where soil is temporarily exposed or stockpiled for longer than one day, shall be, covered with a tarp or contained by a continuous line of staked haybales placed on the downslope or wetland side. 8. Before trenching or excavation can begin within 100 feet of any regulated wetland, proper erosion control structures must be in place. A silt screen (maximum opening Sieve ¢~20) and haybale barrier must be e~ected in order to effectively prevent excavated sediments from eroding into the wetlands or protected area. When the barrier is erected on sloped areas, haybales must be recessed into the ground 2 to 4 inches and the Silt screen recessed 6 inches to prevent underwash of sediment laden runoff. The barrier must be properly maintained to ensure its proper function until all disturbed areas are repaved and/or revegetated. Sediments trapped by the bales shall be removed and reused or transported to an approved upland location before the bales themselves are removed. 9~ All fill shall consist of "clean" gravel and soil (not asphalt, slag, flyash, broken concrete or demolition debris).

Dewatedng using a 30 gallon per minute capacity trench pump is authorized. Direct discharge to storm .drains is prehibited. AIl groundwater discharges must be contained within a haybale and silt screen barrier to effectively contain all sediment laden discharge, and a sediment filter bag must be attached to the outfall p~pe. When discharging to unpaved areas, a splash pad must be erected to prevent additional turbidity caUsed by scoudng of the unpaved area. 12. All areas of soil disturbance resulting from water main installations shall be seeded with an appropriate perennial grass and mulched with straw immediately upon completion of the work at each site. Mulch shall be maintained until a suitable vegetative cover is established. If seeding is impracticable due to the time of temporary mulch shall be applied and final seeding shall be performed as soon as weather conditions favor germination and growth. 13. During construction, concrete or leachate shall not escape or be discharged, nor shall washings from {tartsit mix trucks, mixers, or other devices enter tidal wetlands, freshwater wetlands, and or protected buffer are~is. 1:4~ :All equipment and machinery shall be stored and safely contained greater than 100 feet landward of the regulated wetland or water body at the end of each work day. This will serve to avoid the inadvertent ~i~akage of deleterious substances into the wetlands. Fuel or other chemical storage tanks shall be contained and located at all times in an area greater than 100 feet from any wetland or water body. If the above requirement cannot be met by the permittee, then the storage areas must be designed to completely contain any and all potential leakage. Such a containment system must be approved by NYSDEC staff prior to equipment, machinery or tank storage within 100 feet of any regulated wetland.

Based upon the information provided to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the below listed LWRP Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. This recommendation is based upon the responses within the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted on July 25, 2010 and the plans titled Township of Southold Plans for the Extension of Water Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion/Orient, New York dated June 17, 2009 Policy 1 Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. The longstanding planning goals of the Town of Southold "reflect the interest in preserving and enhancing the natural and built environment and providing opportunities for a level of growth and expansion of the economic base that is compatible with the existing scale of development, availability of water, existing sensitive environment of the Town and its historic heritage" (Town of Southold Planning Board, 1985, p3). existing scale of development, availability of water, existing sensitive environment of the Town and its historic heritage" (Town of Southold Planning Board, 1985, p3). Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. The purpose of this policy is to protect the quality and quantity of water in the Town of Southold. Quality considerations include both point source and non-point soume pollution management so that existing and potential sources of groundwater contamination are either removed or reduced significantly. The primary quantity consideration is the maintenance of an adequate supply of potable water in the Town to supply the projected demand from residential and a.qricultural uses. The Town of Southold's Water Supply Management & Watershed Protection Strategy. was endorsed by the Town Board in June of 2000, and its goals and objectives are incorporated by reference into Southold's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. The Goals and Objectives are listed below: Goals 1) To protect and preserve a healthful drinking water supply sufficient to serve the existing future residents of the Town, while maintaining and enhancing the natural resoumes and quality of life in the town. 2) To provide public drinking water to existing residents and businesses in need without precipitating uncontrolled growth. 3) To manage future growth to ensure a sustainable drinking water supply from the Southold Township sole source aquifer. 4) To preserve the town's farming blocks in order to protect farming operations, limit the need for additional drinking water in these areas, and provide, through agricultural best management practices, a continual improvement to the groundwater quality in the area. 5) To conserve drinking water supplies by reducing wasteful water use. 6) To integrate land conservation, agricultural activities, and development control to preserve a sustainable balance between water recharge and drinking water use. 7) To constructively protect the Town's sole source aquifer from contamination by inappropriate land use practices. Obiecfives 1) Develop land management and zoning strategies: To prevent inappropriate land uses or practices from occurring within designated groundwater protection areas; To guild development in order to minimize its impact on the groundwater aquifer; · To scale development to a level which respects the limitations of water supply. 2) Develop strategies to mitigate or remove existing threats to designated groundwater protection areas, or mitigate possible deterioration to drinking water quality, especially in private wells. 3) Promote and guild compact, orderly growth into areas where sustainable drinking water supplies exist. 4) Preserve and protect groundwater recharge areas in and around existing and planned drinking water supply well-heads. 5) Accommodate growth and change within the Town which: respects the geographical and geological limitations to the drinking water supply; does not damage the groundwater aquifer; does not, by cumulative impact, destroy the fundamental economic base, environmental character and unique way of life which make up the quality of life in the Township of Southold. The proposed action will not conflict with the above policies, stated .qoals and obiectives. Pursuant to Chapter 266, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

A copy of the Legal Notice regarding the local law is provided as Appendix A. Consistent with the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map, the transmission main will supply existing development that is in need of public water supply due to contamination of local aquifers and private water supply wells. The transmission main conveys water to the area in need and only supplies existing development. The Town Board of the Town of Southold retained Nelson, Pope & Voorhis, LLC CNP&V) for environmental consulting services, specifically to evaluate the potential for environmental impacts related to the action and for completion of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) documentation. This document provides information regarding the potential environmental impacts of this action, to assist the Town Board in issuing a determination of significance in conformance SEQRA requirements. The Browns Hills Subdivision water supply, which draws from two local wells, has been identified by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services as representing a significant public health concern that requires the extension of public water to the area. The Suffolk County Browns mils Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment Water Authority took over thc Browns Hills community water system in 1998 and due to the high concentration of nitrates in groundwater, has installed reverse osmosis filter systems in 24 homes in the ama. The filters are intended to provide safe drinking water at a single location in the home, for up to 5 gallons of consumable water per day. The proposed action, to provide safe drinking water via an extension of a transmission main to the existing water supply system, is proposed to eliminate the need for the filters, and provide safe clean drinking water to Browns Hills residents without restriction. In addition, existing developed properties adjacent to the transmission main, whose water quality may be impacted by agricultural activities, will have the option to connect to public water. Any new development in need of public water would require future amendments to the Water Supply Plan Map, separate review under SEQRA, and approval by the Town Board. Page 2 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension !.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Water Supply Management in the Town The Town of Southold has limited groundwater resources which are impacted in some areas by salt water intrusion, or by past and present land use activities which have compromised water quality. For example, groundwater has been contaminated where long term use of pesticides and fertilizers by agricultural uses has occurred, and where solid waste disposal facilities have leached pollutants. These practices have rendered groundwater unsafe for human consumption in certain areas of the Town. This is the case for some of the areas east of the Dam Pond Bridge, where the transmission main is proposed, especially the Browns Hills Subdivision which has a local water supply system served by wells that do not meet NYS Standards for drinking water. 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." As part of the implementation of the WSM & WPS, the Town adopted a Water Supply Plan Map to show areas of existing and proposed public water supply. This map was designed to identify the existing public water distribution network that comprised the public water supply system within the Town, and proposed future extensions of the public water distribution network that the Town would recognize for installation in coordination with the SCWA. In 2006, the Town of Southold formally amended the 2000 Water Map for two reasons; to reflect the physical changes made to the water supply network; and, to set policy for the future water supply network in response to changing water supply needs and increased growth trends within the Town. Between 2000 and 2006, SCWA installed some of the originally proposed extensions of service and, at the Town's request, installed new lines in response to immediate threats to public health, safety and welfare. The SCWA Findings Statement for its Five Year Plan (2003) set forth a policy that the extension of water from transmission mainsI 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. Also, through Town policy, transmission mains may not be accessed by new development on currently vacant or subdividable land contiguous to the ~ Transnfission 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. Page 3 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment mains unless the Town of Southold either previously authorized such a connection or votes in thc future to allow such a connection. 1.2 Project Background The current proposal involves the construction of a 17,763 foot 12" water main to bring safe drinking water to the Browns Hills commnnity. According to the Fact Sheet prepared by SCWA, Browns Hills is a small community of 24 homes, currently served by two very small wells. The water quality of these wells does not meet NY State standards for drinking water as the nitrate levels are over 10 parts per million. The SCWA has fitted homes in the Browns Hills Community with a single point of use reverse osmosis filter system (RO System) to treat a small volume of water. The RO System provides 5 gallons of water per day that meets the State standard for nitrate levels in drinking water. There is a special faucet installed on the kitchen sinks of these homes to access treated water. It is the only water available for drinking or cooking use in these homes. It is noted that the wells that serve this community are shallow, are located near an existing farm, and are very vulnerable to increased contamination. The system is isolated from other SCWA systems and a pump station failure would result in loss of water for the community. The proposed transmission main would connect the Browns Hills Community to SCWA's water supply system that currently serves the Town of Southold. The SCWA fact sheet notes that there are one hundred homes along the route of the proposed transmission main that would also have the option to connect to public water as a result of the project. Consistent with the Town's policy, any new development proposals will require furore amendments to the Water Supply Plan Map, separate review under SEQRA, and approval by the Town Board to allow connection to the transmission main. 1.3 SEQRA Analysis The following provides an outline of the analysis completed for this review. A Part I Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) has been prepared to provide background for this action; this is included in Appendix B. A Part II EAF was prepared to assess the magnitude and importance of impacts (Appendix B). An analysis of build out potential without public water availability and with public water. (Since the transmission main extends a distance of over 3 miles, the primary impact of concern involves growth potential in areas where the water main extension is proposed. However, since the project would make a future extension more feasible, the analysis considers the development potential under existing and proposed conditions for all parcels east of the Dam Pond Bridge (the westernmost point of the proposed extension). The following section describes the existing conditions and potential impacts of the proposed action. Page 4 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 2.._.~0 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS For the purpose of this analysis, the study area includes all parcels to the east of the Dam Pond Bridge in East Marion, to Orient Point. Although the extension of the transmission main would occur along Main Road between Dam Pond Bridge and Browns Hill Road, the potential for theoretical future expansion to Orient Point is also considered in order to fully analyze the potential for growth due to the availability of public water. As noted previously, the proposed project only involves extension of a transmission main to Browns Hill Road and only existing development along this route would have the option to connect. As a result, this analysis is a theoretical exercise of a worst case scenario which could only occur as a result of further action by SCWA and the Town Board through separate future actions which would also be subject to SEQRA. The analysis contained herein reviews the existing mechanisms of land use control to determine the potential build out which could occur both with and without available public water in order to determine growth potential as a result of the proposed action. 2.1 Suffolk County Sanitary Code The Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) regulates residential construction under Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code (SCSC) and has established Groundwater Management Zones which provide minimum lot sizes for residential development (and design flow restrictions for conunercial development). The entire north fork of Long Island is within Groundwater Management Zone IV. For Groundwater Management Zone IV, the minimum lot size required for a single family residence under SCSC is 20,000 SF. The allowable lot size and density does not change with the availability of public water. 2.1 Zoning Town zoning is the appropriate baseline by which to consider build out potential and potential impacts due to providing available public water. The Town ultimately determines the land use pattern and build out potential through zoning. The zoning is part of the comprehensive plan of the Town and was analyzed and subject to a Generic Environmental Impact Statement as part of the Comprehensive Implementation Strategy (CIS) in 2003. The CIS included a build out analysis which included Orient Point and the areas east of the Dam Pond Bridge. Residential zoning districts are prevalent in the study area (see Figure 1). The majority of the area is zoned R-40 or greater (minimum lot size is at least one acre per home). Additional zoning districts in the study area include R-80 (2 acre minimum lot size), R-120 (three acre minimum), R-200 (five acre lots) and business districts (HB, B, MI and Mil). Residential use is permitted at various densities in all zoning districts in the study area. The Town of Southold Zoning Districts for the area east of Dam Pond Bridge are at least as strict as the SCSC with respect to minimum lot size and therefore, the zoning would prohibit increased density over what is currently permitted regardless of the SCSC and/or availability of public Page 5 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment water. The following section outlines the zoning districts in the area and the potential build out under current conditions and build out with the potential for public water for the entire area. 2.2 Protected Land The study area contains an abundance of protected land, as is illustrated on Figure 22. The study area contains 1,160 tax parcels, two of which contain primarily surface water. The total area, not including surface water, is 3,140 acres of which 1,470 acres are protected which represents a 46.8% of the entire land area (not including surface water). Out of the total 3,140 acres, approximately 1,297 acres (41.3%) are currently developed. If considered based open the number of parcels, 869 parcels of 1,158 parcels are developed (75%). Based upon the Town database, there are a total of 908 parcels (2,330 acres) that are either protected or developed without potential for subdivision3. Table 1 provides a summary of the protected and developed parcels in the study area. TABLE 1 PROTECTED LANDS 1N THE STUDY AREA Study area parcels* 1,158 3,140 Protected parcels 90 1,470 Percent protected 7.8% 46.8% Developed (includes agricultural) 869 1297 Developed properties without potential for subdivision and additional residential development 818 860 Percent developed with no potential for additional development 70.6% 27.4% Protected or developed parcels (with no potential for additional development) 908 2,330 Percentage developed or protected 78.4% 74.2% * Does not include 2 underwater land parcels The relevance of protected land from the perspective of this SEQRA analysis is related to the potential for development that is presently diminished, since 46.8% of the land area is protected. The combined total of protected and existing developed land (without potential for subdivision) accounts for 74.2% of the land area, indicating that there is limited opporttmity for additional development. It is expected that the Town and County will continue the program of land 2 Figure 2 shows all protected parcels in the study area, including the two parcels which are primarily underwater and therefore omitted from the calculations in this section. Including these parcels would increase the areas of protected land and thus, the percentage of protected open space in the study area. 3 Simply adding developed parcels and open space parcels does not necessarily show the area that does not have potential for change, since 51 of the developed properties have the potential for subdivision trader current zoning regulations. Page 6 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment acquisition and Purchase of Development Rights. Any fnrther development of unprotected developable lands would be controlled by Town Zoning. An analysis of the build out potential (under current zoning and with public water available~ is provided in Section 2.3. 2.3 Build-Out Analysis The following analyzes the potential for additional residential lots under the current zoning, which accounts for land that is already protected. During the completion of the Town of Southold Comprehensive Implementation Strategy, the Town completed a build out analysis, which estimated the number of additional residences possible under current zoning. The analysis considered property size, zoning district (minimum lot size) and subtracted environmentally sensitive lands - which would be protected under current regulations (wetlands, coastal areas). The Town has maintained the database to account for changes. Based upon current conditions and existing zoning, there are 52 parcels east of the Dam Pond Bridge which have the potential to be subdivided, for a total of 187 additional residential lots. Table 2 provides a summary of the parcels that could be subdivided in this area. TABLE 2 POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS UNDER CURRENT CONDITIONS Zoning Minimum Lot Size under Number of Sub- Potential District current zoning dividable Parcels Additional Lots HD 20,000 SF 1 1 MIl 20,000 SF * 5 11 R-200 200,000 SF 3 6 R-40 40,000 SF 7 19 R-80 80,000 SF 36 150 Total 52 187 * Residential unit with community water; without public water, 40,000 SF lot is the minimum The minimum lot size required for subdivision based upon Town zoning exceeds the requirements under SCSC, with one exception (for lots zoned Marine Business II). For the remaining 51 parcels that have potential for subdivision, the availability of public water does not affect the potential build out since the Town Zoning is more restrictive. Thus, the proposal for extension of public transmission main will not impact development potential without changes in the zoning districts for these properties. The single exception is for five properties within the Marine Business II Zoning District, a district which also allows residential use. Under the current zoning, the minimum lot size for construction of a residence within the MII Zoning District is 40,000 SF and currently there is the potential for eleven additional lots. If public water were extended to these properties, the minimum lot size for residences would be reduced to 20,000 SF and the potential build out for Page 7 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment these parcels could be increased to 22 lots4. It is noted that the likelihood of extension to these Mil zoned parcels is low, as Browns Hill Road is at least 2.3 miles from the closest Mil Zoned property east of Dam Pond Bridge. Nevertheless, the potential for up to eleven additional lots over the current build out of 187 lots represents only 5.8% increase over the current build out. Lots which have potential for subdivision are illustrated on Figure 3 with the Mil Marine Business zoned parcels referenced herein circled. 2.4 Hamlet Study According to the Town of Southold Hamlet Study, the Orient Hamlet Center contains all or portions of 9 parcels, totaling 1.8 acres. Although the recommendations of the Orient Vision includes the establishment of a HALO zone which would potentially allow single family residences at a density of 1 dwelling/20,000 SF, the implementation of increased density in this area would require a Change of Zone, a discretionary approval of the Town Board. The availability of public water would not increase the likelihood or feasibility of increased residential development regardless of the recommendation for a HALO zone, since the SCSC already permits residential development on 20,000 SF lots. The Town zoning requirement for all lots in the recommended HALO zone area currently exceeds this minimum lot size and a change of zone would be required to establish 20,000 SF lots. 4 It is noted that at least 2 of the 5 parcels have more than one zoning designation which would be more restrictive than the MII Zoning provision that allows one residential lot/20,000 SF area and therefore this represents a worst case analysis with respect to build out with public water availability. Further, this analysis does not include site specific analysis as it relates to NYS DEC wetland constraints, which may further restrict lot size. Page 8 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 3.._.~0 ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES Preparation of the Long EAF Part II identified potential impacts related to the construction of the transmission main in an area of potentially regulated freshwater/tidal wetlands and flood plains. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) regulates activities in tidal wetlands and adjacent areas. The proposed action occurs within an existing roadbed, which is outside of the tidal wetlands jurisdictional area of the NYS DEC. However, since the transmission main will need to be installed under the Dam Pond Channel, a DEC Permit was required and has been issued. The NYS DEC permit for the project contains conditions for construction which SCWA will need to conform to in order to protect sensitive environmental resources related to Dam Pond. According to the SCWA Fact Sheet, the SCWA will use two installation techniques, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and open cut. HDD is said to be one of the least obtrusive ways of installing mains, as it starts with drilling two holes on either end of the portion of buried main and a path is drilled underground without disturbing the waterway or land. HDD will be employed alongside the bridge on Main Road to route the main below the Dam Pond Channel (the main will be located more than 10' below the channel bottom). The area surrounding the holes will be surrounded with haybales for erosion control. Although the area of installation is within a flood zone, the construction of a water main, which is under ground, will not be impacted by flooding, nor will it impact flood potential. Page 9 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 4.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The analysis conducted by this office analyzed the proposed action, which involves the extension of a transmission main to the Browns Hills community on Browns Hill Road in Orient. Thc proposed action would allow for existing developed properties to connect to public water and the provision of clean safe drinking water in a community whose water supply is currently compromised. The proposed action would not result in any new development. The analysis conducted illustrates that the only potential increase in development is unlikely and not significant even if it were to occur in the future. The additional development that could occur is for residential development on MI1 Marine Business zoned parcels that currently could result in eleven new dwellings without public water. The availability of public water to these properties in Orient Point (which would require a substantial extension from Browns Hill Road - at least 2.3 miles) would allow for 20,000 SF lots as opposed to the current 40,000 SF lots required by the Town and build out would be increased to maximum of eleven additional lots. Any application for connection to the transmission main for new development would require a future amendment of the Town Water Supply Plan Map, which requires approval by the Town Board of the Town of Southold, a full SEQRA review and individual impacts analyzed on a site specific basis. The availability of public water will not, in and of itself, alter development patterns or result in increased density. Further, based upon the information provided regarding water quality in the shallow groundwater which is the sole drinking water source for the community it is expected that the proposed action and availability for connections by existing dwellings in the vicinity will result in significant public health, safety and welfare benefits.

The proposed local law entitled, "A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD WATER SUPPLY PLAN MAP EXTENDING A WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN TO THE BROWNS HILLS SUBDIVISION IN ORIENT" reads as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. 2010 A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to Amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map Extending a Water Transmission Main to the Browns Hills Subdivision in Orient ". BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: Section 1. Legislative Intent. This Local Law proposes to amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Historically, the Water Supply Plan Map reflects the physical changes in the water supply network since 2000. The Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Health Services have represented to the Town that the groundwater quality of existing wells supplying the Browns Hills area are inadequate and pose a significant concern that requires the extension of public water to the area. The extension of the transmission main is intended to supply existing development only and is not intended to result in additional development pressure in the area. Section 2. Enactment. Based on the goals of the Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Health Services to provide safe drinking water to the Browns Hills Subdivision, and upon our consideration of the recommendation of the Suffolk County Water Authority and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, the environmental consultant retained by the Town and the public comments taken at the public hearing, we hereby amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Section 3. The Southold Water Supply Plan Map as adopted by Resolution No. 31 on June 20, 2000 by the Town Board, and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2007-603, is hereby amended to reflect the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Section 4. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid. Section 5. Effective Date. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by law. Dated: February 23, 2010 BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD Elizabeth Neville Town Clerk Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment APPENDIX B Long EAF Parts I and II 677.20 Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expeA in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information 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 in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially4arge impact, The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Par~ 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. THIS AREA FOR LEAD AGENCY USE ONLY DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE -- Type I and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this ~'oject: I~1 Part1 I~1 Part2 M Part3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: DC. 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 necjative declaration will be prepared. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared,* The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. *A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Transmission Main Extension for Browns Hills Subdivision Town Board of the Town of Southold Scott Russell Print or Type Name of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Name of Action Name of Lead Agency Town Supervisor Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Signature of Preparer (If different from responsible officer) website April 20, 2010 Date Page 1 of 21 PART 1--PROJECT INFORMATION Prepared by Project Sponsor NOTICE: This document is designed to assist in determining whether the action proposed may have a significant effect on the environment.

If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to 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 lower than 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 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. 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 large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to 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 Par[ 3.

It is clear that certain sections of the proposed water transmission main extension between Dam Pond and Browns Hills are within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and, since the administrative permit was granted for the limited scope of work entailing the directional drilling under Dam Pond, any installation contemplated beyond the Dam Pond area will require a Wetlands Permit pursuant to Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code. The letter went on to request that the SCWA amend its application to the Board of Trustees so that the requisite review of the entire action can proceed. A copy of the letter is enclosed for June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 2 your convenience. Since January 2001, the Town of Southold indicated that the no direct application for a wetlands permit need be made by the SCWA for water main projects that do not include directional drilling under a water body. The procedure was to simply have the highway department review the SCWA plans for road opening permits, and based upon those plans and meetings in the field and/or information provided by the SCWA line-up inspector, the highway department would advise the Board of Trustees and either accept or reject the SCWA proposal for erosion control (haybaies/silt screens). A copy of a SCWA Memorandum regarding this procedure is enclosed. That procedure has been followed by the SCWA and the Town since that time. In any event, in accordance with Mr. Finnegan's request and in the spirit of cooperation and coordination and to facilitate the provision of badly needed public water supplies to residents of the Town of Southold along the route of the proposed water main and to improve drinking water quality in the Browns Hills subdivision, please consider this an amendment of the application to the Board of Trustees regarding the above referenced application. The SCWA also respectfully reserves its legal rights with respect to this application and the issue of jurisdiction over the project by the Board of Trustees. As you are probably aware, the SCWA and the Board of Trustees has already treated this project as a Type II action under SEQR because it involves the extension of utility distribution facilities to an existing subdivision as per the statewide SEQR Type II list. An Article 78 proceeding challenging this determination was dismissed affirming the determination that the project is a Type II action. You may not be aware of the fact that the Southold Town Board had an outside consultant prepare a SEQR long environmental assessment form for this project prior to the court decision. A copy of the same is enclosed for your reference. The Long EAF prepared for the Town Board includes an analysis of potential impacts related to the construction of the transmission main in an area of potentially regulated freshwater/tidal wetlands and flood plains at page 9. Part 2 of the Long EAF at page 12 of 21 indicates that the transmission main will not affect any water body designated as protected. Part 3 of the Long EAF concludes: The proposed action would not result in any new development. June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 3 The availability of public water will not, in and of itself, alter development patterns or result in increased density. Further, based upon the information provided regarding water quality in the shallow groundwater which is the sole drinking water source for the community it is expected that the proposed action and availability for connections by existing dwellings in the vicinity will result in significant public health, safety and welfare benefits. Also enclosed is a copy of the Plans for the Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion/Orient, New York dated June 17, 2009 (hereinafter "Plans"). These Plans indicate the entire route of the proposed water main. Please note that the directional drill under Dam Pond starts on page C-4 at distance 21+50 and ends on page C-5 at distance 26+00. This is the portion of the project for which the Board of Trustees has already issued an administrative permit. The Plans show two additional directional drills identified as Alternative Drill #1 and Alternative Drill #2. Instead of open cutting the roadbed near wetland areas, the SCWA will be installing additional portions of the water main utilizing the alternative directional drill method. This is the same installation method that was approved by the Board of Trustees for the section of the main going under Dam Pond. Alternative Drill #1 starts on page C-5 at distance 26+00, which is the location where the Dam Pond directional drill ended. Alternative Drill #1 ends on page C-6 at location 38+60. Alternative Drill #2 starts on page C-7 at location 46+70 and ends on page C-13 at location 85+50. Altemative Drill #1 and #2 will be exclusively within the roadbed and will not go under any water bodies. Also enclosed are other permits for the project for your reference. First, there is a letter fi.om the US Army Corps of Engineers indicating that the project may be performed under the nationwide permit. The Army Corps of Engineers has indicated that it does not have jurisdiction over the portion of the project located in the road right of way. Second, there is a copy of the permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") for the Dam Pond portion of the project. Third, there is a copy of the SCWA's DEC general permit for the project. The DEC general permit applies to the installation of water mains within existing roadways and within five feet of the roadway shoulder June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 4 near fresh and tidal wetlands. All of the proposed project falls within this definition with the exception of the Dam Pond directional drill portion of the project (which received a separate DEC permit as noted above). When the SCWA has a project falling under its DEC general permit, the SCWA sends a letter notifying the DEC. The notification includes project location maps and photographs of the site and adjacent wetlands. Enclosed is a copy of the maps and photographs that were sent to the DEC for this project in accordance with the SCWA's DEC general permit. Fourth, there is a copy of the New York State Department of Transportation Highway Work Permit for the project. Fifth, there is a copy of a letter fi.om the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation which indicates that the proposed project will have no adverse effect on historic or cultural resources eligible for listing or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sixth, enclosed for you convenience is a copy of the Administrative Permit that was issued for the Dam Pond portion of the project by the Board of Trustees on July 22, 2009. In addition to the above referenced documents, please find a Town of Southold Board of Trustees Application, including General Data, Coastal Erosion Application Data, Wetlands/Trustee Lands Application Data, Applicant/Agent/Representative Transactional Disclosure Form, LWRP Consistency Assessment Form, and Erosion, Sedimentation & Storm- Water Run-Off Assessment Form.

Beneath Dam Pond - Dear Mr. JOnes: Aa I trust you are aware, the Town Board declined to adopt the proposed local law amending the Town's Water Supply Map pending the adoption of the Town's updated Comprehensive Plan and the submission by the Suffolk County Water Authority (~CWA) et' proof of the demand for public water by the residents of Orient. Aa such, the ~Own of $outhold maintains tha~ the Installation of any portion of the water main is prohibited at this time In accordance with the long standing and well established agreement by the SCWA to defer to the Town's authorization of any water main extensions. Wllh respect to other required approvals, although the Board of Trustees issued the BCWA an adminlsb-alive permit In July 2009 for the Authority to undertake directional drilling under Dam Pond, it has come to the attention of the Board of Trustees through ~3Ul~llc disclosures made in connection with the Town Board's consideration of an amendment to the Town's Water Map that additional approvals may be required from the Board of Trustees. It is clear that certain sections of the proposed water transmission main extension between Dam Pond and Browns Hills are within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and, since the administrative permit was granted for the limited scope of work entailing the directional drilling under Dam Pond, any installation contemplated beyond the Dam Pond area will require a Wetlands Permit pursuant to Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code. We are also advised that the permits Previously issued by the NYB Department of Environmental Conservation and the Army Corps of Engineers are likewise limited to the directional drilling under Dam Pond. Aa I am sure you would agree, it is inappropriate and contrary to the mandates of the Environmental Conservation Law and related r~gulations to obtain permits for a proposed action in a piecemeal fashion. We would respectfully request that the SCWA Mr: Stephen M. Jones April 22, 2010 Page 2 review the existing permits, to the extent they are valid, and amend your application to ttte Board of Trustees so that the requisite review of the entire action can proceed. Please be advised that no further action should be taken with respect to the proposed water main extension until all required approvals are obtained and the Water Supply Map is formally amended by the adoption of a lOcal law by the Town Board.

Chief Executive Officer 8affOlk County Water Authority 40~ Sunrise Highway Oakdale, NY 11789-0901 RE: Board of Trustees/Administrative Permit for Directional Drilling Beneath Dam Pond Dear Mr. JOnes: As I trust you are aware, the Town Board declined to adopt the proposed local law amending the Town's Water Supply Map pending the adoption of the Town's updated Comprehensive Plan and the submission by the Suffolk County Water Authority (~CWA) of proof of the demand for public water by the residents of Orient. As such, the Town of $outhold maintains that the installation of any portion of the water main is prohibited at this time in accordance with the long standing and well established agreement by the SCWA to defer to the Town's authorization of any water main extensions. With respect to other required approvals, although the Board of Trustees issued the $CWA an administrative permit in July 2009 for the Authority to undertake directional ,drilling under Dam Pond, it has come to the attention of the Board of Trustees through pul~llc disclosures made in connection with the Town Board's consideration of an amendment to the Town's Water Map that additional approvals may be required from the Board of Trustees. It is clear that certain sections of the proposed water transmission main extension between Dam Pond and Browns Hills are within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and, since the administrative permit was granted for the limited scope of work entailing the directional drilling under Dam Pond, any installation contemplated beyond the Dam Pond area will require a Wetlands Permit pursuant to Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code. We are also advised that the permits previously issued by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the Army Corps of Engineers are likewise limited to the directional ddlling under Dam Pond.

Hopkins General Counsel SUFFOLK COUNTY WATEI~ AUTHORITY Administrative Offices: 4060 Sunrise Highway, Oakdale, NY 11769-0901 (631) 563-0236 Fax (631) 563-0370 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Town Hall Annex Building 54375 Route 25 P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 June 25, 2010 Rc; Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Dear Ms. Doherty: On April 22, 2010, the Southold Town Attorney sent a letter to the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) with respect to the above referenced project stating the following: With respect to required approvals, although the Board of Trustees issued to the SCWA an administrative permit in July 2009 for the Authority to undertake directional drilling under Dam Pond, it has come to the attention of the Board of Trustees through public disclosures made in connection with the Town Board's consideration of an amendment to the Town's Water Map that additional approvals may be required from the Board of Trustees. It is clear that certain sections of the proposed water transmission main extension between Dam Pond and Browns Hills are within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and, since the administrative permit was granted for the limited scope of work entailing the directional drilling under Dam Pond, any installation contemplated beyond the Dam Pond area will require a Wetlands Permit pursuant to Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code. The letter went on to request that the SCWA amend its application to the Board of Trustees so that the requisite review of the entire action can proceed. A copy of the letter is enclosed for June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 3 The availability of public water will not, in and of itself, alter development patterns or result in increased density. Further, based upon the information provided regarding water quality in the shallow groundwater which is the sole drinking water source for the community it is expected that the proposed action and availability for connections by existing dwellings in the vicinity will result in significant public health, safety and welfare benefits. Also enclosed is a copy of the Plans for the Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion/Orient, New York dated June 17, 2009 (hereinafter "Plans"). These Plans indicate the entire route of the proposed water main. Please note that the directional drill under Dam Pond starts on page C-4 at distance 21+50 and ends on page C-5 at distance 26+00. This is the portion of the project for which the Board of Trustees has already issued an administrative permit. The Plans show two additional directional drills identified as Alternative Drill gl and Alternative Drill #2. Instead of open cutting the roadbed near wetland areas, the SCWA will be installing additional portions of the water main utilizing the aitemative directional drill method. This is the same installation method that was approved by the Board of Trustees for the section of the main going under Dam Pond. Alternative Drill gl starts on page C-5 at distance 26+00, which is the location where the Dam Pond directional drill ended. Alternative Drill gl ends on page C-6 at location 38+60. Alternative Drill #2 starts on page C-7 at location 46+70 and ends on page C-13 at location 85+50. Alternative Drill gl and #2 will be exclusively within the roadbed and will not go under any water bodies. Also enclosed are other permits for the project for your reference. First, there is a letter fi.om the US Army Corps of Engineers indicating that the project may be performed under the nationwide permit. The Army Corps of Engineers has indicated that it does not have jurisdiction over the portion of the project located in the road right of way. Second, there is a copy of the permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") for the Dam Pond portion of the project. Third, there is a copy of the SCWA's DEC general permit for the project. The DEC general permit applies to the installation of water mains within existing roadways and within five feet of the roadway shoulder June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 2 your convenience. Since January 2001, the Town of Southold indicated that the no direct application for a wetlands permit need be made by the SCWA for water main projects that do not include directional drilling under a water body. The procedure was to simply have the highway department review the SCWA plans for road opening permits, and based upon those plans and meetings in the field and/or information provided by the SCWA line-up inspector, the highway depa~hnent would advise the Board of Trustees and either accept or reject the SCWA proposal for erosion control (haybales/silt screens). A copy ofa SCWA Memorandum regarding this procedure is enclosed. That procedure has been followed by the SCWA and the Town since that time. In any event, in accordance with Mr. Finnegan's request and in the spirit of cooperation and coordination and to facilitate the provision of badly needed public water supplies to residents of the Town of Southold along the route of the proposed water main and to improve drinking water quality in the Browns Hills subdivision, please consider this an amendment of the application to the Board of Trustees regarding the above referenced application. The SCWA also respectfully reserves its legal rights with respect to this application and the issue of jurisdiction over the project by the Board of Trustees. As you are probably aware, the SCWA and the Board of Trustees has already treated this project as a Type II action under SEQR because it involves the extension of utility distribution facilities to an existing subdivision as per the statewide SEQR Type II list. An Article 78 proceeding challenging this determination was dismissed affirming the determination that the project is a Type II action. You may not be aware of the fact that the Southold Town Board had an outside consultant prepare a SEQR long environmental assessment form for this project prior to the court decision. A copy of the same is enclosed for your reference. The Long EAF prepared for the Town Board includes an analysis of potential impacts related to the construction of the transmission main in an area of potentially regulated freshwater/tidal wetlands and flood plains at page 9. Part 2 of the Long EAF at page 12 of 21 indicates that the transmission main will not affect any water body designated as protected. Part 3 of the Long EAF concludes: The proposed action would not result in any new development. June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 4 near fresh and tidal wetlands. All of the proposed project falls within this definition with the exception of the Dam Pond directional drill portion of the project (which received a separate DEC permit as noted above). When the SCWA has a project falling under its DEC general permit, the SCWA sends a letter notifying the DEC. The notification includes project location maps and photographs of the site and adjacent wetlands. Enclosed is a copy of the maps and photographs that were sent to the DEC for this project in accordance with the SCWA's DEC general permit. Fourth, there is a copy of the New York State Department of Transportation Highway Work Pemait for the project. Fifth, there is a copy of a letter from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation which indicates that the proposed project will have no adverse effect on historic or cultural resources eligible for listing or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sixth, enclosed for you convenience is a copy of the Administrative Permit that was issued for the Dam Pond portion of the project by the Board of Trustees on July 22, 2009.

A copy of the Legal Notice regarding the local law is provided as Appendix A. Consistent with the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map, the transmission main will supply existing development that is in need of public water supply due to contamination of local aquifers and private water supply wells. The transmission main conveys water to the area in need and only supplies existing development. The Town Board of the Town of Southold retained Nelson, Pope & Voorhis, LLC (NP&V) for environmental consulting services, specifically to evaluate the potential for environmental impacts related to the action and for completion of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) documentation. This document provides information regarding the potential environmental impacts of this action, to assist the Town Board in issuing a determination of significance in conformance SEQRA requirements. The Browns Hills Subdivision water supply, which draws from two local wells, has been identified by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services as representing a significant public health concern that requires the extension of public water to the area. The Suffolk County Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extcnsion Environmental Assessment Water Authority took over the Browns Hills community water system in 1998 and due to the high concentration of nitrates in groundwater, has installed reverse osmosis filter systems in 24 homes in the area. The filters am intended to provide safe drinking water at a single location in the home, for up to 5 gallons of consumable water per day. The proposed action, to provide safe drinking water via an extension of a transmission main to the existing water supply system, is proposed to eliminate the need for the filters, and provide safe clean drinking water to Browns Hills residents without restriction. In addition, existing developed properties adjacent to the transmission main, whose water quality may be impacted by agricultural activities, will have the option to connect to public water. Any new development in need of public water would require futura amendments to the Water Supply Plan Map, separate review under SEQRA, and approval by the Town Board. Page 2 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Water Supply Management in the Town The Town of Southold has limited groundwater resources which are impacted in some areas by salt water intrusion, or by past and present land use activities which have compromised water quality. For example, groundwater has been contaminated where long term use of pesticides and fertilizers by agricultural uses has occurred, and where solid waste disposal facilities have leached pollutants. These practices have rendered groundwater unsafe for human consumption in certain areas of the Town. This is the case for some of the areas east of the Dam Pond Bridge, where the transmission main is proposed, especially the Browns Hills Subdivision which has a local water supply system served by wells that do not meet NYS Standards for drinking water. 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." As part of the implementation of the WSM & WPS, the Town adopted a Water Supply Plan Map to show areas of existing and proposed public water supply. This map was designed to identify the existing public water distribution network that comprised t. he public water supply system within the Town, and proposed future extensions of the public water distribution network that the Town would recognize for installation in coordination with the SCWA. In 2006, the Town of Southold formally amended the 2000 Water Map for two reasons; to reflect the physical changes made to the water supply network; and, to set policy for the future water supply network in response to changing water supply needs and increased growth trends within the Town. Between 2000 and 2006, SCWA installed some of the originally proposed extensions of service and, at the Town's request, installed new lines in response to immediate threats to public health, safety and welfare. The SCWA Findings Statement for its Five Year Plan (2003) 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 he 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. Also, through Town policy, transmission mains may not be accessed by new development on currently vacant or subdividable land contiguous to the ~ 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. Page 3 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment mains unless the Town of Southotd either previously authorized such a connection or votes in the future to allow such a connection. 1.2 Project Background The current proposal involves the construction of a 17,763 foot 12" water main to bring safe drinking water to the Browns Hills community. According to the Fact Sheet prepared by SCWA, Browns Hills is a small community of 24 homes, currently served by two very small wells. The water quality of these wells does not meet NY State standards for drinking water as the nitrate levels are over 10 parts per million. The SCWA has fitted homes in the Browns Hills Community with a single point of use reverse osmosis filter system (RO System) to treat a small volume of water. The RO System provides 5 gallons of water per day that meets the State standard for nitrate levels in drinking water. There is a special faucet installed on the kitchen sinks of these homes to access treated water. It is the only water available for drinking or cooking use in these homes. It is noted that the wells that serve this community are shallow, are located near an existing farm, and are very vulnerable to increased contamination. The system is isolated from other SCWA systems and a pump station failure would result in loss of water for the community. The proposed transmission main would connect the Browns Hills Community to SCWA's water supply system that currently serves the Town of Southold. The SCWA fact sheet notes that there are one hundred homes along the route of the proposed transmission main that would also have the option to connect to public water as a result of the project. Consistent with the Town's policy, any new development proposals will require future amendments to the Water Supply Plan Map, separate review under SEQRA, and approval by the Town Board to allow connection to the transmission main. 1.3 SEQRA Analysis The following provides an outline of the analysis completed for this review. A Part I Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) has been prepared to provide background for this action; this is included in Appendix B. A Part II EAF was prepared to assess the magnitude and importance of impacts (Appendix B). An analysis of build out potential without public water availability and with public water. (Since the transmission main extends a distance of over 3 miles, the primary impact of concern involves growth potential in areas where the water main extension is proposed. However, since the project would make a future extension more feasible, the analysis considers the development potential under existing and proposed conditions for all parcels east of the Dam Pond Bridge (the westernmost point of the proposed extension). The following section describes the existing conditions and potential impacts of the proposed action. Page 4 of 10 Browns lfills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 2.__.~0 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS For the purpose of this analysis, the study area includes all parcels to the east of the Dam Pond Bridge in East Marion, to Orient Point. Although the extension of the transmission main would occur along Main Road between Dam Pond Bridge and Browns Hill Road, the potential for theoretical future expansion to Orient Point is also considered in order to fully analyze the potential for growth due to the availability of public water. As noted previously, the proposed project only involves extension of a transmission main to Browns Hill Road and only existing development along this route would have the option to connect. As a result, this analysis is a theoretical exercise of a worst case scenario which could only occur as a result of further action by SCWA and the Town Board through separate future actions which would also be subject to SEQRA. The analysis contained herein reviews the existing mechanisms of land use control to determine the potential build out which could occur both with and without available public water in order to determine growth potential as a result of the proposed action. 2.1 Suffolk County Sanitary Code The Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) regulates residential construction under Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code (SCSC) and has established Groundwater Management Zones which provide minimum lot sizes for residential development (and design flow restrictions for commercial development). The entire north fork of Long Island is within Groundwater Management Zone IV. For Groundwater Management Zone IV, the minimum lot size required for a single family residence under SCSC is 20,000 SF. The allowable lot size and density does not change with the availability of public water. 2.1 Zoning Town zoning is the appropriate baseline by which to consider build out potential and potential impacts due to providing available public water. The Town ultimately determines the land use pattern and build out potential through zoning. The zoning is part of the comprehensive plan of the Town and was analyzed and subject to a Generic Environmental Impact Statement as part of the Comprehensive Implementation Strategy (CIS) in 2003. The CIS included a build out analysis which included Orient Point and the areas east of the Dam Pond Bridge. Residential zoning districts are prevalent in the study area (see Figure 1). The majority of the area is zoned R-40 or greater (minimum lot size is at least one acre per home). Additional zoning districts in the study area include R-80 (2 acre minimum lot size), R-120 (three acre minimum), R-200 (five acre lots) and business districts (HB, B, MI and MII). Residential use is permitted at various densities in all zoning districts in the study area. The Town of Southold Zoning Districts for the area east of Dam Pond Bridge are at least as strict as the SCSC with respect to minimum lot size and therefore, the zoning would prohibit increased density over what is currently permitted regardless of the SCSC and/or availability of public Page 5 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment water. The following section outlines the zoning districts in the area and the potential build out under current conditions and build out with the potential for public water for the entire area. 2.2 Protected Land The study area contains an abundance of protected land, as is illustrated on Figure 22. The study area contains 1,160 tax parcels, two of which contain primarily surface water. The total area, not including surface water, is 3,140 acres of which 1,470 acres are protected which represents a 46.8% of the entire land area (not including surface water). Out of the total 3,140 acres, approximately 1,297 acres (41.3%) are currently developed. If considered based open the number of parcels, 869 parcels of 1,158 parcels are developed (75%). Based upon the Town database, there are a total of 908 parcels (2,330 acres) that are either protected or developed without potential for subdivision3. Table 1 provides a summary of the protected and developed parcels in the study area. TABLE 1 PROTECTED LANDS IN THE STUDY AREA Study area parcels* 1,158 3,140 Protected parcels 90 1,470 Percent protected 7.8% 46.8% Developed (includes agricultural) 869 1297 Developed properties without potential for subdivision and additional residential development 818 860 Percent developed with no potential for additional development 70.6% 27.4% Protected or developed parcels (with no potential for additional development) 908 2,330 Percentage developed or protected 78.4% 74.2% * Does not include 2 underwater land parcels The relevance of protected land from the perspective of this SEQRA analysis is related to the potential for development that is presently diminished, since 46.8% of the land area is protected. The combined total of protected and existing developed land (without potential for subdivision) accounts for 74.2% of the land area, indicating that there is limited opportunity for additional development. It is expected that the Town and County will continue the program of land 2 Figure 2 shows all protected parcels in the study area, including the two parcels which are primarily tmderwater and therefore omitted from the calculations in this section. Including these parcels would increase the areas of protected land and thus, the percentage of protected open space in the study area. 3 Simply adding developed parcels and open space parcels does not necessarily show the area that does not have potential for change, since 51 of the developed properties have the potential for subdivision under current zoning regulations. Page 6 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment acquisition and Purchase of Development Rights. Any further development of unprotectcd developable lands would be controlled by Town Zoning. An analysis of the build out potential (under current zoning and with public water available) is provided in Section 2.3. 2.3 Build-Out Analysis The following analyzes the potential for additional residential lots under the current zoning, which accounts for land that is already protected. During the completion of the Town of Southold Comprehensive Implementation Strategy, the Town completed a build out analysis, which estimated the number of additional residences possible under current zoning. The analysis considered property size, zoning district (minimum lot size) and subtracted environmentally sensitive lands - which would be protected under current regulations (wetlands, coastal areas). The Town has maintained the database to account for changes. Based upon current conditions and existing zoning, there are 52 parcels east of the Dam Pond Bridge which have the potential to be subdivided, for a total of 187 additional residential lots. Table 2 provides a summary of the parcels that could be subdivided in this area. TABLE 2 POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS UNDER CURRENT CONDITIONS Zoning Minimum Lot Size under Number of Sub- Potential District current zoning dividable Parcels Additional Lots HD 20,000 SF 1 1 MII 20,000 SF * 5 11 R-200 200,000 SF 3 6 R-40 40,000 SF 7 19 R-80 80,000 SF 36 150 Total 52 187 * Residential unit with community water; without public water, 40,000 SF lot is the minimum The minimum lot size required for subdivision based upon Town zoning exceeds the requirements under SCSC, with one exception (for lots zoned Marine Business II). For the remaining 51 parcels that have potential for subdivision, the availability of public water does not affect the potential build out since the Town Zoning is more restrictive. Thus, the proposal for extension of public transmission main will not impact development potential without changes in the zoning districts for these properties. The single exception is for five properties within the Marine Business II Zoning District, a district which also allows residential use. Under the current zoning, the minimum lot size for construction of a residence within the MII Zoning District is 40,000 SF and currently there is the potential for eleven additional lots. If public water were extended to these properties, the minimum lot size for residences would be reduced to 20,000 SF and the potential build out for Page 7 of 10 Browns Itills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment these parcels could be increased to 22 lots4. It is noted that the likelihood of extension to these MII zoned parcels is low, as Browns Hill Road is at least 2.3 miles from the closest MI1 Zoned property east of Dam Pond Bridge. Nevertheless, the potential for up to eleven additional lots over the current build out of 187 lots represents only 5.8% increase over the current build out. Lots which have potential for subdivision are illustrated on Figure 3 with the MII Marine Business zoned parcels referenced herein circled. 2.4 Hamlet Study According to the Town of Southold Hamlet Study, the Orient Hamlet Center contains all or portions of 9 parcels, totaling 1.8 acres. Although the recommendations of the Orient Vision includes the establishment of a HALO zone which would potentially allow single family residences at a density of I dwelling/20,000 SF, the implementation of increased density in this area would require a Change of Zone, a discretionary approval of the Town Board. The availability of public water would not increase the likelihood or feasibility of increased residential development regardless of the recommendation for a HALO zone, since the SCSC already permits residential development on 20,000 SF lots. The Town zoning requirement for all lots in the recommended HALO zone area currently exceeds this minimum lot size and a change of zone would be required to establish 20,000 SF lots. 4 It is noted that at least 2 of the 5 parcels have more than one zoning designation which would be more restrictive than the MII Zoning provision that allows one residential lot/20,000 SF area and therefore this represents a worst case analysis with respect to build out with public water availability. Further, this analysis does not include site specific analysis as it relates to NYS DEC wetland constraints, which may further restrict lot size. Page 8 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 3..___~0 ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES Preparation of the Long EAF Part II identified potential impacts related to the construction of the transmission main in an area of potentially regulated freshwater/tidal wetlands and flood plains. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) regulates activities in tidal wetlands and adjacent areas. The proposed action occurs within an existing roadbed, which is outside of the tidal wetlands jurisdictional area of the NYS DEC. However, since the transmission main will need to bc installed under the Dam Pond Channel, a DEC Permit was required and has been issued. The NYS DEC permit for the project contains conditions for construction which SCWA will need to conform to in order to protect sensitive environmental resources related to Dam Pond. According to the SCWA Fact Sheet, the SCWA will use two installation techniques, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and open cut. HDD is said to be one of the least obtrusive ways of installing mains, as it starts with drilling two holes on either end of the portion of buried main and a path is drilled underground without disturbing the waterway or land. HDD will be employed alongside the bridge on Main Road to route the main below the Dam Pond Channel (the main will be located more than 10' below the channel bottom). The area surrounding the holes will be surrounded with haybales for erosion control. Although the area of installation is within a flood zone, the construction of a water main, which is under ground, will not be impacted by flooding, nor will it impact flood potential. Page 9 of 10 Browns Hills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment 4..._~0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The analysis conducted by this office analyzed the proposed action, which involves the extension of a transmission main to the Browns Hills community on Browns Hill Road in Orient. The proposed action would allow for existing developed properties to connect to public water and the provision of clean safe drinking water in a community whose water supply is currently compromised. The proposed action would not result in any new development. The analysis conducted illustrates that the only potential increase in development is unlikely and not significant even if it were to occur in the future. The additional development that could occur is for residential development on Mil Marine Business zoned parcels that currently could result in eleven new dwellings without public water. The availability of public water to these properties in Orient Point (which would require a substantial extension from Browns Hill Road - at least 2.3 miles) would allow for 20,000 SF lots as opposed to the current 40,000 SF lots required by the Town and build out would be increased to maximum of eleven additional lots. Any application for connection to the transmission main for new development would require a future amendment of the Town Water Supply Plan Map, which requires approval by the Town Board of the Town of Southold, a full SEQRA review and individual impacts analyzed on a site specific basis. The availability of public water will not, in and of itself, alter development patterns or result in increased density. Further, based upon the information provided regarding water quality in the shallow groundwater which is the sole drinking water source for the community it is expected that the proposed action and availability for connections by existing dwellings in the vicinity will result in significant public health, safety and welfare benefits.

The proposed local law entitled, "A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD WATER SUPPLY PLAN MAP EXTENDiNG A WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN TO THE BROWNS HILLS SUBDIVISION iN ORIENT" reads as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. 2010 A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to Amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map Extending a Water Transmission Main to the Browns Hills Subdivision in Orient" BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: Section 1. Legislative Intent. This Local Law proposes to amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Historically, the Water Supply Plan Map reflects the physical changes in the water supply network since 2000. The Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Health Services have represented to the Town that the groundwater quality of existing wells supplying the Browns Hills area are inadequate and pose a significant concern that requires the extension of public water to the area. The extension of the transmission main is intended to supply existing development only and is not intended to result in additional development pressure in the area. Section 2. Enactment. Based on the goals of the Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Health Services to provide safe drinking water to the Browns Hills Subdivision, and upon our consideration of the recommendation of the Suffolk County Water Authority and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, the environmental consultant retained by the Town and the public comments taken at the public hearing, we hereby amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Section 3. The Southold Water Supply Plan Map as adopted by Resolution No. 31 on June 20, 2000 by the Town Board, and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2007-603, is hereby amended to reflect the extension ora water transmission main to the Browns Hills Subdivision. Section 4. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid. Section 5. Effective Date. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by law. Dated: February 23, 2010 BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD Elizabeth Neville Town Clerk Browns ltills Subdivision Transmission Main Extension Environmental Assessment APPENDIX B Long EAF Parts I and II 617.20 Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information Lo 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 in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a poLentially-large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. THIS AREA FOR LEAD AGENCY USE ONLY DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE -- Type I and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: M Part1 M Part2 I~lPart3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: F~A. The project not result any large important impact(s) and, therefore, one not a in is have significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be pmgared. DB. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.* The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. *A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Transmission Main Extension for Browns Hills Subdivision Name of Action Town Board of the Town of Southold Name of Lead Agency Scott Russell Town Supervisor Print or Type Name of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Signature of Preparer (If different from responsible officer) website April 20, 2010 Date Page 1 of 21 PART 1--PROJECT INFORMATION Prepared by Project Sponsor NOTICE: This document is designed to assist in determining whether the action proposed may have a significant effect on the environment. Please complete the entire form, Parts A through E. Answers to these questions will be considered as part of the application for approval and may be subject to further verification and public review. Provide any additional information you believe will be needed to complete Parts 2 and 3. It is expected that completion of the full EAF will be dependent on information currently available and will not involve new studies, research or investigation.

Page 10 of 21 PART 2 - PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of Lead Agency General Information (Read Carefully) · In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been reasonable? 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 and/or 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 each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are i~lustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. · The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. · In identifying impacts, consider long term, shot[ term and cumulative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to 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 lower than example, check column 1. 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 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to 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? 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%. Construction on land where the depth to the water table is less than 3 feet. Construction of paved parking area for 1,000 or more vehicles. Construction on land where bedrock is exposed or generally within 3 feet of existing ground surface. Construction that will continue for more than 1 year or involve more than one phase or stage. Excavation for mining purposes that would remove more than 1,000 tons of natural material (i.e., rock or soil) per year. 1 2 3 Small to Potential Can Impact Be Moderate Large Mitigated by impact Impact Project Change [] [] []Yes ON• [] [] []Yes []No [] [] []Yes I--IN• [] [] DYes DNO [] [] DYes •No [] [] DYes []No Page 11 of 21 1 2 3 Small to Potential Can impact Be Moderate Large Mitigated by Impact Impact Project Change Construction or expansion of a santary landfill.

AIl disturbed areas where soil is temporarily exposed or stockpiled for longer than one day, shall be. covered with a tarp or contained by a continuous line of staked haybales placed on the downslope or wetland side. 8. Before trenching or excavation can begin within 100 feet of any regulated wetland, proper erosion control structures must be in place. A silt screen (maximum opening Sieve #20) and haybale barrier must be . ~ected in order to effectively prevent excavated sediments from eroding into the wetlands or protected area. When the barrier is erected on sloped areas, haybales must be recessed into the ground 2 to 4 inches and the Silt screen recessed 6 inches to prevent underwash of sediment laden runoff. The barrier must be properly maintained to ensure its proper function until all disturbed areas are repaved and/or revegetated. Sediments trapped by the bales shall be removed and reused or transported to an approved upland location before the bales themselves are removed. 9~ All fill shall consist of "clean" gravel and soil (not asphalt, slag, fiyash, broken concrete or demolition debris).

Dewatedng using a 30 gallon per minute capacity trench pump is authorized. Direct discharge to storm :drains is prohibited. AIl groundwater discharges must be contained within a haybale and silt screen barrier to effectively contain all sediment laden discharge, and a sediment filter bag must be attached to the outfall p~pe. When discharging to unpaved areas, a splash pad must be erected to prevent additional turbidity caused by scouring of the unpaved area. 12. All areas of soil disturbance resulting from water main installations shall be seeded with an appropriate perennial grass and mulched with straw immediately upon completion of the work at each site. Mulch shall be maintained until a suitable vegetative cover is established. If seeding is impracticable due to the time of year,a temporary mulch shall be applied and final seeding shall be performed as soon as weather conditions favor germination and growth. t3. During construction, concrete or leachate shall not escape or be discharged, nor shall washings from [tarlsit mix trucks, mixers, or other devices enter tidal wetlands, freshwater wetlands, and or protected buffer 'a~eas. ~[4, :All equipment and machinery shall be stored and safely contained greater than 100 feet landward of the regulated wetland or water body at the end of each work day. This will serve to avoid the inadvertent 'it~akage of deleterious substances into the wetlands. Fuel or other chemical storage tanks shall be located at all times in an area greater than 100 feet from any wetland or water body. If the above requirement cannot be met by the permittee, then the storage areas must be designed to completely contain any and all potential leal~age. Such a containment system must be approved by NYSDEC staff prior to equipment, machinery or tank storage within 100 feet of any regulated wetland.

Edu Subject: [NEWSENDER] - Wetlands Pipeline Permit Application by SCWA - Message is from an unknown sender Dear Lauren Standish Since I will not be able to attend the Southold Town Trustees meeting on July 21, I would appreciate it very much if you would place copies of this email in the mailboxes of the Board members listed below because I have very strong opinions regarding the application by Suffolk County Water Authority for a wetlands permit to lay a 12" pipeline in the road bed of Route 25 that passes by Dam Pond. I think there are potentially disastrous pipeline consequences that they should be aware of. Thank you, Michael D. Delano To Southold Town Board of Trustees: Jill Doherty, President James King, Vie-President Dave Bergen Bob Ghosio Jr. John Bredemeyer My name is Michael D. Delano and I have a PhD in physics and extensive Post Doctoral Fellowship training in astrophysics and physiological physics. My wife, Barbara G. Delano, MD, MPH, is a Full Professor of Medicine and a Full Professor of Public Health at SUNY Down State medical school in Brooklyn. I mention these credentials in order to emphasize that we are not armatures when it comes to scientific matters and strongly urge you to deny SCWA's wetlands permit application until a thorough, independent, environmental impact study is done to evaluate the fragility of Dam Pond's ecosystem. Here's why: 1) For 191/2 year we have owned a house and a three acre plot of land whose southern boundary extends across Route 25 to Orient Harbor. We have right of way to Dam Pond and Trumans Beach where we have easily walked our Golden Retrievers 2000 times in that time period and I doubt that there is anyone who knows that ecosystem as well as we do. For example: on the north shore of Dam Pond is a rare variety of Sea Lavender that is on the EPA protected list. There is an extensive colony of several thousand fiddler crabs. There are ribbed-horse mussel that filter the water so marine microorganisms can thrive there. My wife and I have used a research-grade microscope to examine Dam Pond's waters and have been continually startled by the vast variety of micro-marine organisms that live there. Before we bought this place we asked our son, who has a BS in marine biology and an MS in oceanography, to look it over: Our son, after eight hours of inspection, said that there were no trees in the Dam Pond region that were older than 90 years and wondered if there was periodic flooding that might be responsible and seriously questioned the long-term stability of this unique, but fragile, ecosystem. 2) I have done some map measurements and calculations that may be of interest to you. Dam Pond has a water surface area of 100 acres, a mean depth of 4 feet and contains about 130 million gallons of salt water. Because of the tides in Orient Harbor about 1.5 billion gallons of water of flow in and out of Dam Pond in the course of a year; all of it through that narrow channel over which the Route 25 bridge passes and under which the proposed water main would tunnel. While very rare, I have seen harbor water barreling through that narrow channel at speeds approaching 15 mph during severe storms. A one foot section of that proposed pipeline exposed to such violent flows would experience a fome of 15,000 pounds and I seriously wonder if 7/19/2010 Page 2 of 2 SCWA has considered the very real possibility of rupture and its consequences for Dam Pond. Note that the interior salinity of marine organism and plant cells is the same as that of their exterior salinity: If pure H20 due to pipe rupture surrounds the indigenous living cells in Dam Pond they will swell and burst and die because of absorption of pure H20 by osmosis! 3) Dam Pond has an extensive system of sandy mud-fiats that are stabilized by an equally extensive root system of marsh-like grasses. If pollutants kill the root system, the mud-fiats will eventually be disrupted by tides and the only thing separating Orient Harbor from the Long Island Sound is Trumans Beach which is less than 75 yards wide. In the 19v2 years we have been here the ferry traffic along Route 25 has increased substantially and I have seen the accumulation of auto-exhaust oil deposits in the western terminus of Dan Pond. Accompanying this pollution has been accompanied by the gradual disappearance of beach grass and sea lavender on the south-western shore of Dam Pond. What will be the pollutants and ecological consequences of a tunnel-pipeline excavation on Route 25 adjacent to Dam Pond?. Its hard to believe, but the only thing that separates Orient from the "Long Island Main Land" is skinny Trumans Beach. Could $CWA's pipeline project turn Orient into an island like Plum Island? I urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to deny SCWA's permit application and insist that a thorough, independent, environmental impact study on the Dam Pond region be done should SCWA renew their application.

Nor do I see accurate documentation ora thorough environmental report or know what the new plan would take from our existing aquifers. Instead, how about promoting burying the utility poles along the causeway between East Marion and Orient? This is one of the most beautiful sections of roadway in the N. Fork, blighted by the poles and wires. Further, drivers race to the Ferry, and several have been seriously injured or even fatally wrapped their cars around the poles. The S. Fork seems to have managed to bury their poles, and I surely wish we could too.

Until such time the Board is satisfied following the study, we urge that the permit for the construction not be granted. Thank you very much. sincerely, John & Nina Winter Orient JUL ~ 9 2010 Sout~okl Town ~03rd 0{ Trustees Brown's Hills Estates, Inc. P.O.Box 254 Orient, New York 11957 Jill Doherty President Southold Board James Krug, V~ce-Pres~dent Dave Bergen Bob Ghosio Jr. John Bredemeyer July 20, 2010 Dear President Doherty and Trustees, RE: SCWA application for wetlands permit for pipeline to Browns Hills, Orient On behalf of the residents of Browns Hills Estate Inc., I am writing to ask you to dismiss SCWA's latest application for a permit to drill under Dam Pond and in other sensitive areas, to bring a water main into Orient. Their previous application was for a small segment of a much larger project: all of Orient. None of us living on Browns Hills heard anything about their proposal until the Fall of 2009. Neither we, nor anyone else in Orient was present to raise the alarm when you reviewed that permit. Since then, we have all learned a lot. We believe any one of the following is grounds for dismissal or rejection of the permit in its current form and at the present time: The application is for a segment of the project as long planned by SCWA. This is illegal. I understand, under SEQRA. SCWA told me personally, at the meeting with Congressman Bishop last week, that their intention when they purchased the Browns Hills system in 1997 was to bring in a pipeline and serve all of Orient. They told Governor Paterson, in their application for stimulus monies, that the pipeline would serve Brown Hills, houses along the road, and the need for water among all 700+ Orient residents. The Southold Town Board, listening to the residents of Orient, voted to reject a proposed amendment to the Town's Water Map and, therefore, to allowing SCWA to extend their pipeline into Orient, via Dam Pond and other sensitive areas. Southold Town's Attorney followed up this decision with a letter to SCWA's Office of the CEO stating very clearly that SCWA should let the Town complete its new Comprehensive Plan before attempting to move ahead. Furthermore, he stated that SCWA should demonstrate a clear desire on the part of Orient residents. To be filing for a new wetlands permit at this time seems entirely inappropriate and out of order. James Gaughran, new Chairman of SCWA stated to me at last week's meeting with Congressman Bishop that SCWA has heard our objections and has no intention of forcing themselves into Orient against our wishes. The project has, therefore, become hypothetical - something that might happen in the future, as new CEO Jeff Szabo suggested in the Suffolk Times. We ask you to dismiss their application until the project is once again an active one. The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has clearly stated that they do not accept the concept ora "transmission" main. SCWA is using this concept to argue that they are simply connecting 2 parts of their current system and that, as such, they have no need to conduct a full environmental review, or to canvass the residents of Orient. This is disingenuous. If the SCDHS does not accept the notion of a transmission main, neither should the Southold Board of Trustees. I look forward to being with you on Wednesday at your hearing and strongly urge you to dismiss or reject SCWA's most recent application for a wetlands permit.

King, Bergen, Ghosio, Jr.and Bredemeyer. Please deny the Suffolk County Water Authority's (SCWA) renewed effort to expand their operations to Orient by digging a pipeline via the Causeway across Dam Pond, under the guise of bringing water to our neighbors in Browns' Hills. SCWA's application to be considered by the Southold Town (ST) Board of Trustees on Wednesday, July 21 is segmented; it does not represent SCWA's stated plan to service 700+ households in Orient. Such segmentation is illegal under NYS SEQRA. Unlike SCW^'s usual procedure, there has been no objective, third-party survey of Orient residents in their haste to dig such pipeline. SCWA should be directed by the ST Board of Trustees to, at the very least, wait 'til ST's Comprehensive Plan is completed, as previously requested by the ST Board. SCWA stated last week, after it's meeting with Mr. Russell, two Browns' Hills residents and Rep. Bishop that the pipeline is "dead", that SCWA is requesting another permit in case Orient residents change their mind. Orient residents will never change their minds about a pipeline that has been fomed upon them, and is designed to access the Lloyd Aquifer so that Orient's water can shipped to Western Suffolk County, where SCWA's limited water supply is compromised and, as evidenced last week, is already running out. We in Orient have been hard at work to siop SCWA's proposed pipeline for almost a year, at great cost in effort and legal fees. Please stop the madness imposed on us by Suffolk County Water Authority, which, in my opinion, is an out-of-control organization using thuggish tactics to impose its finance- driven will on the citizens of Orient. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments. Thank you. Sincerely, MaryAnnLiberatore cc: Ms. Jill Doherty Messrs.

It is especially alarming since SCWA has failed to demonstrate whether at least 40% of homeowners want to hook up to SCWA water. Another concern is the damage that could happen to affect the environmental ecosystem in the bay due to pressure breakage in the pipe line under the Dam Pond channel, especially since there have been about 200 broken pipes a year, especially during winter freezes according to former CEO Michael LoGrande. A particular concern is the quality of water and the forced hook-up in many instances, leaving residents unable to use their own wells.

My husband Barry and I live in Orient. We have intentionally been publicly silent about the water pipeline because of the intense acrimony of the situation. We certainly do not want to raise the temperature of the argument. In fact we thought the debate was over and we had completely lost the possibility of public water for Orient. Maybe it isn't over and we should state our thoughts. We favor the water pipeline for a number of reasons. Firstly, we dislike half-truths and scare tactics. At the outset of the public water controversy we were told it "was a fact" that public water would cause all farm acreage to be redeveloped into quarter-acre lots, resulting in destruction of Orient with hundreds of new residents and a loss of the pristine beauty we all love. More recently, the use of chlorine in public water was proof that the SCWA would be introducing a "know~ carcinogen" in our otherwise perfect water. However, the use of highly dilute chlorine in public water systems is a universal standard. NYC'S water system has chlorine as an additive to protect the public from some of the dangerous substances occuring in water supplies. Another frequently mentioned idea is that SCWA is "stealing" our water to give to others! When did sharing become out of style? In addition, running pipes beneath bodies of water has not had any negative effect as far as we know and is widely accepted as a non-event from an environmental standpoint. But worst of all, in all this screaming, has been the lack of reasoned dialogue with an opportunity for all points of view to be considered. We mostly don't want $outhold Town to succumb to the kind of bully tactics that seem to be taking the place of reasoned discourse. We have heard quiet stories of wells in Orient that have salt water intrusion. If this is true, shouldn't we try to provide viable drinking water to these households?

Furthermore, Cong. Tim Bishop's website states the following: BISHOP, SCWA AGREE TO HALT BROWNS HILLS PROJECT 05/03/10 Proposal would Halt Project, Water Authority will Work to Transfer Responsibility for Providing Clean Water to Southold Town Orient, NY--Congressman Tim Bishop announced that as a result of discussions last week and over the weekend with the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) that a proposed project for the Browns Hills section of Orient has been put on hold and the SCWA will work with the Town of Southold to take over responsibility for providing clean water to the area. Congressman Bishop called Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell to inform him of the development this morning. However, at the latest town meeting .luly 21, the SCWA announced that they will begin work on the pipeline to Browns Hills two days after Labor Day!!!! The people of Orient have spoken, clearly, that they do not want the SCWA involved in their water systems. The residents of Browns Hills currently use filters for their water and are totally satisifed with its cleanliness. The few Orient residents who have contaminated water can use the same method to clean their water, for much less cost that the $4H that SWCA says the pipeline will cost. As an Orient resident, !, too, use well water, which has been tested and is perfectly healthy for my family and two young grandchildren. This is the case with the majority of residents. We DO NOT, as the SCWA says on its website, have the worst water on the North Fork!! If the great majority of residents do not the SCWA, why do they persist in wanting to build the pipeline. Is it to get the $4M US govt. funds on their profit statement, and to show they are growing, rather than the actual case which is that their funds are diminishing? It is a documented fact that $CWA will not be able to provide water any cleaner than that which 7/26/2010 Page 2 of 2 the majority of our residents all have from private wells.

G_et~busy_. 7/26/2010 3180 Orchard Street Orient, New York July 24, 2010 To:The Southold Town Trustees Dear Trustees, I will take the opportunity to address in writing some of the points I had tried to make on Wednesday. Our attorney, Chris Murray, referenced two specific clauses in the Town code, one requiring start and finish dates of the project, and the other requiring that the Board address the issue of the safety, health and welfare of the community. While Mr. Hopkins contributed start and stop dates which might or might not be real, the second issue was not addressed at all. The application is incomplete. Moreover, the application referenced an EAF which was prepared by the Southold Town consultants for the amendment to the law, which was ultimately voted down, and not for the project itself. However, in the narrative with the EAF, the consultants assume the eventual extension of the main to Orient Point, and evaluate the possible impacts. It is clear that this is a segmented application, illegal under SEQRA. In evidence, we have the following documents and references: The Board of SCWA adopted a resolution on April 26 to amortize the cost of the main extension among the 772 homes in Orient. A Department of Health document insists that SCWA provide service as far as Orient Point. The application for stimulus funds references all 774 homes. The Governor's letter listing the award of funds references all 774 homes. The consultants' narrative posits the possible addition of 187 to 198 homes if the main extends to Orient Point; that represents a significant increase of density of approximately 25%. Although the consultants recognize the probability of the extension of the main to Orient Point, their EAF pretends it will stop at Brown's Hills. Specifically, on page 19 of the consultants' EAF, the following should be reflected, whether the main were to go as far as Brown's Hills or the Point: The application is in conflict with official goals. Southold Town has been actively pursuing the preservation of farmland and open space. There would be a significant change in density of land use. There would be an increased demand for community service. And there certainly is community opposition. There would also be a significant increase in traffic, congesting a road already subjected to Cross Sound Ferry traffic. Given these probable outcomes, Suffolk County Water Authority should be required to submit an unsegmented application and to prepare a full Environmental Impact Statement as per a SEQRA Type I designation, as recommended by the Conservation Advisory Council.

In fact, it would be about the only beneficial project that has come down the road as long as I have lived here. The true support for these projects comes from the people who sign up when they see the project underway. Until the hole is being dug, all the talk and posturing is meaningless (look at this project going back to April,2009!) So, I encourage you to approve the SCWA application to allow for placing a public water main from East Marion to Orient. "Orient" should be whereever there are people who need a reliable supply of clean water. Anyone who chooses not to take part is free to decline. Unfortunately, previous "public" hearings on this subject were followed by private meetings of a select group with a politician or two. After the private meetings, broad statements were made to the press about the demise of the project. I was never assured that both sides were equally represented at the "private" meetings.

Orient, NY. 11957 7/27/2010 ju~ 24,2010 Jill Dohetty, President James King, Vice-President Dave Bergen Bob Ghosio, Jr. John Bredemeyer VIA EMAIL Dear Southold Trustees, Like many other Orient residents, I attended Wednesday's Trustees meeting hoping to speak. It was a great disappointment that the SCWA application - so important to everyone in Southold Town - was at the end of the agenda. Standing out in the hall before the meeting, a neighbor who is in his eighties said, "There's something about going over that causeway. It doesn't matter what season of the year or if you've been there 10,000 times before." The group of us standing there smiled and nodded because we all know what a fragile and remarkable place the causeway is. Nothing has united the citizens of Orient like this struggle between SCWA and the common people. No matter whether your family has lived here for six generations or you just arrived five years ago, we all stand united (but for a very small minority) in resistance to "improvements" that are unnecessary and will negatively affect our quality of life. Before the Trustees is a proposal to drill a water line across the Orient/East Marion Causeway. This fragile barrier is unlikely to survive the next hurricane, leaving Orient with potentially no water at all. Scallop and oyster beds are just beginning to be re-established alongside the causeway. And all of Suffolk County enjoys the state park at the far end of Orient, accessible only by the causeway. For the Trustees to approve this end run around a project (the SCWA pipeline) that all parties have agreed to cease action on, is a dereliction of your duty to protect our wetlands against unnecessary intrusion and damage. A strong message from the Trustees to place the ecosystem ahead of corporate greed is what Southold Town most needs now. We trust that you will recognize your duties to all of Southold Town and will vote "No" on this application at your August meeting.

Box 1179 Southold, NY, 11971 Dear Trustees: JUL 2 7 20~0 SouthotdTow~ Board of Trustees We learned at the July 21 meeting that you are still open to comments regarding the SCWA's application to lay a water pipeline to the Browns Hill section of Orient. Please, therefore, add our comments to those expressed at the meeting by opponents of the SCWA application. My husband and I have owned a home in Orient for the past 18 years. We have our own water well, which we pay to have tested regularly by the Suffolk County Health Department. All previous tests have shown no contamination of any sort. However, at our most recent testing within the past year, results indicated that the nitrates exceeded optimum levels. We questioned the reading, and asked the health department if we should have the water retested by a private agency of our own choosing. The Suffolk Health Dept said they would instead come out and take a new water sample. They did that and it was determined that the nitrate level did NOT exceed optimum levels. We were subsequently surprised to learn that an overly high level of nitrates is being cited by the SCWA as one of the reasons Orient needs public water. Our personal experience would seem to bring into question the testing methodology used throughout the community.. The SCWA proposal is to spend a significant amount of federal stimulus money on the pipeline. It is quite obvious as a result of public hearings and meetings that the great majority of residents of Orient DO NOT want the SCWA to bring public water to our area. is there not a better place to spend these funds? Does not the current budget crisis in the State of New York cry out for more funds to be spent on areas such as unemployment counseling, creation of more jobs, education...the list is seemingly endless. Why waste the money on something wherein the supposed recipients of this largesse are strongly against receiving it? While we have heard that the SCWA application did not adequately fill in ail the legal nooks and crannies, we do not really feel that is strong enough reason to deny the application, as some of the our fellow opponents suggest.

WATTS 605 Village Lane Orient, NY 11957 (917) 586-9637 dwatts~echalk.com July 27, 2010 Jill Doherty President Southold Board of Trustees 53095 Route 25 P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Dear Mrs. Doherty, I write in regard to agenda item #16 of the July 21, 2010 Board Meeting. The item read: 16. SUFFOLK COUNTY WA TER AUTHORITY requests a Wetland Permit for the installation of a water transmission main in road bed of Route 25. Located: Route 25, East Marion to Browns Hill Rd., Orient I strongly oppose the granting of this Wetland Permit, for the following reasons: The pipeline is not necessary: 1. My wife and I have just conducted extensive testing of the water at our house on Village Lane and found NO contaminants exceeding EPA standards. My parents tested their house on Harbor River Road and found NO contaminants exceeding EPA standards. I believe that almost all of the houses in Orient have perfectly potable water. 2. For those few isolated houses that do have water issues, the town can and should provide effective (and much less expensive) filtering. The pipeline will provide leverage for further and more dense development in Orient: 1. Development always follows water eventually, despite the best intentions of those that set zoning regulations. The vast majority of residents do not want public water in Orient. I believe that you have the interests of the people of Orient Hamlet at heart and I trust that you will NOT grant permission for this water main. With warm regards, Daniel Watts 3180 Orchard Street Orient, New York July 24, 2010 To:The Southold Town Trustees Dear Trustees, I will take the opportunity to address in writing some of the points I had tried to make on Wednesday. Our attorney, Chris Murray, referenced two specific clauses in the Town code, one requiring start and fmish dates of the project, and the other requiring that the Board address the issue of the safety, health and welfare of the community. While Mr. Hopkins contributed start and stop dates which might or might not be real, the second issue was not addressed at all. The application is incomplete. Moreover, the application referenced an EAF which was prepared by the Southold Town consultants for the amendment to the law, which was ultimately voted down, and not for the project itself. However, in the narrative with the EAF, the consultants assume the eventual extension of the main to Orient Point, and evaluate the possible impacts. It is clear that this is a segmented application, illegal under SEQRA. In evidence, we have the following documents and references: The Board of SCWA adopted a resolution on April 26 to amortize the cost of the main extension among the 772 homes in Orient. A Department of Health document insists that SCWA provide service as far as Orient Point The application for stimulus funds references all 774 homes. The Governor's letter listing the award of funds references all 774 homes. The consultants' narrative posits the possible addition of 187 to 198 homes if the main extends to Orient Point; that represents a significant increase of density of approximately 25%. Although the consultants recognize the probability of the extension of the main to Orient Point, their EAF pretends it will stop at Brown's Hills. Specifically, on page 19 of the consultants' EAF, the following should be reflected, whether the main were to go as far as Brown's Hills or the Point: The application is in conflict with official goals. Southold Town has been actively pursuing the preservation of farmland and open space. There would be a significant change in density of land use. There would be an increased demand for community service. And there certainly is comm~mity opposition. There would also be a significant increase in traffic, congesting a road already subjected to Cross Sound Fen-y traffic. Given these probable outcomes, Suffolk County Water Authority should be required to submit an unsegmented application and to prepare a full Environmental Impact Statement as per a SEQRA Type I designation, as recommended by the Conservation Advisory Council.

I believe it is your civic and legal duty to reject the suffo~k-~u~~'~ater Authority's application for a wetlands permit for a transmission line From East Marion to Browns Hills, as it fails to fulfill many criteria: SECTION 275.12 THE TRUSTEES MAY ADOPT A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT TO PERFORM OPERATIONS APPLIED FOR ONLY IF IT DETERMINES THAT SUCH OPERATIONS WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY: A. ADVERSELY AFFECT THE WETLANDS OF THE TOWN. B. ADVERSELY AFFECT FISH, SHELLFISH OR OTHER BENEFICIAL MARINE ORGANISMS, AQUATIC WILDLIFE AND VEGETATION OR THE NATURAL HABITAT THEREOF. The Causeway from the bridge at Dam Pond into Orient is already highly susceptible to flood and storm-tide damage. The wall has been breached. The Army Corps of Engineers is trying to fix it. Serious engineering studies need to be conducted to see what pressure the pipeline will be under as it crosses the causeway -under and through wetlands. The question is not: Will there be a hurricane? But: when will there be a hurricane? The risks of a break in the water main need to be assessed more thoroughly because the damage one would cause would be enormous. Even without storms, SCWA deals with 200+ frozen and broken pipes in their system every winter. Think: fresh water from the pipe pouring into Dam Pond, the bird conservation area, out into Orient Harbor and the fishing, scallop and oyster nurseries, etc. could be devastating. C. CAUSE SALT WATER INTRUSION INTO THE FRESH WATER RESOURCES OF THE TOWN. E. INCREASE THE DANGER OF FLOOD AND STORM-TIDE DAMAGE. The Orient aquifer is a distinct and irreplaceable aquifer, a ,,bubble" of fresh water surround by salt water held in a very fragile balance. Piping in additional fresh water from the outside (filled with chemicals like chlorine) upsets this balance, raises the water table, and accelerates salt water intrusion (since salt water is heavier than fresh) putting the fresh water wells of the 90 to 95% of Orient residents not hooked up to the pipeline at risk. It's an irreversible vicious cycle that threatens the aquifer, and the free clean water supplies of Orient residents -- to the benefit of SCWA and their monopoly ability to charge increasing numbers for water. Think: anyone who has suffered the floods in the Village, our farms or Narrow River Road after a rainstorm understands how crucial it is to protect the water table. I. OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN. J. ADVERSELY AFFECT THE AESTHETIC VALUE OF THE WETLAND AND ADJACENT AREAS SCWA builds pipelines to last 100 years. I ask the Trustees to think about the consequences of this pipeline over that time period. As you know, SCWA's partial declaration of their full intent, "segmentation", is illegal, and the Trustees should not be a party to it. The pipeline to ! BroWns Hills is just one segment of a much larger intended project: to bring public water to all of Orient, and possibly to pump water out of Orient through the pipeline. This means there will be more digging and installing all the way to Orient Point, throughout the Village, in existing sub-divisions, ultimately doWn Narrow River Road. The 50 - 100 year consequences of this will, without a doubt, trigger more development in Orient - at denser levels than current zoning permits. That in turn leads to more pollution and sewage, as housing and development are by far the biggest contributor's to poor water quality in areas like ours. Anyone who doubts this and thinks current zoning is sufficient or defensible has not looked at what is happening on the South Fork as public water gains a hold there. There is not a single instance of public water intrusion we can find in Suffolk County that has not led directly to development. Outside developers are already holding large tracts of land in Orient, and at least one is already on the record supporting public water in order to get in. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SCWA IS USING IN ITS APPLICATION: A. APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE TOWN IN THE FORM OF THE WATER SUPPLY MAP AMENDMENT. The Southold Town Board rejected this unanimously. Why the Trustees are even considering this application given they are part of Southold Town is a big question. B. PART 2, Q 20, IS THERE LIKELY TO BE PUBLIC CONTROVERSY RELATED TO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS? SCWA states no, despite the strong and very public opposition from both of the North Fork's leading environmental organizations, hundreds of citizens, as well as leading farmers, and fishermen. This is disingenuous at best. C. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DEMAND FOR THIS WATER SUPPLY IN ORIENT. All 24 households in Brown's Hills (the people to be served) are adamantly opposed to the pipeline. Along the pipeline route, only 17 of 137 household surveyed by SCWA want the pipeline at this time. More broadly, close to 300 Orient residents out of 700+ households have already signed a petition that says "Not at this time" Claims made by SCWA counsel to the Southold Town Board that they have a "80% majority" are disingenuous at best.

It seems clear that representatives of SCWA have lied outright about every issue since this project was first proposed. They have improperly filed applications, they have left important information off applications, they have falsely claimed statistics in their favor, and they have given public statements that they later reversed. Given this history of untrustworthiness, how can any of you believe anything they say now? How can any of you trust that what they propose now to do is what they will in fact do? How can you trust or believe that what is written on the application is true? The larger issue here is what SCWA will actually do once it gets its pipeline into Orient. There are reports that SCWA is running out of water and wants to tap into the aquifer deep under Orient, to take Orient's water and deliver it elsewhere. Have any of you investigated these reports? You must, before you consider this application. Orient is united in its opposition to $CWA bringing its pipeline into our community, while there are other communities that are begging for it. Doesn't this fact alone show that something is wrong here? Why is SCWA determined to come into a community that does not want them, and why does it refuse to help a community that does want them? You must investigate this too, before you consider this application. Being Trustees does not mean that you must blindly trust an organization that has proven itself to be wholly untrustworthy. Look to the future of Orient and Southold town, and stand firm against SCWA'S bullying!

We share the objections voiced in the Orient Water News but will not take up space copying it here as you have it already. Beyond that, the SCWA has behaved in such a duplicitous manner that one evidently cannot trust them to do what they say they want to do.

US; Ma[c@rnarcalessi.cOm; Ed@EdRomaine com; Russell, Scott; tkelly@timesr.~view, com; info~o~ient~'ater, info [NEWSENDER] - To the Southold Town Trustees: Oi-ibtit~V-at'6i'Tv~6 ~/~e~ra~P-er-m t Application - Message is from an unknown sender Dear Members of the Southold Town Trustees, As a long time resident of Orient, living at 295 Village Lane, I am writing to oppose the application by the SCWA for a wetlands permit to install a pipeline from East Marion to Brown's Hills. I know of no issue that has so united the citizens of Orient. Folks out here are overwhelming opposed to this ill-conceived plan. I attended your recent hearing on this issue, and I came away discouraged by its tone. Most worrisome was your attorney, Lori Hulse, stating that you, the board, could approve the application even if it was not filed in accordance with the laws. But even if the SCWA had filed a tight and legal application, which many believe they did not, you still would not be required to approve it IF such approval would result in damage to the quality of the wetlands and the health, welfare, and general safety of the community. It is for these reasons that I urge you to vote against granting the permit. Many issues before you are of relatively small scope--"Can a few more feet be added to the dock?", "Can we cut some more phragmite?", "Can we reconstruct the retaining wall?"--but this application is of a different order, with the potential to damage the wetlands of Orient and the rural nature of our community forever. By focusing on the small issue of laying the pipe in the roadbed, which might or might not hurt the wetlands, you will be avoiding the larger issue of what damage will result to the wetlands over the years AS A RESULT OF THE PIPE? Once Orient is opened to the big developments that the piped water will encourage, the last vestige of rural Long Island will be forever lost. And all of that new construction and the resulting larger population will stress the wetlands. This has the potential to be the most critical wetlands' protection vote you will ever cast. Now is the time to say enough is enough. And this is not just to benefit Orient and the natural world that exists there--many people come from the city and down island to Southold to enjoy, admire, and appreciate the beautiful wetlands of the East End. When things finally are as built up here as they are in Nassau County, there will be no reason for tourists to visit our beautiful world. They might as well go to Jones Beach, saving money and gas. And when that happens, all of Southold Town will suffer economically. Our economies need the tourist dollars which are attracted to our pristine environment, our environment that sets Southold apart. You men and women, as our representatives, have the power to say no to this application. At the recent meeting, several permits were altered or denied because one or more of you felt uncomfortable. "I would be more comfortable if the fragmite were cut by land" "I would be more comfortable if the septic system were moved several feet." I urge you, as you to consider this application, to think into the future and to ask yourself just how comfortable you will be knowing that your approval of this flawed application resulted in irreparable damage to the wetlands and the way of life of Southold Town. Please take into count that the citizens of Orient do not want the SCWA's intrusion, that The Southold Town Board is against this project, and that Congressmen Tim Bishop has brokered a moratorium. Please, as our representatives, speak with one voice with these others and vote to deny this permit. Most sincerely, Charles Dean 295 Village Lane Page 1 of 1 Standish, Lauren From: wjstroh meyer@optonline.net Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 2:50 PM To: Standish, Lauren Cc: Jon.

Setting aside the rude and abrupt way you and your attorney handled all speakers, I must ask what I believe to be a key question, "Where is your jurisdiction in this matter?" The distance from Dam Pond bridge to Browns Hills Road is 2.8 miles and 1 have divided it into segments for discussion: Southold Town Trustees' Jurisdiction a) The first 0.8 mile, bridge to Truman's Beach b) The next 0.4 mile, Truman's Beach to Orient sign (Truman's Beach Park Trustees jurisdiction) c) The next 0.2 mile, Orient sign to Latham's Farm Stand (within 100' of some form of wetland?) d) The next 1.4 miles, Farm Stand to Browns Hills Road (the water ranges from over 100 yards to V2 mile away) Yes No Hence, you might arguably have jurisdiction because the water is less than 100' away for the first 0.8 mile, but from there on you clearly have no jurisdiction. Hence all you have to do is withdraw your first permit as it was in error - it exceeded your responsibilities and tell the SCWA you cannot grant what is not in your purview as to the second and current request, "Application by Suffolk County Water Authority for a wetlands permit to lay a 12" pipeline from East Marion to the Browns Hills Road". In passing, it should be noted their request for a pipeline at no time indicates the direction of flow of the water! If this is truly a pipeline to bring water to Browns Hills, then it is imperative that there be a restriction that the water may flow only in an easterly direction. Further, as has been previously discussed, it is illegal for your board to hear a segmented request and to grant a segmented approval! Walter J.

Serious engineering studies need to be conducted to see what pressure the pipeline will be under as it crosses the causeway -under and through wetlands. The question is not: VVill there be a hurricane? But: when will there be a hurricane? The risks of a break in the water main need to be assessed more thoroughly because the damage one would cause would be enormous. Even without storms, SCWA deals with 200+ frozen and broken pipes in their system every winter. Think: fresh water from the pipe pouring into Dam Pond, the bird conservation area, out into Orient Harbor and the fishing, scallop and oyster nurseries, etc. could be devastating. C. CAUSE SALT WATER INTRUSION INTO THE FRESH WATER RESOURCES OF THE TOWN. E. INCREASE THE DANGER OF FLOOD AND STORM-TIDE DAMAGE. The Orient aquifer is a distinct and irreplaceable aquifer, a "bubble" of fresh water surround by salt water held in a very fragile balance. Piping in additional fresh water from the outside (filled with chemicals like 7/30/2010 Page 2 of 3 chlorine) upsets this balance, raises the water table, and accelerates salt water intrusion (since salt water is heavier than fresh) putting the fresh water wells of the 90 to 95% of Orient residents not hooked up to the pipeline at risk. It's an irreversible vicious cycle that threatens the aquifer, and the free clean water supplies of Orient residents -- to the benefit of SCWA and their monopoly ability to charge increasing numbers for water. Think: anyone who has suffered the floods in the Village, our farms or Narrow River Road after a rainstorm understands how crucial it is to protect the water table. I. OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE OFTHE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN. J. ADVERSELY AFFECT THE AESTHETIC VALUE OF THE WETLAND AND ADJACENT AREAS SCWA builds pipelines to last 100 years. I ask the Trustees to think about the consequences of this pipeline over that time period. As you know, SCWA's partial declaration of their full intent, "segmentation", is illegal, and the Trustees should not be a party to it. The pipeline to Browns Hills is just one segment of a much larger intended project: to bring public water to all of Orient, and possibly to pump water out of Orient through the pipeline. This means there will be more digging and installing all the way to Orient Point, throughout the Village, in existing sub-divisions, ultimately down Narrow River Road. The 50 - 100 year consequences of this will, without a doubt, trigger more development in Orient - at denser levels than current zoning permits. That in turn leads to more pollution and sewage, as housing and development are by far the biggest contributor's to poor water quality in areas like ours. Anyone who doubts this and thinks current zoning is sufficient or defensible has not looked at what is happening on the South Fork as public water gains a hold there. There is not a single instance of public water intrusion we can find in Suffolk County that has not led directly to development. Outside developers are already holding large tracts of land in Orient, and at least one is already on the record supporting public water in order to get in. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SCWA IS USING IN ITS APPLICATION: A. APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE TOWN IN THE FORM OF THE WATER SUPPLY MAP AMENDMENT. The Southold Town Board rejected this unanimously. Why the Trustees are even considering this application given they are part of Southold Town is a big question. B. PART 2, Q 20, IS THERE LIKELY TO BE PUBLIC CONTROVERSY RELATED TO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS? SCWA states no, despite the strong and very public opposition from both of the North Fork's leading environmental organizations, hundreds of citizens, as well as leading farmers, and fishermen. This is disingenuous at best. 7/30/2010 Page 3 of 3 C. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DEMAND FOR THIS WATER SUPPLY IN ORIENT. All 24 households in Brown's Hills (the people to be served) are adamantly opposed to the pipeline. Along the Pipeline route, only 17 of 137 household surveyed by SCWA want the pipeline at this time. More broadly, close to 300 Orient residents out of 700+ households have already signed a petition that says "Not at this time" Claims made by SCWA counsel to the Southold Town Board that they have a "80% majority" are disingenuous at best. D. THE PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE THE APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM E. NOR DOES IT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL (CAC) OTHER COMMENTS Beyond the illegal segmentation scheme, and negotiation tactics in bad faith, SCWA has apparently made statements to elected officials (of both parties) at the Federal, State and County and Town level that have apparently led to significant, erroneous understandings about the scope of the project, the nature and urgency of the water quality and health justification for the parties actually being served, and many other matters, at almost every turn. We request that the Trustees consider carefully the intent, transparency, completeness and veracity of written and verbal communications with SCWA, as you uphold your duty to protect our wetlands and our fragile water supply, as well as our hard-earned tax dollars and our faith in a transparent political process.

Box 1179 Southold, N.Y. 11971 Re: Suffolk County Water Authority=s Request for a Wetlands Permit Dear Members of the Southold Town Board of Trustees, You are about to make a decision that will directly affect my life and that of my friends and neighbors in Orient re the above referenced request for a wetlands permit by the SCWA. Your decision also has wider repercussions for Southold Town and for the entire North Fork. It will tell us how our government works. We're about to see. While I am not a tea party participant, I understand and sympathize with the general dissatisfaction for govermnent that many Americans have come to feel. Decisions affecting our lives come at us from organs of government in the forms of mandates from both federal and state governments that increase our local taxes; quasi-public private corporations that really exist for the benefit of their shareholders and well paid employees make decisions which can be costly or upend our lives, among them, LIPA, now National Grid, the M.T.A., and of course SCWA. There are more than a thousand of these authorities, many carrying debt and responsibilities offloaded by the N.Y. State Legislature. I attended the recent meeting at Town Hall held on Wednesday, July 21st and was impressed by the amount of work you accomplished that evening. (I was not at all impressed with your attorney.) So here we are, the tiny hamlet of Orient up against the SCWA and your vote, should you grant SCWA=s request, will contravene .... 1. The Southold Town Board=s request that SCWA follow its usual procedure to get at least 40% of an area=s support before extending its pipeline. By now you should be well aware of the pitiable numbers of positive replies their questionnaire brought them. 2. The numbers of Orient citizens from all walks of life who are against this permit. 3. Real concerns of a substantive nature about placing a pipe under Dam Pond. Pipes are known to leak and break. Rule 275. 12 4. This one really grates me. While SCWA was applying for permits to build its so- called transmission line to Browns Hills, AT THE VERY SAME TIME, it was applying for stimulus money to bring water TO OVER 700 HOUSEHOLDS IN ORIENT. Who=s kidding whom? Are people who live far from Main Rd going to pay over $3,000 in hookup fees, plus the cost of piping the water to their houses at $25 to $30 per foot, plus maintenance etc. when they can go out and buy home systems for far less that deliver water that is better than that which would be piped in by SCWA! In the first place, this is segmentation and it is against the law. I am counting on the hope that common sense has not completely deserted the elected Board of Trustees! How dare SCWA apply to you for one type of permit and apply for federal monies of almost $3,000,000.00 dollars at the same time, an egregious amount considering the number of households that have expressed interest. Maybe they=re not doing very well.

Serious engineering studies need to be conducted to see what pressure the pipeline will be under as it crosses the causeway - under and through wetlands. The question is not: Will there be a hurricane? But: when will there be a hurricane? The risks of a break in the water main need to be assessed more thoroughly because the damage one would cause would be enormous. Even without storms, SCWA deals with 200+ frozen and broken pipes in their system every winter.

It's an irreversible vicious cycle that threatens the aquifer, and the free clean water supplies of Orient residents -- to the benefit of SCWA and their monopoly ability to charge increasing numbers for water.

AD\tERSELY AFFECT THE AESTHETIC VALUE OF THE WETLAND AND ADJACENT AREAS SCWA builds pipelines to last 100 years. I ask the Trustees to think about the consequences of this pipeline over that time period. As you know, SCWA'S partial declaration of their full intent, ,segmentation", is illegal, and the Trustees should not be a party to it. The pipeline to Browns Hills is just one segment of a much larger intended project: to bring public water to all of Orient, and possibly to pump water out of Orient through the pipeline. This means there will be more digging and installing all the way to Orient Point, throughout the Village, in existing sub-divisions, ultimately down Narrow River Road. The 50 - 100 year consequences of this will, without a doubt, trigger more development in Orient - at denser levels than current zoning permits. That in turn leads to more pollution and sewage, as housing and development are by far the biggest contributor's to poor water quality in areas like ours. Anyone who doubts this and thinks current zoning is sufficient or defensible has not looked at what is happening on the South Fork as public water gains a hold there. There is not a single instance of public water intrusion we can find in Suffolk County that has not led directly to development. Outside developers are already holding large tracts of land in Orient, and at least one is already on the record supporting public water in order to get in. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SCWA IS USING IN ITS APPLICATION: A. APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE TOWN IN THE FORM OF THE WATER SUPPLY MAP AMENDMENT. The Southold Town Board rejected this unanimously. Why the Trustees are even considering this application given they are part of Southold Town is a big question. B. PART 2, Q 20, IS THERE LIKELY TO BE pUBLIC CONTROVERSY RELATED TO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS? SCWA states no, despite the strong and very public opposition from both of the North Fork's leading environmental organizations, hundreds of citizens, as well as leading farmers, and fishermen. This is disingenuous at best. C. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DEMAND FOR THIS WATER SUPPLY IN ORIENT. All 24 households in Brown's Hills (the people to be served) are adamantly opposed to the pipeline. Along the pipeline route, only 17 of 137 household surveyed by SCWA want the pipeline at this time. More broadly, close to 300 Orient residents out of 700+ households have already signed a petition that says "Not at this time" Claims made by SCWA counsel to the Southold Town Board that they have a "80% majority" are disingenuous at best. D. THE PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE THE APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM E. NOR DOES IT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL (CAC) OTHER COMMENTS Beyond the illegal segmentation scheme, and negotiation tactics in bad faith, SCWA has apparently made statements to elected officials (of both parties) at the Federal, State and County and Town level that have apparently led to significant, erroneous understandings about the scope of the project, the nature and urgency of the water quality and health justification for the parties actually being served, and many other matters, at almost every turn. We request that the Trustees consider carefully the intent, transparency, completeness and veracity of written and verbal communications with SCWA, as you uphold your duty to protect our wetlands and our fragile water supply, as well as our hard-earned tax dollars and our faith in a transparent political process. 3 Page 1 of 1 Standish, Lauren From: jffied172@aol.com Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 11:35 AM To: Russell, Scott Cc: Standish, Lauren; Jon.

Instead of describing in detail( which you have been made fully aware of) why this is so wrong and against everything we all truly hope for in our community I will simply ask you to please consider your duty to preserve and protect our wetlands and way of life and stop SCVVA from proceeding.

Jill Doherty, President, Southold Town Board of Trustees James King, Vice-President Dave Bergen' Bob Ghosio, Jr. John Bredemeyer July 29, 2010 Dear President Doherty and Trustees, This letter is in reference to the application of the Suffolk County Water Authority for a Wetland Permit for the installation of what they are calling a "transmission main" on Route 25 from East Marion to Brown's Hill Road, Orient. I am writing to request that you reject this application on several grounds. 1. The Board of Trustees should follow the lead of the Southold Town Board, which has rejected a proposed amendment to the town water map allowing SCWA to extend their pipeline into Orient. Most residents of Orient believe that SCWA should wait until the town completes its new Comprehensive Plan before proceeding with this pipeline 2. The Wetland Permit sought by SCWA is for drilling under Dam Pond, just one segment of the total project. The entire project, which would pass through wetlands, a historic district and along a scenic byway, should be subject to a full SEQRA review. 3. Although SCWA refers to this project as a "transmission main" to serve only Brown's Hills and homeowners along the Main Road route to Brown's Hills, the record shows that SCWA wants to use this pipeline as a way to bring public water to all of Orient. Therefore, before they are permitted to drill, according to SCWA's own regulations, they should survey all residents and proceed only if at least 40% of us agree to hook up. Because my house is less than 500 feet from Main Road, I did receive the flawed survey SCWA sent out to homeowners along the proposed pipeline route. The survey did not even go to everyone on or near Main Road and was deceptively worded to suggest that those who do not want public water need not reply. Only a handful of homeowners answering this survey indicated that they want public water now. Unfortunately, I was too tired, too hungry and too wary of driving home in the dark on a stormy night to stay for the SCWA segment of last Wednesday's trustees meeting. The two hours I spent there made me appreciate the difficult challenges the trustees fac~ in trying to balance the demands of applicants with the need to protect our fragile shores, bays and wetlands. This application,at this time, however, should be easy: it must be rejected. cc: Representative Tim Bishop Supervisor Scott Russell Sincerely yours, Anne Hopkins Page I of 1 From: Anne MacKay[amackayl@optonline.net] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 7:35 AM To: Standish, Lauren Cc: info@orientwater.info Subject: SCWA Please help us and support Orient and the Town Board, which refused to extend the water map to Orient!

Standish@tow~.southold.ny.us Subject: Orient Water Pipeline Dear Trustees of the Town of Southold, I am writing you as an Orient resident and concerned citizen about SCWA's attempt to obtain a permit from the Trustees to drill under Dam Pond. Besides for the fact that the vast majority of residents do not want SCWA's water main, we are also concerned about the environmental impact of digging in such a sensitive area as the Dam Pond and Causeway area. Runoff from construction will impact our vital wetlands and threaten the scallop seeding project that is under way in Orient Harbor. Please use the powers that you received when we, the citizenry, elected you to say NO to SCWA. Their permit application is incomplete and fails to unveil the full nature of the project. Again, please reject their application. Thank you. Sincerely, Tom Stevenson Oysterponds Farm Orient, NY 15435 Main Road East Marion, NY 11939 Jill Doherty, President Jim King, Vice President Dave Bergen Bob Gosio, Jr John Bredemeyer Southold Town Trustees Dear Trustees, As an area resident I am astonished that the SCWA plan to proceed with the extension of the water main to Orient, despite the clear opposition of the majority of residents of Orient and the Southold Town Board. Even more astonishing to me is the duplicity of SCWA who, according to "The Suffolk Times," told Congressman Tim Bishop that they would not proceed with the project and then applied for a wetlands permit. As a physician who deals with kidney patients on home dialysis who require water that is free of contamination, I know that such water can be obtained with the use of reverse osmosis systems, which are reliable, and not that expense to install or maintain. If indeed, this water main is only to supply 24 residents in Browns Hill why is the SCWA so concerned since these homes apparently already have existing water treatments? It is hard not to believe the speculations that SCWA's agenda is eventually to supply all of Orient and therefore make money in the process. I urge the Town Trustees to help preserve this unique area of New York State and not risk the potential environmental damage and increase in population density that may result if SCWA is permitted to go ahead.

I surely know that my well provides abundant, safe, good-tasting water. It is tested regularly by both the County Health Department and a private water analysis firm, and it passes with flying colors. And I surely know that this water is better for my health than any piped in from elsewhere laden with chlorine. It has been reported that the SCWA has not presented its facts transparently. Why should I trust an outfit which does not have my interests in mind, but rather its own profits? ! am incensed that SCWA planned to use federal monies meant to bolster the nation's economy. This plan is not necessary, not wanted, not sound environmentally. The government must use these scarce funds elsewhere where they are needed, wanted and sound, not on a frivolous project like this. Locally, how about using these funds to build a higher seawall on the south side of the Orient causeway? With polar ice melting, our normal high tides have become frighteningly threatening, even more so at full and new moon. Do Orienters really want to become an island with no egress in a major storm, for which we are overdue? Every argument against the wisdom of the SCWA project has already been eloquently made by a huge majority of residents directly concerned. The people have spoken. As with elections, the government must listen. As you trustees in charge of our beautiful peninsula's future welfare, I beg you not to sanction the permit to cross Dam Pond.

Because my house is less than 500 feet from Main Road, I did receive the flawed survey SCWA sent out to homeowners along the proposed pipeline route. The survey did not even go to everyone on or near Main Road and was deceptively worded to suggest that those who do not want public water need not reply. Only a handful of homeowners answering this survey indicated that they want public water now. Unfortunately, I was too tired, too hungry and too wary of driving home in the dark on a stormy night to stay for the SCWA segment of last Wednesday's trustees meeting. The two hours I spent there made me appreciate the difficult challenges the trustees face in trying to balance the demands of applicants with the need to protect our fragile shores, bays and wetlands. This application,at this time, however, should be easy: it must be rejected. Sincerely yours, Anne Hopkins 380 Platt Rd/P.O.

Anne Hopkins July 31,2010 Jill Doherty, President, Southold Town Board of Trustees James King, Vice President Dave Bergen Bob Ghosio, Jr. John Bredemeyer Dear President Doherty and Trustees, I am writing to urge you to reject the application of the Suffolk Country Water Authority for a wetlands permit to dig under Dam Pond in order to bring a pipeline to Orient. Although SCWA calls this a "transmission main" to bring water to Brown's Hill, they have also said that they hope to bring public water to all of Orient. Under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) this is an incomplete application and should not be considered separately. After crossing Dam Pond the pipeline would go through other fragile wetlands, a historic district and a scenic byway and should be subject to a full Type 1 SEQRA review. The Town Board refused SCWA's request to extend the water map to include Orient, and has asked SCWA not to attempt to extend its pipeline to Orient until Southold Town's Comprehensive Plan is complete. The Town Board also supports SCWA's own policy that no application to bring water to Orient should be considered until an independent survey demonstrates that at least 40% of Orient residents want to hook up. The Board of Trustees should not go against the Town Board in these positions. Most of us in Orient believe that our own wells, properly maintained and filtered if necessary, provide better quality water at less expense than SCWA.

Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 Ladies and Gentlemen: !Re: Water Main To Orient I am writing to ask for your support for the extension of the water main to Orient by the Suffolk County Water Authority. I live in a house on the Main Road and I very much want to connect to this water main as soon as it becomes available. At the moment my water system needs major repairs and I decided to wait to install public water rather than to make another major investment in my own water system. With your support, I trust that the new water main will be in operation by later this fall. On April 6, 2010, I wrote a 3-page letter to the Southold Town Board sharing my experiences maintaining a private water system at my house in Orient over the last fifty years. In my letter I expressed my deep concern for the many problems the residents of Orient will encounter in the future if they must continue to depend entirely on private wells to obtain their domestic water. Also in my letter of April 6, I noted that having access to a 12-inch water main could provide Orient with much improved fire protection, both in supplying water for fire hydrants for use by the Orient Fire Department and in providing a reliable source of water under pressure to allow fire sprinklers to be installed in the larger buildings including my house. I understand that my letter of April 6 is now a matter of public record in the files of the Town of Southold and I refer you to it for a more detailed account. As all but the most naive among us must now be aware, this campaign by the members of the Orient Association to block the extension of the SCWA water main into Orient has little or nothing to do with supplying potable water to the residents of Orient and almost everything to do with seizing political power from the elected government at the Town, County and State levels. The basic premise of their campaign is that the Southold Town Board cannot be trusted to maintain the appropriate zoning in the hamlet of Orient. They argue that the availability of public water anywhere in Orient will provide the Southold Town Board with an opportunity to downzone large tracts of land in Orient for high-density residential development thus affording an opportunity for (more) bad people to move to Orient and thereby destroy the tranquility which they found so attractive when they moved to Orient. The Orient Association masquerades as the Group for the East End and as Orient Water in an attempt to circumvent the restrictions placed by the IRS on their activities in consideration of their tax-exempt status as a charitable organization. I am not aware that they have ever committed an act of charity. Nor do I see any evidence in this campaign that they are acting for July 30, 2010 - 1 - William W. Schriever William W.

They seem quite determined to sacrifice the rights and the fortunes of any resident of Orient to achieve their political objectives. The members of the Orient Association derive their political power solely from their ability to intimidate and to manipulate the local politicians into carrying out their political objectives. Because they have been so well organized and adequately financed, they have become a formidable political force within the tiny hamlet of Orient. Apparently they even dream of incorporating a Village of Orient so they can achieve real political power of their own patterned after the Taliban in Afghanistan. It seems incredible to me that the local politicians have been so willing to support the members of the Orient Association in achieving their objectives when those same members treat the local politicians with such apparent contempt. For example, they refer to the Suffolk County Water Authority as if it were a private, for-profit enterprise when, in fact, it is a publicly-owned, nonprofit authority created for the benefit of all of the residents of Suffolk County. In opposing this application, the members of the Orient Association are simply trying to use the Southold Town Trustees to achieve their objective of gaining political control of the hamlet of Orient.

I share the concern of many Orient residents that, should the SCWA be granted permission to run the pipeline, they will begin pumping water from Orient's aquifer west to other communities. Ultimately this will threaten the aquifer, and the free clean water supplies of orient residents - to the benefit of SCWA which has made it plain that they are "in the business of selling water".

Thank you, Michael D. Delano To Southold Town Board of Trustees Jill Doherty, President James King, Vice-President Dave Bergen Bob Ghosio Jr. John Bredemeyer July 30. 201-0 I am a physicist with some fairly extensive Post Doctoral Fellowship training in astrophysics and physiological physics. And I am terribly concerned about the physical safety of Orient residents should the water-main-extension that the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) has so aggressively pushed for becomes a reality. For 191r2 years my wife and I have owned a house and a 2.5-acre plot of land whose southern boundary extends across Route 25 to Orient Harbor. We have right of way to Dam Pond and Trumans Beach where I have easily walked our Golden Retrievers 2,000 times and am thoroughly familiar with that ecosystem, to say the least. Without going into the politics and the potential danger to Dam Pond's stunning environment I have done some map measurements and calculations and come to some alarming conclusions I'm sure SCWA has never bothered to consider: 1) Dam Pond has a water surface area of 100 acres, a mean depth of 4 feet and contains about 130 million gallons of salt water. 2) Because of the tides in Orient Harbor about 1.5 billion gallons of salt water flow in and out of Dam Pond in the course of a year, all of it through that narrow channel over which the Route 25 bridge passes and under which the proposed water main would tunnel. 3) While very rare, I have seen, on two separate occasions, harbor water barreling through that narrow channel at speeds approaching ! 5 mph during severe storms. A one-foot section of the proposed 12-inch-diameter pipeline exposed to such violent flows would experience a force approaching 15,000 ponds and the very real possibility of rupture and extensive leakage of fresh water exists. 4) The interior salinity of marine organisms and plant cells is the same as their exterior salinity. With zero salinity, if pure water due to pipe rupture surrounds the indigenous living cells in Dam Pond they will swell and burst and die because of absorption of salt-fi'ee-water by osmosis. 5) Dam Pond has an extensive system of sandy mud flats that are stabilized by an equally extensive root system of marsh-like grasses. If salt-free-water-osmosis kills these root systems, the mud flats will eventually be disrupted by tides and the only barrer separating Orient Harbor from the Long Island Sound is Trumans Beach which is less than 75 yards wide. 6) In the 19~/2 years we have been on the East End of the North Fork I have observed a not insignificant erosion of the north shore of Trnmans Beach into the LI Sound, especially near the western end of Dam Pond. If SCWA's tunnel-excavation 8/2/2010 Page 2 of 2 on Route 25 destabilizes Dam Pond's mud flats, it's hard to believe, but the only thing separating Orient from the "Long Island Main Land" would be skinny Trumans Beach! Could SCWA's pipeline project turn Orient into an Island like Plum Island? I urge, in the strongest possible terms, that SCWA's wetlands permit application be denied and insist that a thorough, independent, environmental impact study on the Dam Pond region be carried ont. Nothing less than the safety of Orient residents and some East Marion residents are at stake if the concerns I have outlined above turn out to be correct. Sincerely, Michael D.

Box 1179 Sonthold, NY 11971-0939 Re: Application of Suffolk County Water Authority - Wetland Permit Dear Trustees: We are the attorneys for Fredrica Wachsberger, Venetia Hands, Marianne Liberatore, Amal Chaudhuri and Betty Roe, who are either residents of the Browns Hill Road section of the Town of Southold, or reside in the other portions of the Orient community. This letter is submitted in opposition to the Application by the Suffolk County Water Authority ("SCWA") for a Wetland Permit to permit the installation of a water transmission main in the road bed along Ronte 25 from East Marion to Browns Hill Road, Orient ("Application"). As explained below, the Application fails to meet the requirements of Southold Town Code ("Town Code") Art. 275 and should be denied. Town Code §275-6(11) requires that any permit application contain "documentary proof of permits that have been applied for, are pending, and have been granted, including but not limited to NYSDEC, Suffolk County Health Department, USACOE". Pursuant to a resolution approved by the Town Board in 2000, SCWA is required to obtain the approval of the Town Board to amend the Water Supply Map in order to proceed with the water transmission main. The Application does not reference that the SCWA has applied for and obtained this approval. In fact, the Town Board has specifically refused to amend the Water Supply Map to permit the proposed water transmission main. Accordingly, SCWA's permit Application is insufficient because it does not reference the application for the amendment to the Water Supply Map as required by §275-6(11), nor does it reference the SCWA's failure to obtain the required amendment. East Tower, 15th Floor, 1425 RXR Plaza, Uniondale, NY 11556-1426 · 516.663.6600 v 212.688.8300 v F 516.663.6601 * www.rmfpc.com RUSKINMOSCOUFALTISCHEKI~c. August 2, 2010 Page 2 Further, Town Code §275-6(2) requires that any application for a Wetland Permit contain a "schedule for the proposed activities with a completion date". The Application does not contain this required information. And, although SCWA's counsel stated at the public hearing that the project would start after Labor Day and be completed by October 31, 2010, this statement is not sufficient to correct the failure to include this information on the Application. Pursuant to the Town Code §275-6(A), the Application is required to be in writing, and verified. Accordingly, the schedule for the work must be set forth in writing and verified. The Application should have had all required information prior to the public hearing so that interested persons would have the opportunity to comment, including commenting on the proposed work schedule. Although §275-6(B) permits the Town Trustees to waive certain requirements concerning the Application, the requirements of §275-6(2) is not one which the Trustees are empowered to waive. Simply put, the Town Code specifically requires that there be a schedule for the proposed activities with a completion date included in the application, which must be in writing and verified. SCWA's Application does not meet this requirement, and as a result, the Application is deficient and the Town Trustees are not empowered to forgive this deficiency. In addition, SCWA's application does not meet the requirements of §275-6(6) in that it does not specify the depth of the excavation throughout the project area, only providing this information with regard to a limited portion of the project. Also, §275-6(7) is not complied with in that there is no description in the Application as to where materials being excavated will be stored during the duration of the project. Accordingly, since the Application fails to comply with the statutory requirements of §275-6, it is legally deficient and should be rejected. Further, even if the Application met the requirements of §275-6, Town Code §275-12(I) requires the Trustees to reject an application if the proposed project would "otherwise adversely effect the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the Town". As indicated above, the Town Board has specifically rejected the SCWA's request to amend the Water Supply Map. To grant a Wetland Permit without this approval is not only contrary to the Town Code, but flies in the face of the express procedural framework adopted by the Town Board. Further, the population to be served by this water transmission main is overwhelmingly opposed to this [~US KI NMoscOUFALT1SCHEK m August 2, 2010 Page 3 project. If the project goes forward there is a risk of overdevelopment in the Orient area, and the residents have expressed a desire to implement other alternatives to obtain their water supply. Finally, Town Code §268-5 requires review of the Application for consistency with the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. As of the date of the public hearing, no such review had taken place. The SCWA has specifically stated that the Trustees' approval of this Wetland Permit will indicate that the Trustees are in favor of the project in general, and will reflect community support for the project. However, now matter how the Trustees feel about the project, the Town Code contains specific requirements for a Wetland Permit application. The Application is clearly deficient. Further, the project will adversely affect the Town and should be rejected. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours, E. Christopher Murray ECM:emr cc: Timothy Hopkins, Esq.

The Causeway from the bridge at Dam Pond into Orient is already highly susceptible to flood and storm-tide damage. The wall has been breached. The Army Corps of Engineers is trying to fix it. Serious engineering studies need to be conducted to see what pressure the pipeline will be under as it cresses the causeway -under and through wetlands. The question is not: Will there be a hurricane? But: when will there be a hurricane? The risks of a break in the water main need to be assessed more thoroughly because the damage one would cause would be enormous. Even without storms, SCWA deals with 200+ frozen and broken pipes in their system every winter. Think: fresh water from the pipe pouring into Dam Pond, the bird conservation area, out into Orient Harbor and the fishing, scallop and oyster nurseries, etc. could be devastating. The Orient aquifer is a distinct and irreplaceable aquifer, a "bubble" of fresh water surround by salt water held in a very fragile balance. Piping in additional fresh water from the outside (filled with chemicals like chlorine) upsets this balance, raises the water table, and accelerates salt water intrusion (since salt water is heavier than fresh) putting the fresh water wells of the 90 to 95% of Orient residents not hooked up to the pipeline at risk. It's an irreversible vicious cycle that threatens the aquifer, and the free clean water supplies of Odent residents - to the benefit of SCWA and their monopoly ability to charge increasing numbers for water. SCWA builds pipelines to last 100 years. I ask the Trustees to think about the consequences of this pipeline over that time pedod. As you know, SCWA's partial declaration of their full intent, "segmentation", is illegal, and the Trustees should not be a party to it. The pipeline to Browns Hills is just one segment of a much larger intended project: to bring public water to all of Orient, and possibly to pump water out of Orient through the pipeline. This means there will be more digging and installing all the way to Orient Point, throughout the Village, in existing sub-divisions, ultimately down Narrow River Road. The Southold Town Board rejected this unanimously. Why the Trustees are even considering this application given they are part of Southold Town is a big question. I request that the Trustees consider carefully the intent, transparency, completeness and veracity of wdtten and verbal communications with SCWA, as you uphold your duty to protect our wetlands and our fragile water supply, as well as our hard-earned tax dollars and our faith in a transparent political process.

Aside from the potential damage that could result from the drilling, should anything happen to that pipe in the future, fresh water could inundate Dam Pond and ruin the delicate balance of salinity necessary to maintain wildlife there. Repair efforts could further disturb this area that has been so carefully protected in the past. I am sure that you are aware that hundreds of Orient residents are opposed to this water pipe in the first place. The pipeline is completely unnecessary. The Orient aquifer more than provides for the needs of the residents of our small community. SCWA is railroading the project to pursue their own interests, not the least of which is potential access to the Orient aquifer itself for distribution westward. There is also strong public opposition from both of the North Forks leading environmental organizations, as well as leading farmers and fishermen. As stewards of the marine wetlands in our area I also ask you to defend against the inevitable future encroachment on Orients natural resources by the increased development density that this water pipe will invite. At the moment our Town Trustees seem to be the last line of defense against this intrusion into the health and welfare of Orient home owners of by a private company. Please reject this application. Nobody in Orient needs SCWA's water, but we do need what we've got.

We hope you are aware of the adverse effects on wetlands, marine life, aquatic life and natural vegetation; the causeway, vulnerable to flood & storm damage; the danger to Dam Pond & Orient Harbor from a break in a main line going under and through the wetlands. From an engineering standpoint, no study has been done with regard to the pressure such a pipeline will withstand; already on record, there are 200+ incidents of broken/frozen pipelines every winter; the intrusion of saltwater and the risk to Orient wells. It is clear that the Orient aquifer is fragile and should be protected. It is clear, too, that more than 90% of Orienters are opposed to a pipeline, including those who reside in Browns Hills. So, who will benefit from this proposed project? AS a public benefit company, SCWA should serve the interests of the entire community, not just a handful (17) whose needs may have other, less-expensive solutions. We urge you to carefully consider any underlying intent, and to thoroughly investigate the potential problems of a pipeline that SCWA is so eager to run. Thank you for your attention, Linda & Eugene B. Feigelson, MD Orient To the Southold Town Board of Trustees: Re: SCWA Pipeline Application It is my understanding that the Town Trustees are to concern themselves with the quality and general condition of the wetlands within the Town's borders. The application you are reviewing from SCWA for a pipeline across Dam Pond and the two miles beyond affects far more than the bit of wetlands it traverses. Observing your recent meeting, the pattern established seemed to be "if the application extends beyond the Trustees jurisdiction" it is approved. What??? How can an agency approve an application for which it has no jurisdiction? How about: "The application is hereby referred to the" appropriate jurisdiction. Or simply "dismissed"??? At some point in the future, perhaps at your next scheduled meeting, you may schedule a vote on this application. It should only occur if: There is abundant advance notice of the vote, date, time and location, to the public and to each and everyone of those persons who has corresponded to you on the subject, and That the vote be a roll call vote, publicly and audibly conducted. Please remember, you are in a position to totally and irreversibly affect the lives and property of the entire community/hamlet of Orient. Orient is just a few pebbles shy of being an island. The fewer links to the "main land" the healthier everything: wetlands; water sources; vegetation; and the people, will be. You've seen the following elsewhere, but I repeat it here: "The Orient aquifer is a distinct and irreplaceable aquifer.., a "bubble" of fresh water surrounded by salt water held in a very fragile balance. Piping in additional fresh water from the outside (filled with chemicals like chlorine) upsets this balance, raises the water table, and accelerates pollution of the aquifer with disinfectant by-products like trihalomethanes (Group B Carcinogens) putting the fresh water wells of the 90 to 95% of Orient residents not hooked up to the pipeline at risk. It's an irreversible vicious cycle that threatens the aquifer, and the free clean water supplies of Orient residents.., to the benefit of SCWA and their monopoly ability to charge more of us for water." Thank you for your service to the Town of Southold. Please continue to conduct that service with integrity and intelligence. Sincerely, Elizabeth R. Rowe 1850 Youngs Road Orient, New York 11957 J.A.

Extending the pipe line at a cost of several million dollars, (much of it taxpayers dollars), is questionable at best. The pipeline, to serve fewer than 24 residents so that some of them will no longer need filters, is difficult to justify. I can't help but conclude that SCWR had another motive. From what rve heard the rest of us in Orient don't need such a pipeline. Certainly, the money, supplied by the Federal Government, could be put to better use in the Town of Southold.

Eastern Daylight Time Subj: Letter to Southold Town Board of Trustees Dear Lauren Standish; Attached is a letter to the Southold Town Trustees in regard to their pending vote on granting a permit to the Suffolk County Water Authority to extend their water main along the Main Road into Orient. I am in full support of the Board Of Trustees in granting this permit. I Would like to add a few comments and reasons for my support for this project. If you do not receive many letters from the homeowners that this project affects the most, it's not because they don't want public water, it's simply because they have been intimidated by the Orient Association, their phantom website, and large amounts of money funneled to this group through the "Group For The East End ". There are many people that have business connections or in some way connected to local government feel that they would be put in a compromised position if they voiced their opinion in favor of having public water come to their community. Some even feel reprisal if they did so. In my particular case I have had gaso ne, very high nitrate levels along with several hundred other contaminates, pesticides, and trace amounts of countless other elements,and bacteria. The Suffolk County Water Authority has warned that no one should be drinking this water, especially pregnant women, people on dialysis, people undergoing chemotherapy, people with compromised immune systems, and small children. Obtaining public water has always' been a health issue and not an issue of development. The Oysterponds elementary school pays $ 5,000 dollars per year to have their water tested, and the company that tests it does not test for gasoline in the water. If they had public water, it would be tested for free. With public water the school would be able to install a fire preventing water sprinkler system because of the increased water pressure. A system such as that would bring added protection not only for the students and staff, but for the building itself. The school's insurance rate would be greatly reduced. I was told by the Orient fire department ( who are in favor of public water ) that a fire hydrant would be placed on the road in front of the school. With public water I too would be able to install a sprinkler system in my home and reduce my homeowners insurance by ten to twenty percent. In closing I beg the board to approve the permit to the water authority.

For the record, Group for the East End is a professionally staffed 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, environmental organization representing the conservation and community planning interests of several thousand individuals, families and businesses across the five towns of eastern Long Island. We represent approximately 280 members who reside in Southold Town. I. Author's Credentials: For the record, I hold a Bachelors Degree in Environmental Science from Fordham University, and a Master's Degree in Environmental Science from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and have served as the President and Executive Director of Group for the East End for the last 18 years. Prior to my current position, I served as a Biologist and Senior Environmental Analyst for the Suffolk County Health Department's Office of Ecology for seven years. At the Office of Ecology, I was directly responsible for the environmental impact assessment of hundreds of complex development proposals pursuant to the requirements of State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and served as the Suffolk County Health Department's SEQRA liaison to the Suffolk County Council on Environmental Quality. In addition to these professional responsibilities, I have taught State and Local Environmental Policy with specific emphasis on the rules and regulations governing the implementation of SEQRA for 15 years, as and adjunct professor at Long Island University. We protect and restore the environment of eastern Long island through education, citizen action and public advocacy. founded in 1972 www.groupfortheeastend.org GP,! UP FOR T T END II. Summary Statement: A review of the available materials pertaining to the subject action demonstrate the need for a significantly expanded level of environmental review for the overall 17,200 foot expansion of the SCWA's water supply system into the hamlet of Orient. In the absence of such a review, we do not believe the Town Trustees can make a defensible decision, which achieves the stated goals of Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code (Wetlands and Shorelines), nor the environmental review mandates of SEQRA. As a result, we oppose the issuance of wetlands permit based on currently available information. In addition to the overall magnitude of this action, and the incomplete and inaccurate information contained in environmental review materials, the project's permanence; potential short and long- term consequences for the area's wetlands and wider environment; conflict with the duly adopted rejection project rejection by the Southold Town Board; and overwhelming public opposition, it would seem highly imprudent to issue an approval. IlL Primary Issues of Concern: With respect to the requirements of Chapter 325, we believe additional data is required to properly assess any potential effects that could be created by the introduction of millions of gallons of freshwater into the shallow Orient Flow System. The potential impact on flooding conditions and wetlands ecology over time should be examined. In particular we are very concerned that the issue of long-term groundwater mounding be fully examined with respect to water table elevations, increased flooding potential, and any potential for decreased salinity along the tidal creeks and Mashes of East Marion and Orient. We also believe that the Trustees should examine the potential impacts on water service and the environment in the event of a storm-induced breach in the Orient Causeway that may directly impact the transmission line into Orient. As a result of these issues and other potential community planning impacts, we strongly recommend that the Town Trustees require the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for this proposal pursuant to SEQRA. A DEIS would provide a meaningful and comparative assessment of potential wetlands issues, water supply alternatives and a range of community planning issues, such as growth inducement that could result from the installation of such a significant expanse of infrastructure. A detailed and objective evaluation of such impacts is particularly important given the unanimous resolution of the Southold Town Board, which rejected an expansion of public water into Orient, In addition, the scale and magnitude of the overall action relative to other infrastructure improvements in the Town, the irreversible nature of potential impacts associated with a permanent pipeline installation, the long term consequences of adding millions of gallons if freshwater to the present shallow water table in Orient, and the unprecedented level of public opposition are all best addressed through the DEIS process. 2 GP4 UP FOR T~ [~A~T END Given the importance of a full SEQRA evaluation to the overall assessment of this proposal, we take strong exception to the publicly stated position of counsel to the Trustees (Lori M. Hulse) who wrongly advised both the Town Trustees and members of the public (at the public hearing of July 21, 2009), that the SEQRA process for this application was completed and affmned by the Courts. Ms. Hulse's vigorous defense of this position severely restricted valuable public comment at the hearing for this action, and greatly undermined the value of public participation that should be welcomed during any public heating process. We wish to point out, that the position articulated by Ms. Hulse regarding SEQRA compliance appears to be in direct conflict with the position taken by Assistant Town Attorney, Jennifer Andeloro (as well as the Suffolk Count Supreme Court) in her statements before the court in the underlying matter of Ryall, et. al. v. SCWA, which was argued in open court on April 28, 2010. I was in the courtroom for the oral arguments on this case and have subsequently reviewed the record of the proceedings, which affirm that the assertions made by Ms. Hulse, are simply not supported by the facts. Prior to making any final decision on this application, we strongly urge the Trustees to carefully review the record of the oral argument in the Ryall case (Exhibit A) and reconcile the statements of Attorney Hulse with the stated position of the Town of Southold and the Suffolk County Supreme Court's own findings regarding the future application of SEQRA to the assessment of the overall action by the Town. After a review of the proceedings, we believe the Town Trustees should make an immediate effort to re-notice and re-hear the subject application, correct the record with respect to SEQRA review and allow further public input on the matter of comprebeusive environmental review. The following information is provided to further substantiate our position. IV. Chapter 275 - Wetlands - Permit Standards In addition to the array of issues that require consideration under SEQRA, there are several substantive considerations under the Town Wetlands law that should be further examined and addressed prior to any further action on this proposal. In particular, Chapter 275-12 (Standards for the issuance of a permit) provide for the issuance of permit only when the Trustees can determine that a proposed action will not substantially; "adversely affect wetlands", "increase the danger of flood and storm-tide damage", and adversely affect the "natural movement or flow of any water" and "adversely affect fish, shellfish, or other beneficial marine organisms, aquatic wildlife, and vegetation or the natural habitat thereof". 3 In evaluating these criteria, we strongly recommend that the Trustees carefully consider the potential impact of groundwater mounding associated with the long-term introduction of otherwise absent flow of freshwater into the isolated Orient flow system. This evaluation must include the potential for complete service to the hamlet as this is the likely long-term outcome of this major water transmission main installation. The basis for this request lies in the concern that the long-term consequences of increased freshwater from a major public water main may elevate groundwater levels over time. Such conditions can be observed in and around leaching rings and drainage systems where increased flow produces locally elevated groundwater levels and may exacerbate flooding. The Trustees may well recall the length of time it took for water to infiltrate back down into the ground after this spring's heavy rains. In fact, water levels were so high in some spots that local roadways were flooded for weeks afler the heaviest rains. If such conditions already exist, the long-term introduction of millions of gallons of "new" water should be carefully examined in the context of present groundwater levels. Using rough numbers, the average annual water service to 700 Orient properties (as a daily rate of 250 gallons/day) would deliver approximately 65 million gallons/year to the hamlet where there is virtually no opportunity for deep flow recharge. The consequences over time should be considered. In addition to the potential for increased flooding, the Trustees should explore whether or not the long-term introduction of millions of gallons of freshwater into Orient's shallow water table could impact the relative levels of salinity in and around the hamlets valued tidal marshes. As the Trustees are likely aware, an increasing body of scientific evidence now suggests that certain invasive species such as Phragmites (which degrade the diversity of coastal wetlands) appear to have more competitive success in areas of lowered salinity. In considering the approval of an application, the Board would be well advised to contemplate the unforeseen consequences of this infrastructure on the natural resources it is clearly commissioned to protect. V. Compliance with SEQRA: In a letter dated 4/22/10 (Exhibit B), Town Attorney, Martin Finnegan advised the SCWA that a related 2009 administrative permit issued by the Town Trustees (Exhibit C) for approximately 600 feet of directional drilling under Dam Pond did not reflect the full scope of the Authority's 17,200 foot water line installation, nor did it reflect the full extent of the Trustee's regulatory jurisdiction over the entire project. In his letter, Mr. Fiunegan pointed out that the segmented review of a larger action into smaller parts was contrary to the mandates of New York State Conservation Law and called upon SCWA to amend its application to reflect the overall action that was actually under consideration. 4 On June 25, 2010, the Southold Town Trustees received a "Town of Southold, Board of Trustees Application" for a "Wetlands Permit" from the SCWA (Exhibit Il) along with other design and permit-related information. The application submitted was for a full project review (not an administrative permit or an amendment to a prior administrative permit). The application did not contain a full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) prepared by the SCWA but rather included a copy of an unsigned EAF that was originally part of the Town Board's water map amendment file. Most importantly, the SCWA's accompanying cover letter (Exhibit E) asserted that since both the SCWA and the Town Trustees (in a prior administrative permit for directional drilling under Dam Pond) had previously decided that the proposal was a Type II action, there would be no need for further environmental review. The letter failed to point out the fact that the administrative permit issued by the Trustees did not evaluate 95% or approximately 16,000 liner feet of the overall project, the fact that the Town Board had voted unanimously to reject the project, and the fact that that Town Attorney clearly advised the SCWA (in his letter of 4/22/10) that the Trustees had not reviewed the entire pipeline proposal in issuing their prior permit. The SCWA cover letter also failed to mention the ruling of Suffolk Supreme Court Justice Ralph Costello, whose April 28, 2010 decision (in the related Ryall case) made specific findings with respect to the authority of Southold Town and the SEQRA review of this case. In short, the Judge Costello's decision simply accepted SCWA's independent, uncoordinated, Type II SEQRA designation for the overall project, but made it clear that the Town might well move on its own to further evaluate the project, given the Court's realization that the Trustee's had not yet reviewed the overall project and the Town's possible desire not to expand its water map. In making its case to support an expanded opportunity for SEQRA review before the judge, Assistant Town Attorney Andaloro told the Court that: "The Town Board of Trustees has discovered additional portions of this transmission line fall within its jurisdictiot~ We have requested that the Suffolk County Water Authority come back before them to review the additional portions that are within theirjurisdiction, and if they do not, the Trustees reserve the right to revote the administrative permit that was issued." "Other than that, the town has not taken a position with respect to SEQRA review by the Water Authority. They did an uncoordinated review, and should our Board of Trustees determine that what the portions of the pipeline, in addition to Dam Pond as to what they already reviewed, they may decide to do SEQR~, but they don't have that before them at this time". [See Exhibit A, Page 28, Lines 5-20] More importantly, in Judge Costello's final decision, he stated: 5 G "Now, ~f the town - and it appears that the Town is taking another look at this, whether it is a first look or second look or expanded look, they have authority also in this area. The issues that are being raised by residents or the Town Board or the Town Trustees are not before this Court. They may be at a future point in time. It may very well be that the town might decide that they are not going to change their water distribution map, and they are not going to allow certain actions necessary to extend this line without another look ..... and possibly change the project to require further studies but that is not before me at this time." (See Exhibit A, Page 34, Lines 5-20) In sum, the Town's position before the Court (arguing in support of the Trustee's ability to further review the proposal pursuant to SEQRA) and the Court's decision (indicating that the Town still had the authority to take a second look and possibly change, question or deny the project) are in direct conflict with the public position taken by the SCWA that the Type II designation for any and all aspects offthis project are forever set in stone. The findings of the Court also severely contradict the stated position of Assistant Town Attorney Hulst at the recent public hearing on this matter. The Board of Trustee's needs to recall that Ms. Huist is on the record arguing that the Court decided all aspects of that SEQRA compliance for the application. She subsequently used this argument as the basis for her stiff direction to the Trustees that they should impose of a severe limit on the amount of public testimony that would be taken regarding environmental review. In our view, it is critical that the Trustees reconsider the SEQRA guidance offered by SCWA and publicly endorsed by Ms. Hulst, in light of the actual testimony of Deputy Town Attorney Andeloro before Judge Costello and Judge Costello's own findings on the matter. Given that this project represents one of the largest infrastructure proposals ever contemplated by the Town Trustees, the necessity of a complete environmental review is paramount to the goals of public disclosure, the legal mandates of SEQRA, and to the Trustee's own ability to make the most informed, responsible and defensible position for people of Southold Town. In our view, the subject 17,200- liner foot water main proposal presently before the Trustees (as presented in wetlands application of 6/25/10) should be defined as a new and separate action, with its own permit application. As such, the SEQRA process should begin anew. The prior administrative permit clearly dealt only with a minor segment of the overall action (that was more than some 16,000 feet smaller than the overall area of interest). Moreover, all prior SEQRA consideration by the Town Trustees and SCWA was given without the benefit of a coordinated review process, which entitles each agency to make its own 6 subsequent SEQRA determination (a fact that is articulated by rules governing SEQRA and embodied in the findings of Judge Costello in the Ryall case). In the end analysis, it would seem highly imprudent to justify the review of some 16,000 additional linear feet of water main extension (that could according to the SCWA eventually serve up to 700 properties), which will create a material policy conflict with the duly-adopted water supply policy of the Southold Town Board, as a mere amendment to an administrative permit for a 600 feet of directional drilling beneath Dam Pond. Clearly there is far more going on here than a routine directional drilling, and it falls to the Town Trustees to recognize and examine the short- and long-term implications of this proposed pipeline installation from both a wetlands and a community planning standpoint. VI. Requiring a I)EIS In light of SEQRA's mandate for strict procedural compliance, it is imperative that the Town Trustees recall the very low threshold that is required for a DEIS. In fact, according to the implementing regulations: "To require an EIS for proposed action, the lead agency must determine that the action MA Y include THE POTENTIAL for AT LEAST ONE significant adverse environmental impact" (emphasis added) INYCRR: 617.7(a)(1)I As a result, the Town Trustees need only identify one potentially significant impact to require the preparation ofa DEIS and in this case there are many. In addition, SEQRA directs agencies to look well beyond the narrow limits of a single permit authority. Rather the law directs agencies to also consider broader community planning criteria as indicators of potential significant adverse impacts, including: "the creation of a material conflict with a community's current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted" INYCRR: 617.7(c)(1) (iv.)] - such as the conflict between the Town's Board's recent rejection of a water supply map amendment for Orient. "the impairment of the character or quality of important historical, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character;" [NYCRR: 617.7(c)(1) (v.)l - such as the potential for additional growth in the historic hamlet of Orient associated with the increased availability of water. "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" [NYCRR: 617.7(c)(1) (viii.)l - such as the potential for growth inducement along several hundred acres of undeveloped agricultural land that will have immediate access to the new water main should it be installed. 7 "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 in this subdivision" [NYCRR: 617.7(c)( 1 ) (xiii.)l - such as the combined effect of the 600 feet of directional drilling under dam pond taken in consideration with the completion of the 17,200 feet of water main and its associated long term usage and expansion throughout the hamlet of Orient. These are but a few of the many impact criteria that have been established in the implementing rules for SEQRA, which underscore SEQRA's mandate for a comprehensive assessment of major projects, such as the proposed water main to Orient that will fundamentally txansform Orient's water supply system for future. Along with any perceived benefits, clearly there are important planning issues that must be examined and subject to the disclosure and comment that can be provided through the preparation of a DEIS. VII. Adequacy of the Environmental Assessment Form As the Trustee's are no doubt aware, SEQRA is both a procedural and substantive law designed to take a hard and comprehensive look at the environmental consequences of actions approved, funded or undertaken by government agencies. The consequences of potential actions are also to be considered in light of potential mitigation measures intended to minimize impacts, and reasonable alternatives to actions proposed for approval. A. The Environmental Assessment Form- Part I The first step in achieving substantive compliance with SEQRA is for agencies and the public to have current and accurate information upon which an orderly and comprehensive decision about the potential significance of any action can be made. Based on the information discussed above, we take the position that the proposed action should be subject to a full SEQRA review and that this review should be supported by a current accurate, signed and verified EAF. We note that the EAF submitted by the SCWA, and referred to in its letter of transmittal was not signed by a responsible agency official or by the preparer (Exhibit F). We understand that the EAF was part of wider narrative prepared by an outside consultant, but SEQRA requires that the preparer, and an official of the approving agency who is responsible for Part II of the document be held accountable for the content of any EAF, and for good reason. The Trustees will also recall that the SCWA offered these two documents from the Town Board's file on the water map amendment as a way to support its own position that there would be no significant impact from the project. While the documents may lend support to SCWA's position, they do so based on a number of errors and inaccuracies contained in the EAF. In support of our position, we ask the Trustees to consider the following statements taken directly from the EAF for this project. 8 Question 013: Is the project site presently used by the community or neighborhood as an open space or recreation area? EAF Response: NO Comment: Anyone who has ever crossed the Orient Causeway on a regular basis can attest to the fact that vehicles are frequently parked along the north and south sides of the causeway for fishing, clamming, swimming, kayaking, bird watching, photography, star gazing and other recreational activities associated with the public use of Dam Pond and its surrounding environment. These uses generally exist along the entire shoulder of NYS Rte. 25 (north and south), up to the westerly boundary of Truman Beach. Moreover the specific path of the pipeline lies directly in the middle of one of the most widely recognized, well marked, bike lanes on the North Fork. This expanded roadway shoulder is used for biking, walking and other passive recreational activities throughout the year, and this is the precise area that will directly impacted during the open trench phases of pipeline installation. To suggest that this area is not well used for public recreation is highly inaccurate. Question 023: Total anticipated water usage per day? EAF Response: Unknown Comment: It seems extraordinary that the EAF does not provide a relative volume of water for a major public water proposal that is specifically designed to deliver metered water service to a defined geographic area. Clearly, the short- and long -term consequences of this project are significantly related to the amount of water available, the anticipated rates of flow, and the related volumes of discharges of that flow into the shallow aquifers of Orient. Question 025: Approvals Required (Section of the EAF that identifies involved agencies) Comment: The EAF fails to note that the subject action requires any local approval from the Town Trustees, despite the fact that the SCWA has already secured at least one permit and has been directed to submit another full wetlands permit to the Trustees. Comment: The EAF fails to note that the subject action also required approval from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). Question #25: Approvals Required (continued) Zoning and Planning Information (pages 8-10) Comment: In response to the question of whether or not the proposed action requires any planning or zoning decision the EAF responds NO. Ironically, the EAF itself was apparently filled out as part of the Southold Town Board's Water Map amendment hearing, which would certainly qualify as a substantive planning decision by the Town. Notably, the EAF provides a suitable check-off box for "other" planning and zoning requirements (such as the water map amendment). 9 UP GFORT~T [ND Section C. Zoning and Planning Approvals Question 06: Is the proposed action consistent with the recommended uses in adopted local land use plans: EAF Response: YES Comment: The EAF states that the proposed water main extension is consistent with the Southold Water Supply Management and Watershed Protection Strategy and the Orient Hamlet Study. Whatever the Water Supply Management and Protection Strategy may have said, the recent unanimous vote of the Town Board to reject the water line extension sets current policy for the direction of water supply in Southold Town. At a minimum, the EAF needs to be updated to reflect this decision, which is directly applicable to the subject action. Moreover, based on a review of the recommendations of the Orient Hamlet study posted on the Town's website it is unclear how the proposed water line would be supported by the general recommendations of the Hamlet Study. The EAF should explain the specific recommendations that demonstrate consistency with the pipeline proposal. Question #10: Will proposed action require any authorizations for the formation of new water or sewer districts? EAF Response: NO Comment: While the extension of a 17,200 foot water main into an area where no prior service existed my technically not form a new water district based on the SCWA's definition, clearly the proposal will provide new service connections to more than 100 properties and any reasonable assessment of this action should note that situation in the Environmental Assessment (which specifically provides a space for further elaboration). Ignoring the fundamental opportunity to define the extent of a major water project in a category specifically designed to address such issues is imprudent if not outright irresponsible. Verification (page 10) Comment: The EAF provides that its preparer be identified and that a signature and title of the person responsible for the information be affixed to the final EAF. For the subject EAF beth the name of the person responsible for the information (and the verification of its troth) are left blank in both signature and title lines. The lack of such signature and assignment of responsibility completely undermines the value of the EAF to an informed and transparent review process. B. Environmental Assessment Form Part II The EAF Part II is intended to help a lead agency assess the overall significance of a particular action in terms of the size, magnitude and capacity for mitigation. As is the case with the Part I of the EAF for this proposal, the EAF Part II also seems lacking in its objective assessment of potential impacts of the proposed water main extension. Question 1: Will the Proposed Action result in a physical change to the project site? EAF Response: NO 10 UP GOR T~T END Question 1: (Examples provided as representative criteria of potential impacts) [Will there be] construction on land where the depth to the water table is less than 3 feet? EAF Response: left blank Comment: The EAF Part II asserts that no physical change to the associated environment will take place, despite the fact that several miles of ditching, roadwork, repaving and pipe installation will be introduced in very close proximity to surface waters. The author of the EAF also failed to note the possibility of any construction in areas where the depth to the water table is less than 3 feet (a very likely situation along the causeway). Question 5: Will the Proposed Action affect surface or groundwater quality EAF Response: NO Question 5: (Examples provided as representative criteria of potential impacts) [Will there be] water usage in excess of 20,000 per day? Response: left blank [Does the] proposed action require water supply from wells with greater than 45 gallons/minute? EAF Response: left blank Comment: The EAF Part II asserts no groundwater affects, despite the fact that several related questions deal with the source of water and the amount of water that will be involved in the proposed system. For example, the EAF does not answer the question as to whether or not the project will result in water usage of 20,000 gallons per day, when its clear that the proposed transmission line (serving Browns Hills and those directly along the path of the pipeline) could exceed 20,000 gallons per day by the time it served 65-70 properties. Similarly, its very likely that the SCWA's supply wells would meet or exceed the 45 gallons/minute threshold noted on the EAF Part II, but if the preparer simply states that there will be no affect and thus avoid addressing the other subordinate questions. Unfortunately, this does not provide decision makers with the most through assessment. Question 20: Is there or is there likely to be public controversy related to potential adverse environmental impacts? EAF Response: N._Q Comment: There may be no better example of the inaccuracy of the EAF on file for this project than the response to Question 20. Clearly, by the time this document was prepared on April 20, 2010, there had been months over very high profile public controversy over this proposal. Virtually every local news media outlet had covered the issue on several occasions and residents throughout Orient and surrounding communities had made their concerns well known to elected officials from the local to the federal level. Residents have written letters of opposition by the dozens if not hundreds, testified before involved agencies, held public meetings, and negotiated directly with Town and agency officials for months. Even if there had been no public controversy at the time that this EAF was prepared, the level of public discord over this application has only increased since April 2010, and must be reflected as such in any EAF used to evaluate this proposal before the Town Trustees. 11 GO NDP VIII. Conclusions and Recommendations: Based on our evaluation of available public materials associated with the review of the subject application, we believe this proposal raises significant questions regarding the long-term protection and proper management of Southold Town's vital wetlands resources. We do not believe the Board of Trustees can answer these questions without further investigation. We find the scale and magnitude of this action, its potential range of community planning and environmental consequences, and the level of community and Town Board opposition, all to be sufficient and defensible reasons to support the requirement of a DEIS through a renewed SEQRA review process. We strongly disagree with the stated position of Trustees counsel on this matter. Through these comments we believe we have provided sufficient evidence to support the case for a new SEQRA review and a new public hearing on this matter that will allow the public to openly provide comment on the potential impact of the overall action. We object to numerous statements and omissions provided in the unsigned EAF, and request that a new and complete EAF be prepared as part of the continued review of this project. In the end, the subject action is far more than the administrative proposal that came before you in 2009. As we have all come to better understand the extent of this project and the potential implications of its installation, we believe the case for a DEIS is more than sufficient to justify the need for a positive declaration. In the end, a DEIS simply represents the most comprehensive level of environmental review that can be afforded a given project. Considering all the questions, points of view, permanence, and public funding involved with this proposal, we believe all parties will be best served by embarking on a complete and transparent review. Thank you for the opportunity to share our concerns. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. We greatly appreciate your commitment to serve the people of Southold Town and the challenges that come along with this responsibility. Sincerely, Robert S.

HOPKINS: Your Honor, Timothy J Hopkins, General Counsel Suffolk County Water Authority. MS. ANDALORO: Good morning, your Honor. Jennifer Andaloro Assistant Town Attorney, Town of Southold on behalf of the Town and the Board of Trustees. THE COURT: Thank you. Mr. Barshov, it is your application. MR. BARSHOV: Thank you, your Honor. I appreciate the opportunity to have oral argument in the courtroom, Judge. My clients, in particular, appreciate that very much. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedi~s 4 THE COURT: I understand that they are here in the courtroom, and it is good that every one is here to hear the arguments, and we will proceed at this time. MR. BARSHOV: Your Honor, the Article 78 petition seeks to overturn approvals by the Suffolk County Water Authority that would authorize the extension of a 12-inch water main for, approximately, 3 miles through lands that are, in part, substantially undeveloped, and are agricultural and unprotected, and would eventually terminate at the Browns Hill subdivision where there are, approximately, 25 homes. Those facts are not disputed. It is also not disputed that the size water main is 12 inches and would have the potential to serve, approximately, 1,000 homes. It is also not disputed that at public hearing recently, the Suffolk County Water Authority representatives indicated that their rates for determining how people would be charged would be based on, approximately, 700 users for this water line. So it is clear frown the path of the water line; from its size and from the words of the Suffolk County Water Authority itself, that this is not solely for the purpose of bringing water into the Browns Hills 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 5 subdivision, which only has 25 units. THE COURT: You are not suggesting that the Water Authority should charge these 25 people what they would, otherwise, normally charge 700 people? MR. BARSHOV: No, your Honor. I'm not here to articulate the basis for them -- their rates or how they charge. I'm only indicating that their statements regarding the number of units that this would be spread over, clearly demonstrates that they conte~plate that this water line will be used by more than the 25 people in the Browns Hills subdivision; that is the point we are making. Your Honor, the significance of this is that when an agency proposes an action, such as extension of a water line, it has to determine whether or not it is going to -- or how it is going to comply with the New York State Environmental QualityReviewAct. The Suffolk County Water Authority detezmined that this is what they denominated as a Type II Action under SEQRA, in which they say as a result of such a designation, they need not do an enviror~nental assessment or prepare an environmental i~pact statement. Our contention in the petition is that that would be a correct conclusion if the only purpose for 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 15 16 17 19 2O 21 22 23 24 2§ Proceedings 6 the extension of the water line would be to serve existing development; it is not. The line comes in and there are lands which could be developed and, indeed, could be induced to be developed as a result of the presence of this water line. The town itself and its town board members have acknowledged that the presence of water via a public water main, does have the potential to induce growth, and we cited, your Honor, in our papers two examples of that. One example that we gave was from a presentation or a statementmade by counsel member A1 Krupski, who said that he recalled -- and he is a town board member. He recalled subdivisions in which mny small lots could not be developed because of insufficient distance between wells and septic systems on those properties. Once the public water came in, he said, all those lots got developed. The point that he is making, Judge, is that there are requirements under the sanitary code that require separation of septic systems from wells, so the zoning does not always determine what the amount of development can be; indeed, there can be lesser amounts of development than would be authorized under the zoning because wells and septic systems have to be separated by a certain distance. And when public water 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 7 comes in, there is no need for such a separation because they are not using the wells anymore. So if the argument is raade, as I suspect that it will be, by counsel for the Water Authority, that just because there is zoning in place, growth cannot be induced, that is simply factually incorrect. THE COURT: Are your people afraid that there will be houses so closely packed together in Orient? MR. BARSHOV: My people, your Honor, are concerned that a water line will come in without any study whatsoever of its potential impacts. Part of the potential impacts is induced growth. They don't have a specific fear about houses being packed in, per se. What they are saying is you can't just bring in a water line like this without studying it, if it has the potential to induce growth. It is the study itself that will determine whether or not there is a danger; whether or not there is a significant impact. We don't prejudge that. All that the lead agency is supposed to do is identify if there may be; not will be, if there may be a single, one, single potential significant adverse impact. If that very, very, very low threshold is mat, then they must prepare an environmental i~act statement. Many environmental impact statements at the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 8 end of the day conclude that there will be no impacts that are significant or adverse; that could be an outcome here. It doesn't mean that because that is a possible outcome, that they get to short circuit the process, erroneously designate this as a Type II Action, avoid having to even prepare an environmental assessment and never prepare an environmental impact statement; that is what they are asking this Court to sanction. And indeed, your Honor, there is yet another example that I would give to the Court which was also from a town board member, and this town board member, I believe, was the supervisor, and he stated -- this is Supervisor Russell at a February 23, 2010 public work session, I wouldn't have an application for 160 condominiums in Cutchogue, were it not for the availability of public water, so it certainly opens up doors. Fisherman's Beach in Cutchogue wouldn't have gone from these little seasonal cottages to these 3,000 square foot monstrosities, absent the presence of water. It happens. Now, that is something that also presumably is allowed by zoning. The point is that when public water cc~es in, it has the potential to cause property owners to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 9 convert land from agricultural to residential; from cottages to more intense residential development, and these are the potential environmental impacts that need to be analyzed. Also, your Honor, we are not the only ones to have this observation. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation promulgated a SEQRA handbook which provides guidance to all lead agencies around the state, and it explicitly states, as we indicated in our papers, that in the event that a water line or other utility line is extended into agricultural areas, that it does have the potential to induced growth, and that that potential needs to be considered in determining whether or not it is a Type II Action. THE COURT: Isn't this water line going into an existing subdivision, development of homes? MR. BARSHOV: Your Honor, it terminates at an existing subdivision, but it traverses lands that are undeveloped; that are either adjacent to it or proximate to it. THE COURT: Is there any area of that area of Southhold from where the water lines are now located out to Orient that there aren't open farmlands? MR. BARSHOV: Sorry, your Honor. I didn't 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 10 understand your question. THE COURT: How much of that area is undeveloped? MR. BARSHOV: In percentage of -- THE COURT: From going out to Orient, how much of that North Fork area from where the line will start and extend out to this Browns Hills Development? MR. BARSHOV: We have identified your Honor, as approximately 250 acres of unprotected, undeveloped lands that could be developed; changed from agricultural or vacant status to be residentially developed. I don't know what the percentage is in comparison to the overall amount of acreage in Orient, but I do know that there is a very substantial amount of acreage that is i~m~Jiately proximate to this water line, and that, of course, does not include other portions of Orient, if the Water Authority chooses to attempt to extend this line further. Now, your Honor, another point that needs to be made is that there is no basis in the record for the Water Authority's determination that this is properly a Type Two. They made no findings. They did not indicate any documents that they had considered. They did not issue any kind of memorandum or something that 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 11 expresses their logic as to why it is that this should be considered a Type II Action, and why it should fall within the Type II list, as opposed to following the guidance of the SEQRA handbook that would provide that in the event that there is induced growth, that at least one must determine whether or not it is properly classified as a Type Two. And indeed, your Honor, I would point the Court to the case that actually the Water Authority brought to the Court's attention because it happens to support our claims, and that case is Hazenversus How, which we cite in our papers. And there, this is what the Court stated as to the importance of such a rational and I am reading, your Honor, from the decision of the Third Department. "There maybe a need to document the rational for this initial determination." The determination, your Honor, they are referring to is whether or not something is Type II. "There maybe a need to doclmment the rational for this initial determination in order to facilitate judicial review. When it is not manifestly clear that the activity involved meets the criteria defining a particular class of Type II actions, and a more detailed preliminary inquiry may also be necessary when 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 12 an administratively predetermined Type II classification conflicts with a competing environmental impact." What the Court is saying, your Honor, is that the Type II list is not robe read mechanistically, mechanically, in a way that defies examination of the surrounding facts and circumstances. This is a determination -- THE COURT: Just note the date of that decision. MR. BARSHOV: Sure, your Honor, I will give you the cite. It's 625 New York Sup 2nd 670, and it is the Third Department 1995. THE COURT: Thank you. Continue. MR. BARSHOV: And, your Honor, what the Court is stating to both lower courts, as well as to administrative agencies acting as lead agencies under SEQRA, is that this is not a mechanistic process. You have to look at the overall facts and circumstances, and if there is a competing environmental interest, such as induced growth, then it is incumbent upon the lead agency to state its rational so that this Court can know why and how it is that it made its determination; this record is barren. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 13 There is absolutely nothing whatsoever from the Suffolk County Water Authority that provides any incite into its rational. And that is the reason, your Honor, that after the fact; after the litigation was commenced, after the papers were filed, indeed, after its Answer was filed, there was a resolution that the Suffolk County Water Authority passed that purportedly clarified their initial approval of this project to say, now, after the fact, we designate this to be a "transmission line" to which no one could hookup, other than existing water users. And the Suffolk Department of Health Services has recently issued a report in which they state that that is unlawful; that it actually Violates the sanitary code. So we have the Suffolk County Water Authority attempting, after the administrative record is closed, to adopt a resolution that purportedly clarifies what it did in the first instance, convenient that the clarification occurs after the litigation was commenced, and the very clarification that they sought in order to prevent their being induced growth has now been criticized, directly and explicitly by another Suffolk County agency, saying no, you can't do that. You can't designate a transmission line and prevent 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 14 people from hooking up. The question is squarely presented, your Honor, to you, as to whether or not they properly inquired and documented their decision; provided a rational, or did they do what we believe they did? Which is they were concerned about getting federal stimulus money, and they put this thing together in the way they needed to to show that there.would be no environmental impact that needed to be addressed; no analysis that could be done so that they can show that this was shovel ready. That was the requirement that they had to get the Federal stimulus money. In our judgment, Judge, that is what guided this; not a genuine inquiry into the facts; not an actual examination of where induced growth can occur and to what degree and how much and an articulated basis set forth for their decision. This was driven by the fact that they wanted money, and they needed to go through that process in that way. THE COURT: Counselor, tell me about New York Code Rules and Regulations 617.5 discussing Type II Actions, especially the list under Subdivision C and Nine and Eleven. MR. BABSHOV: Judge, I believe because I don't have a photographic memory for the numbers, but I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 15 believe what you are referring to is the Type II Action designations that' would refer to the extension of utility lines. THE COURT: Right. b~. BARSHOV: Those, your Honor, provide Type II designation when the extension of the utility line is to render service in an approved subdivision. THE COURT: Is this an approved subdivision? MR. BARSHOV: What? Browns Hills? THE COURT: Yes. MR. BARSHOV: Yes, sir, it is. THE COURT: Is the proposal to extend this line into Browns Hills to provide clean water service to that co,amenity? MR. BARSHOV: That is what it would do, in part, your Honor. THE COURT: Isn't it a fact that the wells in that area are contaminated? MR. BARSHOV: That is my understanding, Judge. Now, the point, Judge, that we are making, and we have never challenged, by the way, so there should be no inference before this Court, we are not challenging the public purpose behind extending the water line. No one has contended that there isn't 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 16 conta~nated water out there. People who live in the area may agree or disagree as to whether they want the Water Authority to extend the line. There is,' by the way, a significant divergence of opinion even within people within Browns Hills subdivision as to whether or not they actually want this water line or not. THE COURT: Your clients aren't the only people that are living there? MR. B~RSHOV: Of course not, Judge. Absolutely. I'm just saying that there is a difference of opinion. Soma favor; some oppose. But the point that I'm making, Judge, is that this Type II Action list applies to this circumstance, and in the event that this were all that this action would be, which would be solely to extend water to a subdivision, so, for exan~le, suppose there is a line that ends here, and we have to extend the line 100 yard~ or 200 yards to get to an approved suk~ivision, then -- and there is no other intervening lands that could be developed. All that it is to extend water service to an approved subdivision, of course it is appropriate to Type II that, but when you have 3 miles of intervening lands, you have undeveloped lands that abut this, one cannot ignore; no one can ignore. It is not allowed under 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 17 SEQRA to simply ignore that there could be a potential induced growth that would arise from this. We are not saying that it would be bad, inherently. We are not even saying that it is definite that there is an adverse environmental impact. We do not have to establish that. ~_ll we have to say is that there may be a single potential significant adverse i~ct arising from induced growth, and if that is the case, then this does not fall within the list and citation that your Honor referred to because it is not the only thing that would be occurring; extending water service to an approved subdivision. THE COURT: have -- If you want to wind it up, I MR. BARSHOV: I do, your Honor. I just have a few more points to make, THE COURT: if I Keep it tight. I have two other attorneys to hear. MR. BARSHOV: I appreciate that. THE COURT: And I have other matters that I have to proceed with this morning. MR. BARSHOV: Your Honor, I will do so. I want, your Honor, please to also focus on 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 i9 2O 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 18 the fact that the town has acted -- sorry -- I just want to point out one thing first, your Honor, before we leave the SCWA, we do need to talk about the town. The SCWA adopted two resolutions in January of this year: One was this atten~ted retroactive transmission line; the other was to say that they were going to now study the impacts associated with a water plan. THE COURT: You are adding issues to this case -- MR. BARSHOV: I will move on. THE COURT: -- that I don't have before ~, and no one has had an opportunity to respond to. MR. BARSHOV: I will move on, Judge. THE COURT: I don't where a lot of these quotes are coming from, whether they are from newspapers -- MR. BARSHOV: They are in our papers. They are documented. They are referenced. They are in our papers, your Honor. Recently, your Honor, the Suffolk County Water Authority reversed its position that it would not apply for a water supply map amendment, and they did apply to the town board to amend its water supply mp in order to authorize this very extension of the water 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 19 line to Browns Hills subdivision. THE COURT: That is not before me, is it? MR. BARSHOV: It is, Judge. This is part of what has happened in this case. There is all sorts of references in opposing counsels' papers to these subsequent actions that occurred. THE COURT: I will hear from the town about that. MR. BARSHOV: But I want to point out simply to your Honor is that that application was denied. And, indeed, the town issued a letter to the Water Authority that is dated April 22, so this just happened. And in this letter, not only does it indicate, your Honor, that they denied the approval, but it also indicates that the Water Authority has not complied with the environmental conservation law; that they have split apart the approvals into separate groups. They have not applied for all of the approvals that are required. THE COURT: Does the town have the authority to stop the water line from being laid through the area? MR. BARS~OV: Your Honor, there is apparently a disagreement between the town and the Water Authority 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 20 about that. The Water Authority has stated at the public hearing that it need not go to the town. It can ignore the town's denial of the water supply map amendment; proceed on its own and, in deed, it said it would proceed on its own, even in the absence of Federal funding. THE COURT: And the town can stop the Water Authority by coming to court and arguing that point, whether it has the ability to stop the Water Authority. MR. BARSHOV: Yes, your Honor, it could. And the point that I'm making -- THE COURT: But I'm not going to deal with that today. MR. BARSHOV: The point, Judge, that I'm making is that the town board and the town counsel have co~m~nicated to the Water Authority that their position is that the Water Authority has violated SEQRA. THE COURT: Fine. MR. BARSHOV: And we concur, your Honor. THE COURT: I would think so. MR. BARSHOV: I would think that you would think so, as well, Judge. The final points, Judge, that I will make because I know that you have to hear from the other counsel, is that my clients are not coming before this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 21 Court to halt development. I know that has been a concern of your Honor's. The pleadings that we proffer to the Court, which indicate their interests in the commaanity, are there to establish standing. They are not there to say that we have sought relief; we are prohibiting all development; we are asking for the Court to enjoin development; that is not the case. Every individual petitioner has to demonstrate an interest different from that of the general public in order to have standing before this Court, and that is the reason why those statements are made in our amended petition. The prayer for relief that we have is a very simple one: Just make the water -- it is not a big deal. Just make them go back and properly assess this. And they have said that .they will go forward without the Federal funds. This is not a question where this Court has to feel that by granting this petition, that all of a sudden, something vital to the Water Authority or to the public is going to be gone; indeed, if that were the case, the town board would not have voted to turn down the water supply map amendment. They knew what the consequences of their action was. So what we are saying to this Court is that 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 22 your Honor doesn't have to feel that there are extraneous consequences to this. What we are asking for is to hold the Water Authority to its word; that they would go forward with this project regardless, and to require them simply to co~oly with the environmental quality review act; nothing more. Go back; designate this as an unlisted action, which it properly should be classified as, because of the induced growth potential; prepare an environmental assessment. If that environmental assessment shows from their expert, their environmental experts, no potential significant adverse impact, they will issue a negative declaration, and they will proceed on their way. If somebody wants to challenge that, then they will have to come back to this Court, but what they don't get to do is they don't get to silly say, we think that the end of this -- end of the analysis is that there will be no environmental impacts, and, therefore, preclude the necessity of the study in the first instance. They have to do the study, at least an environmental assessment, so that some court at some point can determine whether or not there really is a logical basis for a negative declaration. They have to take a hard look. They have not done that, as of yet. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 23 THE COURT: Thank you. For the Water Authority. MR. HOPKINS: Thank you, your Honor. Your Honor, the petitioners want to try to control land use in Orient by controlling the availability of safe water supplies. This is contrary to state law governing land use; it is contrary to state law regarding public health, and it is contrary to state law regarding state environmental review processes. State law provides that it is the Town of Southold, not the Suffolk County Water Authority, that has jurisdiction over land use in Orient through the enactment of zoning laws and regulations. The town has already adopted such zoning laws. If the petitioners seek to change zoning laws in Orient, they must petition the Town of Southold to change them. State law does not contemplate, sanction or authorize the control of land use through the denial of clean drinking water supplies to existing residents. The Suffolk County Department of Health services, in its pesticide contamination detection report, which is attached to the Suffolk County Water Authority papers as Exhibit F states: "Reliance on private drinking water wells in agricultural areas should be discouraged. An increased effort to extend 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 24 public water supplies to areas containing the most heavily contaminated private wells is needed." Orient is one of the last areas in Suffolk County with pesticide levels above state and Federal maximt~n contaminant levels that does not have access to a safe and adequate water supply from a public water supplier. This is borne out by the fact that the Suffolk County Departraent of Health Services has designated Orient as a public water supply priority area. Finally, your Honor, the State Environmental Quality Review Regulations regarding the extension of water mains to existing subdivisions is crystal clear. The extension of utility distribution facilities, including water, to render service in existing subdivisions, is a Type II Action, as a matter of law. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Departn~_nt of Health, New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation, Suffolk County Water Authority and the Town of Southold, have all determined that the proposed project, the transm/ssion line to the Browns Hills subdivision is a Type II Action. Even the Governor of the State of New York has certified that the project is a Type II Action. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 25 The petitioners claim that they s~ply seek to compel the Suffolk County Water Authority to fulfill obligations under SEQRA rings untrue. Those claims are nothing but bunk. The petitioners can cite no case law, no statute, no rule or regulation that requires an environmental assessment form to be filled out for this project, let alone an environmental in~act statement; instead, they rely on a single bullet point and the outdated and obsolete SEQRA handbook to support their arguments. This bullet point was rendered obsolete with the DEC's adoption of a new statewide SEQRA Type II list in 1996 that provided the extension of utility distribution facilities, including water, to render service in existing, subdivisions to be a Type II Action. The petitioners have argued that the Suffolk County Water Authority did not make a sufficient finding of fact in the record prior to designating the proposed project as a Type II Action; that is simply wrong, your Honor. Exhibit J of the Suffolk County Water Authority's submission, is a memorandum detailing the reasons why the action is a Type II Action. The same 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 26 analysis was performed for several other projects; many of which are in the Town of Southold. The same analysis is performed every t/me the Suffolk County Water Authority gets funding from an outside source to extend water mains. The petitioners made reference earlier to the case of Hazon versus How, and they cited 625 New York Sup 2nd 670, a decision rendered by the Third Department after being transferred by the Second Department. That case held that, indeed, the suggestion that a determination regarding a Type II Action must be annulled because the agency failed to make an explicit finding that a project was a Type II Action, must be rejected. The Court in that case said "To require an explicit individualized assessment of every project as petitioners would have it, would eliminate the benefits that emanate from the compilation of the Type II list under SEQRA." In that case, the Court ruled in favor of the agency, and that the action that they were trying to perform in that particular matter was a Type II Action. They said that they didn't have to make any specific determination whatsoever. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 27 In our particular case, the Suffolk County Water Authority did make such a determination, so did the Environmental Facilities Corporation, The Department of Health, the DEC, and the Governor of the State of New York. For all these reasons, your Honor, and for the reasons set forth in our papers, the Suffolk County Water Authority respectfully asks this Court for a judgment dismissing the petition. Thank you, your Honor. THE COURT: On behalf of the town. MS. ANDALORO: Good morning, your Honor. Before you, with respect to the town, is a Board of Trustees administrative permit issued for the direction of drilling of a portion of this pipe underneath Dam Pond; that is the limited scope of the permit that was before the trustees. The only plans that were given to the Board of Trustees were plans showing the direction of drilling under Dam Pond. They never received any plans showing the extent of the pipeline. Based upon the information that was before the Board of Trustees, they considered it as an administrative permit; it underwent administrative permit review, and as the town Board of Trustees has 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 28 done on many occasions with cases of directional drilling, they issued the administrative permit, without doing a SEQRA review, as such is their practice and as such that has been done. With respect to -- more recently, the town Board of Trustees has discovered additional portions of this transmission line fall within its jurisdiction. We have requested that the Suffolk County Water Authority come back before them to review the additional portions that are within their jurisdiction, and if they do not, the trustees reserve the right to revote the administrative permit that was issued. Other than that, the town has not taken a position with respect to the SEQRA review by the Water Authority. They did an uncoordinated review, and should our Board of Trustees determine that what the portions of the pipeline in addition to Dam Pond as to what they already reviewed, they may decide to do SEQ., time. town? but they don't have. that before them at this So that is all I have to say. THE COURT: The Board of Trustees, or the MS. ANDALORO: Well, the Town of Southold -- THE COURT: The town would undergo a study. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 29 MS. ANDALORO: Not necessarily. They would look at the project as a whole. They would look at the Dam Pond directional drilling, as well as the other portions of the transmission line that are before it. If they feel that it is an unlisted action that would require -- that would have an adverse /n?pact, they could very well say this requires an environmental impact review, or they could Type II it, just as the Suffolk County Water Authority has done, or they could negdeg (phonetic) it, if they decided it is an unlisted action; unfortunately, none of those issues have been before them at this time. THE COURT: That is it? MS. ANDALORO: Yes. Any questions? THE COURT: No. No. MR. BARSHOV: Your Honor, I just want to correct the record on two matters. It will take me less than a minute. First, the Town of Southold, in connection with its water supply map amendment application for the Suffolk County Water Authority did not Type II this. They deemed this to be -- and we are talking about the very action that was -- is proposed, which is the 1 2 3 4 J5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 30 extension of the water line. They deemed that to be an unlisted action and prepared an environmental assessment. It wasn't released because they voted it down, so already we have a conflict between the town beard and the Water Authority. Water Authority saying it is Type II; town board saying it is not Type II already. Secondly, regarding Exhibit J, which counsel -- THE COURT: I don't have control over that argument yet, if it will ever will come before me, between the Town and the Water Authority for the changing permits or require additional permits or a study. MR. BARSHOV: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the fact that the Suffolk County Water Authority applied for a map amendment to the water supply map for this water line extension, and the town board of the Town of Southold did not Type II this. The same action that the Water Authority Type II; they did not. They said it was unlisted, and they prepared an environmental assessment. And I'm sure that counsel will verify that, your Honor, if you ask her. Regarding Exhibit J, where counsel points to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 31 this as the locus of the analysis that purports to justify the conclusion that they reached, I want you please, Judge, to look at Exhibit J, and because it won't take you very long. All that it is is a series of the exact same interoffice memDrandum repeated by wrote over and over again. Here is a project. Here is a certain number of units or distance of the water line. And here is their conclusion that it is Type II. No analysis, no discussion of the facts: Nothing. It is -- there is literally no analysis in there. THE COURT: Isn't this the way that they have done this in the past? This is the process that has been developed within the walls of the Suffolk County Water Authority dealing with such extensions? MR. BARSHOV: Absolutely, Judge. The only thing that I wouldn't want you to think is that that process includes, demonstrates and reflects an actual analysis. Is it their knee jerk reaction that they extend a water line; it is Type II? Absolutely. They do this as a matter of course. They just don't think about it, and they, certainly, didn't think about it in this case. THE COURT: You are saying that they didn't think about it. I don't see evidence that they didn't 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 32 think about it. There are several memos from people within the Water Authority dealing with this question. MR. BARSHOV: Exhibit J, Judge, is exactly what I have described. It is just a series of the same memo over and over again. It is a conclusorymemo. It just says here is the reference project. How many linear feet of water main to existing residential customers. Project is identified as a Type II Action; quotes the regulation, and that is it. There is no analysis. THE COURT: Thank you. MR. BARSHOV: There is no reference as to could it induce growth and so on. THE COURT: Miss Andaloro, do you have any response? MS. ANDALORO: With respect to the town board review of the watermap? THE COURT: Yes. MS. ANDALORO: The town board has a process in place. It has a water map in place, which has, for years, provided the landscape of where public water will and will not go within the Town of Southold. As a matter of course and practice, they -- any action to amend that map is an unlisted action under the SEQRA regulations because it doesn't define 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 33 an amendment to a water map as a Type II, so that is why they considered it an unlisted action, and they do so every time they review a proposed water map amendment. THE COURT: I have enough. Bottomline here is that the state made certain pronouncements in 1996 when these amendments under New York Code Rules and Regulations 617.5 came into effect. It says clearly that: "The following actions are not subject to review under this part: Extension of utility distribution facilities, including water connections to render service in approved subdivisions." This is an extension of water service to an approved subdivision. And the rules and regulations give the Suffolk County Water Authority the power to make such decisions, and, specifically, describes the action that the Water Authority is proposing here, an extension of a water main into an area that isn't, otherwise, served by a water main to render service in an approved subdivision. The Court is not here to overrule the state regulations, the considerations and actions taken by the state, the executive or the legislative branch of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 34 the government; that is not our roll. This is, specifically, allowed, the action taken by the Water Authority, and is, specifically, described. We are not going to step in and change the rules and regulations. Now, if the town -- and it appears that the town is taking a look at this, whether it is a first look or second look or an expanded look, they have authority also in this area. The issues that are being raised there by residents or the town board or the town trustees are not before this Court. They may be at a future point in time. It may very well be that the town might decide that they are not going to change their water distribution map, and they are not going to allow certain actions necessary to extend this line without taking another look. And I hesitate to use the word hard look. It is a term of art, but a look at this project and possibly change the project to require further studies, but that is not before me at this time. All I can deal with is what is. And, basically, what is is whether or not the Suffolk County Water Authority took action beyond its authority, and I say no. They didn't exceed their authority; that is a denial of Motion Sequence 004. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Proceedings 35 There was another motion before the Court involving submission of sureplies; that is rendered -- the Court declares that as moot. I'm not going to reach that. We didn't use the sureply or the additional materials submitted by the petitioner with respect to that sureply; that is the judgment of the Court. Order the minutes. I will so order the minutes; that is it for that petition. MR. HOPKINS: Thank you, your Honor.

Jones, Chief Executive Officer ~ff'eik CountY Water AUthority 4~i~{} Sunrise Highway ~akdale, NY 11769-0901 RE: Board of Trustees/Administrative Permit for Directional Drilling Beneath Dam Pond Dear Mr. JOnes: As I trust you are aware, the Town Board declined to adopt the proposed local law amending the Town's Water Supply Map pending the adoption of the Town's updated Comprehensive Plan and the submission by the Suffolk CountY Water Authority (~¢WA) ef proof of the demand for publlcwater by the residents of Orient. As such, the ~own of $outhold maintains that the installation of any portion of the water main is prohibited at this time in accordance with the iong standing and well established agreement by the SCWA to defer to the Town's authorization of any water main extensions. With respect to other required aPProvale, although the Board of Trustees issued the $CWA an administrative permit in JUly 2009 for the Authority to undertake directional d~illing under Dam Pond, it has come to the attention of the Board of Trustees ~3Ubllc disclosures made in connection wit .... , through n [ne iown Board S consideration of an amendment to the Town'S Water Map that additional approvals may be required from the Board of Trustees. It Is clear that certain sections of the proposed water transmission main extension belween Dam Pond and Browns Hills are within the jurisdiction of the Beard of Trustees and, since the administrative permit was granted for the limited scope of work entailing the directional drilling under Dam Pond, any installation contemplated beyond the Dam Pond area will require a Wetlands Permit pursuant to Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code. We are also advised that the permits previously issued by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the Army Corps of Engineers are likewise limited to the directional drilling under Dam Pond. As I am sure you would agree, it is inappropriate and contrary to the mandates of the Environmental Conservation Law and related rc~gulations to obtain permits for a proposed action in a piecemeal fashion. We would respectfully request that the SCWA Mr; Stephen MJones Apd122,2010 Page 2 review the existing permits, to the extent they are valid, and amend your application to tile Board of Trustees so that the requisite review of the entire action can proceed. Please be advised that no further action should be taken with r~spect to the proposed water main extension until all required approvals are obtained and the Water Supply Map is formally amended by the adoption of a local law by the Town Board. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. MDF/Ik 'l'imethy J~ Hopkina, Esq.

Hopkins General Counsel SUFFOLK COUNTY WATER AUTHOI~ITY Administrative Offices: 4060 Sunrise Highway, Oakdale, NY 11769-0901 (631) 563-0236 Fax (631) 563-0370 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Town Hall Annex Building 54375 Route 25 P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 June 25, 2010 Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Dear Ms. Doherty: On April 22, 2010, the Southold Town Attorney sent a letter to the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) with respect to the above referenced project stating the following: With respect to required approvals, although the Board of Trustees issued to the SCWA an administrative permit in July 2009 for the Authority to undertake directional drilling under Dam Pond, it has come to the attention of the Board of Trustees through public disclosures made in connection with the Town Board's consideration of an amendment to the Town's Water Map that additional approvals may be required from the Board of Trustees. It is clear that certain sections of the proposed water transmission main extension between Dam Pond and Browns Hills are within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and, since the administrative permit was granted for the limited scope of work entailing the directional drilling under Dam Pond, any installation contemplated beyond the Dam Pond area will require a Wetlands Permit pursuant to Chapter 275 of the Southold Town Code. The letter went on to request that the SCWA amend its application to the Board of Trustees so that the requisite review of the entire action can proceed. A copy of the letter is enclosed for June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 2 your convenience. Since January 2001, the Town of Southold indicated that the no direct application for a wetlands permit need be made by the SCWA for water main projects that do not include direetionai drilling under a water body. The procedure was to simply have the highway department review the SCWA plans for road opening permits, and based upon those plans and meetings in the field and/or information provided by the SCWA line-up inspector, the highway department would advise the Board of Trustees and either accept or reject the SCWA proposal for erosion control (haybales/silt screens). A copy ofa SCWA Memorandum regarding this procedure is enclosed. That procedure has been followed by the SCWA and the Town since that time. In any event, in accordance with Mr. Finnegan's request and in the spirit of cooperation and coordination and to facilitate the provision of badly needed public water supplies to residents of the Town of Southold along the route of the proposed water main and to improve drinking water quality in the Browns Hills subdivision, please consider this an amendment of the application to the Board of Trustees regarding the above referenced application. The SCWA also respectfully reserves its legal rights with respect to this application and the issue of jurisdiction over the project by the Board of Trustees. As you are probably aware, the SCWA and the Board of Trnstees has already treated this project as a Type II action under SEQR because it involves the extension of utility distribution facilities to an existing subdivision as per the statewide SEQR Type II list. An Article 78 proceeding challenging this determination was dismissed affirming the determination that the project is a Type II action. You may not be aware of the fact that the Southold Town Board had an outside consultant prepare a SEQR long environmental assessment form for this project prior to the court decision. A copy of the same is enclosed for your reference. The Long EAF prepared for the Town Board includes an analysis of potential impacts related to the construction of the transmission main in an area ofpotentiaily regulated freshwater/tidal wetlands and flood plains at page 9. Part 2 of the Long EAF at page 12 of 21 indicates that the transmission main will not affect any water body designated as protected. Part 3 of the Long EAF concludes: The proposed action would not result in any new development. June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 3 The availability of public water will not, in and of itself, alter development patterns or result in increased density. Further, based upon the information provided regarding water quality in the shallow groundwater which is the sole drinking water source for the community it is expected that the proposed action and availability for connections by existing dwellings in the vicinity will result in significant public health, safety and welfare benefits. Also enclosed is a copy of the Plans for the Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion/Orient, New York dated June 17, 2009 (hereinafter "Plans"). These Plans indicate the entire route of the proposed water main. Please note that the directional drill under Dam Pond starts on page C-4 at distance 21+50 and ends on page C-5 at distance 26+00. This is the portion of the project for which the Board of Trustees has already issued an adminislxative permit. The Plans show two additional directional drills identified as Alternative Drill #1 and Alternative Drill #2. Instead of open cutting the roadbed near wetland areas, the SCWA will be installing additional portions of the water main utilizing the alternative directional drill method. This is the same installation method that was approved by the Board of Trustees for the section of the main going under Dam Pond. Alternative Drill #1 starts on page C-5 at distance 26+00, which is the location where the Dam Pond directional drill ended. Alternative Drill #1 ends on page C-6 at location 38+60. Alternative Drill #2 starts on page C-7 at location 46+70 and ends on page C-13 at location 85+50. Altemative Drill #1 and #2 will be exclusively within the roadbed and will not go under any water bodies. Also enclosed are other permits for the project for your reference. First, there is a letter from the US Army Corps of Engineers indicating that the project may be performed under the nationwide permit. The Army Corps of Engineers has indicated that it does not have jurisdiction over the portion of the project located in the road right of way. Second, there is a copy of the permit from the New York State Department of Enviromental Conservation ("DEC") for the Dam Pond portion of the project. Third, there is a copy of the SCWA's DEC general permit for the project. The DEC general permit applies to the installation of water mains within existing roadways and within five feet of the roadway shoulder June 25, 2010 Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees Re: Extension of Water Main on Main Road (NYS Route 25) East Marion to Brown Hills Road, Orient Page 4 near fresh and tidal wetlands. All of the proposed project falls within this definition with the exception of the Dam Pond directional drill portion of the project (which received a separate DEC permit as noted above). When the SCWA has a project falling under its DEC general permit, the SCWA sends a letter notifying the DEC. The notification includes project location maps and photographs of the site and adjacent wetlands. Enclosed is a copy of the maps and photographs that were sent to the DEC for this project in accordance with the SCWA's DEC general permit. Fourth, there is a copy of the New York State Depamnent of Transportation Highway Work Permit for the project. Fifth, there is a copy ora letter from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation which indicates that the proposed project will have no adverse effect on historic or cultural resources eligible for listing or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sixth, enclosed for you convenience is a copy of the Administrative Permit that was issued for the Dam Pond portion of the project by the Board of Trustees on July 22, 2009.

Very truly y~ours, / · Enclosures (three copies of each) Exhibit E d 617.20 Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there am aspects of a project that are subjective er unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full £AF 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 in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated er reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important.

Page 10 of 21 PART 2 - PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of Lead Agency General Information (Read Carefully) · In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been reasonable? 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 and/or 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 each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. · 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 (Read 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 er 2)to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example previded, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than 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 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in co{umn 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. 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 large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to 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.

Beyond the illegal segmentation scheme, and negotiation tactics in bad faith, SCWA has apparently made statements to elected officials (of both parties) at the Federal, State, County and Town level that have apparently led to significant, erroneous understandings about the scope of the project, the nature and urgency of the water quality and health justification for the parties actually being served, and many other matters, at almost every turn. The Trustees should consider carefully the intent, transparency, completeness and veracity of written and verbal communications with SCWA, as you uphold your duty to protect our wetlands and our fragile water supply, as well as our hard-earned tax dollars and our faith in a transparent political process. You risk undermining your own credibility as a Board Member, ~nd the credibility of Southold Town and it's ancient institution in which you serve. If SCWA's permit application is approved, you also risk me and my Orient neighbors joining with the Southold Town Board in whatever action they may choose to take against you all. Sincerely, MaryAnn Liberatore 8/5/2010 Standish, Lauren Page 1 of 1 From: jedwood@aol,com Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 6:36 PM To: Standish, Lauren L Cc: Jon.Schneider@maiLhouse.gov; info@orientwater.info; Ed@EdRomaine,com; Marc~marc~lessi.com Subject: SCWA and the permit issue TO: Southold Town Trustees FR: Jeri Woodhouse RE: SCWA wetlands permit application As former chair of the Southold Town Planning Board, past board member of two environmental organizations, and resident of the hamlet of Orient I am wdting on behalf of myself and my husband John to urge you to deny the permit application of the SCWA for a wetlands permit for a transmission line from East Marion to Browns Hills. I am very familiar with the history of this application and the controversy that it has generated. At one point during my tenure on the PB I scrutinized all of the water-related reports and correspondence between the town and the various agencies involved (SCDH, SCWA, etc) as background for a proposal to create an overlay protection zone to protect the fragile water supply in Orient. It was stated succinctly in reports and letters that there would be no water mains installed to bring water to Orient and there would be no amendments to the towns water map in the future to pipe public water to Orient. Not only was I interested in the water situation as a planner but as a homeowner who got our water from the wells on our property. It has been erroneously reported that we don't want public water in Orient and this is not true at all. Everyone wants( and has the dght to have) access to clean, safe water. But the issues go far beyond whether or not my clothes get stains on them or my hair turns green. We are surrounded by a delicate aqua/eca/system containing fishing, scallop and oyster nurseries, bird conservation areas, wildlife, vegetation and natural habitat areas. The causeway that leads me home is highly susceptible to flood and storm-tide damage. Our fragile fresh water aquifer is surrounded by salt water and that balance could easily be upset putting all of the existing wells at risk. I could continue to list the potential devastating effects of salt water intrusion etc., etc. - but surely you know all of this. The decison you make with respect to SCWA's application will have substantial consequences. If you grant the permit application AT THIS TIME and without adequate protections and safeguards in place there is no turning back. It is not always easy to stand up and say "no" - it takes fortitude and courage. And if not you as our trustees - then who? I have sat on the LWRP committee with some of you - and this application before you does not have the approval of the Local Waterfron Revitalization Program. It does not have the support of our Conservation Advisory Council. The Southold Town Board unanimously rejected a water supply map amendment. Our respected environmental organizations do not support this proposal. And the overwhelming majority of Orient residents do not support it, as you well know. Meeting with SCWA has became a farce, at best. It is almost inconceivable to me that with all the evidence and opposition this proposal has against it that it has gotten so far- and that any semblance cf truth concerning the nature and scope of this project has (excuse the pun) gone down the drain. I implore you to restore our faith and our trust in government. I implore you to stand up as our TRUSTEES and protect our wetlands, our water supply and our future. I implore you to act with courage and conviction and say no to the issuance of a permit to allow the transmission line at this time. Respectfully submitted, Jeff Woodhouse 2395 Village Lane Orient, NY 11957 8/4/2010 Page 1 of 1 Standish, Lauren From: Norah Bischoff [nborient@msn,com] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2010 5:22 PM To: Standish, Lauren Subject: Orient Water We believe the Suffolk Count Water Authority's application for a wetlands permit for a transmission line from East Marion to Browns Hills, should be rejected wholeheartedly for the following reasons: It will adversely affect the Wetlands of the Town and it will adversely affect fish, shellfish or other beneficial marine organisms, aquatic wild life and vegetation. The Causeway wall has seriously been breached and The Army Corps of Engineers is trying to fix it. The problem has not been resolved as yet. Serious engineering studies need to be conducted to see what pressure the pipeline will be under as it crosses the causeway - under and through the wetlands. The question is when a hurricane hits - what will be the impact on our water supply ? We know that the environmental assessment SC'WA is using in its application - must be approved by the Town in the form of the Water Supply Map amendment. As you know, Southold Town Board 'rejected' this unanimously. It mystifies us why the Trustees are even considering this application given they are part of Southold Town. We found out that there is insufficient demand for this water supply in Orient. All 24 households in Brown's Hills (the people to be served) are adamantly opposed to the pipeline. Along the pipeline reute, only 17 of 137 household surveyed by SCWA want the pipeline at this time ( by the way isn't this number less than the 40% SC'VVA demands with its other projects????). Also, close to 300 Orient residents out of 700+ households (which seems to meet the 40% criteria) have already signed a petition that says "Not at this time." We also have learned that this project does not have the approval of the Local Waterfront Revitalizaion Program nor does it have the support of the Conservation Advisory Council (CAC). It seems pretty clear to the residents in Orient that SONA's application for a Wetlands permit is disingenuous and arrogant without any consideration to the households it will truly affect in Orient. It should and must be rejected by you, our Trustees, who are responsible for the protection of our wetlands and our fragile water supply. Sincerely, Norah Bischoff .lane Winsch August 5,2010 8/5/2010 Page 1 of 1 Standish, Lauren From: ks11957@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2010 6:00 PM To: Standish, Lauren Subject: Orient Water Dear Trustees - It is beyond comprehension that the Board would even consider the SCWA's request for a wetlands permit so that they SCWA could continue with their water main project. The vast majority of Orient residents do not want this water main and yet SCWA persists in not even following their own 40% rule.

Judicial notice is a doctrine of the law of evidence by which civil and criminal courts recognize and accept facts without requiring proof and without permitting presentation of evidence or argument to the contrary. Judicial notice applies to simple, obvious facts. Judicial notice is the legal translation of the concept of common sense. It is common sense, and we can take judicial notice, that increasing a supply of potable water increases the demand for sewage treatment. The SCWA proposal to construct a potable water pipeline to Browns Hills is only half of the story. It is a peremptory condition that provisions for sewage treatment should preceed provision of potable water.

Even though we are not year-round residents of Orient, our family has been in Orient every year since 1938. My wife, Nancy, and I own the home at 595 Navy Street that was built by my parents. For many years my mother, Winifred L. Stewart, and my aunt, Jane L. Hady, were among Orient's most active citizens when they were full-time residents. Our commitment to Orient, along with our deep affection, is reflected in our Tennessee auto license plates: ORIENT and ORIENT2. We are strongly opposed to construction of the water line for a number of reasons. We are deeply concerned for its impact on Dam Pond and the causeway, along with the adjacent wetlands. This is a highly fragile strip of land that must not be disrupted by a main water line. Construction impacts will be severe and the continuing danger of the line's rupture in this fragile environment will be with us permanently. No need for the line has been demonstrated. No requests from the overwhelming majority of citizens have been forthcoming. Quite the contrary, there has been an overwhelming outcry against construction. I do not pretend to be an expert on the application of Federal and State environmental compliance regulations. But I am impressed by the concerns that have been raised by persons who are very familiar with these regulations. Added to the expressions of opposition related to absence of need and impact on Dam Pond and the causeway, these concerns make your decision, as I said in my Suffolk Times letter, a no-brainer. There are communities that need and want improved access to water. Say no to the SCWA so that they can take their stimulus money to these communities. John G. Stewart Nancy P.

Chairman James Gaughran himself said to me personally, that if you grant SCWA the permit application before you, they will take this as a sign of public support. This despite the fact that you very clearly said you would rule on narrow, technical grounds -- - and that your hearing was not about the pipeline and whether we want it or not, You have received many letters from Orient residents in the past 2 weeks, We do not want it - overwhelmingly, Do not allow SCWA to hide behind you; they will. The Town Board received many letters from Orient residents in April when they were considering the water map amendment. We were already clear that we do not want this and there are more of us now. The Town Board rejected the water map amendment because of this lack of support, correctly SO. SCWA must obtain ALL NECESSARY permits and permissions before they bring in their pipeline. This includes obtaining an amendment to the Southold Town Water Map. And that, in turn, has always included a full SEQRA review. SCWA not only has not presented evidence of these to you. You know full well that the town map extension law was rejected, unanimously. You must follow the lead of the Town Board. Finally, in their original application, SCWA stated that there was no public opposition to their project. There wasn't when they filed it. As we all know, the opposition now is overwhelming. To grant this permit application would be unconscionable. You and we would have to live with the terrible consequences for years to come. The worst would be left for the children of Southold.

I have attended a number of meetings regarding the proposed plan to run a pipeline to carry water from Dam Pond bridge along the road and then dig a trench past the wetlands and thence along the Main Road out to Browns Hills Road. Our Trustees have heard a few pres and a lot of cons regarding this project. I think the project is a silly way to spend Federal dollars and it won't put any Southolders to work. That, I beleive, was the point of the "stimulus" program. Digging in the wetlands is a bit dicey-the BP engineers thought the oil well was safe too. Since the Trustees have the responsibility to protect our environment and marine resources why would they consider this project as viable when the benefits fall to so few and a mistake whether man-made or caused by a natural disaster has the potential to harm our marine resources. Fresh water in Tuthill's Creek would wipe out the Oysterponds Oyster Company for instance. Let the SCW^ help folks that want their help. Clearly most of us don't!

Dear Gentlemen and Trustees: ! write to request that you reject the application before you for a wetlands permit for the Suffolk County Water Authority's transmission line from East Marion to Browns Hills. As T am sure you have heard from my neighbors and other concerned parties, the application fails to satisfy several criteria basic to the review process. It also fails to address concerns about the pipeline project's environmental impact both at and around Dam Pond but also to our entire precious aquifer. I urge you to continue your careful study of SCWA's scheme, tactics and transparency -- yes, they have a duty to be transparent in their service of the public good -- as you also consider their incomplete application, ,the overwhelming wishes of my community, proceedings at the Town Board level and the un-wished-for, unpleasant and irrevocably harmful consequences posed by the pipeline at this time.

Thank you. Kathleen Becker To: Southold Town Trustees Jill Doherty, President James King, Vice-President Dave Bergen Bob Ghosio, Jr. John Bredemeyer Dear Trustees: I have been a property in Orient since 1993 and a full time resident and registered voter since since 2005. SCWA's campaign to bring a pipeline to Browns' Hill is of great concern to me. The more I have followed this issue, and the more I have learned, the more strongly I feel, as do the majority of my neighbors that there is no water crisis in Orient. SO WHAT IS THE REAL REASON THAT SCWA WANTS TO BRING A PIPELINE INTO ORIENT?? SCWA's premise that they are only going to bring water to the 24 or so homes on Browns' Hill (most not full- time residents). This seems a dire misuse of stimulus monies, especially as there are other areas in Suffolk County who had repeatedly asked SCWA for help. I and others feel that SCWA's intent is ultimately to take water west to those areas that are more compromised than Orent. Their management has been very clear that profit is a major motivation in coming to Orient. I believe they have not been forthright about what their real agenda is to anyone who has questioned their motives including our Town Board and Trustees. Please do not approve the wetlands permit application filed with Southold Town by SWCA, or postpone consideration until such time all of the property owners of Orient have been surveyed (SCWA agreed to do so and has not) as to their wishes regarding "public" water" and a comprehensive plan for Southold is complete. As a purported "public benefit" entity, they need to listen to work with the public. We need a long term plan, we need to address storm water run-off, preserving our aquifer and educating citizens on how they can become stewards of the environment and the precious resources we have. Thank you.

The pipeline to Browns Hills is just one segment of a much larger intended project: to bring public water to all of Orient, and possibly to pump water out of Orient through the pipeline. This means there will be more digging and installing all the way to Orient Point, throughout the Village, in existing sub-divisions, ultimately down Narrow River Road. The 50 - 100 year consequences of this will, without a doubt, trigger more development in Orient - at denser levels than current zoning permits. That in turn leads to more pollution and sewage, as housing and development are by far the biggest contributor's to poor water quality in areas like ours. Anyone who doubts this and thinks current zoning is sufficient or defensible has not looked at what is happening on the South Fork as public water gains a hold there. There is not a single instance of public water intrusion we can find in Suffolk County that has not led directly to development.

As a resident of East Marion (18603 Main Road) who has a private well as our source of water supply and is also a board-certified water treatment professional, I am writing to provide some important information concerning this issue. Attached is a copy of a letter I wrote to the Southold Town Board, along with another I wrote to the Suffolk Times, but which was never published. As I have stated at one of the public meetings that the Town Board held, I am in favor of the public water main, for the many reasons cited in the two attached letters. I would like to point out that much "misinformation" has been disseminated to the Town Board and most likely, to the Trustees, as well. Fallacious claims about poorer water quality, health effects of chlorine disinfectant in public water, and the virtues of in-home treatment systems have been discussed by project opponents. On the other hand, the very detrimental effects that the discharge of concentrated backwash wastewater from home treatment systems into the home septic system have been largely ignored. Our fragile and shallow sole source aquifer is slowly being contaminated by these discharges which re-introduce the same pollutants that the home treatment systems removed. The important improvements to health and safety that public water will provide are also not being touted - greatly enhanced fire-fighting capability, and reliable, year-round regulatory-compliant water that meets all Safe Drinking Water standards. I am hoping that the Trustees will read the attached material so that they can be better informed in determining their vote on the wetlands permit requested by SCWA. I believe that the construction methods being proposed by SCWA will avoid any significant adverse impacts on the wetlands being traversed. Please distribute this email to them. I thank you and the Trustees for your consideration of the attached material. I would welcome any questions that the Trustees may have, and can be reached at the above email address. Best regards, Susan Melamud, PE Diplomate, American Academy of Environmental Engineers 8/10/2010 The Case for Public Water - Unmasking the Myths I am a Professional Engineer, Planner, and environmental consultant specializing in water treatment, but I'm writing as a concerned lO-year resident of East Marion, in favor of the proposed public water main that the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) has offered to construct between East Marion and Orient Point. I recognize that I may be in the minority on this heated and much-debated issue, but I'd like the opportunity to set the record straight concerning the advantages of public water, and dispel a few statements of mis-information that have been disseminated over the past couple of weeks, both at public hearings and in letters to the editor of your newspaper. I'm hoping that you will print this letter so that the public can be better informed. Myth # 1: Public water quality is poorer than that produced by in-home reverse osmosis and other treatment units. Public water is not necessarily poorer in quality, but it is different. While Reverse Osmosis systems produce excellent water quality, they remove minerals and other constituents that have positive effects on both health and taste. Many bottled water companies that use RO often add minerals back into the treated water so that the water has an appealing taste. Any water provided by SCWA will be treated to the highest standards regulated by New York State. SCWA has to perform rigorous sample analysis and testing to comply with these regulations, and the analyses are performed by a state-licensed laboratory. Myth #2: Chlorine added to public water can be carcinogenic. This is completely untrue. Chlorine disinfection of water has proven to be one of the most important boons to mankind with respect to public health, essentially eliminating the scourges that cholera, typhoid, and other epidemics inflicted on people throughout the world for thousands of years. The addition of chlorine to disinfect drinking water results in the inactivation of 99.99% of all viruses, as well as a host of other pathogens. There is one downside to chlorine disinfection, however.., free chlorine in the water can combine with organics and form disinfection by-products (DBPs), some of which (trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids) have been proven carcinogenic when ingested in large concentrations and volumes over a typical human lifespan. The good news is that groundwater (which constitutes almost all of SCWA's water supply), in general, has extremely Iow concentrations of organics, resulting in negligible DBP formation and essentially zero cancer risk. Myth # 3: The drinking water quality problem in our area can be solved by having in-home carbon, reverse osmosis, and/or ion exchange systems in each home. Certainly, these systems, alone or in combination (depending on the specific water quality problem), will produce good quality water. However, each system produces a "reject stream" resulting from backwashing the media. The reject streams have high concentrations of contaminants - the very contaminants that were removed by the treatment systems - and these concentrated streams are typically discharged to the household septic systems, where they leach into the soil. In this manner, the contaminants contained in the reject streams ultimately travel back into our precious aquifer. In other words, we are slowly but surely poisoning our drinking water by reintroducing the very contaminants we had hoped to remove, and doing so in a more concentrated manner that continually worsens the drinking water quality! Myth # 4: Public water is an unnecessary evil that will cause overdevelopment of our rural communities, further taxing our infrastructure. Such is not thc case....construction of a new water main does not constitute an automatic "green light" for development. Strict State and County laws governing septic system placement and setbacks preclude wholesale development even in areas where public water is available. Our Town codes and Planning/Zoning Boards are well-equipped to protect our communities from the threat of rampant development. The Town Council can ensure that the only pmties to connect to the new main are existing homes with groundwater supplies, as well as any individual residences that may be constructed on currently undeveloped, single-home properties. Strict adherence to and enforcement of ordinance setback and density requirements will ensure that any new development is in harmony with our rural serenity, while residents can enjoy the healthful benefits of public water. Summing it Up...A Boon and Benefit In short, public water offers tremendous benefits. In addition to protecting our health and vulnerability to contaminants in the aquifer, it greatly enhances fire protection and safety, and, unlike private wells, is available during power outages, enabling us to flush toilets, take showers, and prepare food. Having public water thus makes us safer, healthier, and improves our property values. Many homes like ours, situated along Main Road east of the existing pipeline, would welcome the great advantages that a public drinking water supply offers. Sincerely, Susan M. Melamud, P.E., Professional Planner, and Diplomate, American Academy of Environmental Engineers Susan and Ron Melamud 66 Constitution Way Jersey City, NJ 07305 (201) 985-3870 December 1, 2009 Mr. Scott Russell, Supervisor Town of Southold Town Hall - 53095 Route 25 P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Dear Supervisor Russell: I am a Professional Engineer, Professional Planner, and environmental consultant specializing in water treatment, but I'm writing to you as a concemed resident of East Marion, strongly in favor of the proposed public water main that the Suffolk County Water Authority has offered to construct along Route 25, between East Marion and Orient Point. As the easternmost Soundfront property in East Marion (18603 Main Road), we reside east of the current termination of the existing water main in Route 25, and rely on a shallow (20-foot deep) well for our home's drinking water supply. Being so shallow (as needed to tap the underlying aquifer), our well is highly vulnerable to contamination from surface sources, as well as saltwater intrusion. Indeed, the water from our well, which we test regularly at great expense, has a high chloride content (indicating saltwater influence), as well as high iron concentration, well in excess of public drinking water standards. The water also has a low pH, making it "aggressive" and subjecting our plumbing system to corrosion. Living in close proximity to several farms, we also test for pesticides and herbicides, and while these levels are currently below regulatory requirements for public water, we are concerned about increasing concentrations of these toxic and carcinogenic compounds over time. We have had to install an ion exchange system to remove both calcium hardness and iron from our well water. While this system works well, it requires regular maintenance - replenishing the salt supply, backwashing, and ultimately replacing the resin when spent. Failure to do so in a timely manner could result in widespread clogging of our home's entire plumbing system with oxidized iron particles, requiring extensive replacement of piping and plumbing fixtures. We have experienced such failures while we were away from the home, despite our best efforts to be diligent in the maintenance and upkeep of the ion exchange system. We also experienced a freeze-up during a severe winter that, among other damages, resulted in our having to replace the entire ion exchange system, located under our home in an unheated space. There is no other place to locate this bulky system inside our modest-sized home. Besides these nuisances and costly inconveniences, health effects are by far our greatest concem with respect to remaining on our groundwater supply. It costs close to $1,000 each time that we test our Supervisor Scott Russell December 1, 2009 Page 2 well for the various contaminants of concem, and even doing this twice a year does not ensure that we will detect a significant change in water quality soon enough to prevent adverse impacts on our health. Rising levels of contaminants threaten our ability to ensure the continued safety of our private well supply. We would greatly benefit from being able to access the public water supplied by SCWA, which we am confident meets all regulatory standards, and is considerably more safe and reliable than our shallow well. The homes in the Browns Hill development, which suffered severe well contamination and have received in-home treatment systems from SCWA, would also greatly benefit from public water, as would the environment - our vital resource. The in-home treatment systems provided by SCWA require diligent and costly maintenance, and they produce a concentrated wastewater from their backwash operation, which must be disposed of outside the home. While I am not aware of the specific details for Browns Hill, I know that, without a sewer system, such wastewater is typically discharged to the ground through a drywell, where, over time, it leaches into the aquifer. These wastewater discharges thus create a vicious cycle that actually propagates groundwater contamination - the very situation that the in-home treatment systems were installed to remedy! We ask that the Town of Southold reconsider its position and approve SCWA's proposed water main project. Many other homes like ours, situated along Main Road east of the existing pipeline, would welcome the great advantages that a public drinking water supply offers. While I completely understand the Town's concern with respect to protecting our beautiful rural setting from overdevelopment, I would argue that the Town ordinances and Planning and Zoning Boards, along with the Trustees, protect us well from this threat. Construction of a new water main does not, by itself, constitute an automatic "green light" for development. With our Board members at the helm and in control, the Town can ensure that the only parties to connect to the new main are existing homes with groundwater supplies, as well as any individual residences that are constructed on currently undeveloped, single-home properties. Strict adherence to and enfomement of our ordinance setback and density requirements will continue to ensure that new development is in harmony with our rural serenity, while current residents can enjoy the healthful benefits of public water. On behalf of other East Marion, Orient, and Orient Point residents in our situation, my family and I implore you and the Town Council to reconsider approval of the proposed SCWA water main. Without such approval, we will be denied the access to public water that we greatly need. Thank you for your efforts on our behal~ Sincerely, Susan M. Melamud, P.E., P.P.

Eastern Daylight Time Subj: water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink It is an outrage that one elected official ( Scott Russell ) Southold Town Supervisor, would try to use his position of influence to coerce other elected officials that sit on the Board of Trustees by telling them to "just say no" to approving the water main issue in Orient. Mr Russell has been more of a hindrance then a help in trying to resolve the issue of contaminated wells that exist in most of Orient. He fails to recognize that this is not just a Browns Hills issue. He fails to recognize that the Oysterponds elementary school spends $ 5000 per year to test their wells. He fails to recognize that with public water the school would be able to install a fire preventive sprinkler system that would greatly reduce their insurance rates. He fails to recognize that a sprinkler system would not only provide added protection for the children and staff, but for the building itself. If I had such a system in my home, I could save ten to twenty percent on my home owners insurance rate. The Suffolk County Health Department has warned many of us not to drink the water if you are pregnant,, receiving chemo therapy, people on dialysis, a compromised immune system, or if you are a small child. What is it that Supervisor Russell Does not understand that by having fire hydrants we would all have better protection ? What part of the words" CONTAMINATED WELLS" does Supervisor Russell not understand ? We need a Town Board that is concerned about the health and protection of our community, not one that panders for votes and denies the home owners with contaminated wells the clean water they are entitled to.

I do not have a formal role in either the decision of the New York State Department of Health and New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation to initially fund this application, nor do I have a role in the permit application before you. Because this project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, I have been involved in making sure the community is heard on this project. I believe it is vital that when a project goes forward in a community, that it has the support of those who will be most affected. It is clear to me from conversations I have had with people from the area, as well as correspondence I received that the overwhelming majority of Orient residents oppose this project. Furthermore, based on my conversations with the leadership of the SCWA, I have been assured that the project will not go forward if this permit is denied for any reason by the Trustees. SCWA has clearly indicated both to me personally and in public that it will not challenge a denial by the Trustees. 8/17/2010 Page 2 of 2 With the assumption that the Trustees would oppose this permit, I have worked closely with Supervisor Russell, local residents and the SCWA to remove the Water Authority from Browns Hills. However, these efforts are at a standstill until such time as the pipeline is totally offthe table. Therefore, ! strongly encourage you not to view this application with a narrow lens but to consider the scope of the entire project and the opportunity you have to respond to a clearly expressed position of the citizens you serve. Thank you for your consideration. If my office can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask.
