Among its other operations, this facility presently collects the recyclable portions of the Town's residential and commercial solid waste streams, and transfers them to trucks for removal and reuse elsewhere. The Town is exploring this project, as it would be most efficient and economical to retain this operation at this site, since the other related Town solid waste handling operations are also located at this location. However, in consideration of factors such as intensity of operations, surrounding land use, nuisances such as blowing debris and odors, the condition and capacity of the facility, and the anticipated future volume of traffic, the District's Solid Waste Coordinator has determined that substantial improvements to the facility are warranted. Such a capital program had been proposed by the District in 1997, but was not fully implemented as the landfill was undergoing closure and capping. As the capping operation is scheduled for completion by the end of May 2003, it is now appropriate to begin considering the expansion of the recycling facility. The facility is located on the north side of Suffolk County Route (CR) 48, between Cox Lane and Depot Lane, in Cutchogue, Town of Southold. The entire landfill site is designated as District 1000, Section 96, Block 1, Lots 2 and 17.3 by the Suffolk County tax map; the project area occupies a portion of Lot 2. This proposed action would occupy an estimated 6.4 acres of the overall 78± -acre Town landfill property, which is presently occupied by the closed Town landfill, the existing Town solid waste transfer operation center, and the proposed Town yard waste/composting operation. The subject area lies adjacent to and south of the landfill, is already occupied by an approximately 4,800 SF operations & maintenance building (which would be expanded to accommodate the proposed action), is zoned LI for industrial purposes, and lies centrally within an existing industrially - zoned area. The proposed project involves expansion of the existing building to 19,200± SF, in order to expand the capacity and improve its existing recycling and solid waste handling operations. In support of this, auto and truck traffic to the site will be directed through a new access off Cox lane; this will significantly reduce use of a curb cut on CR 48 in proximity to several residences. The new access, off Cox Lane, will be utilized by trucks and residents' autos; however, these two traffic streams will be separated prior to entering the facility; commercial trucks will utilize a separate portion of the site and building from that of private residents' autos. Site employees will continue to use the CR 48 access, where the Town maintains an administrative office. This document presents information concerning the design, operation and use of the 6.4f -acre parcel, and provides analyses regarding the potential for and significance of impacts associated with this action. This document includes project information and analysis for use by the Town Board and other agencies involved in funding, implementing and/or approving the project. Page I Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 2.0 PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT The purpose of this document is to provide documentation concerning the use of a 6.4± -acre portion of the overall 78f -acre Town landfill site, for use as an expanded commercial and residential solid waste recycling center. Part 1 of an Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) has been completed for this project and is attached with this document (see Attachment 1). The EAF Part 1 is used as an information gathering and screening tool, for initial project review and coordination. The attached EAF Part 2 (see Attachment 2) is entitled "Project Impacts and Their Magnitude". This form provides a means of assessing the magnitude of impacts associated with a project. The EAF Part 2 indicates the following with respect to potential impacts of a project: 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. The EAF Part 2 identified the potential impacts associated with the application and their respective magnitudes. Issues identified as having the potentially large impacts include land, aesthetics, transportation and community character. This EAF Part 3 has been prepared to further assess the potential impacts of the proposed action. Section 3.0 presents a more detailed description of the proposed project, and includes information on the design and operation of the facility. Sections 4.0 and 5.0 provide general and specific impact analyses and discussions of each potential impact of the subject application. This document may be used by the Town Board in reaching decisions on rendering project funding and implementation, as well as by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and agencies involved in approving this recycling collection facility proposal. Page 2 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Overview The area subject to this application is a 6.4± -acre portion of the overall 78± -acre Town landfill site, which is located on CR 48 between Cox Lane and Depot Lane, in Cutchogue, New York. This area is intended to provide space to improve and expand the existing Town commercial and residential recycling operations that currently occupy this area; consolidate operations; and, to locate these operations under cover. Operations at the solid waste facility consist of the following: • An unlined landfill, now closed, which ceased operations on October 8, 1993 (capping is nearly complete); • A solid waste and recyclables transfer station that accommodates both commercial and residential users; • A permanent household hazardous waste storage facility; • A yard waste composting operation; • A construction and demolition debris holding and transfer station; • A holding area for household appliances and tires awaiting transfer to processing facilities outside of the Town; and • A reuse center for the free exchange of items otherwise destined for the waste stream. It is estimated that a total of approximately 94 tons of municipal solid waste was generated per day in the entire Town in 1994. This amount represents a reduction in solid waste generation of nearly 40 tons per day from 1989, primarily due to the establishment of a volume -based pricing system for household garbage on the mainland. Future waste stream projections based on 1994 data and weighted population estimates, show an average generation rate of 103 tons per day in 2000, 113 tons per day in 2005 and 126 tons per day in 2010. As the Town is now addressing an on-going waste disposal crisis, and in consideration of the above -noted increase in solid waste generation, it has determined to expand the facility to accommodate the existing level and intensity of operations to better support this recycling operation. This in turn is expected to also reduce the volume of solid waste requiring disposal. Such an expansion would also increase the Town's revenue stream by sale of the recycled materials, offsetting at least a portion of the costs of implementing and operating this expansion. This facility will require a registration with the NYSDEC per Part 360.12 (Recyclables Handling and Recovery Facilities), and will operate in conformance with the applicable requirements of Part 360-1.14. Page 3 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 3.2 Existing Operations Attachment 3 presents a series of photos of the site and vicinity; photos 1-9 depict current site conditions and operations, and photos 10-12 show the roadway conditions at and near the existing site entrance. Figure 1 depicts the current condition and layout of the project site; it is occupied by a 4,800± SF building, in which solid wastes generated by commercial sources and Town residents are handled for disposal and/or recycling. There are a total of 15 full-time and 5 part-time employees present; the facility is open from 7 AM to 5 PM seven days per week. At present, all solid wastes (both residential and commercial) are sent to the landfill site; contractor trucks deliver commercial wastes and residents drop off residential wastes. All solid waste is source -separated into recyclable (paper, cans, glass and plastics) and non -recyclable portions before delivery. Non -recyclable household garbage is dumped into a concrete trench located inside the existing building. Site design prevents the intermixing of residential and commercial traffic beyond the access corridor, in order to provide an increased level of safety and to reduce the amount of traffic on both Cox Lane and at the entrance on CR 48. Commercial garbage is dumped outside the building and into the concrete trench, from where it is loaded into transfer trailers outside the building to be carted away. Commercial deliveries are deposited on the western side of the building, separately from the residential portion (on the east side). Other types of wastes delivered by residents or commercial trucks (such as C&D debris and yard wastes) are deposited on other, open-air portions of the site. Compost -safe material like yard waste is dropped off at the yard waste composting area and not at the collection/recycling center. Commercial and residential vehicles access this area via the landfill entrance on CR 48. The Town Sold Waste Coordinator's office indicates that, on the average, generally two 25 -cubic yard "packers" enter daily, and 1-2 100 cubic yard (CY) trailers and one 60 CY roll -off container exit daily. It is estimated that approximately 5,500 tons/year (tpy) of commercial solid wastes and 4,500 tpy of residential waste are processed at this facility. Recyclable materials are also dropped off at the facility. Residential traffic to the recyclables drop-off area averages about 300 vehicles per day. However, during the peak summer period this number can range up to 1,200-1,500 vehicles daily. At the facility, these goods are received, sorted, stored and removed for recycling elsewhere. Revenues generated by sale of these materials are deposited with the Town. The District's Solid Waste Coordinator estimates that 2,500 tons per year (tpy) of recyclables are generated at this facility. The scale house weighs and records vehicles entering with waste that is not contained in Town bags, including yard waste. Traffic at the scale house ranges from 50 to 500 vehicles daily, with an average of about 200/day. Additionally, the scale house weighs and records all material leaving the site, including compost. Residents are allowed to leave and pickup items that are in reasonable condition at the re -use center. The re -use center operates Friday through Sunday from 8AM to 4PM. The actual use of the re -use center is not known, but is estimated to be in the range 250-300 users daily.

The existing structure will be expanded to a total of approximately 19,220 SF, enabling a substantial increase in the volume of materials that can be received, sorted and stored within. - A truck loading/unloading dock is located on the western side, with storage inside and outside, on the north. To the west of this building is the truck weigh station, where both incoming and outgoing trucks are to be weighed, to establish the amounts of materials brought to and. taken from the site. New internal roadways will allow trucks to enter the drop-off area directly through a 1,160 -foot long corridor to Cox Lane to the north, to visit the scale house prior to accessing the commercial portion of the facility. This corridor has been provided as the result of a land swap with the neighbor, the Corazzini Asphalt Company; the Town had owned a similar corridor on the west side of the asphalt plant site which, due to its location facing the closed landfill, would not provide proper access for residents. Therefore, the Town and Corazzini agreed to exchange this piece of property for a narrow strip on Corazzini's eastern side having a similar acreage. Trucks will also be able to access the rest of the landfill property from the commercial area. Residential solid waste deliveries/drop-offs will access the residential area through Cox Lane as well. Site design prevents the intermixing of residential and commercial traffic beyond this access corridor, in order to provide an increased level of safety and to reduce the amount of traffic on both Cox Lane and at the entrance on CR 48. The residential waste drop-off area is located on the structure's northern side adjacent to the resident's parking area, where bins will be provided for residents to deposit wastes and recyclables directly from their vehicles. Here, additional bins will be provided to deposit batteries, waste oil and clothing. An attendant will be stationed in this residential drop-off area to provide direction to residents and monitor the area. Thirty-seven (37) parking spaces are provided in the residential area; 26 (including 2 handicapped spaces) are adjacent to the drop-off area, 7 spaces are adjacent to the Re -Use Center, and 4 spaces abut the recycling bins for clothing, waste oil and batteries. The landfill has been closed since October 1993, and is in the process of being capped (i.e., sealed permanently with an impervious clay layer and plastic liner, with a covering of soil and landscaping). This process is currently scheduled to be completed by May 31, 2003; the required Final Inspection and Certification report is to be completed within 90 days of the close of capping operations. In order to minimize any potential -aesthetic and noise impacts on the adjacent residents to the east (along Tuthill Road), the Town will install a -12-foot high concrete noise barrier along the boundary with these homes. 3.4 Proposed Facility Operations It is anticipated that the same operating hours as the existing facility will be followed: seven days per week, between 7AM and SPM. The current employment of 15 full time and five part time employees is expected to remain unchanged.

McLean Scale: Not to Scale NORTH Page, 7 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 No increase in the overall level of truck and auto traffic entering and exiting the site is anticipated, despite the increased capacity of the facility. The project is intended to improve the existing Town facility's operations and capacity; the current level of solid waste generation or drop-off at this facility would not be stimulated by this proposal. The new access point would direct entering/exiting traffic onto Cox Lane, and thence through its intersection with CR 48, a signalized intersection capable of handling this level of traffic. In addition, the landfill is closed, and this previous use was a significant generator of truck traffic. As a result, overall trip generation for the entire landfill property has been decreased. All commercial and residential trips to and from the site will use the southerly 780 feet of Cox Lane (as measured from CR 48) to access the site; this localized increase in usage is not anticipated to significantly impact the overall operation of Cox Lane. 'All incoming commercial materials will be unloaded and inspected at the receiving and sorting area. Here, the wastes are unloaded by payloader for storage in the individual bins or stockpiles either within the building or outside. Residential wastes are unloaded by residents and deposited in the appropriate bins, after inspection by an attendant. Recyclables will be sorted into 2 streams: paper products (cardboard, newspaper, junk -mail, etc.) and non -paper recyclables (cans, glass, plastic, etc.). The mixed streams will be shipped to recyclers and/or sorting facilities. As can be seen, residential paper, commercial paper, residential cans and glass, commercial cans and glass, commercial C&D, and residential waste will be processed within the proposed building, with storage of commercial metals, white goods and bulk items taking place outdoors: Trucks bringing wastes to the site will access the building via Cox Lane, and will be required to weigh at the scale house before unloading inside of the building, for processing. After emptying their trailers, departing trucks will either exit the site directly, or undergo weighing before departure. Trucks removing sorted materials will undergo the same process; they would be weighed empty upon arrival and be weighed again (after being loaded) before departing. Residential wastes will also arrive via Cox Lane; these wastes will be unloaded without the need for weighing. Wastes will be separated by the residents, and deposited into individual labeled bins inside the building from the outside, adjacent to the parking/unloading area. The layout of the site will prevent residential depositors (assumed to utilize private vehicles) from interacting with the larger commercial trucks anticipated to be used by commercial drivers. Page 8 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 4.0 GENERAL ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS Consideration is being given to the use of a 6.4f -acre portion of the 78f -acre Town landfill in Cutchogue, to expand and improve the existing Town commercial and residential recycling collection facility located there. The project site is approximately 400 feet from east to west, and about 650 feet in a north -south dimension. The current operation conducted within the site involves receiving recyclable components of the total waste stream, and sorting, storing and distributing them to recyclers for reprocessing. Recycling facilities are regulated under the New York State Environmental Conservation Law, with regulations contained in 6 NYCRR Part 360, Solid Waste Management Facilities, specifically under Part 360-12. The current Town of Southold recycling facility does not require a full Part 360 permit; only registration is required. Therefore, a facility of this type is presumed by the NYSDEC to not be of a type sufficient to cause potential environmental impacts requiring a full permit; however, such facilities must nevertheless be operated in a manner that conforms to established procedures and limits. Acceptable recycling efforts involve safe, efficient operations while minimizing odors and nuisances. The NYSDEC is aware of the current recycling facility, which is operated in a manner that meets this definition. The operational requirements for a recycling facility under Part 360-12 are also very rigorous, and involve the following: In addition to the requirements set forth in subdivision 360-1.8(h) of this Part, the owner or operator of a recyclables handling and recovery facility (other than those facilities described in subdivisions 360-12.1(b) and 360-12.1(c) of this Subpart) must operate in compliance with the operational requirements of this section. Failure to comply with these operational requirements may result in the revocation of any exemptions previously granted by the department and may subject the owners or operators to all otherwise applicable portions of Part 360 including permitting under Subpart 360-11 of this Part. (a) Receipt and handling of solid waste. (1) The facility may receive only source separated nonputrescible recyclables which may be further processed. (2) External storage of paper and other recyclables whose marketability may be adversely affected by exposure to the sun or weather conditions is prohibited unless stored in covered containers or in a manner otherwise acceptable to the department. Solid waste separated for recycling must be stored separately and maintained in a safe, sanitary and orderly manner to ensure its marketability is not adversely affected. Solid waste which the facility does not intend to recover and which does not contain putrescible material may be stored for a period not to exceed two weeks unless otherwise acceptable to the Page 9 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 department. No person shall store solid waste or recyclables at the facility in such a manner that they become a nuisance or a sanitary or environmental problem. (3) All indoor and outdoor storage, handling and tipping areas must include appropriate fire detection and protection equipment, and be accessible by fire fighting equipment. (4) The site and facility must have adequate drainage, be drained and be free of standing water. (5) All solid waste passing through the facility must ultimately be recycled or be disposed of at a solid waste management facility authorized by the department if in this State, or by the appropriate governmental agency or agencies if located in other states, territories, or nations. (6) In addition to the above requirements, for facilities handling materials containing refrigerants, the refrigerants must be properly removed and managed prior to crushing or shredding of the materials. (7) Incidental putrescibles or putrescible residues may be stored for a period not to exceed one week. (b) Storage. Nonputrescible recyclables may be stored for up to 60 days. Recyclables may be stored for a longer period of time with department approval if the department determines: (1) there is a demonstrated need to do so (such as a market agreement with terms of receipt based on greater than 60 -day intervals or volumes that may take longer than 60 days to acquire); (2) there is sufficient department -approved storage area; (3) an inventory methodology including a daily log system is used to ensure that the recyclables do not remain on the facility site for longer than specified; and (4) the inventory methodology is provided to and approved by the department before storage begins. (c) Access. The owner or operator must restrict the presence of, and minimize the possibility for, any unauthorized entry onto the facility. Any person entering the facility during regular business hours must be directed to report to the facility office by appropriate signs located at facility entrances and other locations in sufficient number to be seen from any approach to the facility. In the case of facilities allowing local residents to bring in materials, a designated area to do so must be provided in order to minimize potential accidents and unauthorized entry. (d) Reporting and recordkeeping. In addition to the requirements of subdivisions 360-1.4(c) and 360-1.14(1) of this Part, the facility owner or operator must: (1) Prepare and file an annual report, in accordance with paragraph 360-1.8(h)(8) of this Part. Page 10 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 (2) For facilities identified in paragraph 360-12.1(d)(1) of this Subpart, the owner or operator must maintain daily records for facility monitoring. This monitoring information must include a daily log specifying the date, signature of the individual recording the information, the quantity and destination of recyclables sent from the facility by major material category, and the quantity and destination of residue and solid waste sent from the facility for disposal. These records must account for all materials handled at the facility. If the facility is otherwise exempt under Subpart 360-11 of this Part, the daily records for facility monitoring shall only include the quantity and destination of recyclables sent from the facility by major material category. (3) Municipalities which own or operate more than one recyclables handling and recovery facility, may combine the information required for each facility into a single report or submit this information to the department as part of the compliance report as stipulated within Subpart 360-15 of this Part, provided the municipality identifies each recyclables handling and recovery facility included in the combined information. In addition to the requirements delineated in Part 360-12, Part 360-1.14 also contains a number of requirements applicable to all solid waste management facilities, as follows: (b) Water. (1) Solid waste must not be deposited in, and must be prevented from, entering surface waters or groundwa rs. (2) Leachate. All solid waste management facilities must be constructed, operated and closed in a manner that minimizes the generation of leachate that must be disposed of and prevent the migration of leachate into surface and groundwaters. Leachate must not be allowed to drain or discharge into surface water except pursuant to a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and must not cause or contribute to contravention of groundwater quality standards established by the department pursuant to ECL section 17-0301. (d) Control of access. Access to and use of the facility must be strictly and continuously controlled by fencing, gates, signs, natural barriers or other suitable means. (e) Control program for unauthorized waste. (1) The facility owner or operator must institute a control program (including measures such as signs at all maintained access points indicating hours of operation and the types of solid waste accepted and not accepted, monitoring, alternate collection programs, passage of local laws, etc.) to assure that only solid waste authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility is being treated, disposed of or transferred at that facility. The facility owner or operator must develop and implement a program to teach the facility's staff to recognize, remove and report receipt of solid waste not authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility. Page 11 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 (2) If solid waste not authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility is observed in the solid waste at the facility or delivered to the facility, the facility owner or operator may refuse to accept the waste. If the owner or operator accepts the waste, the owner or operator must remove it, segregate it, and provide to the department a record identifying that waste and its final disposition. The department must be notified of each incident in the annual report and records of each incident must be available for department review. Any unauthorized waste accepted by the facility owner or operator must be managed in accordance with applicable federal or State laws and regulations. (3) Solid waste not authorized by the department to be treated, disposed of or transferred at the facility that is segregated must be adequately secured and contained to prevent leakage or contamination of the environment. The facility owner or operator must cause it to be removed as soon as practicable, but not to exceed 90 days after discovery, by a person authorized to transport such waste to a facility approved to receive it for treatment, disposal or transfer. (i) Recordkeeping. (1) The facility owner or operator must retain records of all unauthorized solid waste accepted identifying the waste and its final disposition. Such records must be summarized in the annual report. They must include the date solid waste was received, the type of solid waste received, the date of disposal, the disposal method and location. (2) The facility owner or operator must record self inspections as required by paragraph 360-1.14(f)(3) of this Subpart in an inspection log. These records must be retained for at least seven years from the date of inspection. They must include the date and time of the inspection, the name of the inspector, a description of the inspection including the identity of specific equipment and structures inspected, the observations recorded, and the date and nature of any remedial actions implemented or repairs made as a result of the inspection. (3) Except as otherwise specified in this Part pertaining to a specific type of solid waste management facility, the facility owner or operator must keep records of all data used to develop or support the permit applications and any supplemental information submitted to comply with the requirements of this Part and pertaining to construction of the facility throughout the active life of the facility and the post -closure period. Records pertaining to the operation of the solid waste facility must be kept for a period of no less than seven years from the date they are made or are required to be made, whichever is later. (4) The facility owner or operator must retain records of all monitoring information (including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation; and copies of all reports required by, or by a permit issued under, this Part) for a period of at least seven years from the date of the sample analysis, measurement, report or application. Existing water quality records must be kept throughout the active life of the facility and the post -closure period. Records for monitoring information must include: the date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; the name of the individual who performed the sampling and Page 12 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 measurement; the date analyses were performed; the name of the individual who performed the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the result of such analyses. Additional information relating to the analysis, including records of internal laboratory quality assurance and control, must be made available to the department at its request. (j) Confinement of solid waste. Blowing litter must be confined to solid waste holding and operating areas by fencing or other suitable means. Solid waste must be confined to an area that can be effectively maintained, operated and controlled. Solid waste must not be accepted at a solid waste management facility unless the waste is adequately covered or confined in the vehicle transporting the waste to prevent dust, and blowing litter. (k) Dust control. Dust must be effectively controlled so that it does not constitute a nuisance or hazard to health, safety, or property. The facility owner or operator must undertake any and all measures as required by the department to maintain and control dust at and emanating from the facility. (1) Vector control. The facility must be maintained so as to prevent or control on-site populations of vectors using techniques appropriate for protection of human health and the environment and prevent the facility from being a vector breeding area. (m) Odor control. Odors must be effectively controlled so that they do not constitute nuisances or hazards to health, safety or property. (p) Noise levels. Noise levels resulting from equipment or operations at the facility must be controlled to prevent transmission of sound levels beyond the property line at locations zoned or otherwise authorized for residential purposes to exceed the following Leq energy equivalent sound levels: Character of Leq Energy Equivalent Sound Levels Community 7 a.m.-10 p.m. 10 p.m. -7 a.m. Rural 57 decibels (A) 47 decibels (A) Suburban 62 decibels (A) 52 decibels (A) Urban 67 decibels (A) 57 decibels (A) The Leq is the equivalent steady-state sound level which contains the same acoustic energy as the time varying sound level during a one-hour period. It is not necessary that the measurements be taken over a full one-hour time interval, but sufficient measurements must be available to allow a valid extrapolation to a one-hour time interval. (1) If the background residual sound level (excluding any contributions from the solid waste management facility) exceeds these limits, the facility must not produce an Leq exceeding that background. Page 13 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 (2) The sound level must be the weighted sound pressure level measured with the slow metering characteristic and A -weighted. (3) Measuring instruments must be Type 1 general purpose sound level meters, Type 2, or corresponding special sound level meters Type S 1 A or S2A. (4) Mufflers are required on all internal combustion -powered equipment used at the facility. Sound levels for such equipment must not exceed 80 decibels (A) at a distance of 50 feet from the operating equipment. (r) Department -approved facilities. Solid waste resulting from industrial or commercial operations, sludge, and septage must be processed, disposed, used or otherwise managed only at facilities that the department has specifically approved for such management of that specific waste. (s) Emergency numbers. Telephone numbers to emergency response agencies such as the local police department, fire department, ambulance and hospital must be conspicuously posted in all areas where telephones are available for use at the facility. (w) Closure. The owner or operator of any active or inactive solid waste management facility must, upon termination of use, properly close that facility and must monitor and maintain such closure so as to minimize the need for further maintenance or corrective actions and to prevent or remedy adverse environmental or health impacts such as, but not limited to, contravention of surface .rater and g-oun-1.. ate v—. ,_ .,,, b.., .. W uL. qua��Ly staiiunrus, gas migration, odors and vectors. Termination of use includes those situations where a facility has not received solid waste for more than one year, unless otherwise provided by permit, or if the permit has expired. Termination of use also results from permit denial or order of the commissioner or of a court. Specific closure measures which may also include corrective actions as specified in this Part are subject to approval by the department. As noted, the regulations themselves incorporate inherent mitigation. A facility operating in conformance with these regulations is presumed to have a minimal impact on public health, safety and welfare, as well as minimal impact on the environment. Due to the nature of the operation of a recycling facility, the NYSDEC will review all registration materials submitted and may either issue the registration, impose appropriate conditions or require further information. The NYSDEC may use the information contained in this report and determine consistency of any future actions with the facility design parameters and analysis contained herein. Should there be one or more potentially significant environmental impacts, require an environmental impact statement under SEQRA, as the NYSDEC is responsible to complete- SEQRA for any such actions. With respect to various environmental resource categories, a matrix has been prepared to identify each resource area and the permit, design, and/or operational factors that will ensure that no significant environmental impact will occur. Table 1 provides an analysis of those features of the permit process and/or permit requirements which mitigate potential impacts of the facility operation.

The proposed facility expansion does not require significant clearing or grading; as Geological Resources the site is presently in a municipal solid waste management use, it displays flat topography and has no significant soil limitations; high permeability soils requiring groundwater monitoring under Part 360 are not present. The proposed project will not impact wetlands or flood plains, as none are present; Water Resources groundwater is approximately 35 feet beneath the facility, therefore no impact is anticipated, as the minimum allowed clearance is within 24" of the surface. Dust is not anticipated to be raised due to installation of paved surfaces and Air Resources location of majority of operations indoors; solid wastes will be removed frequently, minimizing potential build-up of odor -causing materials. No wetlands or surface water bodies present or tributary to site; site is not Ecological Resources naturally -vegetated; entire 78± -acre property is a Town landfill, so no ecological value attached to this property; site is in an industrialized area. Existing recycling facility uses same access as landfill; CR 48 is a 4 -lane divided highway; site is within an industrialized area; suitable interior paved roads will be Transportation created; no cionificant ,.h ges iii talc vobaiae -w—iii occur; co3nmerciai trucks and Resources private vehicles will utilize new access off Cox Lane, reducing use of CR 48 and increasing level of traffic safety; intersection of CR 48 at Cox Lane is provided with turning lanes; vehicles approaching on CR 48 will only utilize a 780 foot section of Cox Lane. There are no residences within 300 feet of the proposed building; the site and area Land Use, Zoning are zoned industrial and are predominantly in industrial or complementary uses; the and Plans Town landfill lies immediately to the west; the proposed use will incorporate landscaped buffers; use will be internalized within overall Town landfill site. All recycling activities will be conducted within the interior of the site; minimum Community 300 -foot buffer from nearest residence will be maintained; the site is in an Character industrialized area; separate access for residential drop-offs will be created; landscaping will be used to enhance buffers; no changes in existing aesthetics or visual character of site are expected; noise wall to be erected along residential area. The NYSDEC may impose such other requirements as may be required to ensure Other Potential protection under Part 360; all actions are subject to SEQRA, which requires a Impacts finding of no significant impact or the preparation of an environmental impact statement. Page 15 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 5.0 SPECIFIC ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS Those impacts that were identified in Section 2.0 as having a potential for small to moderate environmental impact, and impacts which require further discussion, are evaluated in more detail below. 5.1 Land Resources The proposed recycling facility would occupy an estimated 6.4 acres of this overall 78± -acre Town landfill property (see Figure 3). It is proposed to expand the existing 4,800 SF recycling operations building to 19,220 SF. A smaller building (1,500 SF) will be built for use as a Re - Use Center. Additional areas totaling approximately 2.7 acres will be paved roadway surfaces, parking, and loading/unloading areas; an area will also be set aside for the truck scale house and weighing ramp. The remainder of the project site (3.2± acres) will be landscaped surfaces, to buffer the adjacent residential and commercial area to the east. As this portion of the overall property is presently used for recycling operations, no significant amount of grading or clearing is required. As a result, no impacts to land resources are anticipated. 5.2 Aesthetics Overall, the site will -be made more functional through the proposed improvements, while also enhancing aesthetics through design, buffers, landscaping and noise attenuation (see Figure 3). The proposed project would expand the existing Town recycling building, and expand the existing recycling operation on the property. It is not intended to locate a new land use on the site or on a portion of the site not previously used for this operation. As a result, the proposed project would not introduce a new type or level of impact to any potential receptor (of prime concern in this regard is the small residential development abutting the project site's southeastern border). Because of the proposed use of landscaped buffers and a 12 -foot high noise wall between the building and residences, it is expected that noise impacts would be reduced from present conditions. In addition, the wall will also screen the building and associated operations from visual impact to these residences. Installation of the access corridor to Cox Lane for all traffic (other than employees) will reduce the amount and intensity of truck traffic (and associated noise, dust, engine emissions) to which these residents are exposed. The building will be expanded in the direction away from these residences, so that the existing setback will not be reduced. The height of the structure will not be increased, so that the building, after expansion, will not present any increase in visual impact to these residents, even absent the noise wall and landscaping. For observers on CR 48, the recycling building will likewise not increase the existing level of intrusion into sight lines, as there are a number of structures off-site along CR 48 which will continue to not only dominate this view corridor, but Page 16 FIGURE 3 COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING COLLECTION FACILITY -Vicinity Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 Source: Southold Landfill, L. K. McLean Scale: Not to Scale Nage 17 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 will also continue to screen the recycling building. Finally, the ongoing landfill capping operation will only increase the level of visual/aesthetic mitigation, by planting vegetation on the slopes of what had previously been an unattractive, unvegetated landfill. The nature of a municipal recycling operation, which involves machinery and is dependent on trucks for transportation of raw materials and product, may produce increased noise levels. Part 360-1.14(p), whose regulations would apply to such a facility, includes limitations on noise audible "... at locations zoned or otherwise authorized for residential purposes to exceed the following Leq energy equivalent sound levels ". That table (see Section 4.0), indicates that, for a rural area, the maximum allowable level of noise generated by a solid waste management site (and monitored at the property line abutting the receptor) may not exceed 57 decibels (dB(A)) between the hours of 7 AM and 10 PM, and 47 dB(A) between 10 PM and 7 AM. As the recycling facility will utilize a building for the' majority of truck loading/unloading operations, and the site will only be open and operating during the hours of 7AM and 5PM, it is not anticipated that the 57 -decibel noise limit would be exceeded, particularly as the project includes installation of a noise wall abutting the adjacent residences, and the access point has been relocated distant from these receptors. As the landfill is closed and is being capped (an operation which is expected to be completed by May 31, 2003), the major source of noise in the immediate area would become road noise from traffic on CR 48, a major four -lane regional artery. The proposed facility is located within an area that is zoned industrial, and is bordered by the Town landfill to the west. The nearest residential land use is immediately southeast of the project site, and is presently zoned industrial. There are an estimated 6 residences and a Baptist church in this area (Attachment 3, photos 13-19). The residential structures are a pre-existing, non -conforming use in an industrial zone. This area is currently under study by the Town to explore land use options in this long-standing residential, use area that is zoned industrial and has been in proximity to landfill activities over an extended period of time. However, the existing recycling building lies approximately 300 feet from the nearest residence, a distance which would not be reduced after this building is expanded, and the intensity of operations will also be reduced due to a change in the truck access which will discontinue direct access from CR 48 in favor of new access to Cox Lane to the east. Landscaping and noise wall installation will only improve the current conditions for this residential area. 5.3 Transportation It is noted that the project site is presently in use as a recycling collection facility; the proposed project would expand and improve these operations. As such, a certain level of traffic (both trucks and private vehicles) has evolved commensurate with this operation, a level which is not anticipated to -increase as a result of the proposed project. However, the access point on CR 48 will be discontinued by installation of a separate entrance/exit for trucks and private vehicles (off Cox Lane). Truck traffic and residential drop-off vehicles utilizing the CR 48 entrance/exit will be eliminated; this access would be utilized only by employees. The new entrance on Cox Lane will provide all access for commercial and residential traffic; a 780 -foot section of Cox Lane north of CR 48 will experience an increase in usage. However, as the intersection of Cox Page 18 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 Lane/CR 48 is provided with turning lanes and a traffic light, it is not anticipated that there will be a significant impact to traffic flow at this intersection. As a result, overall traffic conditions are expected to be improved with the proposed project. It is noted that CR 48 is a 4 -lane divided County highway that is generally underutilized in this area, and therefore is expected to continue to be able to accommodate traffic for this use. Furthermore, CR 48 currently handles all solid waste facility traffic at the existing entrance. As a result, no significant traffic impacts are expected as a result of this project. 5.4 Community Character The proposed use is not out of character with that of the community. First of all, the community character is dominated by the Town landfill and associated operations that have historically existed at this location. The proposed project conforms to this land use type. The project site is in an area zoned for industrial use (see Figure 4 and Attachment 3, photos 20-25), and lies: • north of an approved industrial subdivision, • east of the landfill, • south of an asphalt plant, and • west of a commercial and light industrial area, and a County highway. A residential subdivision and church abut the project site, to the southeast (see Figure 5). However, the proposed project will provide not only a significant amount of landscaping between the building and residences (to mitigate potential aesthetic impacts of the facility and capped landfill), but will also include a 12 -foot high noise wall to mitigate potential noise impacts of the recycling facility and the landfill capping operation, and will relocate the truck access point to Cox Lane, distant from these residences. It should be recognized that, as the site is zoned for industrial use and has been utilized as such, it would not be practicable from a land use perspective to reuse this site for other, non -industrial uses; the presence of the landfill, even after it has been capped, would preclude the use of this 78± -acre property for other non -municipal uses. In addition, as the uses to which this site has long been put (municipal landfill and recycling) are both necessary and appropriately -located together on this site, it would not be economically efficient or prudent to now remove the recycling operation from a site where this operation is well-established. As a result, the proposed use, which involves continued municipal recycling operations, with a noise wall, setbacks and landscaped buffers, a relocated vehicle access, and retaining interior access from the existing landfill site, would modify the operation and improve community character.

Page 22 Southold Solid Waste Management District Commercial and Residential Recycling Collection Facility EAF Part 3 7.0 CONCLUSIONS Potential environmental impacts of the proposed recycling collection facility are evaluated in this EAF Part 3. The evaluation considers general impacts and specific analysis of the operations of the facility in consideration of pertinent environmental resources specific to the site. Potential areas of concern are discussed in detail, and the potential impacts and available mitigation measures have been investigated. This investigation was used to determine the importance of the impacts based on the criteria included in the format for an EAF Part 3. The criteria are as follows: • Probability of the impact occurring, • The duration of the impact, • Its irreversibility, including permanently lost resources of value, • Whether the impact can or will be controlled, • The regional consequence of the impact, • The potential divergence from local needs and goals, • Whether known objections to the project relate to this impact. The environmental review process is a balancing process. The proposed project is in conformance with land uses in the area of the site, and is a project that incorporates sensitive environmental design. It is also noted that the project site is zoned industrial and has been historically used for the purposes of landfill and municipal solid waste management. The action and its potential impacts will be localized, and no regional impacts are expected, with the exception of Town -wide benefits of maintaining, improving and expanding the existing recycling facilities of the Town. Mitigation is inherent in adherence to the applicable design parameters and the regulations that would pertain to this use. Based on the evaluation contained herein, it is concluded that there are no significant adverse environmental impacts anticipated as a result of the proposed use of the subject parcel. Impacts are either not significant or are adequately mitigated as a result of site conditions and conformance with applicable regulations and requirements. This document fulfills SEQRA requirements for completing an environmental evaluation using Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the NYS Environmental Assessment Form, and allows the lead agency to take a "hard look" at the potential impacts of a project, to reach an informed decision.

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 unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have lrnowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concern affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determinationrocess has been orderly; comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to 7fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The frill 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 potentially -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. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE - TYPE 1 AND UNLISTED ACTIONS Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project. X Part 1 X Part 2 X Part 3 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: _A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on tie environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. _B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a Si gnificant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.* _C. 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 Commercial and Residential Recyclina Collection Facility Name of Action Town Board of Southold. as Governing Bodv of the Southold Solid Waste Management District Name of Lead Agency Joshua Horton Town Supervisor Print or Type Name of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Date Signature of Preparer If different from responsible officer) 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.

The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. ,9� Identifying that an effect 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. By identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. 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 rating. Each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples 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. Instructions (Read carefully) a. Answer each of the 19 questions in PART 2.
