Beale, Christopher Phillips, Al Casella ABSENT: Angela Bettina Dated: Wappingers Falls, New York 6/10/2024 The Resolution is hereby duly declared Adopted. Exhibit A Town of Wappinger Dutchess County, New York Mid -Point Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements State Environmental Quality Review NEGATIVE DECLARATION Notice of Determination of Non -Significance Date: JUNE 10, 2024 This notice is issued pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, Article 8 of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing regulations at Part 617 of the New York State Code of Rules and Regulations (collectively referred to as "SEQRA"). The Town of Wappinger Town Board, as the Lead Agency under SEQRA, has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a significant adverse environmental impact and a draft environmental impact statement will not be prepared. Name of Action: Mid -Point Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project Applicant(s): Town of Wappinger SEQR Status: Unlisted Description of Action: The Mid -Point Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located at 63 Martin Drive, serves approximately 150 single-family units in a residential development. It was constructed nearly 50 years ago and is nearing the end of its useful life. A recent modification to the SPDES permit for the facility proposes lower ammonia and dissolved oxygen limits and will make it difficult for the existing facility to consistently meet the proposed permit conditions. In addition, average daily flows into the plant (100,000 gpd) exceed the current SPDES permit limit of 66,000 gallons per day. (SPDES permit number NY0035637) The project seeks to take corrective actions to reduce ammonia and oxygen levels by improving the treatment system in several phases. Phase I of the sewer system rehabilitation prioritizes addressing leaking laterals and joint leakage/collapses to minimize flows to the WWTP. Phase 2 will replace the Mid -Point WWTP system with a new Membrane Bio -Reactor (MBR) style activated sludge treatment system. The project will require 0.20 acres of disturbance to install or repair existing equipment and the site cover will be restored once the project is completed. Location: The project involves the existing sewer lines of the Mid -Point Sewer District and the wastewater treatment facility located at 63 Martin Drive in the Town of Wappinger. Page 1 of 5 SEQRA Procedural Background: The Town Board has identified the action as Unlisted under SEQRA based on its review of the thresholds set forth in 6 NYCRR §§ 617.4 and 617.5. by resolution on May 6, 2024. The Town Board is the designated lead agency as a result of a coordinated review with other involved agencies. The involved agencies for this project to which notices were sent include: • New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) • Dutchess County Department of Health • New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) • New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) • New York State Department of Environmental Conservation - Permitting (NYSDEC) • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region II • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — Federal Activities (EPA) • U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service • Delaware Nation • Delaware Tribe • Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohicans Community • New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC) Reasons Supporting this Determination: The SEQRA regulations provide that "[f]or all Type I and Unlisted actions the lead agency making a determination of significance must: (1) consider the action as defined [under SEQRA]; (2) review the EAF, the criteria contained in subdivision (c) of this section and any other supporting information to identify the relevant areas of environmental concern; (3) thoroughly analyze the identified relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment; (4) set forth its determination of significance in a written form containing a reasoned elaboration and providing reference to any supporting documentation." 6 NYCRR § 617.7(b). The SEQRA regulations further provide that "to determine whether a proposed Type I or Unlisted action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment, the impacts that may be reasonably expected to result from the proposed action must be compared against the criteria in this subdivision [6 NYCRR 617.7]." 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c). Each criterion is discussed in more detail below. For the reasons discussed below, the Town Board concludes that the project will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts. a. Agricultural Resources Agricultural uses do not exist in the project area therefore the proposed improvements will not have any significant adverse impact on agricultural resources. b. Aesthetics Although newly installed equipment will be slightly larger than the existing treatment facility, the basic components and visibility of the proposed plant are essentially the same as the existing facility. Therefore, proposal will not have an adverse impact upon the aesthetics of the area. Page 2 of 5 C. Noise and Odor Any noise generated from the proposed action will be temporary and result from the use of construction equipment. Once the construction phase is completed, Ambient noise levels in and around the project location are not expected to increase. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts upon odor levels as a result of this project. d. Stormwater Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be employed during construction as required by New York State to avoid potentially adverse impacts from stormwater runoff. In general, the existing surfaces disturbed by construction will be restored to their pre-existing condition, however any increase in runoff will be mitigated as part of the stormwater management plan to be prepared for the project. Because potential adverse impacts from stormwater runoff will be avoided through the proper design and implementation of a SWPPP and stormwater control measures, no significant adverse impacts are expected. e. Wetlands, Streams, and Other Water Bodies The site is located within a 100 -year floodplain and within 100 feet of a wetland and stream that is used for discharge of treated wastewater under an existing SPDES permit. Improvements completed by the proposed project will improve the quality of permitted discharge and reduce the amount of discharge and correct a SPDES violation. In addition, the SWPPP for the project will include protection of nearby water resources from sediment caused by erosion during storm events. Adverse impacts from the proposed project will be mitigated to the most practicable extent, and no significant adverse impacts to wetlands, streams or other water bodies are expected as a result of implementing this project. f. Archaeological and Historic Resources The Town consulted with the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in regard to whether the project will impair the character or quality of important archeological or historic resources. The SHPO has indicated that there are no historic properties, including archaeological and/or historic resources, affected by this undertaking. Based on the foregoing, the project will not have any significant adverse impacts on archeological or historical resources. g. Traffic The proposed project does not generate traffic. There will be a slight increase due to construction activities, however the project is located on the end of a dead-end street, and as such will not have any significant adverse impacts on local traffic patterns. h. Community Character The project will not create any significant adverse impacts on community character. The project is a replacement of components to upgrade an existing wastewater treatment plant, which are not significantly different from the existing components. i. Wildlife The proposed project is located in a suburban area and will not have any significant adverse impacts on most local wildlife, however, endangered species registries maintained by NYS DEC indicated that Indiana Bats may be roosting in the area. Prior to construction, an assessment to determine the impact on roosting bats will be undertaken, or trees within the construction site that meet the criteria for roosting bats will be removed between October and March, to avoid disturbance of summer roosts. j. Public Safety Public safety concerns are not implicated by the project. The project will not entail: (1) the storage of large quantities of hazardous material or flammable or explosive materials; (2) the burial of hazardous wastes; (3) Page 3 of 5 excavation or disturbance near a site used for the disposal of solid or hazardous waste; or (4) a chronic low-level discharge or emission of hazardous materials. Based on the foregoing reasons, the project will not create any significant adverse impact to public safety. k. Air Quality The project will not affect air quality. a. The operation of the Wastewater Treatment Plant will not result in the emission of air pollutants with the potential to harm human health or the environment. b. Because there will be no significant adverse traffic impacts, no significant impact on air quality from queued vehicles is expected. c. The project will not involve incineration of refuse, will not increase the amount of land committed to industrial use, and will not increase in the density of industrial development in an existing industrial area. Therefore, there will be no significant adverse impact on air quality. d. During construction of the proposed site plan improvements and reclamation plan improvements, construction vehicles will be equipped with factory installed muffler and emission control devices. Dust from construction will be suppressed as necessary. Based on the foregoing, the project will not have any significant adverse impacts on air quality in the area or the region. 1. Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers There are no nationally or State designated wild, scenic or recreational rivers in the project area. As a result, there will be no significant adverse impacts to these resources from the project. In. Ground Water No significant adverse impacts to groundwater quantity or quality will occur from the proposed project. The project is not generating any runoff or discharges to groundwater; nor increasing water withdrawals. n. Loss of Soil, Vegetation and Other Natural Material The project will not result in any significant loss of soil, vegetation, and other natural materials. Construction of the improvements will be mostly in areas on the property currently used for the Sewer Treatment Facility Equipment and within the public rights-of-way. o. Solid Waste Production The project will not result in an increase in solid waste production, with the exception of construction debris, which will be disposed of at a licensed facility. P. Flood Plains The proposed improvements are to be constructed outside the bounds of the adjacent flood plain and therefore will not have any significant adverse impacts on flood plains. q. Public Health The project will not create any significant adverse public health impacts. The purpose of the project is to enhance public health through improved treatment of wastewater treatment and reduction of flows through the elimination of leaks in the system. r. Induced Growth The project is not increasing the capacity of the sewage treatment; however, it will improve the quality of the existing treated wastewater and reduce the quantity by reducing infiltration in the system. Page 4 of 5 S. Demand on Services The proposed project will not create new demands on public services for sewer treatment, and is intended to address current demand for effective sewer service and increase the efficiency of the Mid -Point Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based on the foregoing, the project will not create any significant adverse impacts on services. t. Community Plans The project is the upgrade to the existing wastewater treatment facility and as such does not create a material conflict with the Town's current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted. This project is essential to Town residents, and improvements in the basic necessity of public wastewater treatment serving existing residents. U. Cumulative Impacts No significant adverse cumulative impacts are expected from this action. The project will not significantly induce growth in the Town or otherwise change the character of the surrounding property. As required by SEQRA, the Board considered reasonably related long-term, short-term, direct, indirect and cumulative impacts including other simultaneous or subsequent actions which are: (1) included in any long-range plan of which the project is a part; (2) likely to be undertaken as a result of the project or (3) dependent on the project. No such actions were identified. Based on the foregoing, the project will not create any significant adverse cumulative impacts. V. Conclusion For all of the reasons set forth above, the project, as described above, will not have any significant adverse impact on the environment and, therefore, the issuance of this negative declaration is warranted.

Wappinger Falls Sewer Treatment Upgral Date : June 10, 2024 1 Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur." • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub -questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action". • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination. To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets, as needed. See Exhibit A attached hereto.

This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued- E3 B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency: There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617.7(d)). ❑ C. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those impacts.

Wappinger Falls Sewer Treatment Up Date: June 1 Q 2024 Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur." • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub -questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action". • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets, as needed. See Exhibit A attached hereto.

This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued. ❑ B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency: There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617.7(d)). ❑ C. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those impacts.
