The HealthNow facility PILOT agreement and related agreements allow for PILOT payments over and above the amounts typically paid to the City under a standard PILOT agreement to be directed by ECIDA towards repayment of the HealthNow facility project redevelopment debt. The City has continued to receive the HealthNow facility PILOT payments typically payable to the City under standard PILOT arrangements. HealthNow has advised that HealthNow wishes to Sub-Sublease to the Buffalo Niagara Partnership Inc. ("BNP") approximately 13,920 sq. ft. of space within the HealthNow project (the "BNP Space"), representing approximately 1.45% of the total square footage of the HealthNow project. This proposed sub-subletting arrangement will result in a small increase in PILOT payments being made to the City of Buffalo estimated at approximately$14,000 per year resulting in the City's receipt of roughly $98,000 in additional tax revenues based on current assessments and tax rates. In order to properly effectuate the BNP relocation and the corresponding appropriate adjustments to the PILOT arrangements at the HealthNow facility, it will be necessary for the City to execute a Second I Amendment to PILOT Application Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto. I Accordingly, the Office of Strategic Planning requests your Honorable Body to: i 1.

" The Comptroller's responsibilities in the City's capital planning process include "advising as to 1 the maximum amount of capital debt that the city may prudently incur" in the Comptroller's Estimate and Report,per Section 20-21 of the City Charter, as well as issuing this report, required by the Charter section above. In accordance with the City's Debt Policy,the Comptroller's Estimate and Report recommended a a$21,300,000 capital budget for 2016. However, since $3,834,053 in 2016 projects were authorized in 2015 (per a request from the administration),the report stated that$17,465,947 would be available for new authorizations. Upon close examination of the documents included in the Mayor's 2016 Capital Budget Recommendations, it appears that$33,985,132 in authorizations for new projects has been recommended. This includes $20,646,877 to be authorized and issued in 2016, $9,762,275 to be authorized in 2016 but unissued until a later date, and $3,575,980 in PILOT Increment Financing (PIF)to be authorized and issued in 2016. The $33,985,132 in new authorizations is a startling $16,519,185 more than was recommended in the Comptroller's Estimate and Report. While this office agreed that the $3,575,980 in PIF projects would not count against the cap (because of the revenue generated to offset the debt burden),that still leaves new authorizations $12,943,205 more than was recommended in the Comptroller's Estimate and Report. If the intent of the administration is to deduct that$12,943,205 from the 2017 budget, that would only leave approximately $7,856,795 for new authorizations in 2017. However, since there is no deduction in 2017 or any year of the four-year capital plan, it appears there is no accounting of the additional $12,943,205 whatsoever. This is disappointing and irresponsible. As we made clear in the Comptroller's Estimate and Report, all three major credit rating { agencies still view the City's debt burden as too high. In order to maintain the City's bond ratings and ensure fiscal health, a prudent approach to capital borrowing is paramount, both in { determining the amount of debt to authorize, as well as how much debt to issue. We urge the Common Council to adopt a prudent 2016 Capital Budget and 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan—one that clearly outlines what is to be authorized in 2016 and one that accounts for any additional authorizations with corresponding deductions in 2017-2020. (, While this office has no authority over what is authorized, we will ultimately decide how much debt is issued in a given year. We will continue to adhere to our policy of issuing less debt than we retire, regardless of how much debt is authorized. Furthermore, any authorizations in excess of what we have recommended will be ineligible for the purpose of interfund loans. I DEPARTMENT HEAD: Mark J. F. Schroeder a TITLE: Comptroller SIGNATURE: Gt1�J i j i a REFERRED T 'SHE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE 1 1 (Rev. 1/93) SINGLE PAGE COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMON COUNCIL i TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL DATE: November 19, 2015 FROM: DEPARTMENT: Audit& Control i a DIVISION: Comptroller SUBJECT: 2015 - 2016 First Quarter Gap Sheets Report As required by the City Charter, we have reviewed the 2015 - 2016 First Quarter Gap Sheets Report (Gap Report),which was prepared and submitted by the administration,and are filing our review and summation. The anticipated timing of certain receipts and expenditures for the last three quarters of this fiscal year is unknown to our fiscal office. Therefore, past transactions were utilized to review the reasonableness of the projects as established by the administration. Unusual and non-recurring items were considered in this calculation and adjustments were made accordingly. The administration's Gap Report projects a$3 million surplus for the current year ending June 30, 2016, based on actual results through September 30, 2015, and projections for the period October 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This office's financial review of the year-end projection varies from that of the administration. As we noted in our past two Budget Responses, there continues to be unreliability in several significant sources of revenue. -_ Both the inclusion of some revenue sources that may not be available,as well as the amount of revenue that will be relied upon from other sources, appear to be overly optimistic. The administration has acknowledged that it expects to fall short materially on several revenue items. This department agrees that those items appear over- budgeted and may even come in lower than what the administration is currently identifying. Projected material revenues in the following areas remain questionable: • Traffic Violation Revenue • Sale of Land Revenue • Sales Tax Revenue This potential overestimation of revenues could result in an even greater amount of fund balance reserves being needed than already budgeted. It should be noted that expenses are tracking under budget, and if this trend continues, it may help to offset the -- questionable revenue projections. We understand that historical trends,though useful in performing a reasonableness test,may not necessarily be a fair prediction of what may occur in the next nine months, especially given the relatively short time frame being considered(three months). Also, as our office is not a part of City-wide management decisions, we may not be. aware of all anticipated changes to staffing and operations during the remainder of the fiscal year. Our office will be performing a more detailed analysis of the 2`d Quarter Gap Sheets report. i ' Department Head Name: Mark J.F.

It has become extremely difficult to continue delivering our level of service that is well known for efficiency, safety and reliability, given our current number of Livery vehicles. From senior citizens requiring transport to their medical appointments to workers attempting to get to work and home,our capacity is stretched further than it has ever been. This situation can be remedied by increasing Livery permits. There is an immediate need for at least an additional 100 permits given the current demand. We would appreciate the opportunity to address the following items with you as soon as possible so that we can secure the resources needed to solve this situation: ® Increase Livery permits by another 100. ® Allow taxi cab companies the ability to employ duly-licensed New York State drivers regardless of what county they are residents of. These actions will quickly result in more efficient transportation services to the customers in Buffalo and throughout Western New York and will also provide additional revenue(permits)to the City of Buffalo. It is not only a responsible,timely and necessary action for this region,it is a win-win for all. I I look forward to hearing from you.Thank you for all you're doing for all of us.

The potential benefits for the City of Buffalo and its residents could be significant. However, it requires much due diligence, since this would obviously be a very large and complex undertaking. The first step in moving forward on such a significant project would be to hire a qualified consultant to conduct a broadband feasibility study to determine the cost and technical aspects of building out municipal broadband services, as well as to ascertain what services the community would like to see. If this Honorable Body wishes to pursue this idea, I would recommend that it fund a study which would fully examine the various -financial, regulatory, technical construction and other issues involved with the establishment of a municipal broadband network in New York State, and provide a blueprint for the City to follow. x Department Head Name: Steven Stepniak Title: Commissioner of Public Works, Park Streets Signature of Department Head: REFERRED TO THE COreI I N COMi°WUNiTY DEVELOPMENT. 0 2 r1 ` /I'', #1 (Rev. 1/93) MULTI- PAGE COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMON COUNCIL 6�( TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL DATE: November 13, 2015 FROM: DEPARTMENT: Public Works, Parks and Streets DIVISION: Engineering SUBJECT: [: Encroachment in City Right-of-Way [: 905 Elmwood Avenue [: Delaware District PRIOR COUNCIL REFERENCE: (IF ANY) [: None I hereby submit to your Honorable Body the attached encroachment in City Right-of-Way request.

The USACE Buffalo's schedule includes award of the construction contract on or before September 30, 2015, with the first round of AIS control and management occurring in the fall of , 2015. General Project Summary This Project has been developed as part of the efforts associated with the delisting of Great Lakes Areas of Concern(AOCs) (Niagara River is an AOC) and to support ecosystem restoration projects where invasive species are of significant concern. This Project implements AIS control and management, constructs habitat restoration, and expands passage for fish and other aquatic species between the Niagara River and the inland waters of Unity Island. The Project targets four areas across the northern portion of Unity Island for AIS management and restoration and enhancement activities (see Figure 1). The Project has been specifically designed to increase area of native habitat and expand ecological functionality and values. On a broader scale,this Project will further the Beneficial Use Impairment(BUI)delisting process within the Niagara River Area of Concern (AOC). The planning,design, and construction of this project are funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Estimated cost for construction is $756,700. Project Details The Project includes: s 3 1 ■ Implementing AIS control and management across each of the identified riparian and emergent wetland habitat zones around the watercourse and ponds and within the ponds. j ■ Introducing container-grown woody, shrub, and herbaceous native plant species to augment seed mixes in disturbed soil across the invasive species control and management treatment areas. ■ Planting in-water submerged aquatic vegetation(SAV) in Middle Pond. ■ Installing in-water fish attraction structures within Middle Pond. 02:1003025.0024.05-4341 1 Unity Island AIS Project Summary for City of Buffalo.docx-8/24/2015 jo� ■ Planting in-channel SAV and installing fish attraction structures in South Pond. ■ Expanding riparian and wetland buffers. ■ Installing a pump station for water circulation between the North Pond to the South Pond and then downstream from the South Pond,through the watercourse, and into Middle Pond. The pump is designed to provide consistent water depths and flows conducive to fish passage between the surface waters within the Project Area. ■ Redesigning and replacing the culvert between North and Middle ponds for improved fish passage. ■ Creating conditions for low-flow fish passage between Middle Pond and South Pond through stream corridor modification and installation of box culverts (see Figure 1).

The control treatments to be employed include mechanical (cutting), chemical (herbicide applications), and collection and offsite disposal of cut AIS material. USACE Buffalo will monitor activities to document efficacy of treatments and evaluate need for adaptive management. 3 The AIS identified onsite and targeted for treatment include: ■ Common reed (Phragmites australis); i ■ Mugwort(Artemisia vulgaris); a ■ Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria); ■ Tree of heaven(Ailanthus altissima); ■ Common buckthorn(Rhamnus cathartica); and ■ Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). 02:1003025.0024.05-4341 2 Unity Island AIS Project Summary for City of Buffalo.docx-8/24/2015 a ' -,I lay The ISCMP anticipates control and management efforts over a three-year period, with the first year(Project Year 1, fall 2015) involving mechanical treatment followed by removal and disposal. Mature tree of heaven and common buckthorn will be cut and then immediately treated with herbicide using the"cut stump"method in Project Year las well. It is expected that there will be two rounds of chemical treatments in Project Years 2 and 3 and one round of mechanical treatment each year. Project monitoring and adaptive management will determine whether AIS spot treatments will continue into Year 4. Table 2 lists the herbicides, recommended surfactants, and the invasive species they will be used to treat.

(item No. xxx. C.C.P. xx/xx/xx) Attached is the First Q Gap 2015-2016. Due to the fact that it is still early in the fiscal year, our projections are conservative and close to budget. The year is projected to end with favorable results. Traffic Violations Agency began in July and has seen an increase every month. Year end projections have been reduced to reflect the lag in the start up time. Sale of capital assets are on pace, but the closing of each property has taken longer than anticipated: he year end projection reflects this. The projected sales tax revenunes are less than budget due to lower gasoline pricing, the low exchange rate between the US and Canada Pension and Health Care rates are trending below budget due to the reduced New York pension rates and our continued _ monitoring of Health Care plans.

Rivera RE: Common Council Proposed Resolution on Support for Safe Staffing for Quality Care Act dated Nov. 10, 2015 Directed toward support of- A.0 1548 f:A.01548 (Gottfried)—In Assembly Health Committee Same as S.00782 (Hannon)—In Senate Health Committee "Safe Staffing for Quality Care Act"Bill Legislation has been introduced(A.01548 and S.00782)that would impose minimum nurse-to- patient staffing ratios for health care providers across New York State. Mandated staffing ratios would not only impose a massive unfunded mandate, but are the wrong approach to staffing. They do not account for the unique patient population at each facility and the specific care teams that individual patients need. This bill would amend the Public Health Law to create specific staffing ratios for nurses and other direct-care staff in hospitals and nursing homes. This bill is a combination of two previously separate pieces of legislation that create nurse staffing ratios in hospitals and in nursing homes. The Western New York Healthcare Association (WNYHA) strongly opposes this legislation and urges the City of Buffalo Common Council not to support it. In Summary: • The latest peer-reviewed studies have found no direct link between mandated nurse staffing ratios and improved patient outcomes. • Patient outcomes are improved primarily through the implementation of evidence-based practices to standardize care. Every hospital and health system in the state continues to aggressively invest in and implement a variety of patient care improvement strategies, including those comprising the New York State Partnership for Patients initiative. I Beyond these critical and urgent fiscal issues,there are numerous other reasons why this bill should E not be passed. Why are mandated ratios a bad idea for hospitals and nursing homes? • Meeting the goal of quality patient care requires a complex system of checks and balances and cannot be achieved by imposing staffing ratios that do not account for the various and unique J o A February 2013 article in Medical Care Research and Review noted that"Higher registered nurse staffing per patient day had a limited impact on adverse events in California hospitals." The findings showed that of the six Patient Safety Indicators (PSIS)they reviewed, growth in registered nurse staffing was associated with improvement for only one and reduced length of stay for only one (Spetz et al., 2013). o Several articles indicate that the role of nursing care in improving patient outcomes is multidimensional; multiple structural and process factors are important(Spetz et al., 2013; Aiken et al., 2011;Needleman et al., 2009;Needleman et al., 2011). o Another study notes, "in order to assess the future viability of minimum nurse staffing policies, it is critical to understand all of the trade-offs hospitals face when increasing staff, and how these trade-offs affect the care that patients receive in hospitals." For example, in California, staffing ratios resulted in a decline in the number of additional care staff employed that support nurses in their duties or that enhance care by offering services in other specialized categories. What are the other provisions of this bill specific to hospitals? • This bill is quite onerous and creates various conditions to maintain an operating certificate. For example, a hospital must"at all times" staff in accordance with the staffing plan and this bill. Based on the experience in California, this provision meant that short breaks were part of the ratio mandate. Additionally, a hospital must maintain extensive records and statistics. • This bill would also require that staffing requirements, daily records, and statistics be posted and a available to the public. While this may sound simple on the surface, the information required by this bill would not provide the public with useful information for consumer decision-making because it does not recognize that managing a widely diverse range of patients is a function of both individual and aggregate patient needs, competencies of both clinical and non-clinical staff, and infrastructure. This bill, while specific in many regards, is also very confusing. It mandates specific ratios but then requires that hospitals invest in technology for acuity and assessment systems to evaluate nursing care requirements. It is quite possible that these systems will conflict with the proposed ratios. For example, an acuity system may suggest a ratio that is lower or higher than the prescribed number. What can policymakers do to help? Providing quality patient care is the top priority of WNYHA's members. New York is a center of quality improvement efforts that help health care providers identify priorities and implement, manage, and sustain quality improvement initiatives. New York hospitals and health care providers participate in numerous quality initiatives and targeted clinical education programs to help leverage evidence-based knowledge and provide high-quality patient care. These quality collaboration efforts and initiatives include efforts to reduce readmissions, infections, and hospital-acquired conditions, as well as improve patient safety and care for patients with diabetes. We ask the Legislature to resist the temptation of passing any legislation to impose staffing ratios. V./NYHA strongly believes that staffing ratios are an additional unfunded mandate that hospitals j and nursing homes will not be able to withstand.. For all of the reasons cited above, and more,WNYHA strongly opposes this proposed resolution. � mi''`l OAKIIOSP 4veslcrn N,•s vnrktuban IROQUOIS (� Healthcare Association -4NYON EL Healthcare Trustees ®'®® �cahhcare Amde8on \ ospltal rt.•rrn.•r.n„onmiun V of New York State „uR of New York State IANCE Quality Care is Our Mutual Goal Government-Mandated Staffing Ratios are the Wrong Approach Quality,patient-centered care is the number one priority of New York's hospitals and nursing homes.Maintaining appropriate staffing to meet each patient's unique needs is critical to achieving this goal.Nurses and other healthcare professionals are vital to the care of patients. Proposed legislation(A.8580 and A.1 548/S.782)would impose arbitrary staffing ratios and would not improve care quality. Instead,it would prevent experienced local healthcare professionals from making appropriate staffing deci- sions to meet patient needs,jeopardize patient access to care,and add$3 billion to the cost of care in New York. One Size Does Not Fit All—Flexibility is Critical • Staffing decisions should remain with local hospitals,nursing homes,and healthcare professionals. • Every patient is different,every nurse is different,and every day is different—no single number works in every situation. • Nursing assignments must be adapted to diverse patient/resident needs that can change rapidly. • Nurses have different levels of experience and knowledge,as do other members of the care team. l A one-size-fits-all approach jeopardizes patient care and could result,for example,in ambulance diversions, cancelled surgeries,and diminished flexibility to deploy staff as patient needs change. Research goes Not Support Ratios—Many Factors Impact Quality Outcomes • Only one state has mandated hospital-wide ratios:California. • Peer-reviewed studies find no direct link between a set,mandated statewide staffing ratio and improved patient outcomes. • The preparation and education of nurses,use of evidence-based patient care protocols,teamwork,and communication are critical to quality outcomes. Measures to Ensure Appropriate Staffing are Already in Place • Hospitals and nursing homes make information on patient safety and outcomes available to the public and report numerous quality measures to the government. 1 • Unannounced inspections make sure staffing is right for the needs of patients and residents. • Hospitals,nursing homes,and healthcare professionals put significant resources into improving patient care. Staffing Ratios Have Destructive Financial Impact • Staffing ratios would cost New York's hospitals and nursing homes about$3 billion annually. • The fiscal condition of New York's hospitals and nursing homes is among the worst in the nation. Five Recommendations to Support Nurses and Other Caregivers i Require future nurses obtain a B.S.in Nursing(BSN)within 10 years of initial licensure. I Provide scholarships and loan forgiveness;look at the needs of nursing schools. • Increase the use of evidence-based protocols to improve patient outcomes. • Ensure that registered nurses can work to the fullest extent of their education and preparation. • Reduce unnecessary documentation to free up time for patient care. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION. I ` i V 02 Dear Council Members, Buffalo boasts one of the strongest medical device manufacturing industry's in the country. Unfortunately the success of this industry is threatened by the recently imposed 2.3% medical device tax. Since the tax went into effect in 2013, the medical device industry was forced to slash 10,000 jobs and cut research &development budgets.Analysts project that the industry will continue to suffer, losing an additional 43,000 jobs.With employees in this industry earning on average$60,000 annually, this is simply unacceptable. i Our coalition, United 4 Innovation, represents a bipartisan group of patient advocates, health care providers, and leading voices in the disability community, support repealing the tax because of the harm it does to providing the highest level of care to patients, medical innovation, and job creation. Prominent members includes the Medical Imaging &Technology Alliance, American Association of Neurological Surgeons,AIDS Institute,the Alliance for Aging. On the elected side of things, New York State Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, Paul Tonko, and Brian Higgins support the legislation. Ultimately the ask here is to have your office send a letter of support to Senator Charles Schumer, urging him _ to back the repeal of this legislation.We are hoping for a vote on this legislation in the coming weeks, and as such are operating under a very tight timeline.Attached, for your consideration, is a template of the suggested sign-on letter which you can tailor as you see fit. Below, please find direct links to existing bills in the house and j senate. i Please let me know if you have any additional questions.Thank you for your time and consideration. Best, K.C. Boyle House Bill - H.R. 160-.LINK Senate Bill -S.149- LINK x u i a REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE 1 ON LEGISLATION. I i Medical Device Tax Reveal Sample Letter—Patient/Health Care Advocate Dear Senator Schumer, a Our country's cutting-edge health care technologies and medical innovation have helped to dramatically improve patient care, but the medical device tax imposed by Congress threatens to put this progress at risk. That's why I respectfully urge you to support a repeal of this harmful tax. As a member of the Buffalo City Council, I've seen the extent to which medical technology can change and even save lives. Innovation by the medical device industry has led to real improvements in patient experience and outcomes, and has contributed to the five years that have been added to U.S. life expectancy from 1980 to 2010. Investments by the industry, which spends $10 billion on research and development every year, translate into real-world progress. Unfortunately, Congress has put this innovation at risk with the medical device tax, which directly results in less money being available for the investment thatproduces better technologies and treatments. The 2.3%tax may not seem large, but it amounts to 29% of all industry R&D spending. A 2013 survey of medical device companies by the Medical Device Manufacturers Association found that companies planned to reduce R&D spending by an average of 18% as a aresult of the tax, while the same survey conducted in 2015 found that 80% of respondents said they would increase R&D spending if the tax were repealed. The medical device industry also helps to support two million high-quality American jobs, which pay an average of 40% more than the average nationwide salary. The tax threatens these jobs as -� well: in fact, according to a study by the Advanced Medical Technology Association, 39,000 jobs have already been lost or foregone as a result of the tax. The tax harms not only innovation but also a successful American industry. Put simply,the medical device tax will make far more unlikely the kinds of advancements in medical technology and patient care to which we have become accustomed. Recognizing this threat, I am proud to join other patient, health care, and disability advocates in opposition to the tax. As someone who has spent my career working for improvements in our health care system, this tax is the last thing we need. As the debate over this issue continues, I urge you to consider co-sponsoring S. 149—the Medical Device Access and Innovation Protection Act—and vote for legislation repealing the tax.

Project Descri tion A. Background In September 2013, Governor Andrew Cuomo presented his vision for a dramatic transformation of the City of Buffalo's largely vacant Outer Harbor waterfront. This has. Included the transfer of.approximately 350 acres of waterfront land from the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority ("NFTA")to ECHDC,whose mission and resources will better enable it to support and expedite the land's redevelopment. Created through land filling along the lake Erie shoreline,the NFTA (then the Niagara Frontier Port Authority) had used the northern portion of this property since the late 19505 for outdoor storage of sand, salt, gravel, and other bull(materials, as well as similar industrial port-related activities; these all ceased in the Late 1990s. The southern portion of the land has operated as the "NFTA Boat Harbor", a marina for small private boats. In addition, over the last decade, an NFTA-owned inlet south of the marina was progressively improved by NFTA and became known as"Gallagher Beach",which largely facilitated wind surfing and personal watercraft use. Approximately 190 acres of the transferred Outer Harbor lands,including the NFTA Boat Harbor and Gallagher Beach,is now being operated by the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and has been designated the "Buffalo Harbor State Park". OPRHP Is currently advancing a series of efforts to enhance services and activities in this the first state park ever established within the City of Buffalo. i i The remaining approximately 160 acres of land north of Buffalo Harbor State Park, together i with Wilkeson Point (acquired by ECHDC in 2008 and .2012) and other nearby public lands, would ultimately be improved and used in accordance with a community-driven Buffalo, Outer Harbor Blueprint (the "Blueprint'), a long-term plan that was developed in accordance with ECHDC's guiding principles and significant public input. The Blueprint,which describes future land uses and areas for future development/redevelopment, has 'recently been accepted by the 2 it j ECHDC Board of Directors and is being incorporated into the City of Buffalo's Unified Development Ordinance("Green Code"). { In the interim, there area number of relatively low-disturbance activities that could enhance jaccess and facilitate greater public 'use/enjoyment of the Outer Harbor pending the implementation of the Blueprint land uses and its subsequent environmental review process by the City of Buffalo. The subject lands have already undergone a number of incremental trail access,clean-up/remediation, and recreational improvements over the last decade while under NFTA ownership, including shore stabilization, new trail systems along the water's edge and along public roads in the area,.remediation of former disposal sites, clearance of blighted structures, and periodic programming of activities such as concerts. The actions under this proposed Civic Project intend to build upon these prior incremental improvements using a "Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper" or. "L,QC" approach, They would fill in existing access gaps, expand public usage of this great resource; and provide for additional activities that while transient/seasonal, would open public awareness of this seldom-visited part of the.City. l i B. The Proiect 3 The Project will consist of several capital improvements and investments which allow for increased public access and activation of ECHDC-owned Outer Harbor lands (see Figure 1):, _ Improvement 1: Create Visitor Center/Hub at Bell Slip with a modular installation, including pedestrian and bicycle amenities (i.e., bike racks, benches, trash cans, Adirondack chairs, etc.)to take advantage of the existing parking lot and views. Improvement 2: Complete bike.path, including pedestrian-and bicycle amenities (i.e., bike racks, benches,trash cans,Adirondack chairs, etc.) along Terminals A& B property,thereby completing the southern end of the Greenbelt loop. The northern end of the Greenbelt loop was completed in July2015:. 1 Improvement 3; Redevelop the Michigan Pier into a multi-use flex space and build on the success of Wilkeson Pointe. Clear, cap, and re-grade the approximate 8-acre site to accommodate an Adult Playground, Workout Area, Ropes" Course, foot/bicycle paths (doubling as x-country ski trails), cantilevered trail section (doubling as fishing pier), installed railing and.a perimeter walkway along the entire edge (doubling as setback), deck, beach, beer garden area, and adult games zone (i.e., horse shoes, bocce courts, pe'tanque, shuffleboard, volleyball, etc.). This will also include seasonal kiosks or other 3 structures/facilities recreational fields � , pollinator fields, seasonal floating docks, safety ladders and life rings. Improvement 4: Develop two "overlook" locations adjacent the Bell Slip. Design shall be such that birding, painting, photography, and astronomy (publicly desired activities) could 3 { a a occur at these locations. a Improvement 5: Install comprehensive signage package from Gallagher Beach to a Lighthouse based on the Erie County Shoreline Standards; including ancillary pedestrian and bicycle amenities (i.e., bike racks, benches, etc.) and landscaping features. Highlight key public locations as well as distances thereto. 1 Improvement 6: Install an Osprey nesting platform in Times Beach Nature Preserve. Improvement 7: Develop a mountain bike course(s) within a 6-acre area bounded by the. Bell Slip, Lake Erie, and Fuhrman Blvd. Given the site's features and proximity to existing paved pathways, a series of unpaved trails (each less than 5 miles in length) and a pump track would be constructed to take advantage of the mature trees.and small gently-rolling hills. The goals/objectives of the Project are directly connected with ECHDC's guiding principles, including: Improving seasonal, recreational and tourist access, use and enjoyment of the Outerw Harbor; Enhancing pedestrian and bicycle access along the Outer Harbor, as well as connecting segments of the existing regional trails network along the Lake Erie waterfront; Minimize adverse impacts on communities and the environment by avoiding .an inequitable distribution of impacts and maintaining neighborhood and community cohesion. Upon adoption of this GPP, a public hearing will be held in accordance with the provisions of the UDC Act. IV, Statutory Basis Based on the information set forth in this GPP and .other due investigation conducted by ECHDC, ECDHC hereby makes the following UDC Act Findings: A. Civic Project Findings—.UbC Act Sectio 10(dl 1. There exists in the area in which the Project is to be located, a need for the educational, cultural, recreational, community, municipal, public service or other civic facility to be included in the Project. Except for recent trail/event access, once NFTA discontinued port activities, this portion of the Lake Erie waterfront has been largely inaccessible to the public for decades. With the recent transfer.of Outer Harbor lands from NFTA to ECHDC, this Project would increase the 4 L° uboes awareness of the s a , p pace and enhance .access to the water's edge, while providing opportunities for educational,cultural and recreational experiences. The Project also.enhances the overall downtown setting for residents and visitors, and therefore provides public benefits to the local community, the City; Erie County and the State. 2. The Project consists of a building or buildings or other--facilities which ore suitable for educational, cultural, recreational, community, municipal, public service or other civic purpose. The Project site, already State-owned or City-owned property, has been determined suitable to accommodate the various improvement projects. The Project will provide for various improvements necessary to support public access, connectivity and programming. 3. The Project will be leased to or owned by the state or an agency or instrumentality thereof,a municipality or an agency or instrumentality thereof, a public corporation, or any other entity which is carrying out a community, municipal, public service or other civic purpose, and adequate provision has been, or Will be, made for the payment of the cost of the acquisition, j construction, operation, maintenance and upkeep of the Project. It is expected that upon the completion of the Project, ECHDC would retain ownershipAitle to the improvements, and ECHDC would maintain the Project as part of its overall capital facilities management program. 4. The pians and specifications assure or will assure adequate light, air, sanitation and fire protection: The plans and specifications will assure that adequate light, air,sanitation and fire protection are provided in the Project. The construction of the Project will conform to all applicable laws,codes,and standards. - 3 B. UDC Act Section 101e1 No residential or business relocation is required as a result of the Project. V.

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. j • 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 1 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. jBased on the analysis in Part 3,the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess 1 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.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Project Background/Location The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC), a subsidiary of the New York State Urban Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Development (ESD), is proposing to acquire additional property and make public investments on the Lake Erie waterfront in the City of Buffalo (the "City") to realize a series of near-term and relatively low-disturbance improvements to enhance access and facilitate greater public use and enjoyment of the waterfront. Project components would be largely located' on almost 216 acres of land bounded by (see Figure 1): ■ The Times Beach Nature Preserve on the north; ■ Fuhrmann Boulevard on the east; ■ The former Freezer Queen production plant (now being considered for adaptive reuse) on the south; and ■ Lake Erie on the west. The Project site is composed of eight City lots of record, known as 175, 225, 235, 275, 461, 525, 575, and 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard. The first two of these lots, 175 and 225 Fuhrmann Boulevard, were previously acquired and improved by ECHDC and are now known as "Wilkeson Pointe". Five of the lots (235, 275, 461, 525, and 575 Fuhrmann Boulevard) were transferred to ECHDC in late 2014 from the Niagara Frontier a Transportation Authority (NFTA). The remaining lot, 901 Fuhrmann Blvd, remains in NFTA ownership and contains the vacant NFTA Terminals A and B; ECHDC is in final discussions with NFTA regarding the transfer of this remaining property to ECHDC. The Project site is located in the Buffalo "Outer Harbor" section of the City's waterfront, referring to the properties along the Lake Erie shoreline within a protected harbor formed by an outer breakwall built in the 1920s (contrasting with the "Inner Harbor" that encompasses lands along the Buffalo River). Historically, the Outer Harbor provided deep water port facilities and associated landside transportation and industrial uses. Over the last four decades as the local economy restructured away from predominance on heavy manufacturing, this pattern of use has been progressively evolving to one relying more on proximity/access to the water for recreational uses and enhancement of less intensive waterfront uses. 1 One Project component,which would involve a new Osprey nesting platform,would be located on the Times Beach Nature Preserve,immediately north of the Project site at 69 Fuhrmann Boulevard.

Further, as part of the 2014 transfer to ECHDC, the —190-acre NFTA Boat Harbor was converted to "Buffalo Harbor State Park", the first New York State Park in the City, which is now operated by the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP). 1.2 Proposed Action The Proposed Action (i.e., the "Project") would involve ECHDC adopting a General Project Plan (GPP)to undertake the following activities: ■ Transferring ownership of 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard (including . all lands and the Port Terminal Al and B buildings) from the NFTA to17 t, t ECHDC, but excluding any specificFr' ' r activities for reuse, ,. � f redevelopment, or new � @ _� development on the property (other than trail access improvements noted below); and Port Terminal Buildings A& { at•0 ■ Programming $5 million in funds under ESD's Buffalo Billion economic development initiative for planning, remedial action, final design and construction of a series of improvements (see Figure 2) to facilitate active/passive recreational uses and future recreational and event programming, including the following: — Improvement 1: Visitor Center/Hub. This would involve creation of a Visitor Center/Hub at the 17 Bell Slip with a modular installation, including pedestrian and bicycle amenities (e.g., bike racks, benches, trash cans, Adirondack chairs, etc.) to take advantage of the existing parking lot and views. It would also include installation of electric service and/or a renewable energy source for power requirements. It is assumed that such a facility would be roughly 1,500 SF and generally be located near existing trailhead parking facilities on the Bell Slip.

This component would involve construction of a multi-purpose trail extension along the water's edge near Terminals A & B to complete the southern end of the current "Greenbelt" loop, including pedestrian and bicycle amenities (i.e., bike racks, benches, trash cans, Adirondack chairs, etc.). The trail would extend 3,500 feet in length and result in —0.8 acres of new pavement over a previously-paved/disturbed area on the a shoreline. f — Improvement 3: Michigan Pier Remediation/Reuse. This component would involve redeveloping the Michigan Pier (AKA Seaway Pier) into a flexible, multi- use outdoor recreational space, building on the success of nearby Wilkeson Pointe. It would include clearing, _ capping, and re-grading the vacantWilkeson Pointe eight-acre pier to accommodate { facilities such as: adult playground, workout area, ropes course, foot/bicycle paths (doubling as x- vier country ski trails), a cantilevered trail section (doubling as fishing pier), railings/perimeter walkway along entire edge (doubling as Former"Pier" setback), deck, beach, beer garden area, and adult games zone (e.g., horseshoes, bocce courts, petanq, shuffleboard, volleyball, etc.). This component would also involve installation of electric service and/or a renewable energy source for power requirements. The design would also include recreational fields or pollinator fields, seasonal floating docks, safety ladders and life rings. — Improvement 4: Overlooks. This would involve developing two "overlook" j locations adjacent to the Bell Slip along the existing Greenbelt loop. The design would facilitate birding, painting, photography, and astronomy (i.e., publicly- desired activities) to occur at these locations. Improvement 5: Signage System. This component would involve the design _ and installation of a comprehensive signage system from Gallagher Beach to ' the Buffalo Main Light historic lighthouse facility at the mouth of Buffalo River, conforming to standards for the Erie County/Niagara River = ;f Greenway "Shoreline Trail" sign system, including ancillary pedestrian and L bicycle amenities (i.e., bike racks, _t benches, etc.). The system would Addendum-5 z highlight_key public locations as well as distances. This co.mpo.nent has the potential for also including additional interpretive signs and for "physical fitness" (e.g., 10,000 Steps). The system would require an agreement/permitting with , NYSDOT for signs that are positioned within a NYSDOT-owned right-of-way (e.g., NYS Route 5). Improvement 6: Osprey Nesting Structure. This component would involve installation of an ? r Osprey nesting platform at a location within the , j � Times Beach Nature Preserve. This componentRE 3. would require an agreement with Erie County, Friends of Times Beach, and/or Buffalo Museum kp of Science to cover operations and maintenance. Improvement 7: Mountain Bike Facilities. This component would involve the design and establishment of.a mountain bike course(s)within a six-acre area bounded by the Bell Slip, Lake Erie, . - and Fuhrman Boulevard. Given the site's features = °- and proximity to existing paved pathways, a tea, series of unpaved trails (each less than five miles " in length) and a pump track would be established to take advantage of the mature trees and small .- — ... gently-rolling hills. 1.3 Limits of the Proposed Action i It should be noted that while the Proposed Action is limited to activities noted above, it is acknowledged that these improvements are a near-term action to facilitate public access and enjoyment of the Project site now, with a vision to realize some form of additional development on portions of the Buffalo Outer Harbor lands in the future, such as possible future adaptive reuse or new mixed-use infill development in the I vicinity of NFTA Terminals A and B. However, any future redevelopment (i.e., for uses not now permitted under current industrial zoning) would require a number of future discretionary approvals, including but not limited to adoption of new zoning/development regulations by the City (as part of the adoption of the "Buffalo Green Code"), City site plan review, and assessment in i accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). It is fully reasonable to assess the impacts of near-term improvements under the Proposed Action (as presented above in Section 1.2) separate from the SEQRA review of any potential future development(s), in consideration of the following: Timing. Undertaking planning, design/remedial activities, and construction of public ' access/recreational improvements on the site would further enhance public 1 i Addendum-6 I i i enjoyment of the Buffalo Outer Harbor in a manner fully permitted under current jlocal development regulations and policies. Implementing these improvements now would not in any way commit ECHDC, ESD, the City, or any other agency to implement and/or approve any particular redevelopment or infill development project(s) on the Buffalo Outer Harbor in the future, if and when local regulations are adopted that permit new uses other than industrial establishments. Further, in recognition that there are currently no specific proposals—defined in terms of location, type (residential, office, institutional, etc.), and scale (i.e., number of units, total area of new development, etc.)—under consideration for approval by ECHDC, ESD, the City, or any other agency, it would be premature to attempt to speculate on aspects of any such future development. ■ Lack of Significant Impacts. The specific components of the Proposed Action (i.e., property transfer, design, remedial activities, and construction of public access/recreation improvements) are not likely anticipated to result in any I significant negative direct/indirect effects to social, economic, or environmental resources. Because any future development on the Project site would also be subject to its own . SEQRA documentation and all associated public reviews/approvals, advancing the Proposed Action now before any future development is conceptualized, marketed and/or solicited would in no way affect the appearance or impression of information that would be reported in future SEQRA documentation (i.e., it would not make the separated actions appear to have "fewer" impacts); nor would it in any way be less protective of the environment. ■ Other Ongoing Public Reviews. Any future development on the Project site would largely be shaped by the ultimate adoption process for the Buffalo Green Code (i.e., to permit uses other than general industry on the site). The Green Code has been and will continue to be subject to extensive public involvement efforts, including SEQRA generic environmental impact statement prior to adoption. In turn, any new development(s) on the Project site in the future would be subject to public site plan review by the City of Buffalo. Thus, there would be ample opportunity for public review and comment if any future development on the Project site is considered. ■ Independent Utility. The specific components of the Proposed Action would have independent utility(i.e., would permit public enjoyment of the waterfront)from that of any possible future development on some portion of the Project site. While such i uses may well be related and complementary, the ultimate success of the Proposed Action is in no way directly predicated upon any such future development. Addendum-7 i J 2. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS The following sections outline various environmental considerations in accordance with SEQRA. These sections are organized according to the sections listed in Part 2 of the SEQRA Full Environmental Assessment Form. 2.1 Impact on Land 2.1.1 Existing Conditions The Project site is situated on 215.9 acres of filled land on Fuhrmann Boulevard, and is - composed of eight tax parcels in the City of Buffalo.. The northernmost two parcels (175 and 225 Fuhrmann Boulevard), formerly owned by Cargill and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) were most recently used (1968-2000) for bulk storage of road salt and for summer storage of the NYPA Lake Erie — Niagara River ice boom, although these lands were also historically used for a variety of industrial purposes, most notably as a shipbuilding yard. These parcels were remediated by ECHDC in 2013 and converted to a recreation area known as Wilkeson Pointe. The southernmost portion of the Project site (235-901 Fuhrmann Boulevard) comprises i the former "Port of Buffalo' operated by the NFTA and its predecessor agency since 1960, and prior to that by the City of Buffalo. This area includes the Buffalo Port Terminal Building A (which historically was a Ford Motor Company plant) and Terminal Building B at 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard, open storage areas formerly used to store salt, sand, and other bulk commodities, and slips (water inlets) for marine shipping including the Bell Slip,the Seaway(or Municipal Slip), and the Michigan Slip. In the 1980s, NFTA leased a portion of these lands for a private waterfront restaurant/nightclub called "Shooters" (and later known as "Breakers", and finally "The Pier"); this establishment closed in 2004 and was demolished by NFTA in 2010 as part of implementation of a clean-up remedy for contaminated soils in the fill materials that in part formed the land in this area. This same clean-up effort yielded the first phase of i the "Greenbelt" trail network along the Lake Erie shoreline. Since this time, portions of the Project site in the vicinity of the former location of "The - Pier" have been periodically used for concert events and festivals. These activities were conducted under contracts between event promoters and the NFTA, and have involved several large events. Upon the transfer of lands to ECHDC, these agreements were j assumed by ECHDC for the summer of 2015. Surrounding land uses include a mix of conservation and marine uses. While Lake Erie is immediately west of the Project site, immediately north of the site is the Times Beach Nature Preserve, located in an area formerly used as a confined disposal facility (CDF) for USACE, intended for the depositing of dredge spoils from the Buffalo Harbor. North of Times Beach is the U.S. Coast Guard Station. To the south of the Project site is the former Freezer Queen food processing plant (currently being planned for a private Addendum-8 adaptive reuse project) and Buffalo Harbor State Park. Lands to the east of the Project site include two private marina facilities. I In 2004, the City of Buffalo adopted a new Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan sets forth broad policy statements for future development, specifically calling out efforts and regulatory policies for the City to "reconnect to its waterfront, improve public { access to the lake, rivers and creeks, link neighborhoods to the water's edge, leverage waterfront assets for appropriate economic development, and improve water quality, waterfront lands and habitats in the process."(City of Buffalo 2004). 1 _ Under the City's current Zoning Ordinance provisions, the Project site is located within the M-2 General Industrial and M-3 Heavy Industrial zoning districts. These districts permit a range of general manufacturing, storage, and other industrial uses, plus any uses permitted in more restrictive zoning districts (i.e., "R" and "C" districts), with the exception of residential, hospital, and school uses. Passive recreational uses (like those j under the Proposed Action) are permitted in the R-2 district, thus these uses would also be permitted in M-2 and M-3 districts. The site is also within the limits of the Buffalo Coastal Special Review District, an overlay district requiring review/approval of new development in the zone by the Buffalo Common Council, as well as special yard/setback provisions for new structures along the waterfront. The City is currently in the process of drafting/approving the Buffalo Green Code, a complete reissuance of all zoning and other land development regulations into a unified development ordinance, intended to effectuate the broad policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as to incorporate performance standards and regulations to help achieve other land use policy documents such as Brownfield Opportunity Areas (BOAS) and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)—both administered by the New York State Department of State—as well as urban renewal plans, which would be largely replaced by standards in the Green Code. The draft Land Use Plan in the Buffalo Green Code shows the Project site largely devoted to open space and recreational uses (i.e., designated as "D-OG Open Space"), with future development and redevelopment concentrated around the southern portion of the Project site around Port Terminal Buildings A and B (designated as "N-1S Secondary Employment"). The Project site is also within the State of New York-designated Coastal Zone established under Executive Law Article 42, Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways, New York State's law to implement the federal Coastal Zone Management c Act. New York State establishes, 44 policies for development in the coastal zone regarding: encouraging the development in existing ports where infrastructure and public services are adequate; encouraging facilitation of public access for recreational purposes; protecting and revitalizing natural and man-made resources as fish and wildlife habitats, agricultural lands, open space areas, and scenic and historic resources; and protecting natural and man-made features from damage caused by flooding and erosion. The law also establishes a procedure for localities to adopt LWRPs to provide specific guidance in a particular municipality; as noted above, the City of Buffalo has Addendum-9 a I prepared a draft LWRP as part of the ongoing Green Code process, but it has not yet been formally adopted or approved by the State. 2.1.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action { The Proposed Action would result in positive land use impacts associated with further improving waterfront lands for public access. The Project would represent a natural extension of open space facilities and recreational access provided at Wilkeson Pointe and. Times Beach Nature Preserve, as well as serve as a node of activity along the emerging network of waterfront trails and access ways stretching north from Buffalo Harbor State.Park to the US Coast Guard Station. The Proposed Action would be fully consistent with the policies of the City of Buffalo Comprehensive Plan and is permitted under current zoning provisions. Given that the action has been coordinated with the City of Buffalo's ongoing efforts to issue new development regulations, the Project components are, consistent with land use recommendations in the current draft of the Buffalo Green Code. The Proposed Action would also represent the best principles of "smart growth" through its proposed reuse of brownfield property in an urbanized area and would ? contribute to an emerging pattern of recreational and mixed-use _ development/redevelopment along the waterfront. In order to avoid any long-term health and safety issues related to past contamination and to preserve the integrity of any past remedial actions on the Project site, ECHDC shall employ protocols or cause protocols to be employed as part of the design of future improvements and/or programming of future activities to ensure the workers, visitors, or users are not subject to any harmful exposure to contaminated materials in on-site soils (see also Section 2.16). Finally, in advancing further improvements for public access for recreational enjoyment of a former port facility, the Proposed Action would be fully consistent with the State's Coastal Policies. This EAF includes a NYS Coastal Assessment Form indicating that the Project would not exceed all but one threshold triggering a coastal review by the NYS Department of State, specifically a project involving more than five acres of land disturbance within the Coastal Area. The considerations and assessments in this EAF indicate that this land disturbance would not result in adverse impacts to coastal resources and would not impair/infringe upon achievement of any coastal land use policy. 1 i 2.2 Impact on Geological Features 1 The Project site was created through periodic filling events over the last century and contains no unique geological features. A discussion of the implications of the Project related to surface and subsurface soil contamination from these filling events is included under Section 2.16. Addendum-10 2.3 Impacts on Surface Water 2.3.1 Existing Conditions The proposed Project site is located adjacent to Lake Erie in the Buffalo Outer Harbor. The Niagara River/Lake Erie Basin Waterbody Inventory/Priority Waterbodies List Report was issued in September 2010. In this report the site is considered to be in the North 1 Outer Harbor. The report classifies this area of Lake Erie as a Class B waterbody and the water quality as "impaired". Water quality issues in the Niagara River/Lake Erie i Watershed are for the most part associated with past and current industrial activities and remedial actions in the Great Lakes and urban centers in the watershed. The Project site lands already owned or to be acquired by ECHDC do not contain any state or federally-regulated wetlands. However, a major state wetland complex (BU-3) exists immediately north of the Project site on the Times Beach Nature Preserve, the planned location for one Project component, a planned Osprey nesting platform. 1 2.3.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action I The Proposed Action is not anticipated to result in any significant impacts to surface water resources. The potential for water quality issues will be investigated and addressed under the design process for each Project construction component, particularly but not limited to largest anticipated construction effort, the remediation/reuse of the Michigan Pier. These issues would be addressed in State/Federal review process under Sections 401 and 404 of the U.S. Clean Water Act. -- In addition, if applicable, permits under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act will also be obtained as determined by USACE and NYSDEC review of a Joint Application submitted for components of this Project. Since the Project would disturb more than one acre of soil, a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity, GP-0-10-001 would also need to be obtained from NYSDEC. This permit regulates the discharge of stormwater during construction activities in order to help avoid any significant impacts to water quality. As part of this permit, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be developed that is in conformance with New _- York State requirements for discharge of stormwater from the site during construction. In addition, the proposed Osprey platform at the Times Beach Nature Preserve would require a State Wetland Permit, together with Section 401 Water Quality Certification, given that nearly the entire preserve is either within a state-regulated wetland complex and its buffer area. ECHDC would work closely with NYSDEC and agencies/institutions that oversee the preserve during the design and permitting process to ensure that the platform is properly sited and that proper protection provisions are incorporated in the specifications for its installation. Addendum-11 3 a 2.4 Impact on Groundwater 2.4.1 Existing Conditions a s Phase II investigations have been previously performed on properties comprising the I Project site. The investigation of the Wilkeson Pointe in 2004 detected no volatile I organic compounds (VOCs) or semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the groundwater samples above. NYSDEC Groundwater Quality Standards. Metals concentrations that were elevated relative to NYSDEC Groundwater Quality Standards were observed to be ubiquitous in the groundwater and were considered likely i attributable to the metals concentrations in the fill material used to create the Project site(LiRo Engineers 2012). Similar results were found on most of the property at 235-901 Fuhrmann Boulevard, which underwent Phase II investigations from 1991-1996, setting the basis for a 2002 Record of Decision (ROD) by NYSDEC. While these investigations indicated that groundwater samples exhibited low-to-moderate levels'of metals including barium and lead, and very low levels of pesticides, all were below NYSDEC Groundwater Quality Standards. These contaminants were attributable to fill materials that were Used to 3 create the site over its history and were comparable to general groundwater quality exhibited in the area. They were determined not to be significantly contributing to contaminant loading of Lake Erie (NYSDEC 2002). The exception to this was at the NFTA "Radio Tower Site" located just north of 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard (see also Section 2.16). Elevated levels of VOCs and SVOCs were found in groundwater wells surrounding the site, with compounds measuring over NYSDEC thresholds at the time including 4-chloroaniline, dichlorobenzene, and naphthalene (NYSDEC 1999). However, NYSDEC's Record of Decision ("ROD") for the remediation of this site indicated that this contamination is localized and that groundwater flow is limited and not readily migrating away from the site or to Lake Erie. Thus, the ultimate remedy that was implemented at the Radio Tower Site was i considered fully protective of groundwater resources. 2.4.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action It is not anticipated that the Project will result in any significant impacts to groundwater resources, nor would it result in any new pathways for migration of contaminated groundwater. Anticipated earth-moving activities are expected to be minor with the exception of remediation activities to be conducted at the Michigan Pier, which is expected to focus primarily on capping the site with clean fill where required. As part of the design process for any Project component involving substantial excavation (e.g., deeper than 10 feet) or involving remediation of soil contamination shall include a full assessment of potential effects to groundwater resources(see also Section 2.16j. . Addendum-12 2.5 Impact on Flooding 2.5.1 Existing Conditions Figure 3 depicts 100-year floodplain areas on the Project site, included in Erie County's geographic information system database. These data are derived from the Flood Insurance Study conducted for the City of Buffalo by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 100-year flood is the established under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as the standard for flood protection. It represents a magnitude/frequency that has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. Stated alternatively, the 100-year flood has roughly a 1-in-4 chance of occurring over the life of a typical 30-year home mortgage (FEMA 2015). As shown, all of the lands comprising the Times Beach Nature Preserve are in the 100- year floodplain (i.e., Zone AE). On ECHDC-owned lands, the floodplain includes significant portions of: 1 J ■ Wilkeson Pointe; ■ The Michigan and Municipal Piers; and ■ Areas around the Bell Slip and a large portion of the lands immediately south of it, including part of the land containing the former NFTA Terminal B. However, the large majority of the lands to be acquired by ECHDC at 901 Fuhrman Boulevard are located outside the projected 100-year floodplain. No portion of the Project site is within the "floodway", which is defined as the most dangerous flood area corresponding to the channel of a river or stream and the parts of the floodplain a adjoining a channel that carries and discharges the flood water or flood flow. Development in floodplains is regulated under Article 31 of the City of Buffalo Charter. This ordinance is drafted based on a federal model local ordinance for flood damage prevention that meets the required standards and content under the NFIP. New construction or substantial rehabilitation in land areas within Zone AE is not permitted unless it can be demonstrated that it will not cumulatively increase water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any location. 2.5.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action The Project would not result in any significant short or long term impacts with regard to development within a floodplain. Existing and anticipated uses that would be located in the floodplain would be limited to trails and outdoor recreation areas, which are acceptable uses within a flood-prone area. No new habitable space would be developed in a floodplain as a result of the Proposed Action.

The Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area is classified as an "attainment" area for all standards related to these criteria pollutants. Nevertheless, given that Buffalo is an urbanized setting, air emissions analyses for new development typically assess impacts from both regulated stationary sources (i.e., fixed stacks for boilers, venting for equipment involving primary combustion, etc.) and mobile sources (i.e., induced traffic), for emissions that contribute to elevated ground-level concentrations of carbon monoxide. 2.6.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action The Project would not result in any significant short- or long-term air quality impacts. It would not involve the establishment of any new regulated stationary sources of air pollutants. In turn, air emissions from site-induced traffic would also not result in any significant changes in concentrations of ground-level carbon monoxide. NYSDOT screening criteria for air quality analyses set forth in its Environmental Procedures Manual require detailed analyses only when projected peak-hour intersection levels of service deteriorate from level of service (LOS) "A" or "B" to a level of service "D" or less. Anticipated traffic as a direct result of the Proposed Action would create no peak-hour deterioration in levels of service at intersections surrounding the Project site. _1 2.7 Impact on Plants and Animals 2.7.1 Existing Conditions The ECHDC-owned portion of the Project site is a formerly supported industrial uses and does not contain any significant plant or animal resources/habitat. The dominant vegetative communities of the former industrial areas on the Project site consist of a combination of old fields, scrub/shrub lands, and limited early successional deciduous woodland (NYSDOT 2006). Species using the Project area tend to be more tolerant of highly-disturbed urban areas that have relatively high levels of human activities, require small habitats for their life requisites, and/or are highly mobile. Some limited areas on the Project site that have been upgraded to support recreation also serve to support plant/wildlife habitat. For example, the Bell Slip provides habitat for fish, amphibians, and invertebrates, with additional aquatic plantings undertaken as part of the original establishment of the Greenbelt trail. Similarly, establishment of recreational areas at Wilkeson Pointe now contributes to small animal and visiting shore/migratory bird habitat. According to the US Fish & Wildlife Service's Inventory of Threatened and Endangered Species, no federally-listed species are currently found on the Project site. Non- Addendum-15 i endangered wildlife typically found in and around the Project area includes-amphibians, - snakes, and small mammals. Lake Erie also provides ample opportunity for fish habitat. Over 40 native species of fish have been observed and inlet areas near the Project site have been identified as important spawning areas for certain fish species including muskellunge. In addition, at least two areas near the Project site contain significant wildlife resources. .Tifft Nature Preserve, located southeast of the Project site, contains a 75-acre cattail marsh, woodlands, and grasslands and is home to a large, growing herd of white tail ' deer; songbirds, waterfowl and marsh birds; as well as beaver and muskrat. The Times Beach Nature Preserve, located north of the Project site, contains a large, diverse coastal wetland habitat zones: silt flat, marsh, woodlands, and uplands, with 219 species of birds recorded there. In addition, Times Beach and the Outer Harbor overall are considered locally as "gateway features" to the Niagara River Important Bird Area—a "global priority" corridor recognized by the New York Chapter of the Audubon Society— because it hosts a remarkable diversity and abundance of waterfowl and migratory bird species (Audubon Society 2013). 2.7.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action a Overall, the Project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts to plants and animals. Construction of trails, overlooks, signage and visitor hub components are all located on largely disturbed and/or already-paved areas, thus they would result in very limited effects to plant/animal habitat. The largest Project component, the remediation and reuse of the Michigan Pier, would result in temporary displacement of small mammal and bird habitat during the construction period. However, any effects would be temporary, and other sources of habitat and food are available nearby. It can be surmised that species would migrate to Wilkeson Point and Times Beach Nature Preserve where ample space and compatible communities exist. Soil moving operations at the Michigan Pier would also pose the potential for siltation and sedimentation impacts associated with capping of the area with clean fill. As noted - in Section 2.3.2, during the design and permitting of the Michigan Pier remediation/reuse, specifications shall be included regarding the use of best practices -- to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation of nearby surface waterbodies, and thus fishery resources. These would be regulated through the SPDES permitting process. Upon completion of this Project component, the Michigan Pier would largely be landscaped and re-vegetated. This would stabilize the site from future erosion and allow for birds and small animal species to re-inhabit the Project site. 2.8 Impact on Agricultural Resources The Project site does not contain any agricultural resources. Addendum-16 i I J 2.9 Impact on Aesthetic Resources 2.9.1 Existing Conditions There are no unique visual resources on the Project site itself. The Project site could largely be characterized as a former industrial site reverting to a more naturalized site through overgrowth of scrub areas. However, the site provides positive views of Lake Erie to the west, is located amongst several emerging positive visual features along the Lake Erie waterfront (e.g., Times Beach and Tifft Nature Preserves and Buffalo Harbor State Park), and is along the "Great Lakes Seaway Trail", a federally-designated National Scenic Byway. 2.9.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action The Project would result in positive visual impacts on the Project site and its surrounding area. Proposed improvements to site access, the addition of recreational facilities, and the enhancement of site landscaping features would all positively contribute to the character of the Project site and the waterfront environment in general, as well as further enhancing visual resources along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail. 2.10 Impact on Historic and Archaeological Resources 2.10.1 Existing Conditions The Project site does not contain any resources listed on the State and/or National Registers of Historic Places (S/NRHP), nor is within locally-designated historic district or resource. Structures on the Project site include former Port Terminal Buildings A and B. Terminal Building A was determined to be potentially eligible for inclusion on the S/NRNP as part of the Design Report/Environmental Impact Statement for the Southtowns Connector/Buffalo Outer Harbor Project undertaken by NYSDOT. The Project site is also not located in an area that has been identified as being a source of significant archaeological resources. Review of historic maps of the area indicate that the land comprising the Project site was created through progressive filling operations occurring in the early to mid-20th century; the 1901 USGS map of the area shows the Project site as open water, while the 1947 USGS map shows the Project site partially filled (see Figure 4). Thus, it is highly unlikely that the site contains any significant archaeological resources. Addendum-17 r 1 ' Frn�t�_I � + y 1 � I l:• x ✓. a A!

In accordance with Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act, ESD/ECHDC is consulting with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation on its conclusions regarding the lack of such impacts. 2.11 Impact on Open Space and Recreation 2.11.1 Existing Conditions The Project site currently contains formal recreational facilities in the form of the on-site a Greenbelt trail and recently completed Wilkeson Pointe facilities. It is also located near a number of emerging recreational and open space features along the Outer Harbor j waterfront including (from north to south): ■ Times Beach Nature Preserve, operated by the Buffalo Museum of Science, created as part of a closed/remediated CDF for dredge spoils once operated by the USACE; ■ The recently-established Buffalo Harbor State Park, consisting of boat marina, windsurfing beach, picnic, and fishing pier facilities (formerly operated by the NFTA); _ ■ Several small privately-owned marinas; a ■ Tifft Nature Preserve, also operated by the Buffalo Museum of Science; and ■ Park and recreation improvements around the Union Ship Canal, as part of the redevelopment of the Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park. In addition, as part of the Southtowns Connector/Buffalo Outer Harbor Project (completed in 2010 by NYSDOT) Fuhrmann Boulevard was completely reconfigured and reconstructed from a series of one-way expressway frontage roads to a single, two-way waterfront parkway. As part of this reconstruction, an extensive system of multi- purpose trails was constructed on land reclaimed from former frontage road rights-of- way, stretching from the Union Ship Canal to the US Coast Guard Station. 2.11.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action i The Project would not remove and/or impair any open space or recreational facility in the vicinity of the Project site, but rather, would represent a further expansion of waterfront access and recreational facilities along the Buffalo Outer Harbor. Addendum-19 i i i 1 ! 2.12 Impact on Critical Environmental Areas The Project site contains no designated critical environmental areas. ; 2.13 Impact on 'Transportation 2.13.1 Existing Conditions Local road access to the Project site is provided exclusively by Fuhrmann Boulevard; access to the nearest highway facility from Fuhrmann Boulevard is provided to NYS Rte 5 at an interchange just south of Michigan Avenue. Rte 5 provides high-speed access north and south and connects to the interstate system. Traffic is limited along _ Fuhrmann Boulevard insofar as it terminates north of the Project site at the US Coast Guard Station. Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) counts for Fuhrmann Boulevard were last recorded by the Greater Buffalo Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC) in 2011, indicating AADTs ranging from only 925 to 1,225 total vehicles across an entire 24-hour-period (compared to an AADT of over 38,000 along the expressway section of NYS. Rte 5). In fact, there are no signalized intersections in the vicinity of the Project site given these low traffic levels and these intersections all operate at acceptable levels of service (i.e., LOS "A"to "C). I - ; Under prior NFTA ownership, the Project site has supported a number of large summer concert events, often attracting many thousand attendees. Given that the local roads surrounding the Project are not heavily used nor are major commuting routes, staging of traffic access before and after such events has proven to be very manageable. i ! f j 5 } 3 ;y i j i k i f Addendum-20 I . 0 �W _ r 1I Vt 1 t i 1 Typical summer concert events at the Project site have previously attracted several thousand attendees without significant traffic effects(Photo by Joe Cascio 2012). A detailed analysis of the traffic and intersection operations along Fuhrmann Boulevard and other local and regional roadways network along the Outer Harbor was conducted as part of the Final Design Report/Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Southtowns Connector/Buffalo Outer Harbor Project (NYSDOT 2006). This traffic analysis assumed a 2030 design year (i.e. 20 years after the completion year of 2010) and involved a modeling exercise using the GBNRTC regional traffic forecasting model. Projected traffic impacts were developed for a future scenario involving a significant level of new development along the Outer Harbor by the 2030 Design Year. Selected alignments for Fuhrmann Boulevard were designed to accommodate projected 2030 traffic levels at acceptable levels of service. 2.13.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action The Project would result in no significant impacts to traffic operations in and around the Buffalo Outer Harbor. As noted above, the reconstruction of Fuhrmann Boulevard in 2010 as part of the Southtowns Connector/Buffalo Outer Harbor Project was projected to result in no significant traffic impacts through 2030 under a future development scenario involving significant levels of new development along the Outer Harbor waterfront. These development thresholds and associated traffic levels have not yet been realized, nor would they be realized as a result of activities under the Proposed Action. Addendum-21 3 i Further, traffic associated with event programming and other activities on the Project site are not anticipated to generate any significant traffic impacts. Prior large concert events have demonstrated the local road and parking areas have sufficient capacity to stage such periodic activities. In turn, traffic generated by daily/weekend recreational programing tends to be much' less than periodic large concert events, is more distributed across an entire day, and tends to occur in off-peak periods. 2.14 Impact on Energy The Project would have no significant impacts to the use and management of energy resources. 2.15 Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light 2.15.1 Existing Conditions The Project site does not contain any major sources of noise, odors, or light. 2.15.2 Impacts of the Proposed Action The Project would not result in any significant impacts with regard to noise, odors, or ' glare, such as that associated with landfills, selected agricultural uses, or heavy manufacturing facilities. With regard to lighting, the Project would involve the installation of limited electrical power and site lighting facilities to serve security and public safety needs. These additional light sources are not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts to on-site or adjoining areas. During the design phase of the various Project components, site designers will employ best practices to avoid any adverse effects, including implementing operational practices related to the Governor's "Lights Out New York" Initiative, which limits non-essential outdoor lighting from 11:00 PM to dawn from April 15 through May 31, and August 15 through November 15, the spring and autumn seasonal periods of peak bird migration (Palus 2015). a 2.16 Impact on Human Health This section relates to soil contamination issues and remedies that have occurred at the - Project site, its implications on the Proposed Action, and future measures to continue to prevent any long-term exposure by visitors and users of the Project site. 2.16.1 Existing Conditions 2.16.1.1 History of Filling Events and Site Uses As late as the turn of the 20th century, a great deal of the Lake Erie shoreline in the Project area was actually located east of Fuhrmann Boulevard, aligning with the present-day location of NYS Route 5 (where a seawall was located) and the Project site consisted of underwater lands. Beginning in the late 19th century, when the Outer Harbor breakwall was completed (located in the lake several hundred yards west of the Addendum-22 Project area) a succession of filling events occurred to progressively create the subject land area that is there today. These fill events included, but were not limited to (NYSDOT 2006): ■ Construction of various rail line and sidings, 1890-1925; ■ Landfilling and construction of shipbuilding facilities in current location of Wilkeson Pointe, 1925; Construction of the Michigan Avenue Pier and Municipal Pier (AKA "Seaway Piers") in 1926-1927; _ ■ Construction of the NFTA Buffalo Port Terminal Building A and pier (first occupied by as a Ford Motor Company-assembly plant) in 1931; ■ Landfilling at the foot of Michigan Avenue 1927-1935; ■ General municipal landfilling (incinerator ash and unconsolidated debris), 1935- 1960; ■ Construction of Buffalo Skyway complex (NYS Route 5), 1957; and ■ Dredge filling and along the northern portion of the Project area and at Times Beach, 1960-1975. _ These filling events over the history of the Project area were predominantly undertaken to facilitate heavy industrial uses like auto assembly/parts manufacture and port uses such as bulk storage/shipping of materials used in local steelmaking and coke operations. With the closing of the region's two largest steel plants in the early 1980s, bulk tonnage stored at the Port of Buffalo significantly declined and by the 1990s the Port was relocated to facilities two miles south at the former Bethlehem Steel complex in Lackawanna. i 2.16.1.2 Past Site Investigations and Remedies Given its extensive industrial legacy, various areas of the Outer Harbor have been the subject of past environmental investigations and analyses of contamination directly and indirectly created by these uses. Summaries of the conclusions and implications of these past studies are presented in the following sections. - Times Beach After binational regulations were adopted that prohibited disposing of Buffalo River sediments in the open waters of Lake Erie (i.e., because of contamination in such sediments), in 1971 the USACE constructed the Times Beach CDF for disposing of spoils from periodic dredging of the Buffalo River shipping channel. Continual deposition of dredge spoils there created 46 acres of both aquatic and terrestrial habitat. At the request of the Buffalo Ornithological Society, in 1976 USACE closed the Times Beach CDF; in 1991, it was designated as a nature preserve. Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals have been found in sediments disposed at Addendum-23 i i 3 I Times Beach, the environment created there proved attractive and supportive to many - wetland plant and wildlife species and migratory birds. In fact, because the habitat at the now-designated nature preserve is so well developed, it has been used as a a laboratory for long-term studies of bioaccumulation of contaminants by aquatic and j terrestrial plants/animals and effects on such organisms (USACE 2003; Industrial Economics, Inc. 2011). Wilkeson Pointe (175 & 225 Fuhrmann Boulevard) After acquiring the parcels comprising Wilkeson Pointe, ECHDC commissioned Phase 1/II I Environmental Site Assessments in 2008 and 2011 to fully ascertain possible contamination in that area (ECHDC 2012). Soil sampling results showed widespread contamination with SVOCs and metals. No VOCs, pesticides, herbicides and PCBs were detected above NYSDEC-established thresholds. Further, there was no evidence of any underground storage tanks (USTs) or soil contamination typical of leaking USTs. Based on these observations, the contamination was determined to be attributable to the characteristics of the fill material used to create the site. These studies indicated that while the site exhibited contamination, they did not indicate substances or levels that a would render the site to be classified as "hazardous" under state or federal regulations. The site was remediated in 2012 through a capping of the site using approved capping j material and a geotextile fabric to provide a physical separation between the existing site material and the cap material. The cap extends to the shoreline where stone was used to protect the site from erosion and provide a barrier to contact by users of the shoreline (ECHDC 2008;2012). Michigan Pier The Michigan Avenue Pier was constructed in 1926-1927, occupying approximately eight acres. The site is reportedly filled with dredge material from Lake Erie, demolition debris and miscellaneous refuse. Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESAs) were conducted by NYSDEC in 1987 and an additional Phase II ESA was performed by NFTA. Supplemental studies were also conducted in 1991. These studies indicated that certain soil samples on the site exhibited elevated concentrations of metals (cadmium, copper, lead,and mercury) and VOCs (URS 2012). Similar to Wilkeson Pointe, the Michigan Pier's soils are classified as contaminated, but not hazardous under state/federal guidance and laws. NFTA Port of Buffalo Lands Beginning in 1987, state/local agencies have worked to investigate and address soil conditions on this portion of the Project site; for example, NFTA has conducted a host of site assessments, soils testing/borings, and remedial investigations/feasibility (RI/FS) studies to develop options for site clean-up of its former Port of Buffalo lands. The most extensive and comprehensive investigation was an RI/FS conducted in 1995 by Dvirka and Bartilucci, which involved collection of a 'total of 122 surface soil samples2 on a 2 Insofar as the types of proposed construction and future programming activities would generally require limited excavation,for purposes of length the information presented focuses upon surface soils. i i Addendum-24 roughly 100-by-100-foot grid. The results of these surface soil samples were compared J against NYSDEC-established thresholds. Patterns of site contamination are summarized 1 as follows (URS 2012): ■ North of Bell Slip -14 of 78 samples contain SVOCs at elevated concentrations. The SVOCs consist of carcinogenic PAHs (cPAHs), primarily Benzo(a)pyrene alone, and occasionally Dibenz(a,h)anthracene. The majority of the exceedances are concentrated in about a 400-600-foot wide band extending from the southeast I corner of the parking lot of the former Pier Restaurant to the midpoint of the Greenbelt along the shoreline. Three of the 78 samples contain one or more elevated concentrations of metals, including arsenic, copper, cyanide, and mercury. These exceedances occur generally in the same band as the SVOCs. Typically, there are only one or two elevated levels of metals at a particular sampling location. ■ South of Bell Slip - 18 of 58 surface soil samples contain SVOCs at elevated concentrations. The SVOCs consist primarily of cPAHs including Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Dibenz(a,h)anthracene, and Indeno(1,2,3- cd)pyrene. Two Records of Decision (RODS) were issued by NYSDEC in 1999 and 2002 regarding this portion of the Project site: ■ A 1999 ROD for the Buffalo Outer Harbor "Radio Tower Site" (i.e., NYSDEC Site No. - 915026 located in a small portion of the "South of the Bell Slip" area immediately north of the paved portions of 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard), which had stipulations for - a full clean-up and de-listing of this NYS-listed Inactive Hazardous Waste Site (AKA State Superfund Site), which is now fully completed (NYSDEC 1999); and ■ A 2002 ROD for the 'Buffalo Outer Harbor Brownfield Site" (i.e. NYSDEC Site No. B00149, comprising all former NFTA Port of Buffalo lands other than the "Radio i Tower Site"), at which soils would be classified as contaminated, but not hazardous. This ROD involved a remedy consisting of installing a soil/geotextile cap and riprap stabilization along the Outer Harbor shoreline (i.e., in the area used to create the current "Greenbelt" trail loop) to prevent migration of soils into Lake Erie. This was completed in 2010. The 2002 ROD also called for implementation of a "use-based" -- strategy for the balance of the area, citing necessary future remedial actions coinciding with various types of future land development (e.g., residential, commercial) to prevent/block possible exposure pathways to site contaminants. For example, land uses associated periodic visitation to the site (e.g., commercial and institutional development) could require a soil cap of one foot of clean fill; whereas detached single-family housing might require a deeper soil cap or removal of soils for off-site disposal (NYSDEC 2002). Extensive analyses of subsurface soils has also been conducted and indicated similar characterizations of soils exhibiting contamination, but not to level classified as hazardous under State/Federal regulations. Addendum-25 i i i 2.16.1.3 Recent Human Health Assessments In 2012, NFTA and ECHDC commissioned URS Corporation (URS) to conduct a Limited Human Health Exposure Assessment to determine what level of risk recreational visitors and users of Buffalo Outer Harbor lands (i.e., the Project site, as well as lands now comprising Buffalo Harbor State Park). At the time of the assessment, access to portions of the Project site was restricted and it was largely not utilized for any form of passive recreational uses. Understanding that past contamination of the Project site did not pose any acute (i.e., immediate/short-term) risk to human health, NFTA and ECHDC wished the assessment to ascertain the level of risk associated with long-term exposure associated with programming and recreational activities from contamination known to be present in soil/fill materials used to create these properties (URS 2012). URS compiled and comprehensively assessed all past reports and data collected at Outer Harbor properties and assessed the human health implications of using the Project site for a variety of passive recreational uses including, but are not limited to: ■ Bicycling and hiking ■ Beach activities Outdoor events (movies, concerts, etc.) ■ Art displays ■ Rental concessions for boats; canoes, etc. In conducting their assessment, URS used the most-recent soil cleanup objectives (SCOs), promulgated by NYSDEC in 2006 for soil remediation projects. These SCOs were developed to protect long-term public health based on the intended future use of a site. The intended use categories include "unrestricted", "residential', "restricted residential', "commercial', and "industrial" use. The proposed use of the site for passive recreational purposes would generally fall in the "restricted residential' and/or "commercial' use categories. In accordance with regulations governing SCOs at 6NYCRRPart 375 1.8(g)(2), recreational uses assessed as part of this assessment correlated with SCO categories as follows: _ ■ Those activities that potentially involve a reasonable potential for contact with onsite soils (e.g., beach activities, picnicking, soccer, baseball, etc.) would fall under the "restricted residential' use category; and ■ Those passive recreational uses that only involve limited potential for contact with onsite soils (e.g., walking, hiking, concerts, etc.) would fall under the "commercial use" category. URS stated that typical "exposure pathways"—the typical ways a person can come into contact with contaminated soils—for the anticipated recreation users groups at the Project site would include the following (URS 2012): ■ Exposure via dermal contact is considered a potentially complete exposure pathway for recreational site users and site redevelopment and/or maintenance workers. Addendum-26 i ■ Exposure via ingestion is considered a potentially complete exposure pathway for recreational site users and site redevelopment/maintenance workers. ■ Exposure via inhalation of fugitive dust is considered a potentially complete exposure pathway for recreational site users, and site redevelopment/maintenance workers. Nearby workers and users of the Greenbelt also could potentially be exposed; however, URS stated that this potential pathway is extremely limited in that the majority of the site is covered with vegetation which will limit dust formation. Also, the relatively short time of exposure and low contaminant concentration for any offsite exposure scenarios would likely be very low. URS noted that the type and concentrations of contaminants on the Project site varies from area to area and with location within the soil column. URS stated that these contaminants present a potential risk of long-term exposure to recreational users, primarily from dermal contact, ingestion and inhalation of the surface soil/fill materials. Figures 5 and 6 summarize URS's findings with regard to exposure risk for recreational uses classified as "restrictive residential" use SCOs and "commercial" use SCOs, respectively. Those portions of the Project site that show exceedances of the SCOs (i.e. represented by the red dots) would represent potential exposure risk areas as identified and would need to be further evaluated and/or mitigated accordingly prior to land redevelopment and/or reuse for passive recreational purposes (URS 2012). As noted on these figures, the URS assessment pre-dated the remediation actions that created Wilkeson Pointe; thus, exposure risks in this area have since been addressed. URS noted that some rather large portions of the Project site do not show any 71 exceedances of SCOs (i.e. represented by the blue dots) for either "restricted residential" and/or "commercial" uses. As such, URS stated that these areas should be suitable "as-is" for passive recreational uses without implementation of any specific j mitigation measures (URS 2012).

These would include the following: ■ ECHDC shall undertake evaluations/documentation of any proposed construction and/or programming activities not already being conducted in areas deemed to be i low-risk under the 2012 URS report (e.g., on-site concerts, hiking/activities along Greenbelt cap, etc.) to confirm that the design of.the facility and/or the conduct of the programming activity would not inordinately expose future users/workers from contaminated soils via dermal contact, ingestion and inhalation. Such evaluations shall be conducted by a qualified environmental engineer or environmental scientist specializing in site remediation and/or human health risk assessment. ■ ECHDC shall ensure that the remediation/reuse design of the Michigan Pier includes a full environmental engineering evaluation regarding soil contamination and any necessary capping to prevent long-term exposure, preventing any groundwater contamination/migration issues, and measures to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation (both during construction and in long-term operation), as well as incorporate any necessary health/safety protocols into the contract specifications to I ensure construction workers are not inordinately exposed to soil contaminants. ( Given the scale of the effort, ECHDC shall conduct a public session(s) during the design process to outline findings of any soil testing/evaluations and proposed remediation measures, as well as plans for other site improvements. j ■ With regard to on-going operations, ECHDC shall ensure that maintenance/operations workers on the Project site employ proper work protocols to ensure health/safety, including (as warranted) use of personal protection equipment (PPE), dust control measures, and are provided proper worker training on good hygiene and work practices. 2.16.2.1 Evaluation of Specific Project Components i In specifically applying these overall protocols to components of the Proposed Action, anticipated effects and considerations related to human health are summarized in the following sections. Transfer of 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard to ECHDC This Project component would have no human health implications. The transfer of the I ? property would be done in "as is" condition and the Proposed Action would not involve any reuse of the Port Terminal Buildings A and B. It is anticipated that prior any proposed reuse that ECHDC would commission appropriate building condition i i i Addendum-30 I assessments, asbestos surveys, and/or Phase I ESAs, as warranted, ascertaining any issues regarding contamination, abatement needs, and/or public safety. Visitor Center Hub Given that this Project component would involve the installation of a modular frame shelter and other surface amenities likely to be sited near existing paved parking in an area where soils do not exceed SCOs, it is not anticipated that any significant human health issues would arise. Environmental evaluations during design would likely center upon any necessary subsurface trenching to provide electrical power, and thus any potential exposure issues for site workers. Southern Greenbelt Extension This Project component would largely involve shallow excavation of already paved areas to install an extension of the Greenbelt trail along the water's edge at 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard, thus it is not anticipated to result in any. significant exposure to contaminated soils. Nevertheless, as part of the design process, ECHDC will ensure that { site borings will include soil samples/evaluation for contamination, and take any j appropriate measures in the construction specifications. Michigan Pier Remediation/Reuse By its definition, this Project component involves a site cleanup and capping, as necessary, to permit improvements for recreational facilities. Thus it would proceed through a design process similar to that employed for the Wilkeson Pointe site and involve soil testing/evaluation, remedial design, and public disclosure activities noted above. Overlooks In consideration that this Project component would involve surface improvements along the already-capped Greenbelt, it is not anticipated to result in any adverse human health effects. During design, particular attention will be made to ensure that any improvements will not impact the integrity of the Greenbelt remedy. Signage System Installation of the proposed signage system would largely be located along public rights of way outside of contaminated areas and involve very limited site disturbance. Thus it is not expected to result in any human health issues. Osprey Nesting Structure In consideration that the Times Beach Nature Preserve contains contaminated sediments and that this Project component would require state/federal wetlands and water quality permitting, it is anticipated that issues regarding contamination during the design/installation process would center on employing proper siting and installation measures to ensure worker safety and to prevent any impacts regarding siltation or sediment impacts to existing wetland complexes. Addendum-31 1 3 1 Mountain Bike Facilities Given that it is anticipated that this Project component would be sited in areas where soils samples indicate that they do not exceed.SCOs, it is not anticipated that it will result in any significant human health impacts. However, given the limitations on soil data cited in the 2012 Limited Human Health Risk 'Assessment and that this would { involve anew activity, ECHDC will undertake an evaluation of soil contamination issues of the proposed trail route once it is finalized, take any appropriate measures to ensure human health and safety, and make any findings available for public review. j 2.17 Consistency with Community Plans i As noted in Section 2.1.2, the Proposed Action would be fully consistent with Community Plan policies including the Buffalo Comprehensive Plan, Buffalo Zoning Ordinance, and Draft Buffalo Green Code, as well as New York State policies for uses j with the coastal zone. I 2.18 Consistency with Community Character i The Project would positively contribute to the growth and character of the neighborhood and the community as a whole, by further rehabilitating and re-purposing a brownfield area, add to the growing network of public access and amenities along the t Outer Harbor waterfront, and serve to help bridge/link already completed improvements. 2.19 Secondary, Indirect, and Cumulative Effects of the Proposed Action The Project may indirectly result in positive impacts related to encouraging new t waterfront development in the future. The Proposed Action however, does not specifically commit ECHDC, ESD, the City of Buffalo, or any other agency to any future project in the vicinity of the Project site. Any subsequent development activities would be subject to SEQRA review. 3.

Box 189 Waterford, NY 12188-0189 Re: Buffalo Outer Harbor Access&Activation Civic Project 175,225,235,275,461,525,575,and 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard, Buffalo, NY Buffalo, Erie County, New York Dear Ms. Pierpont: This letter is intended to supplement information uploaded to the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation's ("OPRHP's) Cultural Resource Information System ("CRIS"). The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation ("ECHDC"), a subsidiary of the New York State Urban Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Development ("ESD"), is proposing to acquire property and make public investments to improve a brownfield property on the Lake Erie waterfront in the City of Buffalo, NY. The Project, to be located on eight parcels fronting on Fuhrmann Boulevard (see Figure 1 as part of full project description uploaded to the CRIS),would involve: ■ Transferring ownership of 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard (including all lands and the Buffalo Port Terminal A and B buildings) from the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority ("NFTA")to ECHDC, but excluding any specific activities for reuse, redevelopment, or new development on the property; and ■ Programming $5 million in funds under ESD's "Buffalo Billion" economic development initiative for planning, remedial actions, final design and construction of a series of improvements to facilitate active/passive recreational uses and future recreational programming (see Figure 2 as part of full project description uploaded to the CRIS). The subject properties were previously part of the designated "Port of Buffalo" operated by NFTA and used for industrial and bulk storage facilities. NFTA fully ceased port operations there in the early 1990s. Since this time, NFTA has undertaken a number of environmental site investigations and feasibility studies related to new future uses on the property. In late 2014, NFTA transferred all of its waterfront holdings to ECHDC,except for 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard, which is now being transferred as part of this action. Currently, only 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard contains standing structures: Terminal A, a 490,500-square- foot concrete/brick/metal building dating to 1931 that was originally a Ford Motor Company assembly plant and later used for light manufacturing and warehousing associated with the former port; and Terminal B, a 95,000-square-foot concrete/metal warehousing structure dating roughly to the 1960s. The buildings were assessed in 2004-06, as part of the NYS Dept. of Transportation's Design Report/Environmental Impact Statement for the Southtowns Connector/Buffalo Outer Harbor Project. Terminal A was determined to be potentially eligible for inclusion on the State and National Registers of Historic Places ("S/NRHP"). However, as noted above, no changes to the structure other than its ownership would occur as part of this action. Thus, no impacts are anticipated to this building.

We have reviewed the submitted materials in accordance with the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 (section 14.09 of the New York Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law). These comments are those of the Division for Historic Preservation and relate only to Historic/Cultural resources. They do not include potential environmental impacts to New York State Parkland that may be involved in or near your project. Such impacts must be considered as part of the environmental review of the project j pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act(New York Environmental Conservation Law Article 8) and its implementing regulations (6NYCRR Part 617). We have reviewed your submission dated September 22"d, 2015 for the Buffalo Outer Harbor Access &Activation Civic Project. We note that the former Ford Motor Company Plant(Terminal A), located at 901 Furman Boulevard, has been determined eligible for listing in the State and National Registers of Historic Places.

Utica Street—Buffalo, NY 14209—716-650-8889 a i i Governor Andrew M. Cuomo Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman State Senator Timothy M. Kennedy State Assemblywoman Crystal D. Peoples Mayor Byron W. Brown Comptroller Mark. J.F. Schroeder Council President Darius G. Pridgen ESD President Howard Zemsky Greetings, Members of Buffalo New York's African American, Latino American, and rights advocacy leadership have formed the Contract Compliance Review Committee to address diversity and equal opportunity in local construct projects in the Buffalo Metropolitan area. The Contract Compliance Review Committee is a coalition of community-based, religious, fraternal, civil rights, and business groups who consist of over twenty five organizations. It is our opinion that the project known as the SolarCity located at 1341 South Park Ave. in the City of Buffalo, is a project "too big to fail" in giving minorities equal opportunity, diversity, and hope in capital construction of publically funded facilities. With over$750 million dollars of state funding it will ultimately determine whether the "Billion For Buffalo" will include African and Latino Americans. In October 2015 Mayor Byron W. Brown publically announced that the Solar City project had achieved its EEO/Diversity/MWBE goals. On October 9, 2015,our coalition of over 100 citizens representing over twenty five local organizations stood outside of the 1341 South Park Avenue work site to protest the lack of a compliance officer,the lowering of the minority business enterprise and minority workforce goals down from 25%to 15%, and to demand.a fair and equitable system to bring affected minorities into the Building Trades Council of WNY. Subsequently our coalition unanimously voted for the following action steps. I 1.Call to open records of the hiring workforce on the Solar City Project. 2. Empire State Development does not have a local Minority/EEO Diversity Compliance Officer We call for such an independent compliance officer to monitor and review the Solar City stats and be hired within 60 days. 3.Call to conduct an independent disparity study in the city of buffalo and include request for funds to do so in the 2016 city budget. I { i 4.Call for a restoral of 25% minority and 5%women(MBE &WBE) and 25% minority and 5%women hiring goals. 5.Research the jobs pipeline already in place and create a real job and carrier pipeline a for minorities. 6.Callfor a work stoppage/demonstration if the company is not in compliance with hiring demands It is our expectation that our requests be responded to by December 1, 2015 Thank you for every consideration in advance.

DEC Site #: C915261 see "Who to Contact" Address: 129 Holden Street; Buffalo,NY 14214 Below Website: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/81818.html Cleanup Action Completed at Brownfield Site ' Action has been completed to address the contamination related to the 129 Holden Street Redevelopment("site") located at 129 Holden Street, Buffalo,Erie County under New York State's 1 Brownfield Cleanup Program. Please see the map for the site location. { The cleanup activities were performed by Highland Park Village,LLC ("applicant")with oversight provided by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation(DEC). The applicant has submitted a draft Final Engineering Report for DEC review which states that cleanup requirements have been or will be achieved to fully protect public health and the environment for the proposed site use. Highlights of the Site Cleanup: 1. Excavation and off-site disposal of 1,140 cubic yards of soils/fill materials contaminated with metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from five hot spot areas. The impacted soil/fill was disposed off-site at a DEC permitted disposal facility. 2. Placing a site cover system over the entire site. The cover system consisted of either a minimum 2-foot thickness of clean soil meeting the Part 375 restricted residential use cover requirements or gravel. The soil cover was placed over an orange mesh demarcation layer over most of the site. 3. An Environmental Easement was placed on the property to restrict land use to restricted residential/commercial/industrial operations and prevent future exposure to any contamination remaining at the Site. 4. Implementation of a Site Management Plan(SMP)detailing requirements for management of remaining contamination as required by the Environmental Easement. 5. Excavation Work Plan to assure that future intrusive activities and soil/fill handling at the Site are completed in a safe and environmentally responsible manner; and " 6. Certification that the institutional and engineering controls are still in place and effective will be made annually. Next Steps I When DEC approves the Final Engineering Report, it will be made available to the public (see j "Where to Find Information" below). DEC then will issue a Certificate of Completion which will be announced in a fact sheet that is sent to the site contact list. i { The applicant would be able to redevelop the site after receiving a Certificate of Completion. In addition,the applicant: 1 • Would have no liability to the State for contamination at or coming from the site, subject to { certain conditions; and • Would be eligible for tax credits to offset the costs of performing cleanup activities and for redevelopment of the site. A Certificate of Completion may be modified or revoked if, for example, an applicant does not comply with the terms of its Brownfield Cleanup Agreement with DEC.

Current Zoning and Land Use: The site is located within the commercial zoning district. Surrounding adjacent areas are zoned for residential and commercial use. Past Use of the Site: From 1877 to 1948,the Buffalo Cement Company operated this site as a rock quarry. The quarry was filled in with materials such as silty clay, sands, gravels,bricks,fractured limestone, slag, and industrial fill. In 1958 the site was developed by Central Park Shopping Center, Inc. In addition to shopping stores, other businesses such as auto repair,photographic processing, and dry cleaning also occupied the Central Park Plaza. The site has been vacant since July 2011. Four of the five vacant plaza buildings were demolished in 2012. The fifth building was demolished in 2014. Site Geology and Hydrogeology: The overburden soils encountered at the site consist of various fill materials and disturbed native soils. The fill materials consist of fractured limestone, slag, sands, ash,non-native silty clay, and gravels. The thickness of the fill ranges from approximately 5 to 19. The bedrock consists of Onondaga Limestone or Berttie Limestone depending on location relative to historic quarry operations. The depth of groundwater is approximately 13 feet below ground surface. The groundwater flows in a northerly direction. Additional site details, including environmental and health assessment summaries, are available on DEC's website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/81818.html and http•//www dec nygov/cfinx/extapps/derexternal/haz/details.cfm?pageid=3&progno=C915261. r 5 Brownfield Cleanup Program: New York's Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) encourages the a voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties known as"brownfields"so that they can be reused i and redeveloped.These uses include recreation, housing, business or other uses.

Our location there,which is the registered address of NICYO as a NYS DOS registered 501(c)3,was established by an oral agreement in the late 70's between us and then Mayor of Buffalo Jimmy Griffin. Now, our future in your district is in jeopardy: Olmsted Parks Conservatory is in talks with The City to develop new programs at MLK,Jr. Park to follow new development plans.These plans do not include NICYO.These plans do not recognize that we have been there for years,repeatedly endorsed by local government officials,working hard through good times and bad.These plans do not take into account that we have already mastered the tasks that new - organizations may try to accomplish. Most significantly,these plans do not recognize Mayor Griffin's oral agreement with us to have priority use of and stay at MLK,Jr. Park. I am requesting that your office assist us in converting our oral agreement to a formal written MOU.We . need to show all relevant parties that our pre-existing public agreement stands the test of time and will continue to be executed by honorable community-stakeholders like you and 1: i Thank you,in advance for your help.

Association 11/13/2015 Statement from the MLK Business District Association Re: Proposed Development at 1415 Fillmore Ave-Buffalo, NY 14211 Attn: The Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, On October 21 st of this year there was Public Hearing regarding the pending project located at 1415 Fillmore Ave. After public statements were made by invested parties it was recommended by the zoning board that a public meeting be held in order to get input from the community. That public meeting was held on Thursday October 29th, 2015 and was attended by (42) people. At that meeting it was absolutely clear that the community was very excited about the new project and how it would enhance the corridor along Fillmore Ave. It was also overwhelmingly clear that the project should not include a restaurant at this time. As stated in our previous letter we currently have (8) eateries along Fillmore Ave. We think opening another restaurant would destabilize those eateries that exist now. Again, we want business growth and development along the Fillmore Ave. corridor,but we want to make sure that the goods and services provided are balance and serve as a compliment to the neighborhood and not a destabilizing force. 3 S Please find enclosed a copy of the previous letter sent to the zoning board and a petition in support of the project "WITHOUT THE RESTAUTANT".

First of all this is not the first time we have heard about this project. As a matter of fact during the Fillmore Streetscape project, completed last year along Fillmore Ave. , the city was going to put an easement at the curb to accommodate the owner's project. What we didn't know about the project was that a restaurant was part of their development. This is a problem because this restaurant will be located directly across from Matties Restaurant who is located at 1412 Fillmore Ave. Matties' Restaurant along with its' owners George and Mattie Holt have been a pillar and a fixture in our community for over 40 years. We understand that people are migrating from foreign countries and from other U. S. cities to live and to open up businesses in our neighborhood. This is a good thing;but opening another food or restaurant business along the Fillmore Ave corridor would destabilize those food businesses that exist there now. Currently there are (7) food businesses on Fillmore between E. Ferry and N. Parade. We think that amount is adequate. Finally the other problem we are having is with loitering,especially in plazas where loitering goes on all day and well into the evening. How would the owner address this? We want business growth and development along the Fillmore Ave. corridor, but let's make sure that those businesses are providing needed i goods and services for our residents and for the surrounding neighborhood.

Now,Therefore,Be It Resolved,this body supports the passage of the Safe Staffing for Quality Care Act during the 2016 NY State Legislative session; and Be It Further Resolved,this body applauds Assemblymember Peoples-Stokes, Assemblymember Ryan, Assemblymember Kearns, Senator Panepinto, and Senator Kennedy for sponsoring this legislation and urges our entire WNY delegation to prioritize this legislation for their 2016 agenda; and Be It Finally Resolved,the City Clerk send a copy of this resolution to Governor Cuomo, Senate Majority Leader Flanagan, Assembly Speaker Heastie, Senator Panepinto, Senator Kennedy, Assemblymember Peoples-Stokes, Assemblymember Ryan, and Assemblymember Kearns. � + o—SCD �.LLc.3 .�.c; , c - i Darius G.Pridgei David A Rivera hrist her P. canlon Council President Majority Leader President Pro Tempore Ellicott Council Member Niagara Council Member South Council Member <- 2 " Richard A.Fontana David A.Franczyk oseph Golomhek,Jr. Lovejoy Council Member Fill re Council Member North Council Membei d Joel P.Feroleto Ulysees 0.Wingo,Sr. Rasheed N.C.Wyatt Delaware Council Member Masten Council Member University Council Member page! 1 or 1 APINFD 1 ° i City Clerk's Department BUFFALO November 25,2015 HON.
