There are no Critical Environmental Areas located on the site or within Cayuga County.
CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES
Archaeologically Sensitive Area?
Approximately 80% of the site is located within an Archaeological Sensitive Area, as
mapped by the State Historic Preservation Office.
Nationally Registered or Eligible
Historic Site?
No National Register or National Register Eligible sites (that have been submitted for
consideration) are identified on the site.
Adjoining a Nationally Registered
or Eligible Historic Site?
No National Register or National Register Eligible sites are located on any adjoining
parcels to the site.
AGRICULTURAL
State Agricultural District
This site is not located within a State certified mapped agricultural district for Cayuga
County.
POTENTIAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
Section 404 Clean Water Act Nationwide or Individual Permit (USACE)
Section 401 Water Quality Certification (NYSDEC)
Article 15 Protection of Waters Permit for fill in Navigable Waters (NYSDEC)
Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Permit (NYSDEC)
State Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit (NYSDEC)
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS SUMMARY
A delineation of wetlands located both on-site and on adjacent parcels should be completed prior to any development of this
site. Based on the mapping resources it is apparent that both federal and State regulated wetlands are present on or
adjacent to the site and hydric soils are readily available. Any impacts to regulated wetlands in the future will require a
permit and project review by the USACE and NYSDEC. Potential project review and permitting may need to occur if any
future work will be located within a NYSDEC regulated wetland or its 100-foot buffer zone. Depending on the acreage of
impacts caused by development of the site, wetland or stream mitigation could be required. Mitigation requirements
generally are applicable when greater than 0.10-acre of wetland are permanently disturbed. A cultural/historic resource
review should be completed on-site prior to any development. A threatened and endangered species habitat assessment
should also be completed on site prior to development.

ROADWAY
Adjacent Roadway
Network
This proposed site consists of parcels which are adjacent to and divided by the NYS Thruway
(I-90). Parcels north of I-90 are bordered by NY Route 34 (NY-34) and Trombley Road, while
parcels south of I-90 are bordered NY-34 and Dunn Road. NY-34 services north-south flowing
traffic and both Trombley Road & Dunn Road run east-west, providing access to the proposed
sites. NY-34 north of I-90 is designated as a Minor Rural Arterial, but south of I-90 is considered
a Principal Rural Arterial by the NYSDOT. In addition, I-90 as well as NY-34 (south of I-90) are
mainlines within the National Highway System.
Traffic Count Data
The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) counts as measured in vehicles per day (vpd) from the
NYS Department of Transportation are as follows:
On NY-34 just south of I-90 the AADT was 11,635 vpd (July 2008).
Distance to Interstate
Highway Network
Access to the NYS Thruway (I-90) for eastbound and wesbound travel is adjacent to the site via
Exit 40 (Weedsport-Auburn- NY Route 34). For northbound and southbound travel, I-81 can be
accessed from I-90 in Syracuse, NY at Exit 36 (Watertown-Binghamton-I-81) which is
approximately 25 miles east.
Truck Routes
Interstate 90 and NY-34 serve as the primary trucking routes. Also, NY-31, which runs parallel
to the thruway, offers a toll-free east/west truck route.
Public Transit Stop Near
Site
CENTRO offers one weekday bus route (#38) between Weedsport and Syracuse via NY-34 and
NY-31 which is approximately less than 1 miles south of the site.
RAIL
Freight Rail Service
Summary
CSX Transportation (CSXT) operates a Class 1 freight railroad network in the Central New
York region. Specifically, the Chicago Main Line provides east/west rail services that link Central
New York with New York City, Boston and Chicago through the Syracuse Rail Yard. The St.
Lawrence Subdivision of the CSXT network provides north/south rail services linking Syracuse to
Massena, and ultimately Montreal from the Syracuse Rail Yard. The St. Lawrence Subdivision
junctions with the Fulton Subdivision which provides rail services to the Fulton and Oswego
areas. CSXT maintains rail yards in Selkirk and Syracuse, intermodal terminals in Syracuse and
Buffalo, and TRANSFLOW terminals in Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo, NY.
CNY is also served by the NYS&W rail line, a regional network that provides rail freight service
from the Syracuse area along a main line south to Binghamton and the NYC metropolitan area, as
well as the Finger Lakes Railway Corporation, a short line rail network that provides freight rail
service from the Syracuse area to Western New York and Pennsylvania.
