DEC Wetlands Map See Figure 2 in the Delineation Report - No portions of any DEC regulated freshwater wetlands or Article 15 regulated streams exist within the Project Area

Soil Survey Map See Figure 3 in the Delineation Report - According to the Schoharie County soils information as detailed on the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey 23 (the Soil Survey) there are three (3) separate soil series that are found on the Site The soils are Chippewa and Norwich stony silt loam with 0 to 3 percent slopes (ChA) Lordstown Oquaga and Nassau soils with 35-70 percent slopes (LrF) and Mardin channery silt loam with 2 to 35 percent slopes (McB McD and McE respectively)

Wetland Connectivity with RPWs and TNWs

The wetland is positioned in a valley positioned between two upland ridges The wetland drains eastward towards Cole Hollow Road A culvert is positioned under the road which directs excess surface water to lands south and east of Cole Hollow Road The off-site drainage continues via a vegetated wetland swale to Cole Hollow Brook which is located approximately 500 feet southeast of the Site

Cole Hollow Brook is a second order perennial tributary of Schoharie Creek Cole Hollow Brook flows east and dispenses directly into Schoharie Creek approximately 1 mile east of the Site Schoharie Creek is a fourth order perennial tributary (Relatively Permanent Waterway - RPW) Schoharie Creek flows to the north and directly into the Mohawk River The Mohawk River is classified as a Traditional Navigable Waterway (TNW) by the USACE Therefore it has been determined that the on-site wetlands are hydrologically contiguous with a tributary system of a navigable waterway

Potential Pollutants

During the field review NCES did not identify any contaminants or visible point sources of pollution on the property Potential road salt pollution and small debris from Cole Hollow Road may be found along the roadway right-of-way adjacent to the southern and eastern property boundary However there were no visible signs at the time of the delineation Other than typical roadside litter no pollutants were observed by NCES

Habitat For Species

During the site assessments NCES documented a variety of wildlife species on the Site The species observed are extremely common and included white-tailed deer wild turkey coyote and various woodland and early successional field associated songbirds During the delineation no endangered threatened or rare species of flora or fauna were observed byNCES

Wetland Connectivity with RPWs and TNWs

The wetland is positioned in a valley positioned between two upland ridges The wetland drains eastward towards Cole Hollow Road A culvert is positioned under the road which directs excess surface water to lands south and east of Cole Hollow Road The off-site drainage continues via a vegetated wetland swale to Cole Hollow Brook which is located approximately 500 feet southeast of the Site

Cole Hollow Brook is a second order perennial tributary of Schoharie Creek Cole Hollow Brook flows east and dispenses directly into Schoharie Creek approximately 1 mile east of the Site Schoharie Creek is a fourth order perennial tributary (Relatively Permanent Waterway - RPW) Schoharie Creek flows to the north and directly into the Mohawk River The Mohawk River is classified as a Traditional Navigable Waterway (TNW) by the USACE Therefore it has been determined that the on-site wetlands are hydrologically contiguous with a tributary system of a navigable waterway

Potential Pollutants

During the field review NCES did not identify any contaminants or visible point sources of pollution on the property Potential road salt pollution and small debris from Cole Hollow Road may be found along the roadway right-of-way adjacent to the southern and eastern property boundary However there were no visible signs at the time of the delineation Other than typical roadside litter no pollutants were observed by NCES

Habitat For Species

During the site assessments NCES documented a variety of wildlife species on the Site The species observed are extremely common and included white-tailed deer wild turkey coyote and various woodland and early successional field associated songbirds During the delineation no endangered threatened or rare species of flora or fauna were observed byNCES

Wetland Connectivity with RPWs and TNWs

The wetland is positioned in a valley positioned between two upland ridges The wetland drains eastward towards Cole Hollow Road A culvert is positioned under the road which directs excess surface water to lands south and east of Cole Hollow Road The off-site drainage continues via a vegetated wetland swale to Cole Hollow Brook which is located approximately 500 feet southeast of the Site

Cole Hollow Brook is a second order perennial tributary of Schoharie Creek Cole Hollow Brook flows east and dispenses directly into Schoharie Creek approximately 1 mile east of the Site Schoharie Creek is a fourth order perennial tributary (Relatively Permanent Waterway - RPW) Schoharie Creek flows to the north and directly into the Mohawk River The Mohawk River is classified as a Traditional Navigable Waterway (TNW) by the USACE Therefore it has been determined that the on-site wetlands are hydrologically contiguous with a tributary system of a navigable waterway

Potential Pollutants

During the field review NCES did not identify any contaminants or visible point sources of pollution on the property Potential road salt pollution and small debris from Cole Hollow Road may be found along the roadway right-of-way adjacent to the southern and eastern property boundary However there were no visible signs at the time of the delineation Other than typical roadside litter no pollutants were observed by NCES

Habitat For Species

During the site assessments NCES documented a variety of wildlife species on the Site The species observed are extremely common and included white-tailed deer wild turkey coyote and various woodland and early successional field associated songbirds During the delineation no endangered threatened or rare species of flora or fauna were observed byNCES

Site Location Map See Figure I in the Delineation Report - The Site is located along the northwestern side of Cole Hollow Road at the intersection of Cole Hollow Road and Spur Road in the Town of Blenheim Schoharie County New York

DEC Wetlands Map See Figure 2 in the Delineation Report - No portions of any DEC regulated freshwater wetlands or Article 15 regulated streams exist within the Project Area

Soil Survey Map See Figure 3 in the Delineation Report - According to the Schoharie County soils information as detailed on the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey 23 (the Soil Survey) there are three (3) separate soil series that are found on the Site The soils are Chippewa and Norwich stony silt loam with 0 to 3 percent slopes (ChA) Lordstown Oquaga and Nassau soils with 35-70 percent slopes (LrF) and Mardin channery silt loam with 2 to 35 percent slopes (McB McD and McE respectively)

Wetland Connectivity with RPWs and TNWs

The wetland is positioned in a valley positioned between two upland ridges The wetland drains eastward towards Cole Hollow Road A culvert is positioned under the road which directs excess surface water to lands south and east of Cole Hollow Road The off-site drainage continues via a vegetated wetland swale to Cole Hollow Brook which is located approximately 500 feet southeast of the Site

Cole Hollow Brook is a second order perennial tributary of Schoharie Creek Cole Hollow Brook flows east and dispenses directly into Schoharie Creek approximately 1 mile east of the Site Schoharie Creek is a fourth order perennial tributary (Relatively Permanent Waterway - RPW) Schoharie Creek flows to the north and directly into the Mohawk River The Mohawk River is classified as a Traditional Navigable Waterway (TNW) by the USACE Therefore it has been determined that the on-site wetlands are hydrologically contiguous with a tributary system of a navigable waterway

Potential Pollutants

During the field review NCES did not identify any contaminants or visible point sources of pollution on the property Potential road salt pollution and small debris from Cole Hollow Road may be found along the roadway right-of-way adjacent to the southern and eastern property boundary However there were no visible signs at the time of the delineation Other than typical roadside litter no pollutants were observed by NCES

Habitat For Species

During the site assessments NCES documented a variety of wildlife species on the Site The species observed are extremely common and included white-tailed deer wild turkey coyote and various woodland and early successional field associated songbirds During the delineation no endangered threatened or rare species of flora or fauna were observed byNCES
