2.9 Listed, Endangered, or Threatened Species

 A search was performed on the NYSDEC Environmental Resource Mapper on April 16, 2026, and
 determined that the project site may contain threatened or endangered species, or critical habitat.
 An Environmental Resource Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-4.

 2.10 Historic Places

 A search on the New York State Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) database, performed on
 April 16, 2026, revealed the construction activity is located within an archeologically sensitive area A
 printout of the historic places screening map is presented in Appendix A, as Figure A-3. As such,
 NYSOPRHP coordination has been completed and a Phase 1 Archeological Survey was conducted on
 June 22, 2023 by archeologist. A copy of the NYSOPRHP documentation, in accordance with Part I.A.4.
 of GP-0-25-001, is provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-3A upon receipt.

 2.11 Rainfall Data

 Rainfall data utilized in the modeling and analysis was obtained from the Cornell University online
 Extreme Precipitation in New York & New England website (http://precip.eas.cornell.edu/). A local IDF
 file was imported, and specific mass curves were generated, in HydroCAD to evaluate the pre- and
 post-development stormwater runoff characteristics. Rainfall data specific to the portion of Erie
 County under consideration, for various 24-hour storm events, is presented in the following Table:

  Table 3: Rainfall Data
  Storm Event  24-Hour Rainfall
  Return Period  (inches)
  1-year  1.82
  10-year  3.14
  100-year  5.22

 2.12 Pre-development Watershed Conditions

 The pre-development project site is covered predominantly by buildings, pavement, grass, and woods.
 Analysis of pre-development conditions considered existing drainage patterns, soil types, ground
 cover, and topography. The Pre-Development Watershed Delineation Map has been provided in
 Appendix A, as Figure A-5.

 The results of the computer modeling used to analyze the overall watershed under pre-development
 conditions are presented in Appendix D. A summary of the pre-development watershed runoff rates at
 each Design Point is presented in Table 10.

 Subcatchment one is a 3.38± acre watershed consisting of grass and pavement. Runoff flows south
 overland via sheet and shallow concentrated flow toward a swale and catch basin at the southeast
 corner of the site. This subcatchment is tributary to Design Point (AP) 1.

 Subcatchment two is a 7.74± acre watershed consisting of grass, pavement, and multiple buildings.
 Runoff flows west overland via sheet and shallow concentrated flow toward Cayuga Creek west of the
 site. This subcatchment is tributary to Design Point (AP) 1.
