Village of East Aurora Water System Improvements July 2026 SEQRA Part 3 Supporting Information 16.c. There is a completed emergency spill remediation, or a completed environmental site remediation on, or adjacent to, the site of the proposed action. Two closed petroleum spill sites associated with historical transformer oil releases are located along Cazenovia Street and Buffalo Road within the project area. In addition, a completed environmental remediation site associated with the former Mr. C's Dry Cleaners is located at 586 Main Street. All identified spill and remediation cases have been closed by the appropriate regulatory agencies. Construction activities in the vicinity of these sites will be conducted in accordance with applicable health and safety requirements and any necessary procedures for the handling and management of contaminated materials, should they be encountered. Based on the completed remediation status of these sites, significant adverse impacts are not anticipated. 17. Consistency with Community Plans No impacts were identified. The proposed action is consistent with existing Community Plans. 18. Consistency with Community Character No impacts were identified. The proposed action is consistent with the character of the surrounding community. Construction activities will be temporary and will generally be restricted to roadways and rights-of-way. The project will not result in any significant changes to community character and will significantly improve the Village’s water distribution system. 19. Impact on Disadvantaged Communities The proposed project is not located within or adjacent to a New York State designated Disadvantaged Community. Accordingly, the proposed action is not expected to result in adverse or disproportionate impacts to disadvantaged communities. 20. Future Climate Risks The proposed project is not expected to increase exposure to future climate-related hazards or reduce the resilience of the surrounding area. The project consists of improvements to existing public water infrastructure and will not result in new development or land use changes that would increase vulnerability to future climate risks. 12
