1.0 INTRODUCTION

ESS Group, Inc. (ESS) has prepared this Wetland Delineation Report on behalf of West Point Partners, LLC (WPP) for the West Point Transmission Project (“the Project”). The Project is an approximately 80 mile long high voltage electric transmission facility that will connect the existing National Grid Leeds Substation in the Town of Athens, Greene County, New York, and the existing Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Buchanan North Substation located adjacent to the Indian Point Energy Center in the Village of Buchanan, Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, New York. For approximately 77 miles of its length, the Project will be buried under the bed of the Hudson River (see Figure 1).

The Project will feature a high voltage (320 kV) direct current (“DC”) cable buried for most of its route in the bed of the Hudson River and will use Voltage Source Conversion-High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) technology for controllability, voltage stability, and efficiency.

In addition to the 320 kV HVDC submarine cable system, the Project will include land-based HVDC cables connecting the submarine cable at each terminus to a VSC HVDC converter station; VSC-HVDC converter stations at each end of the HVDC cable system, close to the points of interconnection at the Leeds and Buchanan North substations; and buried 345 kV AC lines connecting the converter stations to buses in the Leeds and Buchanan North Substations.

ESS delineated wetlands along the proposed cable route in April 2013 to support the project engineering design and environmental permit applications. Wetland resources areas that fall under the jurisdiction of the New York Freshwater Wetlands Act (Article 24, Title 23 of Article 71 of the Environmental Conservation Law) and the federal Clean Water Act (Section 404) were delineated in the field.

2.0 WETLAND DELINEATION METHODS

2.1 Desktop Data Review

Prior to conducting the field investigation, ESS initially identified the potential extent of wetlands and waterbodies through a desktop review of available GIS data and wetland resource maps. Following this initial review, wetlands areas within the Project Area were delineated in the field during site visits conducted in April 2013. Desktop data sources reviewed included the following:

• NYSDEC Freshwater Wetland Maps: Wetlands must meet a minimum size requirement of 12.4 acres (5 hectares) in order to fall under the jurisdiction of the NYSDEC. These mapped wetlands are also ranked into environmental sensitivity and protection classes based on the functions and values they provide according to the NYSDEC. The higher the wetland classification, the greater the benefit that wetland provides. Lower class wetlands within the NYSDEC rating system also provide important

benefits, but typically are not as important for resource protection purposes as are the higher rated wetlands. See Figures 2 and 3 for indication of NYSDEC freshwater wetlands in the vicinity of the Southern and Northern Land Cable Routes and Converter Stations.

• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps: NWI mapped wetlands are classified in accordance with the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al. 1979). Wetlands encountered along the Land Transmission Route include palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM) and palustrine scrub-shrub wetlands (PSS). Freshwater NWI mapped wetlands are generally jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and are regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). See Figures 2 and 3 for indication of NWI wetlands in the vicinity of the Southern and Northern Land Cable Routes and Converter Stations.

• NYSDEC Tidal Wetlands Maps of the Hudson River Estuary: The NYSDEC Hudson River Estuary Program mapped vegetated habitats of the Hudson River Estuary in collaboration with numerous partners. The location and associated boundaries of these tidal wetlands presented in this application are based on the Cornell Institute for Resource Information Sciences (IRIS) mapping (see Figure 4).

2.2 Wetland Delineation

ESS wetland scientists completed a delineation of wetlands and streams within the Project Area in April 2013. ESS determined that the Project Area for field delineation would be defined as wetlands and streams occurring within 50 feet of the Land Cable Route centerline. The methodologies outlined in the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (Version 2.0, 2012) and the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Delineation Manual, under Article 24 of the Freshwater Wetlands Act, were used to delineate wetlands.

Three criteria are typically required to document an area as wetland under the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987): (1) a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, (2) the presence of hydric soils, and (3) the presence of wetland hydrology. Details regarding the application of these techniques are provided below.

Hydrophytic Vegetation: The hydrophytic vegetation criterion is satisfied at a location if more than 50% of all the dominant species present within the vegetation unit have a wetland indicator status of obligate (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), or facultative (FAC). An OBL indicator status refers to plants that have a 99% probability of occurring in wetlands under natural conditions. An FACW indicator status refers to plants that usually occur in wetlands (67% to 99% probability) but occasionally are found elsewhere. A FAC indicator status refers to plants that are equally likely to occur in wetlands or elsewhere (estimated probability 34% to 66% for each).

Hydric Soils: The hydric soil criterion is satisfied at a location if soils in the area can be inferred or observed to have a high groundwater table, if there is evidence of prolonged soil saturation, or if there are any indicators suggesting a long-term reduced environment in the upper 18 inches of the soil profile. Hydric soil indicators from the Regional Supplement were used to identify whether a particular soil observed within a sample location met the hydric soil criteria.

Wetland Hydrology: The wetland hydrology criterion is satisfied at a location based on conclusions inferred from field observations that indicate that an area has a high probability of being inundated or saturated (flooded, ponded, or tidally influenced) long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the surface soil environment, especially within the root zone.



Wetlands were identified in the field by marking the wetland boundary with pink flagging, labeled “WETLAND DELINEATION”. Each flag was labeled in consecutive order. Flags were tied so that each flag was visible from the flag tied before and the flag tied after, generally 25 feet apart or less as boundaries dictated. The wetland flags were located using a sub-meter accurate, Trimble® GeoXT Global Positioning System.

Each wetland resource area was documented by completing a Wetland Determination Data Form (North Central and Northeast Region) from the Regional Supplement and by collecting photographs of both the wetland area and nearby upland area. Completed Wetland Determination Forms are provided in Attachment A. Representative photographs of delineated wetlands or streams are provided in Attachment B. The location of the wetland flags used to delineate the wetlands is shown on the Project Plans in Attachment C.

3.0 RESULTS

3.1 Freshwater Wetlands

The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) wetlands maps were initially used to identify freshwater wetland crossings along the Land portions of the Proposed Route. Soil surveys from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) for Westchester and Greene Counties were also reviewed to determine the extent of hydric soils within the Project Area. Wetlands were subsequently field-delineated at the Northern and Southern Converter Stations and along portions of the Land Transmission Cable Routes in April 2013. A section of the Northern Land Route from the Northern Landfall to 2nd Street will be evaluated for wetlands in the field at a future date.

The boundaries of four freshwater wetlands (Wetlands 2, 3, 4 & 7) and four streams/rivers (Wetlands 1, 5, 6 & 8) were delineated in the field within the Project Area.

Southern Land Transmission Cable Route—Westchester County

The NWI wetlands maps indicate that the Southern Land Transmission Cable Route in Westchester County does not cross any NWI–designated wetlands. The proposed Southern Converter Station location and Southern Land Route were inspected for any jurisdictional wetland areas that may not have been indicated in the NWI maps. The following wetlands in the vicinity of the Southern Land Cable Route and Southern Converter Station were delineated in the field and are displayed in Figure 2.

Wetland 2 – Wetland 2 is a very small, isolated emergent wetland (Cowardin classification: PEM5C) vegetated entirely by the non-indigenous species common reed. This wetland is located at the Southern Converter Station and appears to have been created as a result of historic earth moving and excavation activities at this heavily disturbed site. The primary hydrologic input to Wetland 2 is surface runoff from the adjacent slope. This wetland is not a NYSDEC mapped wetland, is less than 12.4 acres in size and is not of unusual local importance. Therefore this isolated wetland is not jurisdictional under the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act. It is isolated and not adjacent to a Water of the U.S. and therefore is also presumed non-jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

Wetland 3 – Wetland 3 is a scrub-shrub and emergent wetland (Cowardin classification: PSS1C/PEM2C) located adjacent to Broadway along the Southern Land Route. This wetland is located at the base of a steep slope that begins just off the shoulder of a roadway. Wetland 3 is vegetated with spicebush (Lindera benzoin), common reed, and skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). The soils within the wetland have a mucky mineral layer over a fine sandy loam.. Wetland 3 is not a NYSDEC mapped wetland, is less than 12.4 acres in size and is not of unusual local importance . Therefore this isolated wetland is not jurisdictional under the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act. It is isolated and not adjacent to a Water of the U.S. and therefore is also presumed non-jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.



Northern Land Transmission Cable Route—Greene County

The NWI mapping indicates that the Northern Land Transmission Cable Route in Greene County crosses a palustrine, emergent wetland (Cowardin classification: PEM1A/E) along Leeds Athens Road (Figure 3). The Land Cable Route passes adjacent to another mapped palustrine emergent wetland (PEM1A) in the section between the Leeds Substation and the Northern Converter Station. In addition, the existing Leeds Substation is bordered by a NYSDEC regulated wetland (HN-108) on three sides. HN-108 is designated a Class I wetland by the NYSDEC. The Northern Converter Station is located just to the east of this NYSDEC- designated wetland. The following wetlands in the vicinity of the Northern Land Cable Route and Northern Converter Station were delineated in the field and are displayed in Figure 3.

Wetland 4 – Wetland 4 is a large wet meadow (Cowardin classification: PEM2E) at the base of a steep slope off Flats Road Extension at the proposed Northern Converter Station location. Several areas of scrub-shrub, wetland vegetation (Cowardin classification: PSS1E) occur in the northern portions of this wetland. The wetland is currently used as pasture for a variety of livestock and appears to be mowed and maintained as a meadow. Saturated clay soils underlie most of the wet meadow areas supporting hydric soils conditions. Given its location at the base of the slope, the wetland is supported by groundwater recharge. As such Wetland 4 likely provides sediment retention as well as nutrient removal, retention and transformation from surrounding watershed runoff. Wetland 4 is delineated as part of the NYSDEC mapped wetland (HN-108). Wetland 4 is jurisdictional under both Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act.

Wetland 7 – Wetland 7 is a small roadside emergent wetland (Cowardin classification: PEM2E) and intermittent stream channel (Cowardin classification: R4) that is located in the shoulder on the north side of Leeds Athens Road. The intermittent stream channel runs under Leeds Athens Road via an existing culvert. This wetland is vegetated with the invasive species purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) and broadleaf cattails (Typha latifolia). This wetland is not a NYSDEC mapped wetland, is less than 12.4 acres in size and is not of unusual local importance. Therefore this wetland is not jurisdictional under the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act. Given its association with the intermittent stream that flows into the Hudson River, Wetland 7 is jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

3.2 Streams and Rivers

USGS maps were initially reviewed to determine whether any mapped perennial or intermittent streams occur within the Project Area. Stream locations were verified during field reconnaissance in April 2013.

There are no stream crossings or potential impact to streams along the Southern Land Route.

The Northern Land Transmission Cable Route crosses three mapped streams along Leeds Athens Road. The first is an intermittent stream that crosses the Northern Land Cable Route near the intersection with Howard Hall Road (Wetland 5); the second is a perennial stream that crosses the Northern Land Cable Route east of Spoorenburg Road (Wetland 6) and the third crosses the Northern Land Cable Route just west of Second Street (Wetland 8) (Figure 3). All three streams have a C classification from NYSDEC, which indicates they support fisheries and are suitable for non-contact recreation. None of the streams support trout or trout spawning according to the NYSDEC database. Corlaer Kill, a perennial stream and a pond (not delineated) are located just south of the existing Leeds Substation at the terminus of the Northern Land Cable Route (Figure 3).

The high water line was used as the principal criteria to delineate the boundaries of the Hudson River at the southern landfall (Wetland 1) and the three streams (Wetlands 5, 6 & 8) where they cross Leeds Athens Road. All of the following streams/rivers (“wetlands”) are considered jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act as Waters of the U.S. The Hudson River is also jurisdictional under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act.



Wetland 1 (waterbody - Hudson River) – The high water mark of the Hudson River was determined in the field at the Southern Landfall location. It should be noted that the banks of the Hudson River at this location have been altered by bulkheads and are not vegetated.

Wetland 1A (waterbody -Hudson River) – The Northern Landfall location will be delineated and investigated in the field at a future date.

Wetland 5 (waterbody – stream)– Wetland 5 is a 2 to 3-foot wide intermittent stream (Cowardin classification: R4) that runs under Leeds Athens Road via a culvert. This upper intermittent stream is characterized by a relatively steep slope and is dominated by a cobble and shale substrate. Stream banks are vegetated with scrub-shrub vegetation.

Wetland 6 (waterbody – stream) – Wetland 6 is an upper perennial stream (Cowardin classification: R3) that runs under Leeds Athens Road via a culvert and eventually flows in the Hudson River. The banks are vegetated with scrub-shrub vegetation and trees. The stream is approximately 20 to 25 feet wide and has a cobble and boulder streambed. There is evidence of accelerated bank erosion along the downstream side near the road crossing, likely due to higher flows from large rain events.

Wetland 8 (waterbody – stream)– Wetland 8 is an upper perennial stream (Cowardin classification: R3) that runs under Leeds Athens Road via a large culvert and eventually flows in the Hudson River. The stream is approximately 20 to 25 feet wide and has a boulder, cobble, and silt stream bed. The banks of Wetland 8 are vegetated with scrub-shrub vegetation and trees.

3.3 Tidal Wetlands

The locations of tidal wetlands of the Hudson River estuary were recently updated and mapped along the upper portions of the Hudson River by Cornell IRIS using 2007 photo-imagery. The location and associated boundaries of these tidal wetlands presented in this application are based on the IRIS mapping (see Figure 4).

Tidal wetlands are found in areas that are subject to tidal influence and are typically vegetated with plant species that are adapted to the cyclical flooding and ebbing of the tide. Tidal wetlands are located along much of the Hudson River estuary from the mouth of the river in New York City up to the Troy Dam in Troy, New York, approximately 160 miles upriver. Salinities within the tidally influenced portions of the Hudson River will vary depending on the location upriver with salinity decreasing the further upriver from New York Harbor’s Upper Bay. Tidal wetlands serve important wildlife and fisheries habitat within the Hudson River estuary. Tidal wetland systems along the Hudson River estuary are state-regulated wetlands under the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act (Environmental Conservation Law, Article 24) and the New York Tidal Wetlands Act (Environmental Conservation Law, §§ 1-0101, 3-0301, 25-0302). This type of wetland also falls under the jurisdiction of the USACE pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 under the Clean Water Act.

Tidal wetlands were mapped and classified by the IRIS into the following categories.

• Lower intertidal mix: Areas of vegetated lower intertidal wetland that may include Scirpus pungens, Sweetflag (Acorus calamus)/mix, and Polygonum sp.

• Upper intertidal mix: Areas of upper intertidal wetland mix that may include purple loosestrife/mix, Bulrush (Scirpus sp), Sweetflag/mix, and Polygonum sp.

• Phragmites australis: Areas dominated by the non-indigenous common reed (Phragmites australis).

• Scrub/Shrub: Areas of scrub/shrub wetland vegetation.

• Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Beds of submerged aquatic vegetation.



• Trapa Natans: Beds dominated by the non-indigenous water chestnut (Trapa natans).

• Typha angustifolia: Emergent wetland areas dominated by narrowleaf cattail.

• Unvegetated flats: Areas of unvegetated mud flats.

• Wooded Swamp: Areas of forested wetland.

Based on the tidal wetland mapping and field reconnaissance, there are no tidal wetlands present along the Hudson River in the vicinity of either of the proposed Landfall locations (Figure 4, Sheets 1 and 6).

Tidal wetlands do occur along the In-River Transmission Cable Route within the middle to lower sections of the Hudson River estuary. The most extensive area of mapped tidal wetlands occurs between river mile (RM) 107 and RM 118 (Figure 4, Sheet 1). Most of the tidal wetlands in this reach of the Hudson River consist of wooded swamps and lower intertidal emergent wetlands. Extensive beds of the non-indigenous and invasive species water chestnut occur in the coves in this area of the river. Stands of common reed, another non-indigenous species, also occur at scattered locations in backwater channels and coves, while stands of the native narrowleaf cattail occur along the immediate shorelines of the river in this area. Large named tidal wetlands along the Project Route include the Esopus Estuary, Tivoli Bays, Constitution Marsh, and Iona Island. The Esopus Estuary is located at the mouth of the Esopus Creek on the west side of the river in the town of Saugerties at RM 101 (Figure 4, Sheet 2). This tidal wetland complex consists of the lower 1.3 miles of Esopus Creek and includes shallow water, intertidal mudflats, tidal marsh, and tidal swamp both north and south of the creek mouth.

Tivoli Bays are a relatively large area of tidal wetlands that occur just south of the Esopus Estuary on the eastern side of the River between RM 97 and RM 101 (Figure 4, Sheet 2). Tivoli Bays habitats include freshwater intertidal marsh, open waters, riparian areas (lands along the Hudson River shoreline), subtidal shallows, mudflats, tidal swamp and mixed forest uplands (NYSDEC 2013 web page: [http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4915.html#NSTivoli]). These wetlands include a mix of wooded swamps and stands of cattails that border areas of SAV.

Constitution Marsh, a tidal wetland comprised of extensive stands of cattails and lower intertidal, emergent wetland vegetation, borders the Hudson River on its east side between RM 52 and RM 54 (Figure 4, Sheet 5).

Iona Island, another tidal wetland, is located between RM 45 and RM 46 (Figure 4, Sheet 6). Iona Island is comprised of brackish intertidal mudflats, brackish tidal marsh, freshwater tidal marsh, and deciduous forested uplands (NYSDEC 2013 web page: [http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4915.html#NSTivoli]). The Cornell mapping also indicates that stands of common reed occur at Iona Island.

3.4 Summary of Wetland Jurisdiction

This section provides a summary of the jurisdiction of the wetland areas delineated in the field in accordance with the definitions as contained in Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act (NYS Environmental Conservation Law Article 24) and New York State Stream Protection Act (NYS Environmental Conservation Law Article 15).

Following the field investigation, wetland maps were overlaid with state and federal maps of tributaries, creeks and rivers to identify connections between wetlands and traditional navigable waters (TNWs), non-navigable tributaries with relatively permanent waters (RPWs) and non-navigable tributaries with seasonal flow (seasonal RPWs). All of the wetlands and waterbodies delineated in the field, except for Wetlands 2 and 3, were determined to be hydrologically connected to flow into the Hudson River via connections to tributaries (either a RPW or a seasonal RPW). Therefore these wetlands are presumed to have a nexus with traditional navigable water (TNW) and are presumed jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.


Wetlands 2 and 3 are both small isolated wetlands and not adjacent to a Water of the U.S. and therefore are also presumed non-jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Table 1 presents a summary of the state and federal jurisdiction for each wetland area delineated within the Project Area.

4.0 WETLAND FUNCTIONS AND VALUES

This functional assessment was conducted for jurisdictional wetlands (Wetland 4 and 5) in accordance with the Wetlands Functions and Values: Descriptive Approach described in the September 1999 (NAEEP-360-1-30a) supplement to The Highway Methodology Workbook (Supplement) by the New England Division of the USACE. The wetlands delineated within the Project Area perform a range of functions, including groundwater recharge/discharge, floodflow alteration, sediment/toxicant retention, nutrient removal, production export and wildlife habitat. See Table 2 for the results of the wetland functional assessment.
