Using the information available and comparing it with the thresholds

As a Type 1 action, Part 1 and Part 2 of the Long Form EAF has been prepared by the Town Engineer to determine the
significance of the proposed action.
6.
The proposed action is not located in a coastal area.

JUNE 14, 2012
8.
A coordinated review for Type 1 actions involving a single agency has
been performed.
9.
The Macedon Town Board is the lead agent.
10. The Macedon Town Board
hereby determines that the proposed action is in general conformance with the
adopted town-wide Master Plan, and will not result in any significant adverse

hereby directs the Town Clerk to immediately file the determination in
accordance with section 6 NYCRR 617.12.
11. In reaching this finding,
the Town Board has:
(a) Considered the action as defined in sections 6 NYCRR 617.2 (b) and

(b) Reviewed the EAF,
the criteria contained in subdivision 6 NYCRR 617.7 (c) and any other

significant adverse impact on the environment; and,
(d) Set forth its determination of significance in
this resolution, in addition to the corresponding long environmental assessment
form.
12. In determining significance,
the Town Board has determined whether the proposed Type 1 Action may have a
significant adverse impact on the environment, the impacts that may be
reasonably expected to result from the proposed action compared against the
criteria in 6 NYCRR 617. The criteria
considered indicators of significant adverse impacts on the environment were:

(b) The removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; impacts on a significant wildlife habitat area; substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse impacts to the natural resources;
(c) The impairment of the environmental characteristics of a critical environmental area as designated pursuant to section 617.14 (g);
(d) The creation of a material conflict with a community’s current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted;

(i) The encouraging or attracting of a large number of people to a place or places for more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action;
(j) The creation of material demand for other actions that would result in one or the above consequences;
NO. 12 PAGE 5
JUNE 14, 2012
(k) Changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment; or
(l) Two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria of this subdivision.
13. For the purposes of determining whether an action may cause one of the consequences listed above, the Town Board considered reasonably related long-term, short-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts, including other simultaneous or subsequent actions, which were;
(a)
Included in any long range plan of which the action under consideration
is a part;
(b)
Likely to be undertaken as a result thereof, or
(c)
Dependent thereon.
14. In addition, the Town Board considered the significance of a likely consequence (i.e., whether it is material, substantial, large or important) should be assessed in connection with:
(a)
Its setting (e.g., urban or rural);
(b)

(c)

(d)
Its irreversibility;
(e)
Its geographic scope;
