DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING 215 N. Tioga St 14850 607.273.1747 www.town.ithaca.ny.us TO: Planning Board Members FROM: Christine Balestra, Planner DATE: March 14, 2023 RE: The Learning Farm Proposal, 272 Enfield Falls Road – Site Plan, Special Permit Enclosed please find materials related to the consideration of Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval and Special Permit for the proposed Learning Farm project located at 272 Enfield Falls Road. The proposal involves the development of a learning kitchen building and educational spaces, up to ten guest structures, associated gravel and grassed parking areas, trails, walkways, lighting, and stormwater management facilities. The Town Board adopted modifications to the Town Code in 2022 to allow Agritourism uses by right in the Agricultural Zone, along with seasonal farm lodging facilities by Special Permit issued by the Planning Board. This was in response to a request by the applicant (letter attached). The Town Planning Committee discussed and supported the proposed changes. The revised Town Code §270-29.N and §270-30, along with revised definitions, are included in the enclosures. The proposed Agritourism programming and Seasonal farm facilities offered by The Learning Farm are permitted with approval by the Planning Board (other proposed structures and uses at The Learning Farm property are permitted as of right). Thus, portions of the project require Site Plan/Special Permit approval and portions do not. To simplify, the application materials show the project elements as Phase I and Phase II. The Planning Board approval process only applies to Learning Farm’s Phase I project elements, except for item “C” under the “Proposed Plan” (see attached memo written by Aleksandr Mergold). Item C is considered part of the Farm/Agritourism use permitted by right, so it is exempt from Planning Board review. Similarly, all of Phase II is considered part of the farm/agritourism use and is also exempt from Planning Board review. To summarize the Planning Board may consider approval of the following: A. Learning kitchen building (earth-bermed) – technically part of the Farm use by right, but contains bathroom facilities for the guest yurts, per §270-30, so Planning Board will review/consider. B. Guest structures/yurts on platforms – Planning Board will review/consider per §270-30. C. Barn conversion - exempt from review/Planning Board approval per §270-29. D. Gravel and grassed parking, trails, etc. - Planning Board will review/consider per §270-30. E. Septic systems/stormwater swales - Planning Board will review/consider. Regarding “E”, the Town Engineering Department has approved a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the whole project (including Phase II) and has reported that the project has received a sewer exemption. Should the board approve the project, the department has suggested a condition of approval related to stormwater facilities that is included in the attached draft resolution. 2 The enclosures include a completed environmental review and draft resolutions for the project. Please feel free to call me at (607) 273-1721, extension 121, or email me at cbalestra@town.ithaca.ny.us if you have any questions prior to the meeting. Cc: Christa Nunez Aleksandr Mergold PROJECT NARRATIVE 1 of 4 THE LEARNING FARM DRAFT – August 1, 2022 REVISION – August 11, 2022 REVISION -- August 29, 2022 Project Description The Learning Farm’s mission The proposed site development plan consists of a variety of small-scale educational infrastructure, building and landscape interventions into the existing 16-acre farmstead to support children and their families in gaining needed understanding and growth in food production abilities and healing nature connection to support healthy lifestyles as part of the Learning Farm’s mission of equitable food production and consumption education. The Learning Farm is black-owned, woman-owned, and its founders have African American and Indigenous farming histories. Nurturing relationships with self, nature, family, and community are important as are deeply-rooted access to learning moments that balance these elements at a young age. To at-risk youth, learning experiences in nature are especially dignity-affirming as they impart unique agency over, and understanding of, external factors that impact health such as food segregation and systemic urbanization. Throughout the site-specific programming, a community of land stewards, academics, and practitioners will support the development of place and program in an effort to reverse systems that perpetuate health injustice across several sectors of society. This key tenet of our methodology will be implemented through the teaching of historical record around food and land, hunger and poverty, and historically practical solutions such as farm cooperatives and CSAs as a means to teach life skills such as cooperation, historical analysis as well as the importance of soil health, water retention, plant diversification and the value of companion planting. Proposed Plan The plan provides for an educational learning center which will include: In Phase I A. A single, approx. 2500 SF, learning kitchen building, with rest room, bathing and laundering facilities for the students and visitors of the Learning Farm B. Ten (10) guest structures of approx. 675 SF each with approx. 100 SF porch on raised platforms C. Conversion of existing barn and silo structures (approx. 1500 SF) into an educational space (classrooms – The Learning Barn) D. Associated gravel and grassed, parking, trails, and walkways for Phase I E. Required septic systems and stormwater retention swales In Phase II F. An approx. 5000 SF Welcome Center G. An approx. 5000 SF juicing/bottling building H. Associated gravel and grassed, parking, trails, and walkways for Phase II PROJECT NARRATIVE 2 of 4 www.mergold.work The Learning Kitchen (A) will be used as a means to support nutritious cooking classes for small groups of K-12 students in two cohorts of twenty students each (max. of 40 total students on-site) as well as small-scale product development. This building will act as the educational, research and development hub of the site. The guest structure (B) dwellings will house families for farm immersion stays to learn key aspects of sustainable agriculture, healthy food service and community food systems creation. The Learning Barn (C) will provide additional space and case-study for learning about agriculture. The Welcome Center (F) is planned to create a space to welcome visitors as well as teach hospitality skills and the cultivation of a spirit of welcome to family program participants. A small-scale juice production facility (G) is planned to accommodate juice making as well as business development workshops for program participants and small K-12 student groups in learning about how organic retail juice is made and put on the market. Additionally, a green focus permeates the plan so that buildings will be constructed in an ecologically-sound manner and all trails will be kept natural to limit the impact of hardscape surfaces in the environment. Phase I A – Learning Kitchen The proposed building will be a single-story earth-sheltered and naturally lighted space, that besides the kitchen, also houses food processing, production and refrigeration spaces, office, staff lounge, staff and visitor bathrooms. Under the same roof, but separated by an enclosed breezeway, is a fully accessible bathing block, serving the proposed guest dwellings (B) and converted Learning Barn (C) at the Farm. The building is accessed from the existing parking area that will be upgraded. In front of the new kitchen building, facing south-east, will be an open (shaded) brick patio with an exterior fireplace. The planted green roof over the kitchen will be gently sloped to allow visitor access from the west; on the roof, the visitors will be able to observe the kitchen operation below through large, glazed monitors/skylights. The minimal excavation will be used to shelter the western walls of kitchen and become a planning bed in front of the sloping green roof. This new building will become part of the existing collection of farm buildings (barn, silo, house, etc.) already dedicated to the Learning Farm operation. Inspired by farm construction techniques (i.e. bank barn) this will be a contemporary interpretation of the historical agrarian building, where ingenuity of adaptive reuse and re-imaging of existing materials will combine with the cutting edge building technology and energy efficiency. As a multifunctional space – a place of learning, gathering, food celebration – the Learning Kitchen will be a dynamic and energized destination for both local community of Ithaca and visitors alike. B – Guest Structure Dwellings Proposed cluster of seasonal dwellings are prefabricated yurts that will be places of wood- framed platforms that will allow no or minimal excavation of the site. The yurts, perched on the hilly area on the north end of the site will have expansive views of the Farm. Laundry and bathing facilities will be provided at the Learning Kitchen Building (A). PROJECT NARRATIVE 3 of 4 www.mergold.work C – The Learning Barn Preservation and adaptive reuse of these antebellum structures will be exemplifying the Learning Farm’s appreciation of historical farming practices and providing additional spaces for education and instruction. Bathroom and bathing facilities will be provided at the Learning Kitchen Building (A). Phase II The Welcome Center (F) and the Juicing Building (G) are planned for a later development, pending completion of Phase I and funding. These structures will be located in the lower, south-east corner of the farm. While proximate to the principal Farm buildings, they will also form a separate agricultural processing cluster with it own directed access to Enfield Falls Rd via existing dedicated driveway. Zoning Compliance (see attached table) The AG (Agricultural) zoning district has varying lot size minimums and allows buildings to cover 10% of their lot. The height allowance is 38’ above grade plane. There is a 30’ front yard requirement, 40’ side yard requirement, and 50’ rear yard requirement, as well as 50’ adjacent stream setback. The lot is 16.22 acres or 706,543 SF, and the existing building footprint currently occupy 3685 SF allowing for additional 66,969 SF of coverage. The proposed buildings are located well within the setbacks, within height limits above proposed grade and designed to appear to be a part of the existing landscape. Parking be located in the areas that are in for the most part already used as such but will be better defined; the proposal is to consider using maximally- permeable parking surfaces like grass-crete and/or gravel. Allowed Uses AG zone allows non-retail use related to agriculture without a special permit and seasonal farm lodging by special permit. Our proposed educational, dwelling and food production facilities educational that support the Learning Farm’s mission fall under AG primary farm use, as well as accessory uses of Agritourism, and Seasonal farm lodging. Stormwater & Landscape In principal, we proposed best practice strategy that uses minimal excavation and retention of existing naturally-formed site hydrology, green roofs that slow and directs runoff to the vegetated side yard to filter stormwater prior to its entry into the creek below. The treatment of horizontal surfaces – roofs, patios, parking spaces decks – has the storm-water and restorative agriculture practices in mind. In we are proposing the use of vegetated roof and planted slow-release swale, in addition to maximally-permeable materials for all horizontal surfaces. Utilities and Energy The water will be supplied by the existing well on site, and the proposal is considering offsetting/supplementing electricity usage by solar array directly on the site or via subscription into an existing array off-site. New septic systems are proposed on site. Heating and cooling PROJECT NARRATIVE 4 of 4 www.mergold.work systems will be provided through passive heating/cooling, electric fans and in-floor radiant heat and a back-up electric heat pump system yet to be designed. Traffic The impact on automobile traffic of the new buildings is expected to be negligible relative to the traffic levels already present on Enfield Falls Rd. Community Benefits - The new buildings and landscapes will help the Learning Farm’s mission by providing dedicated educational spaces, creating several local jobs, and providing restroom and bathing facilities to the proposed camping spots – this making this already desired and popular summer learning destination a much more comfortable and exciting experience - The new buildings and outdoor spaces will be able to support local community events and functions throughout the year - Proximity to Robert H. Treman State Park adds another recreational destination for locals and visitors alike in the area Town of Ithaca 215 N. Tioga St. Ithaca, NY 14850 Dear Town of Ithaca Board, We are a small, local 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization focused on the growing of environmental and human rights literacy, self-sufficiency and healthy lifestyles in young people and their families. To support this work, we are eager to develop this sustainably-run farm space, in an ecologically-sound style, as an agricultural center to preserve the healthy pursuit of life on land for socially disadvantaged youth and families. Our five year needs are as follows: ●Youth and family agriculture training programming - youth after school and summer program, weekend visits for families ●10 small temporary family dwellings for summer stays ●Commercial / teaching kitchen for garden produce use and nutrition education Our five-ten year plans include the following: ●A welcome and learning center / farm stand The plan is for up to forty kids plus 1 teacher per 10 children (4) / 1 administrator / 1 farm manager and 1 farm assistant to be on-site and involved with the various educational programs each season. The After School program will operate according to the ICSD school calendar - Late August - Late June M-F 2-5:30pm except during school holidays and off days. The Summer Program will operate during Summer for the last 5 weeks the ICSD school calendar designates as summer break. Late July - Late August Mon-Fri 8am-5:30pm Family farming programming will occur the first 5 weeks of Summer Late June - Late July for 5 consecutive week-long stays. The existing property is comprised of 15.5 acres of mixed-use land. Approx. 6 acres of arable agriculture land planted currently in perennial fruit trees, grapevines, berry bushes and annual and perennial vegetables, culinary herbs and fruit beds. Plans are to further develop these plots along the same lines in future. There is approx. 7 acres of forest and creek-scape land that will remain untouched and will be used for forest and riparian / watershed study, art, meditation, self-reflection and a small site for mushroom logs. There is approx. 2 acres of rocky / gravel open field on which we’d like to site a welcome and learning center / farm stand. All of the land at present and in future will be used for educational and small group / family natural world recreation purposes. Existing structures include a farm house where the administrator ’s family lives year round, a barn with storage areas and two finished rooms for gathering in inclement weather, a 400 sq. ft. cottage for the farm manager and a shed. Current animals on the farm include 2 Nigerian Dwarf Goats and 27 chickens. Future plans for animals include a pony and two female sheep. All animals and plants are used for environmental stewardship and sustainable agricultural teaching purposes. A diverse array of young people come to the farm for after school and summer programming. Some families pay for registration and others are free, depending on financial need and any family histories of marginalization or social disadvantage. The ten families per year participating in Summer 5 week stays are families from diverse backgrounds - mainly food insecure black, white, Indigenous,people of color who are seeking to make lifestyle changes with regard to their work and food systems interactions. They are mainly Tompkins County residents who have experienced systemic racism or other forms of economic marginalization and its impacts on their housing and food sources. They are looking to live and behave more sustainably with regard to their impacts on the natural environment and feel it is important to have power and agency in the protection of our environment and in the development of healthier food and housing interactions.They would be staying on the farm for a five-week intensive practicum in order to gain valuable knowledge and practice in sustainable agriculture and environmentally protective methods of living. They are eager to make changes and eager to engage with energy efficiency and renewables as well as community development work. Ten (10) small temporary dwellings for Summer stays will be yurt-style structures to house a single families between approximately 2-6 people.A camp/composting toilet, sink and shower would be provided in each dwelling, along with a kitchenette with a mini fridge and counter space for minimal food prep. No stove. People will learn about sustainable agriculture, ag and green business development and ecological living and develop a positive personal connection with nature and farmland. A 1,000 sq. ft. commercial kitchen will be used as a means to support nutritious cooking classes for small groups of K-12 students in two cohorts of twenty students each (40 total students on-site) as well as small-scale product development.Two families at a time will utilize the kitchen for group meal preparation. One of our family programs includes field trips to neighboring farms for children and their parents and caregivers to learn about where their food comes from and how they can be a more integral part of our local food production system.We partner with these local farms and farming and youth development organizations in order to provide this aspect of our program: The Youth Farm Project Groundswell Center for Local Food and Farming Pressbay Alley Food Hub Wellspring Forest Farm Van Noble Farm Here We Are Farm The existing barn has two classrooms which are used for shelter purposes for programming for 50 people split over the two rooms during inclement weather. I have been told by Town of Ithaca staff that the described uses are currently not allowed in our applied zoning. Because we believe this is a beneficial use as well as a neighbor and community supported use for this property, we are requesting a special zoning provision to make space for this unique work that we seek to do. Though the type of land use that we are requesting does not fit any zoning models the Town of Ithaca currently has, our goals align very closely with those of the Town’s regarding the promotion of agricultural uses of land in Ithaca’s surrounding farmland. We look forward to hearing from you on this matter.Please reach out with any questions or with any further information needed to inform your decision to consider ways to make a change in zoning.

The physical project elements include the construc on of 10 seasonal guest structures (yurts on pla orms), along with a par ally earth-bermed building that will contain bathrooms and a learning kitchen. The site layout will also contain associated trails, walkways, parking areas, and stormwater management facili es. The farm and some of the educa onal uses currently operate in several exis ng buildings and barns on the property. The construc on of another building and guest facili es to accommodate an expanded program will slightly increase the intensity of the use of the land by having more structures and people on the property than currently exists. However, the guest structures will be seasonal and only used by families of the students in the summer; the program itself is only for a few hours a er-school and in the summer; and the program is limited to a specific number of people on site (40 students maximum, plus 4 teachers, a farm manager, an administrator, and a farm assistant). There are no expected significant adverse environmental impacts with the increase in the use of land or the intensity of the use of land. The proposed earth-bermed building will be constructed behind the exis ng barn, north of the exis ng gravel turnaround area, where the ground is sloped. The proposed guest structures will be located west of the new building, tucked behind exis ng vegeta on. The exis ng gravel turnaround will be expanded to include a small parking lot, located behind the exis ng home. The property is rela vely flat and clear of large trees and vegeta on in the areas proposed for construc on. There is one large deciduous tree adjacent to the proposed building that will remain and will be protected during construc on. There are no expected significant adverse environmental impacts to exis ng vegeta on. The proposed building is a very low-profile structure with natural-colored and textured materials, par ally earth-bermed with a vegetated roof. The guest structures are seasonal yurts, made of natural materials, and designed for removal once the season has ended. The proposed ligh ng consists of short bollard pathway lights, wall-mounted lights, and angled reflector lights. All proposed ligh ng will comply with the Town Outdoor Ligh ng Law, and any LED's will be a maximum 3000k color temperature. Visual impacts are expected to be minimal, considering the designs and that most of the project will be constructed behind exis ng structures and vegeta on, and will not be easily seen from the road. The proposal will involve a slight increase in traffic, based on the development of the educa onal program and of on-site guest structures. However, as noted, the program is only an a er-school and summer program, with a limited number of students, and families only visi ng during the summer months. The parking and circula on layout is well defined with the proposed plan, with delineated parking spaces that are expected to accommodate all users of the property. There are no expected significant adverse impacts related to traffic, parking, or circula on. Regarding Part 1, Ques on 13a: There is a stream located along the north/east property boundary that is regulated by the Town's Stream Setback Law. This stream is also within a Tompkins County Unique Natural Area (UNA-145 Steep Hollow). The UNA comprises the rear 200 feet of the property along the north/east boundary. The project will be located outside of the UNA and the required stream setback. The project includes rain gardens, diversion swales, and other protec ons that will mi gate any impacts to the UNA and stream during and post construc on. PROPOSED RESOLUTION Preliminary Site Plan Approval & Special Permit The Learning Farm Tax Parcel No. 33.-1-24.1 272 Enfield Falls Road Town of Ithaca Planning Board, March 21, 2023 WHEREAS: 1. This action involves consideration of Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval and Special Permit for the proposed Learning Farm Agritourism and Seasonal farm lodging facility project located at 272 Enfield Falls Road. The proposal involves the development of a learning kitchen building and educational spaces, up to ten guest structures, associated gravel and grassed parking areas, trails, and walkways, lighting, and stormwater management facilities. Christa Nunez, Khuba International, Owner/Applicant; Aleksandr Mergold, AIA, Agent; 2. This is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Planning Board, as lead agency in the environmental review with respect to the project, has on March 21, 2023, made a negative determination of environmental significance, after having reviewed and accepted as adequate a Short Environmental Assessment Form Part 1, submitted by the applicant, and Parts 2 and 3 prepared by the Town Planning staff; and 3. The Planning Board, at a public hearing held on March 21, 2023, has reviewed and accepted as adequate a narrative, a set of drawings titled “The Learning Farm,” including sheets A1-A5, dated 05-03-2022; sheets A500-A503, dated 22 July 2022; sheet A001, dated 1 August 2022; sheets A100, A110, A300, A301, A400, A401, dated 19 September 2022; sheets SW1-SW7, dated Jan.19, 2023; sheets A000, A010, E000, and FP001, dated February 27, 2023; and other application materials; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Planning Board hereby finds that the Special Permit standards of Article XXIV Section 270-200, Subsections A – H, of the Town of Ithaca Code, have been met, specifically that: A. The project will be suitable for the property on which it is proposed, considering the property’s size, location, and physical site characteristics. The property is large enough to accommodate the project. It is currently utilized as a farm and is an adequate location, with site characteristics suitable for the proposed structures and farm-related uses. B. The proposed structure design and site layout are compatible with the surrounding area. The proposed structures are designed to blend in and be compatible with the surrounding rural area, with natural materials and colors, and earth-berming for the main building. The project is largely located off the road and behind existing structures, so it will be somewhat hidden from the surrounding area. C. Operations in connection with the proposed use do not create any more noise, fumes, vibration, illumination, or other potential nuisances than the operation of any permitted use in the zone. The proposed project will create similar potential nuisances that any farm use would create. Noise, illumination, fumes, etc. are mitigated by the seasonal (after-school and summer) aspect of the use. D. Community infrastructure and services, such as police, fire and other protective services, roadways, schools, and water and sewer facilities are currently, or will be, of adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed use. The proposal has received a sewer exemption from the Town of Ithaca. All other community infrastructure and services are of adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed use. E. The proposed use, structure design, and site layout will comply with all the provisions of the Town Code and with the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan. F. The site layout, with proposed vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access, traffic circulation, and parking and loading facilities, is sufficient for the proposed use and is safely designed for emergency vehicles. The project includes expanding an existing driveway to create a looped access with parking. All accessways have been safely designed for emergency vehicles. G. The project includes sufficient landscaping and/or other forms of buffering to protect surrounding land uses. Existing vegetation is preserved to the extent possible. There will be minimal tree and vegetation loss associated with the project; and the project will be largely hidden behind existing vegetation and other structures. There is no need for additional landscaping or buffering. H. To the extent deemed relevant by the Planning Board, the proposed use or structure complies with all the criteria applicable to site plan review set forth in Chapter 270, Zoning. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby grants Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval for the proposed Learning Farm project at 272 Enfield Falls Road, as described in the materials listed in Whereas #3 above, subject to the following condition: a. Before the issuance of any building permits, submission, review, and execution of an Operation, Maintenance and Reporting agreement for the proposed stormwater management facilities, specifying the ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the stormwater system, including: (i) Submission of an access easement to assure Town of Ithaca access to the stormwater facilities, and (ii) Town Board authorization to allow the Town Supervisor to sign any necessary easements and the stormwater Operation, Maintenance, and Reporting Agreement associated with the project. MEMORANDUM To: Town of Ithaca Planning Board From: The Town of Ithaca Conservation Board - Environmental Review Committee Date: 11/28/2022 RE: The Learning Farm In reviewing the application for The Learning Farm at 272 Enfield Falls Road, the Environmental Review Committee noted that the answer to #8a on Short EAF says there will be a substantial increase in traffic while in the narrative document on page 4 under “Traffic” it says it is expected to be relatively negligible. Additional details a re needed to clarify the current inconsistency. We applaud The Learning Farms’ mission to support equitable food production and consumption education as well as the plans to include features like a green roof and bioswale in the site development. The answer to #17 on Short EAF states that stormwater will flow into adjacent properties. We encourage The Learning Farm to implement an approach to evaluating the effectiveness of the features after implementation and consider if additional strategies should be added to maximize stormwater retention on site. We also appreciate The Learning Farms’ plans to use best practices that minimize impacts on the landscape during the construction phases. We hope it will be possible to find and use clean fill or at least a local fill to minimize adding new weedy and invasive species to the area. If it has not been done already, we would recommend surveying the project area to identify the existence of invasive plants (DEC Prohibited and Regulated Invasive Plants). Taking steps to reduce their presence in work areas will help minimize their further spread as will having vehicles cleaned, especially those running among several job sites. Seeds or other plant parts stuck in soil in tire treads and other vehicle parts will easily spread invasive plants. Respectfully submitted Lori Brewer Lindsay Dombroskie Eva Hoffmann Elise Edwards Michael Roberts LETTER 1 of 1 November 29, 2022 RE: 11/28/22 memorandum from Town of Ithaca Planning Board “In reviewing the application for The Learning Farm at 272 Enfield Falls Road, the Environmental Review Committee noted that the answer to #8a on Short EAF says there will be a substantial increase in traffic while in the narrative document on page 4 under “Traffic” it says it is expected to be relatively negligible. Additional details are needed to clarify the current inconsistency.” The Narrative from 8/1/22 specifically states: “Traffic The impact on automobile traffic of the new buildings is expected to be negligible relative to the traffic levels already present on Enfield Falls Rd.” Traffic levels around the Learning Farm in the summers are elevated owing to the very successful summer camp programs offered there. Compared to these summer levels, the traffic impact of the new buildings will be relatively negligible. If compared to the level of traffic experienced in the fall or winter, the traffic will likely result in an increase above present levels, as stated on the Short EAF. The occupancy numbers in the proposed buildings were included with the proposed project documents. ´ red = property boundaryblue = streamsstriped areas = UNA-145 LOCATION MAPLearning Farm Educational Center272 Enfield Falls RoadPlanning Board, March 21, 2023 ± 0 350 700175 Feet Enfield Falls Rd SPECIFICATION SHEET WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTING Item Number Specifications .................................................................. .................................................................. ..................................................................

Prepare a snow management plan with adequate storage for snow and control of melt water,required to clear snow to be stored in a manner not affecting ongoing constructionactivities.B. Enlarge and stabilize access point to provide for snow management and stockpiling. Snowmanagement activities must not destroy or degrade installed erosion and sediment controlpractices.C. A minimum 25-ft buffer shall be maintained from all perimeter controls such as silt fence.Mark silt fence with tall stakes that are visible above the snow pack.D. Edges of disturbed areas that drain to a waterbody within 100-ft will have 2 rows of siltfence, 5-ft apart, installed on the contour.E. Drainage structures must be kept open and free of snow and ice dams. All debris, icedams, or debris from plowing operations, that restrict the flow of runoff and meltwater, shallbe removed.F. Sediment barriers must be installed at all appropriate perimeter and sensitive locations. Siltfence and other practices requiring earth disturbance must be installed before the groundfreezes.G. Soil stockpiles must be protected by the use of established vegetation, anchored strawmulch, rolled matting or other durable covering. A barrier must be installed at least 15-ftfrom the toe of the stockpile to prevent soil migration and to capture loose soil.H. In areas where soil disturbance activity has temporarily or permanently ceased, theapplication of soil stabilization measures should be initiated by the end of the next businessday and completed within three (3) days. Rolled erosion control blankets must be used onall slopes 3:1 or steeper.I. If straw mulch alone is used for temporary stabilization, it shall be applied at double thestandard rate of 2 tons per acre, making the application rate 4 tons per acre. Othermanufactured mulches should applied at double the recommended rate.J. To ensure adequate stabilization of disturbed soil in advance of a melt event, areas ofdisturbed soil should be stabilized at the end of each work day unless.1. Work will resume within 24 hrs in the same are and no precipitation is forecast or,2. the work is in disturbed areas that collect and retain runoff, such as open trenches, foundation excavations or water management areas.K. Use stone paths to stabilize access perimeters of buildings under construction and areaswhere construction vehicle traffic is anticipated. Stone paths should be a minimum 10-ft inwidth but wider as necessary to accommodate equipment.MaintenanceThe site shall be inspected frequently to ensure that the E&SC plan is [performing to winterstabilization function. If the site will not have earth disturbing activities ongoing during thewinter season, all bare exposed soil must be stabilize by established vegetation, straw or otheracceptable mulch, matting, rock or other approved material. Seeding of areas with mulch coveris preferred but seeding alone is not acceptable for proper stabilization.Compliance inspections must be performed and reports filed properly in accordance with theSWPPP for all site under winter shutdown.CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCECONSTRUCTION PHASE 1A. Conduct a pre-construction meeting with the Town of Ithaca prior to initial constructionactivity.B. Construction of stabilized construction entrance(s);C. Placement of silt fence;D. Construction of development roadway to gain access to each individual construction area(s).E. Construction of the diversion swales, and culverts, necessary to bring runoff to areas asdesigned on plans.F. Construction activities for the development of each focus area:a. Construct stormwater management practice and grade site to promote runoff into basin.Note: The footprint of each stormwater practice may be used as a temporary sedimenttrap during construction. Once the area draining to the basins has been stabilized and construction complete, the basins may be backfilled with media andcompleted.b. Construct general utility services (ie. water and sewer piping, storm piping, etc.)c. Construct other utility service connections (gas, electric, phone);Note: For all Underground Utilities - Sediment barriers such as silt fencing, proper seeding andmulching will be utilized as required to bind the down slope side of utility construction and soilstockpiles;G. Remove any accumulated sedimentation from associated swales. Return property topermanent lines and grades;H. Final Grading Mulching & Seeding - Sediment barriers will be maintained down slope fromdisturbed soil during these operations;I. Completion of site stabilization, ie. Vegetative cover, driveway surface. Sediment & ErosionControls to remain in place until vegetative cover reaches 80% density.J. Notes on soil restoration -a. Areas with no soil disturbance or minimal disturbance activities do not need to followspecial restoration procedures.b. Areas where topsoil is stripped away only (with no changes in grade), shall apply 6” ofnew top soil (HSG A & B soils). If HSG C&D soils, aerate with use of tractor-drawnimplements with coulters by making a narrow slit in the soil, or a roller with spikes makingindentations in the soil, the apply 6” of topsoil.c. HSG A&B soils that have been cut or filled shall be restored with aeration followed by 6”of top soil.
