III. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Topography and Geology Chautauqua County is located on the Erie-Ohio Plain, and Allegheny Plateau physiographic provinces. The APE is located in the northwestern part of the county, within the Eire-Ohio Plain province. Elevations within Chautauqua County 20-ft AMSL along Lake Erie, with a maximum elevation of 2,190-AMSL on Gurnsey Hill in the southeast corner of the county (USDA 1987:3). Relief within the APE is moderate, ranging from 614-ft AMSL to 632-ft AMSL. The topography of this area is significant to the climate as a result of the rivers and stream valleys found in the hilly terrain and the occasional steep slopes within the area. During the Wisconsin glaciation of the Pleistocene epoch, ice blanketed the entire area of New York State. Glaciation had a noticeable effect on the surficial appearance of Chautauqua County. The rock formations beneath Chautauqua County are the source of the parent material for the soils. Soils Soils in Chautauqua County have developed since the last glacier retreated approximately 10,000 years ago. The recession of the sheets of ice carried eroded materials as they melted and traveled across New York State. The soils in Chautauqua County were formed through the interaction of climate, living organisms, parent materials, topography, and time. Differences among soils in the county are the result of differences in parent materials and topography, attributed to the variation in the amount of glacial till, outwash, delta deposits, alluvium, and organic materials that they may contain (USDA 1987: 167). Alluvial lands/soils are sections of nearly level, recent unconsolidated deposits on flood plains. The deposits are generally stratified and range in matrix texture from gravel to sand and clay. Drainage commonly encountered in alluvial soils is generally poor to very poor in nature. Colluvium consisting of soil and/or rock travels down slope by gravity. This “slope wash” may, in some cases bury an A Horizon, a culturally rich soil layer. There are two soil types found within the proposed project APE, from the Barcelona and Niagara soil series (Figure 3 and Table 1), and are somewhat poorly drained. The proposed APE for these cultural investigations does not contain alluvial or colluvial soils.

Disturbance Visual inspection of the area delineated as the APE for the Proposed Little Apple Granny Smith Project reveals areas no significant disturbance within the APE (Appendices I and II). Climate Chautauqua County generally experiences warm summers and long, cold winters. The climate of Chautauqua County is temperate continental. Yearly precipitation is about 39 inches. The annual precipitation for the county is evenly distributed throughout the growing season. The average relative humidity is 60%, with prevailing winds coming from the southwest (USDA 1987: 7). The rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the growing season. Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes have an important effect on the temperature and wind currents of Chautauqua County. The lakes provides a classic moderating effect on the local temperatures, helping to cool in the summer and warm in the fall. Forest Zone When peoples first arrived in the western part of New York State, most of Chautauqua County was covered with forest dominated by sugar maple and red oak trees. Today the primary hardwoods found throughout the county are oak, birch, cherry, maple, apple, hawthorn, dogwood, and hickory. Domestic perennial grasses and herbaceous legumes are found within the open plains of the county (USDA 1987: 158). Presently, vegetation within the project area consists of heavy brush, wetlands, and secondary and tertiary forest. Drainage Drainage for the APE is provided by the numerous weltands and creeks which feed into Lake Erie, and the Lake Erie - St. Lawrence River system. These waters find their way to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River. There is substantial evidence of occasional ponding within the APE, as marsh, wetland and ponding are currently prevalent.

Faunal Community The general environmental setting of the project area supports the typical array of animal species seen throughout Western New York. Earlier inhabitants of the western section of New York State would have been able to hunt black bear, white-tailed deer, elk, wild turkey, pheasants, pigeons, water fowl, beaver, raccoons, possum, otter, rabbit, squirrel, and gray fox, as sources of food, fur, and raw materials used in tool manufacturing, common amenities, and for trade. Lake Erie provided and continues to supple inhabitants with trout, pike, bass, salmon, smelt, and pickerel. Man-Made Features / Alterations There are no significant man-made features within the APE. Power lines are found adjacent to the northeast boundary, as well as a cell tower to the southwest, and railroad tracks to the south (Appendix II).

IV. BACKGROUND RESEARCH Site File Research A check of the NYS site files encompassing a one-mile radius from the APE was completed utilizing the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Cultural Resource Information System (NYSOPRHP CRIS). The site file check revealed the presence of one known sites within a 1-mile radius of the APE (Table 2). This site, Parker Village Site #61, was described as “Recent village sites of the Seneca” (Parker 1920:523). Unfortunately no additional information is available. No sites fall directly within the APE for the proposed project (www.cris.parks.ny.gov).

Prehistoric Sensitivity Assessment Based upon the location of a previously recorded prehistoric Native American site within a one-mile radius of the APE for the Proposed Little Apple Granny Smith Project, the proposed APE is considered by Powers Archaeology, LLC to have the potential of containing intact cultural deposits. The close proximity to permanent water sources, in conjunction with the previously documented site, indicates the potential for a prehistoric Native American presence surrounding the APE. Native American site types likely to be encountered within the proposed project area could range from small camps/resource procurement sites or “traces of occupation”, consisting of very diffuse surface scatters of lithic material, to larger habitation sites.

Historic Sensitivity Assessment Development within the general vicinity appears to reflect the more regional expansion. Project-specific historical development is based upon historic maps and atlases. There are no Map Documented Structures (MDS) within the APE. Therefore, historic material encountered within the APE would be found as the result of secondary disposition.

V. PHASE IB ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS Archaeological Survey Team/Date The Powers Archaeology, LLC archaeological field team consisted of Paul Powers, Kyle Somerville, and Matthew Bognaski. The Phase I testing was conducted in October 2015. Ground Conditions Physical conditions consist of wetland, marsh, as well as secondary and tertiary growth (Appendix II). Field Methodology A site visit included a visual examination of the project area to ascertain whether any sections showed evidence of prior disturbance, wetlands, or excessive slope. Based upon observed conditions, approximately 20 acres / 8 hectares (60%) of the 34 acre / 13.75 hectare APE were deemed testable using standard Phase IB testing methods. The remainder consisted of wetlands and marsh (Appendix I). The Phase IB field investigations strategy for this project consisted of shovel testing (Appendix I). Shovel test placement was determined using project maps provided to Powers Archaeology, LLC, research completed during Phase IA investigations, and conditions observed during the initial field inspection. Shovel test units were plotted at 50-ft / 15-m intervals. All excavations were carried out within the APE. Transects were oriented with a magnetic compass and paced out depending on the project area field conditions. Shovel tests were excavated by hand, and measured 1-ft x 1-ft / 30-cm x 30-cm. Each test was excavated to sterile subsoil or until evidence of disturbance was adequately documented to depths of at least 50-cm. All soils excavated were screened through ¼-inch metal mesh to recover any cultural material that may have been present. All soil types and textures were recorded in field notebooks. Documentation of existing conditions within the specific project area as well as that of general vicinity was accomplished through photography (Appendix II). Artifact Descriptions There were no artifacts recovered during these Phase I excavations. Problems Encountered Thick, almost impenetrable vegetation was found throughout the APE, making navigation difficult. Hand-held GPS units were utilized to insure proper placement of shovel tests. Shovel Test Results An estimated 60% of the 34 acre / 13.75 hectare APE was subjected to subsurface testing as part of these Phase I investigations. The remaining area consisted of wetland and marsh (Appendix I). Seventeen transects were placed within the APE containing a total of 314 shovel tests (Appendices I and III). While testing the proposed APE, 255 (81%) of the 314 shovel tests excavated reached a second layer, while none reached a third. The excavation of 59 (19%) shovel tests was halted due to filling with water, or having a layer I that exceeded 20 inches / 50 cmbs into sterile subsoil. (Appendix III). Soils encountered in the STPs were the expected as outlined as a typical profile by the Soil Survey of Chautauqua County (USDA 1987). No cultural material was recovered from any of the 314 shovel tests excavated.

Layer I Layer I averaged 11 inches / 28 cmbs, with a maximum depth of 25 inches / 64 cmbs recorded. Variations in soil color may be the result of a mixed A and B horizons or varying moisture levels within the soil.

VI. TESTING RECOMMENDATIONS These Phase I Cultural Resource Investigations were performed only for the 34 acre / 13.75 hectares that were considered the Area of Potential Effect for the Proposed Little Apple Granny Smith Project. All work was conducted in the Town of Dunkirk, Chautauqua County, New York. No cultural resources were identified. Consequently, Powers Archaeology, LLC believe that current development plans should be allowed to proceed, and that no further archaeological work is warranted.

March 31, 2017 Mr. John Bonafide, Director Technical Preservation Bureau New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) New York State Historic Preservation Office Peebles Island Resource Center P.O. Box 189 Waterford, NY 12188-0189 Re: Proposed Athenex Project

377 Lake Shore Drive E. Dunkirk, Chautauqua County, New York OPRHP Reference No. 15PR04512

Dear Mr. Bonafide:

The New York State Urban Development Corporation, d/b/a Empire State Development (“ESD”), is proposing to provide economic development assistance to Athenex, a global biopharmaceutical company, toward that company’s development of a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility to be built on a ~34-acre site at 3799 Lake Shore Drive E (NYS Route 5) in the Town of Dunkirk, NY (the “Project”). The Project would include the construction of a two-story, 40-foot-high structure with approximately 320,000 square feet of useable space for central utilities, manufacturing, warehouse, laboratories and office spaces, which would be built along with employee parking areas and other site improvements.

The ESD funds proposed for the Project are being administered through the Governor’s “Buffalo Billion” Economic Development Initiative. In 2015, the Project was in the midst of alternative site evaluation and due diligence activities, administered by the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly), and at that time was referred to as the “Little Apple Granny Smith” project (OPRHP Reference No. 15PR04512).

After OPRHP indicated that the Project site is within an archeologically sensitive area and recommended a Phase 1 Cultural Resource Investigation, Phase 1A documentary research and Phase 1B field investigation was completed by Powers Archeology, LLC and submitted to OPRHP. In a letter dated October 19, 2015, OPRHP indicated that the Project will have no impact on archeological and/or historic resources listed in or eligible for the State and National Registers of Historic Places. All aspects of the proposed Project (e.g., Area of Potential Effect, site plan, etc.) remain the same as that evaluated in 2015.

Therefore, based upon these past investigations and OPRHP’s prior findings, ESD has made a preliminary conclusion that the proposed Athenex Project would not adversely impact any property on or eligible for inclusion on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Pursuant to our obligations under Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act, ESD would appreciate OPRHP’s review and any comments regarding our agency’s interpretations with regard to this property.

Please let me know if there is any additional information you require to conduct this review.

Sincerely, EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT
