RE: Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Generators & Medical Office Building Specialty
Pharmacy Access Drive project – Preliminary & Final Site Plan Approval, and Special
Permit for Principal Use
Enclosed please find materials for consideration of Preliminary & Final Site Approval & Special Permit for
the proposed Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Generator Building and Medical Office Building (MOB)
Specialty Pharmacy projects located at 101 & 201 Harris B. Dates Drive within the Office Park
Commercial District. The project involves the construction of a +/- 4,500 square foot (sq. ft.) building
housing emergency generators, installation of a 20,000-gallon underground diesel tank, removal of an
existing 8,000-gallon aboveground fuel storage tank, a new 6-inch fire service connection for the
proposed generator building, construction of a new driveway connection from the northern facade of
the Pharmacy Building to the northeastern parking area, installation of new stormwater facilities, and
other site modifications.
The proposed +/- 4,500 sq. ft. building is located in an existing grass area approximately 60 feet north of
the existing helipad and south of the parking area in the eastern (rear) portion of the building. This
building is proposed to internally house new generators. There are existing generators and switch gear
rooms located inside the medical center, which are slated for removal and the rooms repurposed with
new electrical equipment and gear.
The proposed access drive and parking improvements include a new 20-foot asphalt drive from the
existing parking lot to the northern portion of the existing MOB. The modifications include the removal
of four parking spaces from the existing parking facilities and the addition of three parking spaces in a
new parking area adjacent to the north-facing building façade. This project also includes the relocation
of two trees and removal of three trees adjacent to the proposed entry for the MOB, and installation
planting of trees along the access drive.
Multiple projects on this site have been approved by the Planning Board since 2016, below is a brief
description of each project.
• Cayuga Medical Center Parking Lot Additions (2019): This project include d the addition of 133
paved parking spaces in the parking lot behind the hospital, outdoor lighting, landscaping, and
stormwater facilities. This project was a Type I action under SEQR because it exceeded the Town
of Ithaca designated Type I actions list as noted in Town Code §148-5 C (3), parking for over 100
vehicles.
2
• Cayuga Medical Center Parking Improvements (2018): This project included the implementation
of 28 parking spaces located at the northern end of the main parking lot and along the shoulder
of the south entry roadway of the Cayuga Medical Center.
• Cayuga Medical Center Behavioral Health Project (2016): This project included a +/- 6,000 sq. ft.
second floor addition to the north wing of the facility and renovations to the existing +/- 12,350
sq. ft. behavioral health unit.
In addition to the requirement for Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval by the Planning Board,
hospital uses in the Office Park Commercial Zone are “principal uses authorized by special permit only”
as noted in Town Code §270-131.
Attached are a completed draft Short EAF, draft SEQR resolution, and a draft Special Permit and project
approval resolution for Planning Board consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 607 -273-
1747 extension 127, or email me at nqultykoval@townithacany.gov if you have any questions prior to

RE: Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Generator Project and Specialty
Pharmacy Project
We have reviewed the following items:
• Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Volume I and Volume II, dated February
14th, 2025 April 4th, 2025, titled “Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Generator and
Specialty Pharmacy Projects”
• Civil plan set titled “MOB Specialty Pharmacy Renovation”, dated February 14th,
2025 April 4th, 2025,
• Civil plan set titled “Emergency Generator Project”, dated January 17th, 2025 April
4th, 2025.
We offer the following comments:
Stormwater General:
1. The projects are being reviewed together as a common plan of development. The
projects currently propose to disturb less than 1 Ac of soil but proposes to create
more than 10,000 sq ft of impervious cover. The projects do not meet the threshold
for the NY DEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from
Construction Activity, but do meet the Code of the Town of Ithaca Full SWPPP
threshold requirements. If the projects disturb more than 1 Ac. a DEC permit will
be required. The applicant should verify the amount of disturbance after the plans
Page 2 of 5
are revised to address this memorandum. It appears that with inclusion of the fill
site the projects will be over 1 Ac of disturbance.
2. Pg 1 of the narrative needs to be revised based on the information in item 1 of this
memorandum.
The project exceeds 10,000 sq ft of new impervious cover therefore a Full
SWPPP is required. Please update the narrative accordingly.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit a stormwater operating, maintenance, and
reporting agreement will need to be executed. Associated easements and/or right
of ways will also need to be executed.
Acknowledged by Applicant
4. The complete SWPPP and associated documents will need to be uploaded to
OpenGov under a SWPPP application once they have been approved.
Acknowledged by Applicant
5. There appears to be discrepancies between the WQv calculation in the narrative,
WQv calculation sheets, and Fig. 2. Please revise for consistency and update
accordingly.
Please revise WQv calculations in the narrative so that they are consistent
with revised quantities, see below.
6. On page 6 of the narrative, the second to last line in the last paragraph should
state “Specialty Pharmacy” not “Emergency Generator.”
Satisfied
7. Please review the Proposed Conditions CN for Subarea 2 to make sure it is correct.
There appears to be a discrepancy when adding the new impervious cover
identified in Fig 2.
Satisfied
8. Please update all certifications statements (contractor, SWPPP Preparer, Owner,
etc.) to reflect the statements in the new General Permit for Construction Activity.
Not Corrected. Verbiage must be updated to match the new general
permit. Form 2 was not updated. Please update the Engineer’s
Certification to match the SWPPP preparer form.
Page 3 of 5
9. Prior to signing the MS4 acceptance, provide correspondence from SHPO
regarding the Pharmacy project.
Satisfied. MS4 acceptance is not required if the project is under 1 Ac of
disturbance.
10. Please review the sizing paragraphs on pg. 7 of the narrative. It appears that the
Emergency Generator project is being referenced in a paragraph describing the
Pharmacy project.
Satisfied
11. The forebay in the Generator Project is only 6” in height. Please revise the
calculation on page 7 of the narrative or revise the plan to a 1’ weir height. Plan
modification will require the grading to be modified to ensure the water stays within
the practice when overtopping the weir into the filter and adequate free board is
maintained.
Satisfied
12. Please review and revise both bioretention details for the following:
• Placement of geotextile fabric around the stone drainage layer and walls of
the filtration media section. Satisfied
• Except where a liner is provided, underdrain systems shall be designed to
create an internal water storage using one of the following methods:
▪ Provide an upturned elbow, set 10 inches above the bottom of
practice Satisfied
▪ Set the outlet pipe invert, at the outlet control structure, 10 inches
above the bottom of practice Satisfied
▪ Increase the drainage layer depth to provide 8 inches of stone below
the underdrain Satisfied
13. Staging areas are not noted on either plan set. It is assumed a section of the
parking lot will be used for temporary staging. If the staging area causes the
limits of disturbance to exceed 1 acre a SWPPP shall be filled with DEC.
14. Please identify riprap sizes in the plan set. Detail #2 on C-303 calls out light or
medium stone fill as shown on plans, but the size is not indicated on the plan sheet.
15. Update the post practice maintenance section to reflect new maintenance and
inspection recommendations provided in chapter 12 of the 2024 NYS Stormwater
Design Manual.

CMC Generator Building
101 Harris B. Dates Dr.
From: Town of Ithaca Code
Enforcement Department
Dear Planning Department,
Please see the below comments and questions pertaining to application DEV-24-15:
1. FIG1 appears to be the topographic site plan submittal. Mapped streams, as identified on
the Town of Ithaca Stream Setback Map, are identified on this parcel and are required to be
identified in accordance with section 270-219.5 D.14. The plan is required to have the
stream setback delineation identified and the following language on the plan: Town of
Ithaca zoning provisions regarding stream setbacks, and that restrictions and setbacks on
development, soil disturbance, vegetation removal and other activities apply
2. The fire apparatus access plan does not appear to be provided. Please submit a fire
apparatus access plan showing the Ithaca Fire Department auto turn path.
3. Please provide a location of the closest fire hydrant with distances measured to and around
the proposed building to verify compliance with 507.5.1 (NYSFC 2020). Based on scaling
the maps, the distance appears to exceed 400’, as noted in the code section above.
4. Please provide the fire flow calculation with the method utilized to verify compliance with
section 507.1 (NYSFC 2020).
5. The proposed building will be located in the Office Park Commercial Zone.
6. Due to the proposed building not including water fixtures, measurements will need to be
provided to show that the building is in compliance with section 403.3 of the NYS Plumbing
Code (2020). Additionally, a calculation will need to be provided to confirm that the current
facility can accommodate the additional occupancy, based on the current configuration
and number of fixtures. Per table 403.1, of the NYS Plumbing Code (2020), a service sink
and drinking fountain is required to be provided in addition to the “toilet facilities”.
a. The drawings provided appear to identify a “water service” room, but the narrative
indicates that a water service is not being provided. Is the water service room only
for the fire sprinkler system?
7. The Ithaca energy code checklist provided was not the most updated form, currently you
need to obtain 12 points for a project. Please provide an updated energy code checklist,
which can be downloaded at the following link: ECS-Compliance-Checklists-v2.1.pdf
8. As a side note the standards referenced below are incorrect and should be corrected as
follows:

NFPA-72-2016
e. The 2012 edition of NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code. This standard should be
NFPA-99-2018
f. The 2012 edition of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. This standard should be NFPA-101-
2018
g. The 2010 edition of NFPA 110 Standards for Emergency and Standby Power
h. Systems. This standard should be NFPA-110-2016
i. Town of Ithaca version of the Energy Code Supplement, v1.0 September 2021. The
Ithaca Energy Code was updated in 2023 as identified in section 144-C404.1A in
chapter 144 of the Town of Ithaca Code.
9. Please identify where the Fire Department Connection is located, as it is unclear in the
plans provided.
10. Please confirm if offices or office area will be utilized in this building.
11. Please confirm where an exterior fuel shutoff would be located for firefighting capabilities.
12. Sheet A-001 seems to indicate that there will be a double door in the southeast corner of
the building and does not identify the door and exterior stairs in the northeast corner of the
building. Other plan sheets do not show a double door in the southeast corner of the
building and do show the a door in the north east corner of the building with a set of stairs.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Dwyer Architectural, and its consultants, was retained by Cayuga Medical Center to
provide design services for a new, stand-alone emergency generator building.
The existing hospital is located at 101 Harris B. Dates Drive, Ithaca, NY 14850.
The project seeks to construct a new +/-4,700 sf building, adjacent to the existing chiller
locations, and in the vicinity of the existing emergency generator location within the existing
building. This building would house new emergency generators, and the existing generators
would be removed from the existing building. The existing generator and switchgear rooms
in the existing building would be re-configured and re-used to house new electrical
equipment and gear.
The following narrative, and associated drawings, outline a Schematic Design level concept
for the generator building

2 SITE/CIVIL NARRATIVE
TG MILLER
A. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:
Water to the Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) campus on Dates Drive is provided by
the Town of Ithaca water distribution system supplied from the Bolton Point treatment
plant with source at Cayuga Lake. Storage for the existing system in this area of the
Town is provided by the 0.5-MG Trumansburg Road storage tank. Water to the
existing distribution main on the CMC campus is supplied through a 10-inch main
which enters the campus from Trumansburg Road (NYS Route 79) to the west and
from an 8-inch main on Indian Creek Road to the north. Once on the campus, the
system includes a series of 8- and 10-mains which are looped around the main
hospital building, the attached Medical Office Building (MOB), and the Biggs Building
near the north edge of the campus.
The domestic and fire water services to the main hospital building are from the main
off the southeast corner of the building. A second service, interconnected within the
buildings, enters the MOB near its southeast corner from mains on the easterly side of
the looped system. The existing system on the campus is dedicated to the Town of
Ithaca within easements. The Trumansburg Road storage tank has reported base
and overflow elevations of 1003 and 1039, respectively. With the water level in the
tank at approximately two-thirds full (elv.1027), the static pressure at the site of the
proposed Emergency Generator building (elv.804) is estimated to be approximately
96 psi.
The existing 10-inch mains on and near the site will be protected and/or will not be
disturbed by the project. Improvements will be limited to a new 6-inch fire service to
supply the fire suppression system within the generator building. The proposed
service will connect to the 10-inch town main and enter the fire service room on the
north side of the building. The fire suppression system for the new building will include
a fire department connection (FDC) to be installed on the north face of the building.
Backflow prevention will be provided within the fire service room as determined
necessary by current code. The new service will require an agreement between
Cayuga Medical Center and Bolton Point stipulating it will be for fire use only and no
other connections for other uses will be allowed.
Water fixtures within the new building are not currently contemplated, and no
demands for domestic or process water are currently expected. Should water
fixtures be added, a new water sub-service from the hospital building or MOB will be
required.
B. SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM:
The project will not impact any existing sanitary sewer mains on the site, and no
sanitary sewer service to the new building or other improvements on the site are
currently contemplated.

C. STORMWATER DRAINAGE:
All areas of the project site drain to an existing extended detention wetland
stormwater management practice (SMP) located east of the site. The wetland SMP
was most recently improved under a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP)
developed in 2011 for the CMC Lab Addition project. Runoff from most areas of the
site flows overland to the existing parking lot at the north edge of the site where it is
collected by the existing storm drainage system and conveyed to the wetland. A
relatively smaller area, generally along the south and east edges of the site, drains
overland directly to the wetland.
Drainage improvements will include approximately 270 feet of relatively small (6” to
10”) diameter storm sewer pipe along with five storm structures and cleanouts
connecting to the existing storm drainage system in the parking lot north of the
proposed building. Runoff from the flat roof of the building will be conveyed by
interior storm leader piping to the improved system. Perforated foundation drain
piping connecting to the system will be installed at the perimeter of the building
foundation walls below the interior floor level along with building waterproofing to
prevent water intrusion into the building.
D. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT:
The project area will disturb approximately 0.53 acres of land on the site and will
result in the addition of approximately 0.14 acres of new impervious soil cover. Given
the disturbance is less than 1 acre, permit coverage under the NYSDEC General
Permit for Construction Activities (GP-0-20-001) will not be required. However, the
project can also be considered part of a larger plan of development therefore
requiring the installation of permanent stormwater management practices to
mitigate the increase in impervious soil cover. Additionally, the project will exceed
certain thresholds of the Town of Ithaca stormwater laws that require a Basic Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (Basic SWPPP).
Relative to the 13.8-acre watershed subarea draining to the downstream wetland
SMP, the increase in impervious soil cover associated with the project is quite small
and will not result in any measurable increase in the rates or volumes of runoff
flowing to the wetland or its outfall. Given the project will not impact the hydrology
of the watershed, measures to provide Overbank (10-year) and Extreme (100-year)
flood controls, or Stream Channel Protection Volume (1-year storm), will not be
required. The project will, however, be required to provide water quality controls, i.e.,
Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) and Water Quality Volume (WQv), for runoff from the
area of new impervious soil cover. The project will therefore include the installation of
a bioretention filter SMP designed in compliance with the current NYSDEC 2024
design manual to treat runoff from a minimum of 0.14 acres of impervious soil cover
on the site. In addition to the permanent SMP, the SWPPP will also require temporary
erosion and sediment controls, including regular inspections and reporting during
construction and until final site stabilization.
Relative to municipal approvals, the Basic SWPPP will need to be accepted by the
town stormwater management office (SMO) prior to making a formal environmental
determination under the State Environment Quality Review (SEQR).

E. NATURAL GAS:
The proposed building will interrupt an existing gas service that traverses the site from
east to west. The service is connected to an existing NYSEG gas main off the east
edge of the site, with meter and regulator assembly located near the east face of
the MOB building. To maintain existing gas service to the MOB, the service piping will
be relocated by NYSEG around the north side of the building prior to the start of
foundation work for the new building. There will be no gas service to the new
generator building.
F. CHILLED WATER:
The existing cooling towers located to the west of the proposed building, along with
the associated chilled water piping, makeup water piping and electrical lines from
the main hospital building, will be maintained and protected during construction of
the project.
G. TELECOMMUNICATIONS:
No existing onsite telecom improvements will be impacted by the project. Telecom
service to the new generator building will be provided in conduit from the main
hospital building.
H. ELECTRIC:
No existing onsite electrical distribution systems will be impacted by the project.
Electric cables between the existing hospital building and the new generator
building will be installed within concrete encased duct bank.
I. FUEL STORAGE:
The project includes a new 20,000-gallon below-grade diesel storage tank to be
installed under the lawn south of the generator building with fuel lines entering the
building near its southwest corner. The existing above-grade diesel fuel storage tank
on the site which serves the existing generators in the lower level of the main hospital
building will be removed at the completion of the project.
J. SITE LIGHTING:
The project will impact 2 existing light poles located along the curb line of the
adjacent parking lot along the north edge of the site. The light fixtures and poles will
be salvaged and reinstalled along with new pole bases, conduit, and wiring as
necessary. Additional exterior site lighting for the project has not yet been
determined but is expected to be limited to fixtures mounted on the face of the new
building.

3 GEOTECHNICAL NARRATIVE
JOHN P. STOPEN ENGINEERING, LLP
A. SITE DESCRIPTION:
The proposed generator/switchgear building is within the Cayuga Medical Center
(CMC) campus, about 60 ft north of the existing helicopter pad and about 20 ft east
of the existing cooling tower. The CMC is situated on the west bank at the southern
tip of Cayuga Lake. The proposed building site is near the crest of a hillside that
overlooks the lake to the east, has a parking field to the north, and Medical Center
buildings and service equipment to the south and west. Existing ground levels for the
approximately 4,700 sq ft building site slope slightly down to the east from about
Elevation 807.5 ft at the southwest corner over approximately 150 ft to about
Elevation 804 ft at the northeast corner.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed building will be 45-ft (north/south) by 104 ft (east/west) and will be
separated into the 73-ft-long West end Generator Room and the 28-ft- long East end
Switchgear Room by a light-gauge metal stud transverse wall. Construction will
consist of structural steel framing with interior columns perimeter and interior columns
at 21-ft to 29-ft spacings. Perimeter walls will be insulated metal panels over light-
gauge metal stud framing. Walls and roof will be insulated for seasonal heating.
Floors will be concrete slabs-on-grade at Elevation 807.5 ft. To achieve this floor level,
existing grades must be raised as much as 3 ft at the east end and lowered as much
as 2 ft at the west end.
The generator room will house 3 generators weighing about 40 kips each. Each
generator will be mounted on a vibration-isolated concrete foundation having
dimensions of about 8 ft by 22 ft resulting in average bearing stress of about .23 ksf.
The switchgear room will consist of up to 8 paralleling units having combined weight
of about 28 kips over a footprint of about 7 ft by 22 ft resulting in an average bearing
stress of less than .20 ksf.
C. LOCAL SOILS AND SEISMICITY:
Geologic information and our previous work at the CMC indicate the native soi1s
were derived from medium stiff glacio-lacustrine deposits, glacial till, and weathering
of the underlying Ithaca Shale. Historic aerial photographs indicate the area has
been re-graded to raise grades for different construction projects. The latest re-
grading episode appears to be from about 2010 where grades were raised to
complete the Laboratory Project that included relocation of the helipad.
According to the USGS, the design earthquake for this area is characterized by
mapped spectral accelerations of Ss=0.126g and S1=0.056g. For seismic design
according to the NYS Building Code, these values must be adjusted for subsurface
conditions as described later in this report.

D. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND FINDINGS:
In June 2021 a subsurface exploration that consisted of drilling 7 test borings was
performed by Kenney Geotechnical Services. Subsurface conditions were as shown
on the attached Soil Profile and as described by the attached Test Boring Logs.
The Test Borings encountered 8 to 18 ft of old fill overlying 3 to 8 ft of firm to dense
natural silty sand and sandy clay. Beneath the natural soil, the borings encountered
weathered Ithaca Siltstone. Groundwater was not encountered in any of the
borings.
The old fill consisted of a mix of silty sand with gravel and sandy clay with gravel.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-values were between 4 and 31 with some isolated
values over 50. No significant organic or other objectionable material was noted in
any of the old fill. The depth of old fill was thinnest (8 to 10 ft) at the west end of the
proposed building footprint and thickened to the east towards the crest of the fill
embankment.
The natural soil consisted of material similar to the old fill with SPT N-values between
about 4 and 20.
A 5-ft rock core drilled at Boring B-3 showed the rock to be relatively soft and
weathered as indicated by the 100 percent recovery with RQD (Rock Quality
Designation) of 18 percent and average core rate of
1.85 minutes per foot.
E. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS
Based on our experience with old fill sites, we believe the reliability of the upper 6 ft
of old fill should be verified by removal and replacement, but that the deeper old fill
and natural soil will provide suitable support for lightly loaded conventional shallow
footings and concrete slab-on-grade floors.
After completion of subgrade improvement, conventional shallow spread footings
can be designed for an allowable net bearing stress of 2 ksf. Minimum footing widths
for individual columns and continuous walls should be 3 ft and 2 ft, respectively.
Based on expected floor and column loads, we estimated total post-construction
settlement will be less than 1 inch and differential settlement will be less than ½-inch
over 30 ft if site preparation and building design conform to the recommendations
provided herein.
Based on boring log descriptions, subgrade soils are not susceptible to liquefaction
or significant seismically induced settlement, nor are they susceptible to significant
volume change due to changes in moisture.
In our professional opinion, this site should be classified Site Class D for seismic design.
The previously stated mapped spectral acceleration values must be modified in
accordance with Section 1615.1.2 of the NYS Building Code.

Although not specifically tested, the old fill, natural subgrade, and imported granular
fill will probably not be aggressively corrosive to steel or concrete.
F. SITE PREPARATION AND SUBGRADE IMPROVEMENT
To verify stability of the upper portion of old fill and provide reliable support for new
foundations, the old fill should be removed to about 6 ft below the proposed finished
floor. As excavation proceeds, the old fill can be evaluated for possible re-use as
structural fill and objectionable material can be culled as required. After completion
of the initial 6-ft excavation, the exposed subgrade can be improved by surface
compaction. That process should be performed in the presence of the Geotechnical
Engineer’s representative to determine if additional localized excavation is required.
After the Engineer’s subgrade approval, structural backfill can be placed in
controlled lifts as required for foundation and floor construction.
To facilitate the vibration isolation of the generators, those foundations should be
underlain by at least 2 ft of crushed stone conforming to NYSDOT Specification for
Item 733-04 Subbase Course Type 2 compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum
Modified Proctor Density as determined by ASTM D1557.
Based on boring log descriptions of the old fill, we believe most of that material
should be re-usable as structural backfill under favorable weather conditions.
However, due to the content of silt and clay, the soil may be sensitive to moisture
and traffic so that re-use during wet weather may be difficult or impractical. In that
case, structural fill would need to be imported, or work postponed awaiting
favorable conditions.
Structural fill must be placed in controlled lifts with each lift compacted to full
stability. Imported material is usually sufficiently consistent to test with nuclear density
equipment based on laboratory compaction data. If old fill is used, the consistency
would need to be monitored as work proceeds and laboratory data updated as
necessary. If the old fill is not sufficiently consistent, performance compaction criteria
would need to be established at the time of work in lieu of nuclear testing.
After completion of subgrade improvement, conventional shallow spread
foundations and concrete slab- on-grade floors can be constructed.
Perimeter foundations must bear at least 4 ft below finished grades for protection
from frost heave, but interior column footings may bear higher.
A minimum 6-inch-thick subbase layer of imported crushed stone should be placed
directly beneath slab- on-grade floors. Before placing the subbase layer, the
subgrade should be proof rolled using a heavy vibratory compactor. Unstable areas
disclosed by proof rolling must be undercut to stable subgrade and backfilled with
well-compacted subbase material.
Depending upon floor finishes and/or moisture control requirements, a vapor barrier
beneath floor slabs may be desirable.

G. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
We considered other methods of subgrade improvement, Deep Dynamic
Compaction (DDC), stone columns, and Rigid Inclusions (RI), but believe that
removal and replacement of the old fill will be the most cost effective.
DDC can be a very cost-effective method of subgrade improvement. It consists of
dropping a heavy (8 to 10-ton) weight from a specified height (on the order of 30 to
40 ft) to densify the soil by creating craters. The craters are filled with crushed stone
and the process repeated until sufficient improvement is accomplished. DDC is
limited to the depth of improvement, usually about 15 ft, and can have significant
detrimental effects on adjacent buildings and buried utilities because of ground
vibration resulting from the successive dropping of the weight. Due to the depth of
old fill and the proximity to existing structures, we do not believe this would be a
practical method of ground improvement at this site.
Stone Columns consist of inserting a vibratory cylinder (vibroflot) into the ground to
create a void, then filling the void with crushed stone. The vibroflot is incrementally
lifted and re-inserted into the crushed stone to compact the stone and the
surrounding subgrade. The procedure leaves a high modulus stone column about 30
inches in diameter that transfers and distributes heavy loads into appropriate soil
layers. Conventional shallow spread foundations are then constructed over the
improved subgrade.
Rigid Inclusions consist of drilled holes filled with concrete. The drilled holes extend
from a few feet below the foundation level to an appropriate stable subgrade layer
(rock in this case). The holes are drilled with a reverse flight auger to reduce spoil and
improve the surrounding soil, then filled with concrete as the drill string is removed.
The result is a series of concrete columns about 16 inches diameter. These columns
are then covered with a layer of compacted crushed stone (a load transform
platform) typically 18 to 24 inches thick. Conventional shallow spread foundations
are then constructed over the load transform platform.
Both Stone Columns and Rigid Inclusions require a significant mobilization cost and a
prepared working surface consisting of up to 2 ft of crushed stone to support
required installation equipment. Either of these methods of subgrade improvement
would be acceptable for this site, but we expect the remediation of the old fill by
removal and replacement will be less costly.
H. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our evaluations, we concluded that the proposed buildings can be
constructed using shallow foundations and concrete slab-on-grade floors after the
old fill is improved and/or replaced, provided that site preparation, and building
design and construction conform to:

Strip topsoil and lower grades to at least 6 ft below design finished floor. If buried
structures, boulders, or other objectionable material is encountered, remove as
required for appropriate re-use as structural fill. As is appropriate, stockpile
excavation spoil for future reuse or remove from site.
At the excavation level, in the presence of the Geotechnical Engineer’s
representative, improve exposed subgrade by surface compaction with a vibratory
compactor having static weight of at least 12,000 lbs. If compactive effort
destabilizes the subgrade, follow instructions of the Engineer’s representative for
alternative compaction methods. Alternatives may include providing a layer of
crushed stone to maintain subgrade stability during compaction.
At generator foundations, undercut as required to allow placement of at least 2 ft of
imported crushed stone conforming to NYSDOT Specification for Item 733-04
Subbase Course Type 2 compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum Modified
Proctor Density as determined by ASTM D1557. If required to maintain subgrade
stability, undercut deeper and improve exposed subgrade to accommodate
placement and required compaction of the crushed stone.
Repair unstable or uncompactible areas disclosed by compaction and/or as
directed by the Engineer’s representative, by undercutting and replacing with well-
compacted structural fill.
Structural fill for general site preparation to consist of imported soil conforming to
NYSDOT Specification Item 733-11 Select Granular Fill, or approved on-site spoil
culled of organics and material greater than 4 inches. Compact structural fill to at
least 93 percent of the maximum Modified Proctor Density as determined by ASTM
D1557 procedures, or per a performance specification as directed by the Engineer’s
representative.
Footings
Footings requiring protection from frost heave must bear at least 4 ft below finished
grade or on non-frost-susceptible material that extends to that depth.
Footings must bear on dense natural subgrade, over at least 1 ft of imported
structural fill, or over improved subgrade approved by the Engineer’s representative.
Before placing backfill or constructing footings, compact exposed subgrade to full
stability in the presence of, and as determined by, the Engineer’s representative.
Repair unstable or uncompactible areas disclosed by compaction and/or as
directed by the Engineer’s representative, by undercutting and replacing with
imported structural fill.
Proportion footings for an allowable net bearing stress of 2 ksf. Use minimum
dimensions of 2 ft for continuous footings, and 3 ft for column footings.

Structural fill for footing construction to consist of imported crushed stone conforming
to NYSDOT Specification Item 733-04 Subbase Course Type 2 or 4 compacted to at
least 95 percent of maximum Modified Proctor Density as determined by ASTM
D1557.
Concrete Slab-On-Grade Floors
Construct concrete slab-on-grade floors on a subbase consisting of at least 6 inches
of crushed stone conforming to NYSDOT Specification for Item 733-04 Subbase
Course Type 2 compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum Modified Proctor
Density as determined by ASTM D1557.
Before placing subbase, proofroll subgrade with a vibratory compactor having static
weight of at least 12,000 lbs in the presence of the Engineer’s representative. Repair
unstable areas by undercutting and replacing with well-compacted crushed stone
subbase material.
Design concrete floor slab based on a subgrade modulus of 150 pci.
provide vapor barrier beneath slab if impermeable floor finishes are used.
Building Entries
To preclude jamming of out swinging doors from frost heave, entry slabs within door
swing areas should be backfilled with non-frost-susceptible material to depth of at
least 4 ft. Non-frost-susceptible material would consist of crushed stone conforming
to NYSDOT Standard Specification Item 733-04 Subbase Course Type 2.
Special Inspections
We recommend that the Owner provide these special inspections in accordance
with NYS Building Code Section 1704.7:
1. Before repairing subgrade, raising grades, or constructing footings, confirm
suitability and stability of subgrade soil.
2. Before placement of structural fill and backfill, confirm suitability of fill material,
and placement and compaction methods. Perform compaction testing and
document results to verify proper compaction.
3. During ground compaction, confirm that equipment, materials, and procedures
conform to requirements.
A preconstruction meeting should be held including the Owner, the Contractor, the
Geotechnical Engineer, and the Testing Lab to be sure that the scope and nature of
the inspections conform to our design intent.

Preliminary Site Plan Review Narrative
Date: April 4, 2025
Owner: Cayuga Medical Center
Project Name: MOB Specialty Pharmacy
Location: 201 Harris B. Dates Drive
Town of Ithaca Tax Map Parcels 24.-3-2.1 and 34.-3-2.412
The MOB Specialty Pharmacy project includes interior building improvements and renovations
within the existing Medical Office Building (MOB) for accommodating a new ‘specialty pharmacy’.
The MOB is physically connected at its south end to the Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) regional
hospital building. Proposed improvements to the building visible from the outside will be limited
to two new doorways on the north face of the MOB building to provide access primarily for
pharmacy deliveries in addition to very limited walk-in customer access.
Access Drive and Parking Improvements
Site improvement will include a new 20-foot-wide by approximate 228-foot-long asphalt drive
connecting to the existing at-grade parking facility located east of the MOB. A hammerhead
turnaround will be installed near the end of the new drive to accommodate delivery vehicles as
well as emergency vehicles as large as the Ithaca Fire Department aerial ladder truck. Other
improvements near the MOB include three new parking spaces, concrete walkways, and a
dumpster enclosure. Four parking spaces will be removed from the existing parking facility at
the start of the new drive resulting in a net loss of one space on the CMC campus. One of the
three new parking spaces along with a concrete walkway access route to the two new entrances
will be ADA compliant.
The three parking spaces near the MOB entrances are expected to be sufficient given most
customers will receive their medications by mail, and given most if not all walk-in customers will
access the pharmacy from existing exterior doorways on the west side of the MOB or through
the main hospital building. Deliveries by standard sized Fedex-style box trucks are estimated to
number approximately four per day.
Earthwork
Raising the grades on the project site will be necessary to make the parking spaces and walking
route to the building entrances ADA accessible, which will require a substantial amount of fill to
achieve. The volume of fill to be imported to the site, in addition to the paving materials, is
estimated to be approximately 720 cubic yards. Removal of soils from the site is not expected to
be required. The embankment fill to be imported to the site will come from the nearby CMC
Emergency Generator project which is expected to generate a similar or slightly greater amount
of soil to be exported from that site.
Preliminary Site Plan Review Narrative
Stormwater Drainage
GP-0-25-001) will not be required. The project will however exceed certain thresholds of the
Town of Ithaca stormwater law that will require a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). Given the projects can be considered part of a larger plan of development, the
installation of permanent stormwater management practice will be provided to mitigate the new
impervious soil cover associated with the projects.
Preliminary Site Plan Review Narrative
such, no change in the hydrology, or the rates or volumes of runoff from these subareas are
expected. Given the project will not change the hydrology of the subarea watersheds, measures
to provide Overbank (10-year) and Extreme (100-year) flood controls, or Stream Channel
Protection Volume (1-year storm), will not be required. The project will however be required to
provide water quality controls, i.e. Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) and Water Quality Volume
(WQv), for runoff from the area of new impervious soil cover. The project will therefore include
the installation of a bioretention filter SMP designed in compliance with the current NYSDEC 2024
design manual to treat runoff from a minimum of 0.18 acres of impervious soil cover on the
pharmacy project site. In addition to the permanent SMP, the SWPPP will also require temporary
erosion and sediment controls, including regular inspections and reporting during construction
and until final site stabilization.

Matthew Leak, R.A., Dwyer Architectural
CC: Town of Ithaca Planning Department
DATE: March 4, 2025
RE: Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Generator Project and Specialty
Pharmacy Project
We have reviewed the following items:
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Volume I and Volume II, dated February
14th, 2025, titled “Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Generator and
Specialty Pharmacy Projects”
Civil plan set titled “MOB Specialty Pharmacy Renovation”, dated February 14 th,
2025,
Civil plan set titled “Emergency Generator Project”, dated Rev2 – January 17 th,
2025
We offer the following comments:
Responses below in red by T.G. Miller, P.C. dated 4/4/25.
Stormwater General:
1. The projects are being reviewed together as a common plan of development. The
projects currently propose to disturb less that 1 Ac of soil but propose to create
more than 10,000 sq ft of impervious cover. The projects do not meet the threshold
for the NY DEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from
Construction Activity, but do meet the Code of the Town of Ithaca Full SWPPP
threshold requirements. If the projects disturb more than 1 Ac. a DEC permit will
be required. The applicant should verify the amount of disturbance after the plans
are revised to address this memorandum. It appears that with inclusion of the fill
site the projects will be over 1 Ac of disturbance.
The fill sites shown on the CMC Emergency Generator Project Spoils Disposal
Site Plan will not be used. As stated in previous comment responses, spoils site
selection was dependent upon the Construction Manager for both projects. Now,
the Emergency Generator project has a Construction Manager, and they have
determined that the contractor will take spoils from the Emergency Generator
project directly to the Specialty Pharmacy project site for use as fill. Any excess
spoils will be trucked out of the Town of Ithaca and disposed of by the
contractor.
2. Pg 1 of the narrative needs to be revised based on the information in item 1 of
this memorandum.
See the response to comment 1 above. We do not believe the narrative for the
pharmacy project needs to be revised.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit a stormwater operating, maintenance, and
reporting agreement will need to be executed. Associated easements and/or
right of ways will also need to be executed.
We understand the O&M agreement and easements between Cayuga Medical
Center and the Town of Ithaca will need to be executed prior to obtaining a
building permit. In this regard, we would like to consider the possibility of
executing a campus wide O&M agreement/easement as suggested in Emily
Rogers email from 1/31/25.
4. The complete SWPPP and associated documents will need to be uploaded to
OpenGov under a SWPPP application once they have been approved.
The complete SWPPP will be submitted to OpenGov upon approval.
5. There appears to be discrepancies between the WQv calculation in the narrative,
WQv calculation sheets, and Fig. 2. Please revise for consistency and update
accordingly.
We have reviewed and revised the narrative, WQv calculation sheets, plans,
and Figure 2 for consistency and accuracy.
6. On page 6 of the narrative, the second to last line in the last paragraph should
state “Specialty Pharmacy” not “Emergency Generator.”
We have updated the narrative to state “Specialty Pharmacy”.
7. Please review the Proposed Conditions CN for Subarea 2 to make sure it is
correct. There appears to be a discrepancy when adding the new impervious
cover identified in Fig 2.
We have reviewed and updated the SWPPP and HydroCAD calculations for
accuracy and to conform with the most recent changes. The discrepancy for
Subarea 2 has been addressed.
8. Please update all certifications statements (contractor, SWPPP Preparer,
Owner, etc.) to reflect the statements in the new General Permit for Construction
Activity.
We have updated all certifications statements (contractor, SWPPP Preparer,
Owner, etc.) to reflect the statements in the new General Permit for Construction
Activity.
9. Prior to signing the MS4 acceptance, provide correspondence from SHPO
regarding the Pharmacy project.
We have provided correspondence from SHPO stating that the Specialty
Pharmacy project will not impact any archaeological or historic resources in the
updated SWPPP V2. The Specialty Pharmacy project number is 25PR02134.
10. Please review the sizing paragraphs on pg. 7 of the narrative. It appears that the
Emergency Generator project is being referenced in a paragraph describing the
Pharmacy project.
We have updated the narrative to state “Specialty Pharmacy” and included its
accompanying WQv where appropriate.
11. The forebay in the Generator Project is only 6” in height. Please revise the
calculation on page 7 of the narrative or revise the plan to a 1’ weir height. Plan
modification will require the grading to be modified to ensure the water stays
within the practice when overtopping the weir into the filter and adequate free
board is maintained.
The grading plan has been updated to support a 1’ weir height along with other
updates to conform this bioretention filter to the 2024 Design Manual.
12. Please review and revise both bioretention details for the following:
Placement of geotextile fabric around the stone drainage layer and walls
of the filtration media section
Except where a liner is provided, underdrain systems shall be designed
to create an internal water storage using one of the following methods:
Provide an upturned elbow, set 10 inches above the bottom of
practice
Set the outlet pipe invert, at the outlet control structure, 10 inches
above the bottom of practice
Increase the drainage layer depth to provide 8 inches of stone
below the underdrain
We have updated both bioretention filter details to show placement of geotextile
fabric around the stone drainage layer and walls of the filtration media section
and show an upturned elbow set 10 inches above the bottom of the practice.
Emergency Generator
Project Potable Water
1. Prior to a Building Permit, an agreement must be executed between Bolton Point
and the Owner relative to the fire only tap connection.
An agreement between Bolton Point and the Owner relative to the fire only tap
connection will be executed prior to submission for a building permit. We have
requested direction from Bolton Point regarding the format of the agreement
and how to execute, and are waiting on a response.
2. Prior to a Building Permit, an easement must be executed between the Owner
and the Town of Ithaca for the portion of water main that was previously
relocated.
An easement will be executed between the Owner and the Town of Ithaca for
the portion of water main that was previously relocated. We understand the
Town of Ithaca will provide an easement map and document to Cayuga
Medical Center for execution per the 01/15/2025 email from David O’Shea.
Specialty Pharmacy Project
Sanitary Sewer
1. A precast barrel section must be used to raise the eccentric manhole 3+/- ft to
finish grade. This must conform to Town of Ithaca details and specs, including
testing.
Adjusted note on C202 to state that that the manhole must be raised using a
precast barrel section, and that it must conform to town of Ithaca details and
specifications, including testing.
2. Bioretention filter must be shifted outside of the sanitary sewer easement as this
limits egress and maintenance capabilities.
The bioretention filter has been shifted outside of the sanitary sewer easement.
3. The Towns detail for sanitary sewer manholes must be added to the detail sheet.
(Will be provided by the Town)
The Town’s detail for sanitary sewer manholes has been added to the detail
sheet.
Stormwater
1. Please include the Spoils Disposal Concept Plan in this plan set if the site will be
used for this project. It is understood that a majority of the work is fill, but it is likely
organics will be stripped and disposed of.
We expect topsoil can be used for fill in the Embankment Side Slope Area of
the proposed drive on the pharmacy project site. The Spoils Disposal Concept
Plan has been removed from the generator project drawings set. Any excess
material from the combined sites will be disposed of outside of the Town of
Ithaca.
2. Please indicate on Figure 1 which Sand Filter will be treating the 0.015 ac that
will not be captured by the proposed bioretention filter.
Figure 1 has been updated to show which Sand Filter is treating the area not
captured by the bioretention Filter.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, testing in accordance with Appendix D of
the 2024 Stormwater Design Manual must be completed to determine separation
to water table, rock, and infiltration rates.
Soil testing for the stormwater practice on the Specialty Pharmacy will be
conducted soon. A minimum of two borings and two infiltration tests will be
performed in accordance with Appendix D of the 2024 Stormwater Design
Manual.

4. Project plans, and related information, were duly delivered to the Tompkins County Planning
and Sustainability Department per New York State General Municipal Law §§239-l et seq., and
such Department responded in a November 26, 2024, letter from Katherine Borgella, Tompkins
County Commissioner of Planning, pursuant to §§239-l, -m, and -n of the New York State
General Municipal Law, determining that the proposed action will have no significant county-
wide or inter-community impact;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. 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:
Pg. 2
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 project is located on the Cayuga Medical Center campus and will be constructed
behind the existing building adjacent to existing building equipment and parking
facilities.
B. The proposed structure design and site layout are compatible with the surrounding area.
• The proposed design of the +/- 4,500 sq. ft. building uses colors and façade design
consistent with the existing Cayuga Medical Center Campus and site characteristics. The
proposed MOB Specialty Pharmacy driveway and parking area include design and
landscaping elements, continuing the existing parking area characteristics.
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 particular zone.
• The proposed project will produce temporary noise, vibration, and other nuisances
associated with construction of a new generator building and installation of a new
driveway for the MOB. Such nuisances will cease upon completion of the project. The
proposed emergency generators are housed inside of a building in the rear of the site and
away from adjoining properties, thus mitigating potential nuisances from noise created
by the generators.
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 proposed services for the project are of adequate capacity to accommodate the
proposed use.
E. The proposed use, structure design, and site layout comply with all the provisions of the
Town Code and with the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan.
• If necessary variances are received from the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals,
the project complies with the provisions of the Town Code and 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 proposed emergency generator building does not include modification to the
existing emergency vehicle access to the rear of the building, and it is situated away
from the existing helipad safety area located on site. Sidewalks leading from the rear
entrance of the Cayuga Medical Center to the generator building are included for the
Pg. 3
limited pedestrian activity from employees. The driveway for the MOB Specialty
Pharmacy section of the project includes vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian access. All
accessways have been designed with consideration 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.
• This project includes sufficient landscaping surrounding the proposed bioretention areas
and tree plantings along the proposed driveway leading to the MOB Specialty Pharmacy
building.
H. To the extent deemed relevant by the reviewing Board, the proposed use or structure
complies with all the criteria applicable to site plan review set forth in this chapter.
2. That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby grants Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval
for the proposed Cayuga Medical Center Generator building and Pharmacy Building, as
described in the materials listed in Whereas #3 above, subject to the following conditions:
a. Before the issuance of any building permits:
(i) Receipt of any necessary variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals;
(ii) Completion to the satisfaction of the Director of Code Enforcement of the
items in the Town of Ithaca Code Memo dated January 16, 2025;
(iii) Completion to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer of the items in the Town
of Ithaca Engineering Memo dated March 4, 2025, and revised April 23,
2025;
(iv) Review, execution, and filing of a watermain easement with the Town of
Ithaca specifying the Towns access to maintain and repair the watermain
onsite. Easement shall be reviewed by the Town Engineer and Attorney
before filing.
(v) Submission, review, execution, and filing of an Operation, Maintenance and
Reporting agreement for the proposed stormwater management facilities,
with the Town of Ithaca, specifying the ownership and maintenance
responsibilities for the stormwater system, including:
1. Submission of an access easement, or other mechanism, to assure
Town of Ithaca access to the stormwater facilities,
2. Review and approval of the access easement and the “Operation,
Maintenance, and Reporting Agreement” by the Attorney for the
Town and the Town Engineer, and
3. 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,
Pg. 4

RE: Cornell Game Farm Rd Field Hockey Field- Site Plan Review, Special Permit
Enclosed please find materials related to the proposed Cornell Game Farm Road Field Hockey Field
project on Game Farm Road, located immediately east of the existing Cornell soccer fields. The
proposal involves constructing new field hockey facilities in two phases, with phase one including the
conversion of the existing natural grass practice field into a synthetic turf field along with
construction of a new driveway, formalized parking area, pedestrian amenities, and two small
support facilities (a 1,700 +/- square foot restroom/team room building, and a 480 +/- square foot
press box). Phase two involves the construction of a clubhouse for the field hockey team, with locker
rooms, meeting rooms, physical therapy rooms, lounge, toilets, showers, and indoor synthetic turf
training space. The project also includes new lighting, landscaping, stormwater facilities, and other
site improvements.
The purpose of the May 6, 2025, meeting is for the Planning Board to consider granting Preliminary
and Final Site Plan Approval and Special Permit for the project. The following materials are attached
to assist the board:
1. Revised memo from Town of Ithaca Engineering Department, dated April 21, 2025
2. Draft resolution for the board to review and consider (prepared by Planning staff)
3. Applicant report, titled “Game Farm Road Field Hockey Field Supplemental Materials-Phase
1,” dated March 31, 2025
4. Drawings, titled “Cornell University Game Farm Road Field Hockey Field,” dated March 31,
2025
Previous Planning Board Actions
The field hockey project will encompass three parcels located within the Low Density Residential
Zone (LDR) in the Town of Ithaca. The proposed field hockey field use is permitted in the LDR Zone,
following Site Plan and Special Permit approval by the Planning Board. The project a is a Type I Action
under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
The Planning Board reviewed a sketch plan for this project and declared their intent to be the Lead
Agency in the environmental review of the project on November 19, 2024. The Board established
itself as the Lead Agency and began a discussion of potential adverse environmental impacts
2
associated with the project on January 7, 2025. At that same meeting, the Board asked the applicant
and staff to prepare additional research to assist them in making an environmental determination.
The supplemental information was provided to and discussed by the Board on March 4, 2025.
The Planning Board issued a negative determination of environmental significance for the Game Farm
Road Field Hockey Field project on March 18, 2025. As indicated above, the next stage of the review
process is the consideration of Site Plan Approval and Special Permit for the project.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions regarding this proposal by phone at 273-1721,
extension 121, or by email at cbalestra@townithacany.gov.

8. Project plans, and related information, were duly delivered to the Tompkins County Planning
and Sustainability Department per New York State General Municipal Law §§239- l et seq., and
such Department responded in a November 26, 2024, letter from Katherine Borgella, Tompkins
County Commissioner of Planning, pursuant to §§239-l, -m, and -n of the New York State
General Municipal Law, determining that the proposed action will have no significant county-
wide or inter-community impact;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. 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 proposed field will replace an existing grass athletic field; and the proposed access and parking
area will formalize an existing access and parking area. The properties are very large and can easily
physically accommodate a replacement field and associated parking, stormwater management
facilities, buildings, and other project elements. The project is located adjacent to other Cornell
athletic fields, with physical site characteristics that are appropriate for an athletic field or other
recreational use.
B. The proposed structure design and site layout are compatible with the surrounding area.
The proposed small buildings are very low profile and relate to a collegiate field hockey field use.
They are designed to be compatible with the layout of the field and other site elements and are
compatible with the adjacent soccer and baseball field structures.
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.
Per the submitted sound study, the proposed PA sound system will not exceed 50dBA at the nearest
residence, located 1/3 mile south of the project (50dBA is the equivalent of something between the
sound of a suburban area at night and the hum of a household refrigerator). [Staff note for discussion
on 5-6-25: The Full EAF for the project noted that “there could be potential noise impacts if soccer
practices occur at the same time as field hockey games (weekend afternoons/evenings between
4:00pm and 7:00pm), and/or if field hockey practices during the morning hours of 6:30am to
9:30am are deemed a nuisance to the neighbors. The board could mitigate potential adverse sound
impacts by limiting the use of the PA system to certain times of day, certain days of the week, or
3
some other combination.” This should be discussed on 5-6-25 and any mitigation that is decided
should be listed here (and potentially listed as a condition of approval). Outdoor illumination must
comply with the Town Outdoor Lighting Law that requires fully shielded lights; and the applicant
has agreed to use LEDs with a 3000K color temperature for the parking lot lighting.
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.
All services are of adequate capacity to accommodate the use. Cornell will be utilizing their own
sewer infrastructure, which received an exemption from the Town Board per Town Code §214-5 so
Cornell is allowed to use its private sewer infrastructure. The project will require a NYS DEC
SPDES Permit and Tompkins Whole Health Onsite Wastewater Treatment System construction
permit.
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.
The proposed use is the same as the current use (athletic field). The proposed site layout is also
largely the same as the current site layout. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
characterizes this area as appropriate for “Campus” uses, which would include collegiate athletic
fields. The project received area variances from the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals on
April 22, 2025. All remaining elements of this proposal will comply with 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 site contains an access drive and parking area, which will be improved to serve the proposed
athletic field and existing soccer fields. The proposed improvements will contain paths, sidewalks,
bike racks, and other multimodal facilities, along with an improved parking lot and access. The
improvements have been safely designed for emergency vehicles and have been approved by the
Codes Department.
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.
The nearest land use is another collegiate athletic field (soccer field), which will not need buffering
from the project. The project will include landscaping and berms that will sufficiently buffer the
project from those traveling along Ellis Hollow and Game Farm Roads. The project will be located at
least 400+/- feet from Cascadilla Creek. The applicants will install protective fencing around an area
within Stream Setback Zone 2 that could potentially contain artifacts of archaeological significance,
so there will be no disturbance of the creek, artifacts, or surrounding vegetation.
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.
2. That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby authorizes, according to Section 270-227 (A)
(4) of the Town Code, the standard 180 square foot parking space to be reduced to no less than
162 +/- square feet, finding that the reduction will not cause any adverse effects on the project,
on the surrounding properties, or on the neighborhood; and
3. That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby grants Preliminary & Final Site Plan Approval
for the proposed Cornell University Game Farm Road Field Hockey Field Project, located on
4
Game Farm Road, as described in the materials listed in Whereas #’s 3, 5, 6, and 7 above,
subject to the following conditions:
a. Before issuance of building permits, installation of a six-foot tall chain link fence
surrounding the historic component at Locus 2 of the Cascadilla Creek 2 Site (CC2 Locus
2), to protect it during construction of the shallow wetland/stormwater facility near CC2
Locus 2, per the recommendation in the Public Archaeology Facility 2024 Archaeological
Survey addendum,
b. Before issuance of building permits, submission of any necessary Tompkins County
Highway Right-Of-Way permits,
c. All outdoor lighting shall conform to the requirements of the Town of Ithaca Outdoor
Lighting Law and all proposed exterior parking lot and site lighting shall not exceed 3000K
LED color temperature,
d. Per Cornell’s commitment to recycle 100% of the artificial turf materials in the project, once
said materials are at the end of their life, submission to the Planning Department of a
detailed recycling plan, including the facility that is chosen to receive said materials, and
submission of proof from the facility that it accepted and recycled said materials,
e. Submission to the Planning Department of testing results from an independent laboratory
(not affiliated with Cornell or the manufacturer) that conducts third party testing of the
artificial turf materials for the presence of any perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) before the artificial turf materials leave the manufacturer. The artificial turf
materials must comply with NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laws and regulations, including the
requirements of the NYS Carpet Collection Program Law, Environmental Conservation Law
§ 27-3301 through 37-3319. Per Cornell’s commitment to comply with Section 27-3313,
which states that “no carpet sold or offered for sale in the state shall contain or be treated
with PFAS substances for any purpose,” even though that requirement is not effective until
the end of 2026, Cornell must comply with this requirement for both phases of the project,
and
f. Use of the PA sound system shall be limited to [the following days/hours/events…language
to be determined at the 5-6-25 PB meeting]

Updates to Drawings
Technical Drawing Set (separate packet, 11x17 and full-size)
COMMENTS FROM FEAF
In the FEAF Part 3 packet that was adopted on March 18, 2025, there were some notes that we address, here:
1. Excerpt from section: Although OPRHP recommended no additional
archaeological investigation, there should be extra protection of the “CC2 Locus 2” area of the site... during
construction of the shallow wetland/stormwater facilities associated with the field hockey field project.
o Response: CC2 Locus 2 is 100 feet from the project limit of disturbance line and will be protected by an
additional six foot tall chain link fence for the duration of construction. See drawing C102-1 for details.
2. Excerpt from section: It is possible that sound impacts could be exacerbated if
soccer practices occur at the same time as field hockey games (noted above, weekend afternoons/evenings between
4:00pm and 7:00pm) and/or if field hockey practices during the morning hours (6:30am to 9:30am) are considered a
nuisance to neighbors.
o Response: Per the sound study provided in our initial October 3 Site Plan Review Application submission,
the maximum sound levels at all modeled receivers at any time are below the nighttime sound limit levels
in Dryden (55 dBA). In addition, the sound system will not be turned on before 6:45am and will never be on
after 9:00pm.
3. Excerpt from section: It is unclear from the submission whether the shielding for
the proposed athletic field light poles comply with the Town Code §270-173.9. The law requires all lighting to be fully
shielded and angled; and according to page 13 of the application report, the lighting for the field will have a “sharp
cutoff” and not a “fully shielded” luminaire. This needs to be clarified.
o Response: Per page 17 of our January 31 Supplemental Materials submission to the planning staff and
board, the athletic field lighting “fixtures will have sharp cut off features and will be fully shielded, per
Ithaca lighting code, thereby projecting light below a horizontal plane through the luminaire’s lowest light-
emitting part. Per NCAA requirements for safety, playability, and recording, they will have a color
temperature of 5,700K.” In addition, the athletic field lights will always be turned off by 9:00pm.
4. Excerpt from section: The specification sheets for the parking lots lights indicate
that the LED lights can be 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K... the applicant should consider using LEDs with a color
temperature of 3000K for the parking lot lights, particularly in this part of Game Farm Road, where there is low to
moderate ambient lighting.
o Response: Per page 17 of our January 31 Supplemental Materials submission to the planning staff and
board, “lighting for pedestrians [i.e. parking lot lights] will include twenty-two 20’ pole-mounted fixtures.
These fixtures will be dark sky compliant with a color temperature of 3,000K.”
There are six total structures proposed for this site. Two of the structures are team storage sheds, which will be wood framed
and clad in painted or stained wood siding.
Four of the structures – team building, press box building, and dugouts – will be clad with one of two types of corrugated
aluminum panels running vertically (images below) and painted one of two medium-gray colors. The corrugated panels were
chosen for their economy, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic similar to the nearby McGovern Soccer facility and Booth Field
Baseball clubhouse. These buildings will also have aluminum trim painted one of the two medium-gray colors. The team
building will have additional accent pieces of flat aluminum panels painted ‘Cornell Red’. The medium gray colors were
inspired by the Cornell sports branding color palette and help to highlight the Cornell Red accent panels and graphic signage.
Figure: Type I corrugated aluminum sheet
Figure: Type 2 corrugated aluminum sheet
The team building and press box building roofs will be white single-ply PVC membrane. The dugout shelter roofs will be sheet
metal painted one of the two medium-gray colors.
All pedestrian walkways are proposed with a minimum six-foot width. Site paving will include asphalt and concrete walkways.
Site furnishings include bicycle racks and site light poles. Spectator seating grandstands are proposed and to be aluminum
painted light gray and with a vinyl scrim skirt to enclose the undersides of the stands. A water storage tank of black
polyethylene plastic is proposed. Other site materials include an aggregate pathway and a black vinyl chain link fence with
pedestrian and vehicular swing gates along the field hockey field perimeter.
Updates have been made to some of the drawings since they were last provided to the Town planning staff and board – a
majority of these changes are the result of conversations with the Town Engineer and Fire Marshall. For convenience, this
package includes a full set of drawings, which is representative of the current design. Below is a summary of updates made to
the drawings. A more detailed list can be provided if needed.
o Civil set includes additional Erosion and Sediment Control Plans, and Septic Plan and Details.
o Septic tank increased in size (1,500 gallons to 3,500 gallons) and shifted location.
o Fire access to the proposed building and field has been revised based on comments from the Fire Marshall.
o Aggregate pavement path provided for access to existing soccer fields and adjacent walkway layout adjusted.
o Removed walkway parallel to main access drive in southern landscaped island.
o Located two prefabricated storage sheds on previously proposed asphalt pad at the northwest corner of the field
hockey field.
o Footprint of bioretention mix revised and mix species updated for swale and bioretention plantings based on Town
Engineer comments.
o Extents of grass seeding increased to replant all disturbances.
o Plug mix replaced with grass seeding south of upper parking lot and planting island at main drive cul-de-sac.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMO
TO: Planning Board Members
FROM: Christine Balestra, Senior Planner
DATE: April 29, 2025
RE: Ithaca Self-Storage Facility- Final Site Plan Review
Enclosed please find materials for the Ithaca Self-Storage project located at 602 Elmira Road (NYS
Route 13, at the intersection of NYS Route 13A). The project involves the construction of
approximately 24,700 square feet of self-storage in six buildings. The project will be constructed in
two phases and consist of indoor climate controlled storage and standard mini-storage units.
The Planning Board will consider granting Final Site Plan Approval for the project at the May 6, 2025,
meeting. For the benefit of the new Planning Board members, the attachments include a copy of the
staff-prepared location map that was included in the sketch plan packet for the project, along with
the approved SEAR Part 3 attachment that explains the history of the property, proposed project,
and any potential environmental impacts that were identified and considered by the board during the
environmental review process.
Project Approval History
The Planning Board reviewed a sketch plan for this project on October 17, 2023, where the board
provided the applicant with feedback related to the guidelines/requirements of the Inlet Valley
Overlay District (IVOD) relative to architecture, landscaping, and other site elements. The Board asked
the applicant to ensure that all renderings included all aspects of the project (e.g., retaining walls,
landscaping, fences, etc.) and that the perspective drawings accurately portrayed the view of the
project from Elmira Road (NYS Route 13) and Five Mile Drive (NYS Route 13A).
The Planning Board issued a negative determination of environmental significance and granted
Preliminary Site Plan Approval for the project (with conditions) on February 20, 2024, after the
applicant submitted a narrative statement that listed the specific details on how the project complied
with the IVOD design standards and submitted all relevant drawings and plans for the board to
review.
The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) granted a use variance for this proposal on August 21, 2023. As the
plans for the project developed, the Town Code Enforcement Department determined that the
project would require several area variances from the ZBA, in addition to site plan approval from the
Planning Board. The applicants therefore returned before the ZBA on February 27, 2024, where the
board granted the requested area variances for the project.
1
The Preliminary Site Plan Approval that was granted was conditioned upon the following items
(compliance noted in italics in parenthesis):
a. Granting of any necessary variances by the Zoning Board of Appeals (done, see dates above)
b. Revision of sheets C101, C102, and C103, to include the following wording in the Plan Notes:
"This property is subject to the Town of Ithaca Code provisions regarding stream setbacks, and
restrictions and setbacks on development, soil disturbance, vegetation removal, and other
activities apply" (done—see attached revised sheets C101, C102, and C103)
c. Submission of the items listed under the "SWPPP/General" section of the Engineering
Memorandum written by Daniel Thaete, Director of Engineering, dated February 13, 2024
(done—confirmed by Town Engineering staff on 31312025)
d. Approval by the Town Board of the concept and location of the proposed dedicated utilities;
and issuance of a sewer exemption for the proposed onsite wastewater treatment system
(approved 311012025 via Town Board Resolution No. 2024-086)
e. Submission of a site plan phasing rendering, showing the Phase 1 development without Phase
2, (See attached "Landscape& Materials Plan, Schematic Design February 2024, along with
two renderings with some date titled "Phase 1 with existing trees,"and "Phase 1 without
existing trees")
f. Submission of a revised Sheet C102, or submission of a new sheet to delineate all proposed
project phasing more clearly, and to show the sequence of construction (See attached sheet
C102, with phasing highlighted in pink, and construction sequencing listed)
The applicants have satisfied all items required for consideration of final site plan approval. Among
the attachments is a staff-prepared draft final site plan resolution for the board to consider. Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions regarding this proposal by phone at (607) 273-1721, ext.
121, or by email at cbalestra@townithacany.gov.

Project: Ithaca Self Storage, 602 Elmira Road
Actions: Site Plan Approval, Planning Board (PB)
Area Variances, Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA)
Acceptance/Dedication of Certain Utilities, Town Board (TB)
Dates: February 20, 2024 (PB), February 27, 2024 (ZBA), March 10, 2025 (TB)
Physical characteristics of the property: The proposed self-storage facility will be located on vacant
property that was utilized as a fill-site for the storage of fill and construction materials during the NYS
Department of Transportation's (DOT) Route 13/Route 13A intersection and Cayuga Inlet bridge
reconstruction projects in the mid-1990's. Approximately 80% of the property is relatively flat and
clear of vegetation. However, approximately one quarter of the site, particularly the north and west
edges, and along the NYSDOT right-of-way to the east, contains steep slopes and manmade fill
mounds in various stages of natural re-vegetation. Those areas of the property also contain first
succession vegetation (mostly young birch, locust, and sycamore trees) along with some larger
deciduous and evergreen trees, overgrown shrubs, and tall grasses.
This property contains a stream that is tributary to the Cayuga Inlet. During the NYS reconstruction
projects, a portion of the stream was piped underneath and across the property to outlet culverts on
the northeast and west sides of the property, where it currently flows exposed off the property and
onto adjacent properties. The stream eventually filters into a NYS DEC regulated wetland and Unique
Natural Area located on the east side of NYS Route 13A. Some of the most significant slopes found on
the property are located along the stream bank in the north and west areas.
1. Will the proposed action create a material conflict with an adopted land use plan or zoning
regulations?Small impact may occur. The 2014 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map has
characterized this property as "Natural/Open" and "Inlet Valley Gateway." According to the
Comprehensive Plan, this portion of Elmira Road is intended "to be a setting for a mix of office, small-
scale retail, hospitality, tourism, and agritourism uses, with low impact light industrial, artisanal
industrial, and skilled trade uses."
The Town Board adopted the Inlet Valley Overlay District (IVOD) zoning on February 13, 2023 to meet
the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. However, the IVOD prohibits self-storage facilities. Until
February, 2023, the property containing the proposed Ithaca Self-Storage project was zoned Light
Industrial, which permitted self-storage facilities with site plan approval by the Planning Board. Now
that the zoning has changed, the project requires a use variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals
along with site plan approval from the Planning Board. The ZBA granted the use variance for the
project on August 21, 2023.
The project also requires area variances from the ZBA from the following provisions of the IVOD (or
other sections of Town Code):
1. §270-171.6 F (5) (b)—The property is on a corner lot. Access is off Elmira Road (NYS Route 13),
which is a primary street, instead of off a secondary street (Five Mile Drive/NYS Route 13A).
1
The NOD regulations require access off of a secondary street on corner lots. Given the
presence of slopes, large drainage ditches, traffic conditions, and poor site distances along Five
Mile Drive, the access from Emira Road appears to be the safest and most practical access for
the project.
2. §270-171.6 F (2) (a)—The NOD regulations prohibit parking in the front yard. Parking is
proposed in the front yard. This was shown as part of the project and was supported by the PB
and ZBA during the use variance and sketch reviews. There are only 5 parking spaces proposed
for the project, and they are located in a safe manner, buffered by proposed landscaping.
There will be no significant adverse aesthetic or traffic impacts associated with having parking
in the front yard of this project.
3. §270-171.4 &Town Code Chapter 225 —Sprinklers are only proposed for two out of the six
buildings. The NOD regulations reference Town Code, Chapter 225. The project complies with
NYS Code when it comes to sprinkling the structures, but it does not comply with Town Code,
which is more restrictive than NYS Code. The climate-controlled facilities (buildings 1 and 6)
will be sprinkled. Building 1 contains an office that will be occupied. However, the non-climate
controlled buildings will not have sprinklers. These buildings are largely unoccupied, as they
are designed for the storage of things and not for the purpose of human habitation or
occupation. To mitigate fire-related impacts, the non-climate controlled buildings will have
fire-rated walls, per NYS Code provisions.There are no anticipated adverse environmental
impacts associated with not sprinkling four out of the six proposed buildings.
4. §270-171.6 D (12) (a) [21 —The window and door interior side building elevations do not
comply with glazing requirements for the interior site layout of the buildings. The NOD
requires interior side elevations of buildings to contain between 10 and 40%glazing (glass) per
building story, in the form of windows or doors. Fake windows or doors can be substituted up
to 50% of the time. The interior layout of the proposed buildings cannot meet the glazing
requirement. The requirement is an aesthetic feature that creates a pleasing aesthetic for
public-facing aspects of buildings. Four of the six structures do not face a public street and
cannot be seen by the public. All exterior (public/road facing) aspects of the buildings comply
with the glazing requirement. There are not anticipated significant adverse aesthetic impacts
associated with granting a variance from the interior glazing provisions for the buildings.
5. §270-219.5 —Stream Setback Law—The property contains a stream along the western
boundary that is regulated by Town Code §270-219.5, which prohibits development and limits
soil disturbing activities within designated stream setbacks. For this project, the stream that is
regulated requires a 50-foot setback per stream side, with "zone 1" being the 30-foot area
immediately adjacent to the stream and "zone 2" being the remaining 20-foot area next to
zone 1.The proposal contains a small portion of a retaining wall, dry swale, and driving lane
that comprises approximately 200s.f. total area that impedes into stream setback zone 2 along
the northwest corner of the project. The dry swale is permitted in zone 2, but the other
2
features are prohibited without an area variance. Aside from a variance, this requires a
mitigation plan that offsets the effects of the proposed encroachment into the stream setback.
The applicant proposes to offset erosion impacts through the utilization of stormwater devices
that will capture sediment before it is conveyed back into the stream. Additionally, the
applicant proposes to install non-invasive, deer resistant plantings immediately adjacent to the
proposed retaining wall in zone 2, to mitigate the disturbance to the riparian buffer that
currently exists. This will serve to mitigate impacts to the stream.
6. §270-171.6 D (14), -D (14) (b), -G. (1) (a), and §270-225 — Requested variances from these
Code provisions are a result of having multiple "principal" (main) buildings on one parcel. The
self-storage proposal involves six buildings on one parcel, which is typical of a self-storage use.
However, the NOD provisions were written with one principal building per parcel in mind. As
such, the requirements related to public entrance location, sidewalk connectivity, and
structures facing the main street would usually only apply to one structure on a parcel. In this
case, there are six "principal" buildings, so all six theoretically need to have a public entrance,
connect to the main street via sidewalks, and face the main street.This is not possible for the
self-storage project and would not likely be possible for any multiple structured project on this
property.The applicant provides for pedestrian access from Elmira Road/NYS Route 13 to
Building 1, which contains the office (the only public space in the project). But all other
buildings on the property are not designed for public access—they are walk-up storage
facilities. Constructing all six buildings to face Elmira Road/NYS Route 13, each with its own
public entrance, and each with sidewalk connections to Elmira Road would be impractical and
illogical.
Although self-storage facilities are prohibited in the NOD, they do not necessarily create a material
conflict with the NOD provisions. Part of the goal of the NOD is to enhance the Elmira Road corridor's
distinctive characteristics by fostering and building on the semi-rural assets that currently exist. Self-
storage facilities are typical uses found in semi-rural landscapes, although they are generally
unattractive and detract from the aesthetic of an area. The IVOD's architectural design standards and
requirements provide an opportunity for the proposed Ithaca Self-Storage project to show sensitivity
to the surrounding natural area, with elements that are in context with the semi-rural character of
Elmira Road. To that end, the self-storage structures in the NOD may be more attractive than typical
self-storage buildings.
2. Will the proposed action result in a change in the use or the intensity of the use of land?
Small impact may occur. This property has been vacant for many decades. Developing the property at
all will change the use and the intensity of the use of land. It is a highly disturbed site, due to the NYS
DOT projects mentioned above. Additionally, the property contains a NYS DOT right-of-way with steep
slopes that would create a challenge for most types of development. There was a proposal for a self-
storage facility on the property in 2010, but the applicant only appeared before the Planning Board
for a sketch plan review and never returned for approval.
3
The NOD provisions allow many types of uses for this property that would change the use and
intensity of the use of the land, e.g., bed and breakfasts, hotels, veterinary clinics, day care centers,
health/fitness uses, restaurants, professional offices, retail and commercial uses, small light industrial
uses, cultural facilities, etc. The proposed Ithaca Self-Storage project is a less intense use of land than
other permitted uses.
3. Will the proposed action impair the character or quality of the existing community? Small
impact may occur. The Elmira Road corridor has a very diverse community character. The NOD
provisions are specifically designed to create an attractive and appealing character for the corridor
that is safe and inviting to residents and visitors. Some portions of the NOD design standards are
required and some are strongly encouraged ("must" versus "should"). The Zoning Board granted the
use variance for the project, and the applicant has complied as closely as possible with the NOD
design standards. The proposed building designs are significantly different than typical self-storage
structures, and comply with the design aesthetic intended for the Inlet Valley Corridor.
The project includes a landscaping plan that contains a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees and
shrubs. The proposed plantings will serve to buffer the aesthetic impact of Buildings 1, 2, and 6 from
the public view. There are also plantings proposed along the Elmira Road frontage of the parking lot,
serving as an additional aesthetic buffer. The plan complies with the NOD landscaping provisions.
In terms of site lighting, the project includes two site light poles, along with 49 wall pack lights. The
light poles are 18 feet tall, with one located at the Elmira Road entrance and the other located along
northeastern corner of the property. The proposed poles comply with all Town Code provisions,
including shielding, and are proposed to be 3000K LED color temperature (according to drawing C105
and the lighting specification sheets provided in the application materials). The wall pack lights are
proposed for the buildings themselves; and there are two manufacturers listed on the plans. The
Amon wall pack light specification sheets do not specify a color temperature, but the lights comply
with the NOD provisions and the provisions of the Town Outdoor Lighting Law. The Lumark wall packs
will be 3000K LED color temperature, although it's unclear from the materials if the lights will have
fully shielded cutoffs. Staff recommends fully shielded-cutoff wall packs, as they will essentially
guarantee that no light pollution or glare will occur with the project.
5. Will the proposed action result in an adverse change in the existing level of traffic or affect
existing infrastructure for mass transit, biking, or walkway?Small impact may occur. Self-storage
facilities typically have much lower traffic impacts than other commercial and retail uses. This is
primarily because self-storage facilities do not attract existing traffic (e.g., like a fast-food restaurant
would) nor are they destinations for most people (e.g., state park, recreational facility). According to
the most recent manual of the Institute of Traffic Engineering, the project is expected to generate
around 38 daily trips total, with 4 trips during the peak AM hour and 7 trips during the peak PM hour.
Comparatively, the most recent average daily traffic count from the Elmira Road (NYS Route 13)/Five
Mile Drive (NYS Route 13A) intersection to the City of Ithaca line numbered 1,451 cars during the
peak PM hour (2020 traffic counts from NYS, as reported by the Ithaca-Tompkins County
4
Transportation Council). Elmira Road receives around 17,000 cars a day on average, so there is no
expected change to the existing level of traffic associated with the self-storage project. The project
will not affect existing infrastructure for mass transit, biking, or walkways.
The proposed use will require another highway curb cut off NYS Route 13/Elmira Road. The applicant
has located the new access as far from the intersection of NYS Route 13 and NYS Route 13A as safely
possible, given the property's slopes and sight lines from the intersection. The NYS DOT will need to
approve this access location, and the Zoning Board and Planning Boards may condition their approvals
on the NYS DOT approval.
7. Will the proposed action impact existing:
a. public/private water supplies? Public water supply will be delivered to the development via a
320 LF 8-inch ductile iron water main extension along Elmira Road. This extension will provide for
the installation of one fire hydrant and associated domestic water service to the facility. Impacts
to the West Hill water system will be negligible.
b. public/private wastewater treatment utilities?The development proposes the installation of a
private onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS). The installation of an OWTS is permissible
only through Town Board exemption, as the applicant is required, by Town Law, to connect to the
public sewer system. The installation of an OWTS or connection to the town sewer system will
have negligible impacts.
10. Will the proposed action result in an increase in the potential for erosion, flooding, or drainage
problems?The drawings submitted by the applicant show a significant increase in impervious
surfaces associated with the development. Preserving existing vegetation where it is more
established, especially along the stream bank and slopes, and providing a landscaping plan that
contains native, non-invasive tree and plant species, will reduce the overall impacts of the
development. The applicant is required to comply with all applicable Town and/or NYS DEC
Stormwater Management Regulations to address water quality and water quantity issues.
Regarding Part 1, question 12b: According to the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation Cultural Resources Information System program, the property is in an area that could be
archaeologically sensitive. However, this is a highly disturbed site, due to a 1990's NYS DOT
reconstruction project. Therefore, any archaeological resources would have been discovered with
prior disturbances.
Regarding Part 1, question 13a: As mentioned above, there is a stream located adjacent to the
property on the north and west sides. Although the stream is piped and culverted on the property,
the applicant will be required to comply with the Town of Ithaca Stormwater Management Law and
NYS DEC stormwater regulations to ensure protection of the stream during and post construction.
There is also a NYS DEC regulated wetland and Tompkins County Unique Natural Area located across
NYS Route 13A, approximately 460+/- feet northeast of the property. The wetland and UNA will be
unaffected by the proposed use.

@TownofIthacaVideo
(Written comments submitted at the meeting or after posting of the official mailout packet and 24
hours after the meeting can be found in the updated packet online and will be filed permanently
with the project folder along with any other comments received after the post meeting deadline.)
Present: Caitlin Cameron, Chair; Liz Bageant, Bill Arms, Sara Reynolds, and Vince Ferrara
Absent: Cindy Kaufman and Kelda McGurk

the Town; David O’Shea, Director of Engineering; Dana Magnuson, Senior Code Officer
Ms. Cameron opened the meeting at 6:30p.m.
1. Persons to be heard
Heather Crandall spoke urging an extension of the Code Blue Shelter hours of operation.
2. Consideration of Preliminary & Final Site Plan Approval and Special Permit for the
proposed Ithaca College Eastman and Landon Hall Renovations, 953 Danby Road,
MDR. The project involves renovations of the existing dormitory buildings including color
changes, recoating existing building materials, repair, and replacement of existing
architectural building features, the addition of a new concrete slab on grade at the entry for
an existing mechanical room at Landon Hall, modifications to the grade at an entryway for
Eastman Hall, and other building modifications. The project is a Type II Action under the
State Environmental Quality Review Act and is not subject to environmental review. Steve
Dayton, Owner/Applicant; Vincent Nicotra, Agent.
Overview and Board Questions
Vincent Nicotra stated that this project is mostly exterior renovations to repair and refurbish
portions of two buildings. He referenced the packet materials and showed samples of the
proposed exterior materials and colors. He explained that the same type of minor roof and
building renovations were planned for all ten residence halls, but the college could only afford to
renovate a certain number of buildings annually. The Planning Board can expect similar
proposals in the future until the whole project is complete.
The proposal is a Type II Action pursuant to SEQR, so there is no environmental review or issue
with segmentation.
Public Hearing
Opened at 6:51p.m. There was no one wishing to speak and the hearing was closed.

Good people on the Planning Boards,
Since we area residents rely on your informed judgment about the safety of projects that come before you, it is
incumbent upon you to be as well-informed as possible.
Unlike a jury trial,where jurors are selected precisely because they know little to nothing about the case before them,
your task is to bring you understanding of the larger context to the project and the specific information before you.
This presentation will undoubtedly be of use to you, and I would urge the staff to view it as well.
https://www.beyondplastics.org/events/webinar-may-2025-microplastics-impact
As you well know, our national and global situation is rapidly changing, both climate and national/international
relations. In order to be effective, our boards and support staff must join together to become learning organizations.
Otherwise,we are always at square one and that is a recipe for failure.
Thank you for reading my comments and thinking about them.
Sincerely,
Regi Teasley

Good Morning Ms. Faraj,
I am the Town Clerk who manages the ZOOM program during the meeting. I am confused and would really
like to understand how you were "barred"from the meeting.
Feel free to call me at 607-273-1721 opt 1 or if you could answer these questions, maybe I could figure it
out.
Are we talking about the Planning Board meeting on March 3rd that began at 6:30pm and ended at about
10pm and we did take a 10 minute break around 9pm?
At what time did you try to attend?
How did you try to attend the meeting? In person? Via Zoom?
How and who told the meeting was over?
One possibility is the persons to be heard was held at the beginning of the meeting. Because there was no
Public Hearing associated with the agenda item concerning the Game Farm Road project, people who
wanted to comment did so under Persons to be Heard.
IF someone from the public left the meeting after speaking or after the Persons to be Heard agenda item
was closed, someone from the public could have meant that part of the meeting, or the opportunity to
speak, was over.
As Abby said, all our meetings of all boards and committees are open to the public and most are held here
at Town Hall where the public can attend in person. Four of our meetings are held hybrid, meaning in
person and via ZOOM for the public to participate either way,during agenda items that are either Persons
to be Heard,or Public Hearings.
Thank you in advance for any clarification you can provide,

To the Town of Ithaca Planning Board Members,
I am Joe Wilson. I have appeared before you in the past. I am
a retired lawyer. I recently completed 9 years of service on a
nearby Town's planning board. By training, observation and
practice, I am familiar with standard practices among the
several planning boards in the area. I have followed your
approval process for the Game Farm field installation. I am
aware of the well-established health and safety consequences
of the installation and use of artificial turf fields such as those
proposed.
Consistent with what I understand to be standard planning
board practice, I urge you to make your site plan approval
specifically conditioned on the implementation of the several
commitments by Cornell to ensure the health, safety and
welfare of those of us likely to be impacted by the installation
and use of the artif icial turf f ields at the Game Farm site.

Town of Ithaca Planning Board:
I am a resident of Tompkins County,and am seriously concerned about how we are locally
continuing to pollute our planet.Plastic turf fields are polluting,dangerous, and unnecessary.
As you consider approving the site plan for the artificial turf field at Game Farm on Ellis
Hollow Road,many of us in the community urge you to make approval conditional on the
implementation of Cornell's commitments to take measures that will minimize adverse effects on the
environment and protect the health,welfare,and safety of all who use the facilities.What will
guarantee that Cornell even follows through with their promises? Please do everything in your power
to ensure that the University will follow through with these commitments over the life of the projects,
up to and including their eventual disposal.
It's clear that Cornell is ignoring our concerns, and we are afraid that you,as a Board, are also
ignoring them.We are disappointed in the NEG DEC, and hope that at least,you can hold Cornell
accountable in the future.Many of the problems will intensify as the plastic ages.
Just because Cornell is large and rich,it should not be able to ignore the science and community
concerns. I know we cannot sue,as we don't have "standing,"but this is our little piece of the earth and
we are trying our best to protect it.Please do the right thing.

Comment on the Proposed Site Plan Approval for the Cornell Game Farm Road
Facility Project
May 5, 2025
Dear Planning Board Members,
I was very disappointed in the lack of rigor applied to the complex issues
raised by the public during this project's environmental review. Several
commenters had subject matter expertise that received little consideration from
Planning Board members. I wish to reflect on these issues briefly prior to
advocating for some measures that might address the review's shortcomings.
There is nothing to be done about the excess greenhouse gas emissions
that will result from the plastics produced for this project. Albeit relatively small in
quantity many such poor decisions aggregated from unrelated projects will
contribute to the acceleration of the existential climate threat. The present
atmospheric concentration of CO2 is the highest in 14 million years
(https://phys.org/news/2023-12-current-carbon-dioxide-million-years.html). In a
recently peer-reviewed paper, published in the journal Earth System Dynamics,
humankind is at risk of triggering various climate "tipping points" absent urgent
action to dramatically reduce planet-heating emissions from fossil fuels. Once
these tipping points are achieved, there will be little likelihood that a catastrophic
impact on civil society may be avoided
In recent years, forever chemicals have been increasingly recognized as one
of the most significant environmental threats of our time. They persist in the
environment for millenniums. They spread rapidly through air and water, polluting
ecosystems and human bodies everywhere, and there they stay, with the potential
to damage cells and alter our DNA. PFAS, the best studied of these chemicals, has
been linked to obesity, infertility, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, immune
suppression and life-threatening pregnancy complications, among other maladies.
But unlike the daunting environmental threat, climate change, forever chemicals
have spawned a forceful bipartisan response, driven by a network of unlikely
activists. Across the country, thousands of ordinary Americans whose lives have
been upended by PFAS — firefighters, farmers, factory workers, veterans and
suburban moms — are fighting to turn off the tap on these chemicals. Their
efforts, which often differ from those of conventional environmental groups, have
helped ignite a chain reaction that has led to numerous congressional hearings
and hundreds of bipartisan bills in Washington and statehouses, as well as federal
regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency has set near-zero caps on
several PFAS in drinking water
(https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/opinion/forever-chemicals-pfas-
pfoa.html?smid=nytcore-ios-
share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c&pvid=8F315D89-1F71-4E1E-948E-
F715275B6EAF). Unfortunately, it appears that we have not yet achieved such
consensus on the seriousness of this threat locally and there are few here that
apparently support the precautionary principle.
None of the above was considered a significant impact in the Planning
Board's determination. Had these issues been discussed in more detail and had
the Planning Board availed itself of third-party independent support via an
environmental impact study, there might have been a substantive outcome that
the community could have embraced. At the March 18 meeting approximately 15
residents spoke in opposition to various aspects of the project. Soon thereafter,
without discussing any of the comments, the Board voted unanimously to Neg
Dec the project. The need for an EIS for a Town project is infrequent, yet the
Planning Board will apparently never utilize this valuable tool even when the
subject matter under review may be beyond the members personal expertise. Do
not members wish to encourage the community to view their decisions as
legitimate? Should the NCAA facility requirements for field hockey be prioritized
over public health and environmental considerations.
Often commitments during the environmental review process are regarded
by applicants as little more than public relations gestures. Once a project is under
construction, the promises may be quickly forgotten by al involved unless
memorialized. The community residents are requesting that the Planning Board
make the commitments regarding PFAS-free turf, the proposed filtration system,
and the recycling plan be made conditional and enforceable in the Site Plan
Approval. As the former Chair of HeatSmart Tompkins, having experienced
significant positive interaction with the Town's Code Enforcement staff, I have
strong faith in their ability to supervise conditions included with the Final Site Plan
Approval. The area of the artificial turf field will never be a greenfield again, but if
we remain focused on our public health and environmental policy objectives, we
may mitigate some of the potential damage. Please support the reasonable
requests from the community's residents.

Members of the Town of Ithaca Planning Board„
I have lived in Ithaca for 40 years. This is my home.
I am urging you to reassess your process and actively listen to, and center, informed residents and taxpayers in your
decisions.
As a retired Sociologist, I am familiar with organizational structure, function and dysfunction. As you may know,
organizations have formal and informal cultures that powerfully impact human behavior. As well, small group dynamics
factor into the actions of their members. They can come to feel there are in-groups and out-groups.
The recent process of the Town of Ithaca Planning Board has been very concerning to me. Over the past several months I
have submitted written comments and made oral comments pertaining to proposed artificial turf fields at Cornell
University. I have carefully followed the meetings.
Unfortunately, throughout this period,the board appeared to be group of people that was as concerned with internal
harmony as with their board obligations. Some of you seem unable to see the impact of board decisions. I saw little
interest in learning from experience and prior decisions taken. A learning organization involves questioning process and
seeking to better understand matters of importance. We can all improve our work.
I fear that most members lack full understanding of ecosystems, watersheds,water quality issues, and public health
issues, and may be unfamiliar with evaluating scientific research. Instead, it appeared that you relied on the promises of
Cornell representatives.
Were you unduly influenced by Cornell representatives and advocates for the playing fields? Were you the neutral and
discerning body that we residents need you to be?
I deeply care about the viability of our area, a particularly valuable region in a period of climate crisis. Do you? I wonder
if you can fulfill your mission to protect our community from unnecessary risks.
But now you have an opportunity to reassess process, receive relevant training and truly serve the community. The
future we face is problematic, to say the least, can we rely on you to step up to the challenge?
Sincerely,
Regi Teasley, Ph.D.

Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances Lowell Center
for Sustainable
(PFAS) in Artificial Turf: Test Methods Production
-----
-- ----- -- -- --
July 2024 UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS LOWELL
Municipalities and institutions often face questions regarding the presence of PFAS in artificial turf as they
make decisions about play surfacing.
This document is designed to provide information for municipalities, schools, community members and
others about key concepts and considerations for obtaining and understanding laboratory tests. It builds
upon and updates an earlier fact sheet, "Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Artificial Turf
Carpet" (2020).2
PFAS Vocabulary and Definitions
PFAS are a category of organic chemicals that contain fluorine atoms bonded to carbon atoms. There are
many PFAS chemicals—the US EPA Comptox database identifies nearly 15,000 PFAS chemicals.3-s
Definitions. A variety of definitions of the term PFAS have been developed by state, federal and other
entities. Some definitions have been updated over time to reflect a new understanding of the science of
PFAS, or to reflect policy priorities. The definition published by the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) is useful as a current, authoritative, and practical definition:
"PFASs are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated
methyl or methylene carbon atom (without any H/Cl/Br/1 atom attached to it), i.e.with
a few noted exceptions, any chemical with at least a perfluorinated methyl group (—
CF3) or a perfluorinated methylene group (—CF2—) is a PFAS."'
In some situations, a definition is provided for "regulated PFAS." For example, one California regulation
on PFAS in certain products provides a test method and a detection limit within its definition of
regulated PFAS.6 This approach allows for implementation without the need to determine chemical
structure of each compound.
Nomenclature. Detailed information on PFAS nomenclature is available in the Interstate Technology and
Regulatory Council (ITRC) fact sheet, "Naming Conventions and Physical and Chemical Properties of Per-
and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)." Chemicals classified as PFAS include polymers and non-
polymers.'Terminology that can arise in discussions of non-polymer PFAS include distinctions between
"long chain" and "short chain" PFAS, and distinctions between "linear" and "branched" PFAS.'
Certain PFAS are referred to as "precursors." As described by ITRC, "Polyfluoroalkyl PFAS that degrade to
create PFAAs [Perfluoroalkyl acids] are referred to as 'precursors."' PFAAs "are some of the least
complex PFAS and currently are the class of PFAS most commonly tested for in the environment."'
Certain laboratory tests focus specifically on precursors, as described below.
Sources of PFAS in artificial turf
PFAS can be used in molding and extrusion of plastic products, including artificial turf.9,'o One function
of PFAS is to prevent the polymer from sticking to manufacturing equipment.
As explained by Dr. Heather Whitehead, "Specific uses of PFAS in the production of plastic and rubbers
includes the application of polymeric fluorinated polymer processing aids as extrusion agents, non-
polymeric PFAS as mold release agents for plastics and resins, and the direct production of
fluoropolymer plastics and rubbers."11,12 Fluorinated polymer processing aids (fPPAs) are polymers that
are used "in the molding and extrusion of various grades of plastic." They may be "added directly to
raw plastic resins," before the mixture is "heated, mixed and extruded or blown into a final plastic
product.""
Some PFAS processing additives on the market specify artificial grass as an intended use.10,11,13 In this
case, PFAS is added to the artificial grass polymer mixture before it is passed through an extruder. An
extruder is manufacturing equipment that melts and forms the polymer mixture into its desired shape.
As explained by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, information is available from
patent literature and other sources on the potential use of fluorinated materials as processing aids,
coating treatments, binding matrices, and flame retardants in artificial turf. NJ DEP notes, "Since PFAS
are included in the chemical makeup of fluoropolymers that are added as polymer processing aids to
improve plastic extrusion, there is also the potential of leaving a low-level fluoropolymer residual on
the product following processing."
Health and Environmental Concerns
Most PFAS chemicals break down into a common set of degradation products. These degradation
products are highly persistent in the environment; they do not break down under normal
environmental conditions. Some can remain in the environment for hundreds of years. As a result,
introducing them into the environment has long-lasting consequences. In addition, PFAS pose
bioaccumulation concerns.14-z1
The human health effects of certain PFAS have been studied in depth due to widespread contamination of
drinking water in some areas of the US, and from studies of health effects in fluorocarbon workers. Other
PFAS have been studied in laboratory animals. Health effects documented for some PFAS include increased
risk of some cancers, including kidney, testicular, and prostate cancers; effects on the endocrine system,
including liver and thyroid; metabolic effects such as increased cholesterol or risk of obesity; developmental
effects or delays in children; reproductive effects such as decreased fertility and complications in
pregnancy; neurotoxicity; and immunotoxicity, including reduced vaccine response.22-24 Studies of
polymeric PFAS also indicate that some can break down into smaller, potentially more reactive molecules in
the environment.'
PFAS have been studied by many governmental and intergovernmental entities, including the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA),
PFAS in Artificial Turf: Test Methods 2
and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Researchers have emphasized the need to address PFAS as a
group rather than one by one.18,10,11
PFAS Testing: Units of Measurement and Detection Limits
PFAS testing includes a variety of methods and approaches. Understanding the range of PFAS testing
options can be complex because of the large number of individual chemicals in the class with varying
carbon chain lengths and functional groups, and the evidence of adverse effects at very low concentrations.
The choice of test method also must take account of the types of materials being tested. The following
sections summarize some of the key terminology and considerations that are relevant when choosing
testing methods and interpreting results.
Units of Measurement
Because of the hazards of PFAS at very low concentrations, the presence of PFAS in drinking water is
generally measured in parts per trillion (ppt). PFAS information may also be shown in parts per billion (ppb)
or parts per million (ppm), which are larger units of measurement. One ppm is a million times larger than
one ppt: 1 ppm = 1,000 ppb = 1,000,000 ppt. As explained in an EPA publication, another way to
understand these units is by "equating ppm to 'one drop in one million gallons,' ppb to 'one drop in one
billion gallons,' [and] 'ppt to one drop in one trillion gallons."'z6
Analytical laboratories may use a variety of units to report concentrations of PFAS. For example, one lab
may present results as nanograms per liter (ng/L), while another may present the same information in ppt.
These units represent the same concentration. Below are several examples of unit conversion for water and
solid materials.z6,z'
Examples of Unit Conversions
Parts per million(ppm)=microgram per gram (µg/g); milligram per kilogram (mg/Kg); milligram per liter(mg/L);
nanogram per microliter(ng/µQ
Parts per billion(ppb)=microgram per kilogram (µg/Kg); nanogram per gram (ng/g); microgram per liter(µg/L)
Parts per trillion (ppt)=nanogram per kilogram (ng/Kg/); nanogram per L(ng/L)
Detection Limits
When ordering PFAS analyses or interpreting results, it is important to understand detection limits. If the
detection limit is too high, useful information may be missed. When ordering a test or reading test results,
check the detection limit to see if it corresponds to the information you need. For example, if you need
PFAS in Artificial Turf: Test Methods 3
information on substances that may be present at the ppb or ppt level, be sure that these levels are
captured in the testing.
It can also be important to know that in some cases, a laboratory can determine that a chemical is present,
but cannot accurately quantify the concentration that is present.
A variety of terms are used to describe detection and quantitation limits. For example, EPA Method 1633
defines a "method detection limit" and a "limit of quantitation."28 Commercial laboratories may distinguish
between "method detection limit" and "reporting limit." Academic laboratories may distinguish between
"instrument detection limit" and "method detection limit."29 And the Department of Defense distinguishes
among "detection limit," "limit of detection," and "limit of quantitation."30 Regardless of the vocabulary
used, it is important to check definitions and to ensure that the limits of the test conducted are appropriate
for the decision-making needs of those using the test results.
Results may have laboratory-added "flags" or qualifiers that provide additional information. For example, a
letter may be used to indicate that the substance is present but cannot be quantified accurately.
Vocabulary and acronyms used in lab reports can differ among laboratories, so it is important to read the
definitions in each report.
PFAS Testing: Methods
There are multiple factors to consider when choosing appropriate PFAS testing methods and interpreting
resultS.31 The US EPA has developed methods for measuring PFAS for regulatory and monitoring purposes
for measuring PFAS in water, soil, sediment, biosolids, and fish tissue.32 The international standards
development organizations American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) have also developed methods for measuring PFAS.33 However, there
are currently no consistent guidelines for testing PFAS in synthetic materials, such as plastic and rubber.
Some laboratories use modified versions of US EPA testing methods to measure PFAS in certain synthetic
materials.
There are various approaches for targeted testing of individual PFAS compounds in samples. However,
these methods only provide information on a limited number of compounds and for specific sample types.
In many cases, testing is limited to a small group of non-polymeric PFAS that have been a particular focus of
regulatory activity. For example, US EPA has published methods for testing between 18 and 40 types of
PFAS depending on the method and sample type (see the summary of EPA methods in Table 1).32 Lack of
detection of these individual chemicals does not indicate that all PFAS are absent.
Other methods have been developed to understand the presence or concentrations of all PFAS in a sample,
such as methods for measuring the presence of fluorine-containing organic (carbon-containing) compounds
without identifying specific chemicals. These are discussed in greater detail below.
Sample preparation/extraction. It is helpful to review the laboratory's approach, including choice of
extraction solvent, to understand whether the resulting data will answer the questions that the
organization wants to prioritize. For example, a test that estimates PFAS leaching into rainwater will not
necessarily be sufficient to answer questions about PFAS presence and concentration in the material. It is
PFAS in Artificial Turf: Test Methods 4
important for a laboratory to use appropriate methods, including an appropriate extraction solvent, to
answer the questions at hand.
When understanding how PFAS may leach from materials into rainwater, the US EPA recommends using an
appropriate extraction fluid that is relevant to regional environmental conditions, such as rain acidity.34
Choice of laboratory. In general, organizations ordering a PFAS test should use an analytical laboratory that
has experience analyzing PFAS in plastic materials. The choice of a laboratory to work with may depend on
the goals of a testing effort. For example, academic laboratories can use innovative methods, while
certified commercial laboratories can provide data that may be used in legal or regulatory settings.
Targeted PFAS analysis
Targeted chemical analyses are methods used to gather information about a specific, targeted list of
chemicals.32 Existing targeted analyses for PFAS only measure a small number of the nearly 15,000 PFAS
that exist.
EPA initially developed standard targeted methods for measuring a small number of PFAS in drinking
water and wastewater, with a primary focus on regulatory activity.32 Some labs modified these
methods to measure additional PFAS and to test other media, such as solids. In January 2024, EPA
developed Method 1633, which can measure at least 40 PFAS compounds in wastewater, surface
water, groundwater, soil, biosolids, sediment, landfill leachate, and tissue samples.
Table 1 presents a summary of EPA's targeted PFAS testing methods. Note that the table describes only
EPA methods. Other methods also exist; for example, some laboratories may use methods from ASTM
or ISO. Certain methods may be quicker and lower cost than others, but may be less rigorous and have
higher detection limits.35 Thus, it is essential to discuss the goals for the sample analysis with the
laboratory in order to choose an analysis method and detection limits that will result in data usable for
decision-making.
Non-Targeted PFAS Analysis
Non-targeted chemical analyses are methods used to gather information about a wide range of chemicals
that may be present. Unlike targeted analyses, non-targeted analyses do not 'look for' specific chemicals,
but attempt to identify all chemical signals in the data. These methods can be used to investigate the
presence of PFAS that cannot be measured using other chemical-specific methods. These methods include
use of high resolution mass spectrometry that can identify known and unknown analytes in a sample.32
Once chemicals have been identified using a non-targeted analysis, additional analyses can be used to
measure or estimate the quantity.

measurement of fluorine atoms, in both organic and inorganic forms, without identifying specific
compounds.This kind of test can be a useful first step to determining the likelihood of the presence of PFAS
in a sample.31 These measurements can be performed on aqueous or solid samples and are generally more
affordable than other PFAS analysis methods.ss
TF can be measured using particle-induced gamma ray emission (PIGE) spectroscopy, and other techniques
such as combustion ion chromatography(CIC) and combustion with an ion-selective electrode.Total
fluorine analyses may also be modified to avoid detecting fluoride, which is fluorine in an inorganic form.'
If this is important,the sample must either undergo extraction into a solvent or adsorption onto a medium that will not
collect inorganic fluorine or be analyzed directly for inorganic fluoride before measuring total fluorine.

Organic Fluorine Analysis
PFAS are organic (carbon-containing) chemicals. Organic fluorine analyses consider the organic form of
fluorine—that is, fluorine that is bonded to carbon. Fluorine can also exist in inorganic (non-carbon-
bonded) forms. Inorganic forms of fluorine are not PFAS.
Organic fluorine analyses can capture a broader range of PFAS compounds than targeted analyses, because
they show the presence or absence of a group of chemicals, rather than measuring individual chemicals.
EPA and other researchers are investigating whether measuring organic fluorine can be used as a chemical
class-based analytical method for PFAS.3738 To obtain information about total organic fluorine, it is possible
to determine total fluorine and then subtract the inorganic portion. Other types of organic fluorine analyses
include extractable and adsorbable organic fluorine analyses.
As described by EPA, "the most common sources of organofluorines are PFAS and non-PFAS compounds
such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals."39 Some pharmaceuticals and pesticides contain or are considered
PFAS.4o,4i The vocabulary used to describe these compounds depends in part on the choice of definition of
the term PFAS.
Total organic fluorine. To account for the possible presence of fluoride (an inorganic form of fluorine) in a
sample, some labs can test a sample for both fluoride and total fluorine. If fluoride is not detected, it is
usually reasonable to conclude that all of the fluorine in the sample is organic fluorine. If fluoride is
detected, it can be quantified and subtracted from the total fluorine for an estimation of total organic
fluorine.b
Extractable and adsorbable organic fluorine analyses. Extractable organic fluorine (EOF) tests measure only
organic fluorine by removing the inorganic fraction of fluorine through extraction.38 Following extraction,
fluorine can be measured using CIC. Extractable organic fluorine analyses are limited to compounds that
can be extracted using the chosen extraction method. In 2024, EPA published a method for measuring
adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF, Method 1621) in aqueous matrices. This method uses granular activated
carbon to adsorb fluorinated compounds, and its utility can vary depending on the chain length of the
fluorinated compounds in the sample.42
Total Oxidizable Precursor Assay
A Total Oxidizable Precursor (TOP) Assay allows researchers to indirectly assess the presence of a wide
range of PFAS, many of which are missed by targeted methods.
This method mimics environmental degradation by oxidizing a sample, allowing "precursors" to degrade
into perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs).9 One portion of a sample is analyzed for PFAS and a second portion is
oxidized and then analyzed for PFAS. The difference between the pre-oxidation PFAS content and the post-
oxidation PFAS content is an estimate of the amount of precursors in the sample.
b Gillian Miller of Ecology Center has noted that this approach comes with a caveat that certain materials, particularly
geological particles(rocks),are not suitable for total fluorine testing via combustion or inorganic fluoride testing via ion-
selective electrode. Erroneous results may occur, for example,from fertilizer containing phosphate rock.
PFAS in Artificial Turf: Test Methods 7
TOP assay enables researchers to detect the presence of precursors, even if they do not know which
specific precursors are present.43
Interpreting Test Results
Interpreting and comparing testing results across sites and sample types can be challenging due to
variations in methods used for analysis, units and reporting protocols, quality control criteria, and data
review procedures across labs.44 The level of detail needed for interpretation and assessment of data
quality depend on the goals of testing. A pilot or general screening study may need less detail than that
needed for enforcement actions or comparison to regulatory standards, for example.
When interpreting laboratory test results, it is important to understand which tests were conducted and
what those tests can detect. For example, if an organization is interested in determining whether
fluoropolymers are present in the product, an appropriate test must be selected. Typical methods for
targeted PFAS or for extractable organic fluorine will not detect fluoropolymers, while total fluorine will
detect them (although not identify them). Therefore, a total fluorine test is an important step to detect the
presence of fluoropolymers.
It is also important to understand that the lack of detection of one or more specific PFAS does not indicate
that a material is free of PFAS. For example, if a sample is tested for 40 PFAS compounds ("target" list), and
none were detected, this means the sample did not contain those 40 compounds at the detection limit
used for each compound. One cannot conclude that no PFAS of any kind were present. It is possible the
sample contained compounds not on the target list, or contained levels of the targeted compounds below
the detection limit. A total fluorine test, an organic fluorine test, or a TOP assay can be helpful in
determining whether PFAS may be present in a sample.
When conducting targeted testing, it may also be useful to consider which chemicals are most likely to be
present. For example, in some cases, some PFAS compounds may be more likely to be found in older
products, and others may be more likely to be present in newer products, unless the new product also
contains older, repurposed or recycled components.
Sometimes reports on laboratory tests may also include text about risk. Risk assessment is an approach to
estimating possible health effects of exposure to one or more toxic chemicals. It is distinct from identifying
or quantifying chemicals in products. Risk assessment relies on a variety of additional assumptions and
calculations related to exposure and other factors. Results of a risk assessment can vary widely based on
the assumptions that are used.
Table 2 briefly summarizes the approaches discussed in this document. The terminology used to describe
and categorize approaches to testing PFAS can vary among sources, and there are other ways to categorize
these types of tests. For example, some sources may categorize tests based on whether they are
quantitative or qualitative. Regardless of the terminology used, it is essential to understand the scope and
limitations of any tests that are used in decision-making.

Town of Ithaca Planning Board
215 North Tioga Street
Ithaca, NY 14850
Planning(&townithacany.gov
Re: Site Plan Approval and Special Use Permit for Cornell University Game Farm
Road Project
Dear Chairperson Cameron and Members of the Planning Board,
I am writing on behalf of Ithaca Residents Acting for the Environment
(IRAFE) regarding the Planning Board's consideration of the proposed site plan
and special use permit for Cornell University's Game Farm Road Athletic Complex
Project. IRAFE is made up of a group of residents in the Town of Ithaca who have
been concerned about the Project's potentially harmful environmental impacts.
My clients and I appreciate the Planning Board's review of Cornell's Project
to date. In part owing to the Planning Board's scrutiny of the Project, Cornell has
made certain promises and commitments to the Planning Board about the Project
that, if implemented with appropriate oversight, will further the health, safety, and
general welfare of the Town. These commitments relate to the Project's
stormwater filter, third-party PFAS testing, and end-of-life recycling. My clients
further appreciate that the Planning Board is considering a draft proposed
resolution that contains conditions that are intended to address at least some of
these commitments.
The purpose of my letter is to request that the Planning Board take
additional but necessary steps to ensure that these commitments are fulfilled by
Cornell by both strengthening the language in the proposed conditions of the draft
resolution and seeking additional information from Cornell. Otherwise, the
Planning Board and the public will have virtually no recourse if, after the approvals
are issued, these commitments are not fulfilled along the lines that they expect.
2 1 P a g e
I. The Planning Board has express and broad authority to request
relevant information from Cornell relating to health and safety as well
as impose reasonable conditions relating to the Project.
At the outset, the Planning Board has broad authority to request information
from a project applicant in furtherance of the health, safety, and general welfare of
the community as part of site plan review or special use permitting! Along similar
lines, and as reflected in the draft resolution, the Planning Board has authority to
impose reasonable conditions on site plan approvals and special use permits,
provided that the conditions are directly related to and incidental to the proposed
project and further the health, safety, and general welfare of the community.'
Courts have upheld the imposition of conditions that are reasonably designed to
mitigate specific concerns identified during the review process, such as
environmental or public health risks.'
As the Planning Board is aware, Cornell has made representations to the
Planning Board relating to the Project's proposed stormwater filter, third-party
PFAS testing, and end-of-life recycling that, if implemented effectively, will further
the health, safety, and general welfare of the public. By ensuring that Cornell
provides requisite information about these items before issuing the approvals, the
Planning Board will ensure that these commitments are fulfilled in a transparent
and open process, and in a manner accessible to the concerned members of the
public. Indeed, Cornell has already committed to each of the following items, so
requesting additional information from Cornell on these subjects should not be
objectionable or controversial.
1. The Project's Stormwater Filter must be incorporated into Cornell's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Cornell has represented to the Planning Board that water falling onto the
artificial turf field will be conveyed to a proprietary filter practice that uses
membrane filter cartridges to capture microplastic particles down to 0.025
'Town Code § 270-186 (site plan review may include "such additional items as may be
reasonably requested by the Planning Board"); § 270-198(B)(1)(e) (Board may consider
"[s]uch other information or documentation as maybe deemed reasonably necessary or
appropriate").
' See N.Y. Town Law§ 274-a(4) (site plan approval) and § 274-b (special use permits).
3 Twin Town Little League, Inc. v. Town ofPoestenkill, 249 A.D.2d 811, 813 (3d Dept. 1998)
("There is no question that the Board had the authority to attach conditions to its approval
of petitioner's site plan provided they were reasonable, directly related to and incidental to
the proposed use of the property and were aimed at minimizing the adverse impact"that
would result from such approval); St. Onge v. Donovan, 71 N.Y.2d 507, 516 (1988) (conditions
can readily relate to emissions of pollutants that are "incidental to comfort, peace,
enjoyment, health or safety of the surrounding area.")

millimeters (the Stormwater Filter), thereby reducing the particles that may
otherwise be discharged to ground or surface waters in stormwater runoff. Cornell
Site Plan Review Application Report at 15. The Stormwater Filter is a proposed
postconstruction stormwater management practice that is intended to protect
water quality.
The Town Code requires Cornell to submit a full SWPPP for this Project.' A
full SWPPP is intended to address both erosion and sediment control during
construction and postconstruction stormwater management measures.' Under the
Town Code, a full SWPPP must include the following information regarding each
identified postconstruction stormwater management practice:
• A description of each permanent postconstruction stormwater management
practice;
• Site map/construction drawing(s) showing the specific location(s) and size(s)
of each permanent postconstruction stormwater management practice;
• Dimensions, material specifications and installation details for each
permanent postconstruction stormwater management practice, including
site/construction drawing(s) specifying the location(s), size(s), and length(s)
of each stormwater management practice; and
• Maintenance and operating procedures and schedules to ensure continuous
and effective operation of each permanent postconstruction stormwater
management practice.'
Cornell's proposed SWPPP dated April 16, 2025 (T.G. Miller, P.C.) fails to
include this requisite information regarding the proposed Stormwater Filter. The
SWPPP does not include a description of the Stormwater Filter, nor does it include
any of the requisite drawings, material specifications, and installation details for the
Stormwater Filter. Instead, in comparison to the detailed information about other
post-construction stormwater controls, the Narrative of the SWPPP states only as
follows about the Stormwater Filter: "Although not required for the project to
receive SPDES permit coverage, a proprietary stormwater filter practice will be
installed downstream of the field hockey field." SWPPP pg. 16. Further, although
certain excerpted manufacturer information has been provided in Volume II of the
SWPPP regarding recommended inspection and maintenance guidelines for the
Stormwater Filter, nothing in the SWPPP purports to require that Cornell adhere
to any of these recommendations "to ensure continuous and effective operation" of
'Town Code § 228-6(D).

'Town Code § 228-10(D)(7)-(13).

the Filter. Yet for every other stormwater management practice at the site, the
SWPPP includes a detailed maintenance schedule.
The Stormwater Filter must therefore be fully incorporated into the SWPPP
the same as any other identified postconstruction stormwater management
practice as required by the Town Code. The Planning Board cannot consider
issuing any site plan approval or special use permit for the Project until the
Stormwater Filter is incorporated as required into the SWPPP.'
2. Cornell's commitment to having the artificial turf product tested by a
third party for the presence of PFAS must be fulfilled according to
industry-standard protocols for detecting PFAS in synthetic turf
materials.
Cornell has chosen to use for its artificial turf field the "Greenfields TX Pro
Plus" product manufactured by TenCate. Cornell has represented that this product
was selected in order to reduce the Project's environmental impacts. Specifically,
Cornell understands from the manufacturer that the product is "PFAS-free" and
will comply with the New York State Carpet Collection Program Law. Cornell
states further that it is "committed to having the product 3rd party tested prior to
leaving the manufacturer(pre-shipment)" to ensure the product remains PFAS-
free. Cornell Supplemental Materials Submission at 10 (Jan. 31, 2025) ("Supp.
Submission").
The Planning Board has included the following proposed condition in its
draft resolution for the Project:
Submission to the Planning Department of testing results from an independent
laboratory (not affiliated with Cornell or the manufacturer) that conducts
third party testing of the artificial turf materials for the presence of any
perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) before the artificial turf
materials leave the manufacturer. The artificial turf materials must comply
with NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laws and regulations, including the
requirements of the NYS Carpet Collection Program Law...which states that
"no carpet sold or offered for sale in the state shall contain or be treated with
PFAS substances for any purpose,"even though that requirement is not effective
until the end of 2026....
The Planning Board's proposed inclusion of this condition is commendable. Yet
without specific requirements and safeguards regarding testing and reporting
protocols, the results of any testing for the presence of PFAS are very likely to be
either incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading.
'Town Code § 228-10(D)(13).
'See Town Code § 228-10(A).
5 1 P a g e
The University of Massachusetts Lowell Center for Sustainable Production
states that "PFAS testing includes a variety of methods and approaches," and that "it
is essential to understand the scope and limitations of any tests that are used in
decision-making."' As described below, the Planning Board should ensure that
both Targeted and Non-Targeted PFAS analyses are performed as part of any
testing.
"Targeted PFAS analysis"includes methods used to gather information
about a specific, targeted list of PFAS chemicals, often by measuring their quantity.
EPA's Method 1633 (published 2024) is one of the leading methodologies for
targeted PFAS analysis in solid materials. However, "targeted testing of individual
PFAS compounds" may"only provide information on a limited number of
compounds and for specific sample types."" "Existing targeted analyses for PFAS
only measure a small number of the nearly 15,000 PFAS that exist."" Thus, "[flack
of detection of these individual chemicals [in a targeted analysis] does not indicate
that all PFAS are absent.""
"Non-Targeted PFAS Analysis," on the other hand, includes methods that
"have been developed to understand the presence or concentrations of all PFAS in
a sample."13 Examples include Total Fluorine Analysis,which does not measure or
identify individual PFAS compounds, but is a"useful first step to determining the
likelihood of the presence of PFAS in a sample." And Total Oxidizable Precursor
Assay,which allows "researchers to indirectly assess the presence of a wide range of
PFAS, many of which are missed by targeted methods."
While DEC will likely eventually develop preferred testing and reporting
protocols for complying with the NYS Carpet Collection Program Law, DEC is only
"in the preliminary stage of developing new...regulations to support
implementation" of the Law14 and therefore such guidance will not be available
before the testing for the Project is completed. It is therefore incumbent upon the
Planning Board and the Planning Department to specify industry-standard testing
and reporting guidelines for the Project in the approvals.

Accordingly,we have provided in red additional language to the draft PFAS
testing condition, adding industry-standard specifications and protocols as
recommended by the Lowell Center and other leading authorities:
Submission to the Planning Department of unredacted testing results from an
independent laboratory (not affiliated with Cornell or the manufacturer) that
conducts third party testing of the artificial turf materials for the presence of
any perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PEAS) before the artificial
turf materials leave the manufacturer. The independent laboratory shall have
experience analyzing PFAS in plastic materials. The testing results that are
provided to the Planning Department shall include the results of each of the
following analyses for the purposes of identifying the presence of PFAS in the
artificial turf materials:
1. Targeted PFASAnalysis using EPA Method 1633;
2. Total and SPLP PFAS Analysis, using the isotope dilution
method. Prior to analysis, the SPLP PFAS samples should be
processed per EPA Method 1312;
3. Total Oxidizable Precursor(TOP)Assay of PFAS;
4. Total Organic Fluorine Analysis, analyzing for total fluorine.
All reporting and detection limits shall be measured in parts per trillion(ppt).
The testing results shall identify the laboratory's choice of extraction solvent.
Upon receipt by the Planning Department, the testing results shall be available
to the public to the extent provided under the Freedom of Information Law
(FOIL).
The artificial turf materials must comply with NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) and US Environmental protection
Agency (EPA) laws and regulations, including the requirements of the NYS
Carpet Collection Program Law...which states that `no carpet sold or offered
for sale in the state shall contain or be treated with PFAS substances for any
purpose,"even though that requirement is not effective until the end of 2026....
We urge the Planning Board to include this additional proposed
language as part of any final approvals for the Project.
3. Cornell's commitment to having the turf product recycled at the end of
its useful life must be detailed in an end-of-life management plan as a
condition of the issuance of site plan approval or a special use permit.
The artificial turf field has a useful life of approximately 10-12 years, and
numerous concerns have been raised by concerned members of the public about
the methods that will be used to dispose of the product at that time, including from
the Town's Conservation Board. Cornell has therefore represented that it is "fully
committed to recycling the turf at the end of its useful life," and that it will
7 1 P a g e
"investigate and select the most environmentally responsible option [for disposal]
available [at the time of disposal]." Supp. Submission at 12.
Currently, however, the options for recycling such materials are either non-
existent or extremely limited, depending on the specific product used and its
manufacturer. Indeed, the Planning Board has acknowledged that the recycling
options for this type of turf field are limited currently. If recycling options are not
developed over time as hoped, or if the ownership of the field were to change
hands in the future, the turf field may not be recycled as planned or it may be left
in place well after the end of its useful life, posing a long-term risk to the
surrounding area and environment.
The draft resolution includes the following condition regarding this topic:
"Per Cornell's commitment to recycle 100% of the artificial turf materials in the
project, once said materials are at the end of their life, submission to the Planning
Department of a detailed recycling plan, including the facility that is chosen to
receive said materials, and submission of proof from the facility that it accepted
and recycled said materials."
While the draft condition is a step in the right direction, it imposes a vague
obligation on Cornell roughly a decade into the future that may be lost or
forgotten during the intervening years, either because personnel changes at the
Town or Cornell over time, the site is later transferred to a third party, or some
other unforeseen circumstance.
The Planning Board must therefore obtain additional information from
Cornell regarding its disposal plan before either site plan approval or a special use
permit is issued for the Project in the form of an end-of-life management plan.
Such end-of-life planning during site plan review is common for other types of
projects in the Town such as solar projects (Town Code § 270-219.1(G)(2)(c)(4)(i)) or
cell phone towers (§ 270-219(P)). The end-of-life management plan for this Project
should include at least the following elements:
• A description of the anticipated useful life of the artificial turf field,
including a description of the criteria that will be used to determine when
the field has reached the end of its useful life;
• A description of the anticipated means and methods for uninstalling and
removing the artificial turf field and its component parts, along with a
timeline for doing so;
• A commitment to recycle the artificial turf field materials to the fullest
extent possible at the end of the field's useful life, including a description of
the means and methods to be used to recycle the artificial turf field
materials including any mitigation plan for treating and handling toxic
byproducts of plastics recycling;
8 1 P a g e
• An identification of the recycling facility that will be used, along with a
letter of commitment from the recycling facility in question;
• A description of the means and methods to be employed to dispose of the
artificial turf materials if recycling is later determined to be infeasible or
unavailable at the time of disposal, including an identification of the most
environmentally friendly alternative; and
• A requirement to supply an updated end-of-life management plan to the
Planning Board at least every four years and no less than six months before
the anticipated end-of-life of the artificial turf field materials.
While the components of any end-of-life management plan should be
considered by the Planning Board before any approvals are issued, at a minimum,
the development and timely submission of the foregoing plan should be
incorporated as a condition of approval.
I am available to answer any questions about the foregoing requests and
proposed conditions at the convenience of the Planning Board. Please incorporate
this correspondence into any administrative record for the Project. Thank you for
your time and consideration.

Good morning,

also attached a PDF to retain the formatting in case it is altered in the email. Thank you and have a great

To the Town of Ithaca Planning Board,
The FOILed document revealing DEC's concerns about stormwater impacts underscores the urgency of addressing the
serious environmental risks posed by synthetic turf—especially the potential for PFAS and microplastic contamination.
These substances are persistent,bioaccumulative, and harmful to ecological and human health,which is precisely why
they are known as"forever chemicals."
If the Planning Board is considering any approval of the site plan for this project,it must, at minimum,require Cornell
University to commit to publicly transparent,independently verified testing on representative samples of the proposed
synthetic turf system. This testing must go beyond manufacturer claims and include:
•Total Fluorine Testing (TF):to detect the presence of fluorine, a key indicator of PFAS;
•EPA Method 1633,performed on cryo-milled samples,to detect extractable PFAS embedded in the plastic;
•Additional cryo-milling tests to identify polymeric PFAS not covered by EPA Method 1633,including PTFE
(Teflon)and PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride),both of which are commonly used in synthetic turf systems and
are not detectable through conventional PFAS testing methods.
This broader scope of testing is critical,especially given the well-documented microplastic pollution associated with
synthetic turf. These concerns are supported not only by peer-reviewed scientific studies but also by videos previously
submitted to this Board as public comment. These videos were taken by grassroots volunteers around the country and
offer direct visual documentation of turf fields shedding plastic fragments and filling waterways and soil with synthetic
debris.
Detection of PFAS in any of these scientifically valid tests would indicate noncompliance with New York State's Carpet
Collection Program Law(Article 27,Title 33 of the Environmental Conservation Law),which prohibits carpet-like
products with intentionally added PFAS. Synthetic turf clearly qualifies as a plastic-backed,carpet-like flooring product.
1
The law defines PFAS broadly as"a class of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon
atom,"consistent with the international standard adopted by the OECD.Any detection of PFAS—by any of the
scientifically valid methods listed above—would show that Cornell's proposed turf violates this state law and that its
public representations about product safety are misleading.
Last week,Zero Waste Ithaca obtained a sample of GreenFields TX Pro—the infill-free, so-called"PFAS-free"turf
Cornell selected for the Game Farm Road field hockey field. This sample is being prepared to be sent to three independent
laboratories,with a clear chain-of-custody record.
It is unacceptable that the burden of conducting and funding this level of testing has been placed on an all-volunteer
organization like ours.Meanwhile,the Planning Board has continued to accept Cornell's misleading claim that
"independent,third-party"testing conducted"prior to leaving the manufacturer(pre-shipment)"(January 31,2025,
Supplemental Materials Submission,p. 10)constitutes credible oversight. This is not credible, not transparent, and not
compliant. It does not meet the standards required under SEQRA,which obligates the Town to independently verify
environmental claims—not to delegate oversight to the applicant.
We expect results in the coming weeks and will share them publicly. If PFAS is detected, it will confirm that Cornell's
proposed turf is illegal under New York law and that the public has been misled.
To date,Cornell has only offered testing that is conducted by or under the control of its turf manufacturer. The limited
scope of EPA Method 1633—which does not detect polymeric PFAS—along with the absence of chain-of-custody
documentation and a lack of public oversight, fails to satisfy these obligations. We have raised this concern repeatedly
throughout the SEQR process for both the Game Farm Road and Meinig Fieldhouse projects.Nonetheless,our concerns
have been dismissed by City and Town Planning Board members who voted for negative declarations for both projects.
The public deserves better. To protect the health of our soil,water, and communities,truly independent and publicly
accountable testing must be required before any further action is taken.
Sincerely,
Carver Hauptman

Subject: Public Oversight and Independent PFAS Testing Needed Before Approving Cornell Turf
Dear Town of Ithaca Planning Board members,
The FOILed document revealing DEC's concerns about stormwater impacts underscores the urgency of

Synthetic Turf Project

Synthetic Turf Project
Re: SEQR Failures and Inadequate PFAS Oversight in Cornell's Synthetic Turf Project
To: Town of Ithaca Planning Board Members
Cc: NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Region 7
Dear Town of Ithaca Planning Board Members,
We are writing to formally request that the Town of Ithaca rescind the March 18 Negative Declaration issued
for Cornell's synthetic turf project at Game Farm Road and initiate a Generic Environmental Impact Statement
(GEIS)to evaluate its broader environmental impacts.
1. SEQR Violations: Flawed Stormwater Review
A Freedom of Information Law (FOIL)request revealed that both the NYS DEC and the Town's engineer
raised unresolved concerns about the project's stormwater modeling, including:
• Reliance on outdated 2003 models that misclassify turf fields with underdrains as "pervious"
(contradicting current DEC guidance);
• Retroactive "Satisfied" notations added to the Town Engineer's memo after the March 18 Negative
Declaration (NEDEC)was issued—with no supporting documentation and no public disclosure.
These actions fail to meet SEQR's "hard look" requirement (6 NYCRR § 617.7(b)) and warrant rescission
of the NegDec under § 617.7(f)because:
• New information (the post-hoc "satisfied" markings)proves the review was incomplete;
• Material omissions hid DEC's concerns during the SEQR process;
• DEC's objections about improper modeling remain unaddressed.
The April 26 scratched-out engineering memo was not part of the record at the time the NegDec was issued.
Nor was DEC's concern about outdated runoff assumptions ever resolved. If DEC has reviewed and approved
the revised modeling, no documentation of that approval appears in the public record. This warrants a formal
rescission of the NegDec and further environmental review.

2. PFAS Testing Failures and Legal Noncompliance
The Town's approval ignores Cornell's failure to conduct independent,verifiable PFAS testing, as required to
comply with:
• NY's Carpet Collection Program Law (ECL § 27-3313), which bans PFAS defined as "a class of
fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom" in carpet-like
products (including synthetic turf);
• The Planning Board's duty under SEQR to base its determination on credible,publicly available
information.
We urge the Town to require testing that meets the following standards:
1. Total Fluorine testing to detect the presence of PFAS;
2. EPA Method 1633, with cryo-milling, to identify extractable PFAS;
3. Additional screening for polymeric PFAS (e.g., PTFE, PVDF)not detected by standard methods.
Cornell's current plan—relying on testing "prior to leaving the manufacturer (pre-shipment)" (January 31,
2025, Supplemental Materials Submission, p. 10) is not independent nor transparent.
Zero Waste Ithaca has secured a sample of Greenfields TX Pro and is funding independent third-party testing.
Results are expected in the coming weeks.
3. Legal and Legislative Context
• The Article 78 case is still active. Our standing was upheld in court, and an appeal is being prepared.
Cornell's strategy to challenge our right to sue failed. The merits of the case—including deficiencies in
the SEQR process—are still under legal review.
• Legislative momentum is growing:
• NYS S6868IA4021 would ban synthetic turf in schools and municipal parks statewide.
• NYC Bill Int. 0983-2023 now has over 10 co-sponsors, reflecting rising concern at the city level.
We respectfully request that the Planning Board:
• Rescind the March 18 Negative Declaration under 6 NYCRR § 617.7(f);
• Do not approve the site plan;
• Initiate a Generic Environmental Impact Statement(GEIS) to assess the full scope of Cornell's
synthetic turf expansion, including cumulative impacts across multiple projects;
• Suspend further consideration of this project until:
o Stormwater modeling is corrected to reflect DEC standards;
o Independent PFAS testing results—currently underway—are made public and reviewed by the
Town.
The record as it stands is incomplete and cannot support responsible or lawful project approval.

Hi Justin,
I reviewed a design manual from Aug. 2003 and I didn't find the requirement to model ag land as meadow cover type
back then, so I don't want to hold them to that design standard from the design they developed in 2002/3.They can
design the stormwater practices based on the current site as existing conditions and design the stormwater practices
accordingly to the new development. If your team has documentation showing they were required to meet "Meadow
cover" during the 2003 design, then we can look at holding them to that design standard.
Thanks,

Good Morning Deb and Brian,
We would like some clarification regarding a proposed project in the Town of Ithaca.The project is proposing to
convert an existing natural turf grass field with underdrains into a synthetic turf field along with a few small
buildings,spectator facilities,and increasing the parking area at an existing sports complex.The existing site has a
total of 4 natural turf grass fields with underdrains, a gravel parking lot and driveway, and a metal building with
locker rooms and bathrooms.As part of the original project in 2003,2 stormwater ponds were installed for both
water quality treatment and quantity attenuation.
The proposed project will be removing the 2 existing ponds and replacing them with an extended detention shallow
wetland practice.At the time the SWPPP was approved in 2003,the applicant modeled the precondition as row
crop. Only one of the natural grass turf fields will be disturbed during this project, the remaining 3 with remain
undisturbed. Now that they are proposing to remove the 2 stormwater ponds with this project and install a new
practice for attenuation,we are thinking the applicant should model the pre-condition as meadow prior to the
2003 project not the current pond outflows (which are based on the natural turf fields with under drains being
considered a pervious surface). Our rational is based on recent guidance received from DEC pertaining to natural
turf fields with underdrains being considered an impervious surface.
How should this be handled?Should the applicant be required to re-evaluate the quantity attenuation for the
entire site with the pre-construction condition being the condition prior to the 2003 project or can they use the pre-
condition as the pond discharge rates which were developed based on the fields being considered as
pervious? The question is ultimately being posed because a new attenuation practice is being installed to replace
the ponds.
Sincerely,
Civil Engineer

Hello Chris,
Yep,we would like to send them out to the applicant team so they can get a jump on the comments.We have had
a couple of quick conversations with the Engineer,they have asked if we had reviewed the materials submitted
and if we have any comments.We understand that they may need to change things as the Planning Board reviews
materials, but we are also trying to coordinate reviews between the multiple Dev Rev projects.We would like to
have this comment letter out to them before they send in the next set of revisions to limit the number of times we
are reviewing the materials.
Thank You,

Thanks Justin.
This information is fantastic, but extremely premature.
The PB hasn't even decided to be the lead agency in the environmental review. And there's a good chance that
plans (and SWPPP)will need modification, as the project does go through the environmental review.We are about
two steps away from that now.
Are you sure you don't want to hang onto these comments until a later phase of review(e.g., SEQR determination,
or preliminary site plan review)?

Re: Cornell University Game Farm Road Field Hockey Field
Town of Ithaca SWPPP Review Comments
Dear Ms. Van Leeuwen:
Below please find our responses to review comments dated December 6, 2024 and prepared by
David O'Shea, P.E. for the above referenced project. For ease of review, original review
comments are re-stated and our responses are included in bold type.
Sewer:
1. Prior to Final Site Plan Approval Submission, A Sewer Exemption Request must be
submitted to the Town of Ithaca Engineering Department regarding the proposed
septic system. The request will go before the Public Works Committee and the Town
Board for review and approval.
TGM Response: Acknowledged, a sewer exemption request was submitted to
the Town by Cornell University on March 7, 2025.
2. All plan sheets should be updated to show the existing septic system filter area and
proposed filter area. These areas should be delineated to be protected during
construction.
TGM Response: The existing septic system is noted on all project drawings and
notes are added to protect these areas.
Stormwater:
1. The complete SWPPP and associated documents will need to be uploaded to
OpenGov under a SWPPP application and fee paid once they have been approved.
TGM Response: The SWPPP will be uploaded to OpenGov and the application
fee will be paid.
2. Revise the table of contents to correct page numbers and remove unused chapters.
TGM Response: The table of contents has been revised accordingly.
3. Please update the SWPPP to include information and associated requirements for
seeking a 5-ac waiver for disturbance.
TGM Response: Page 1 of the SWPPP includes language regarding the need for
written authorization prior to disturbing 5 acres.
David A.Herrick,P.E. Donald M.Harner,P.E. Lee Dresser,L.S.
Frank L Santelli,P.E. LEED A.P.,C.P.E.S.C. Jacqueline L.Dresser,L.S.
Owen B.Barden,P.E.
4. Please indicate which version of the New York State Stormwater Management
Design Manual was used for this project.
TGM Response: The 2015 New York State Stormwater Management Desing
Manual was used for the project.
5. Please update the Vol. I narrative regarding fill sites. If the fill site is within an MS4,
the MS4 must approve the site and sign onto the SWPPP.
TGM Response: Based on recent communications with NYSDEC Region 7
Staff, we have learned that remote fill sites (i.e. greater than '/4-mile from the
project) do not need to sign onto the project SWPPP. It is still the responsibility
of any fill site owner to comply with local and NYSDEC regulations pertaining
to soil disturbance activities on the land of those fill sites. The written
communications between TGM and NYSDEC will be shared with the Town
Engineer. The SWPPP has been revised to reflect this.
6. Please update the SWPPP narrative to correctly and consistently identify the onsite
soil groups. Dual soil groups are identified in the mapping. Please elaborate on
what value you are using and why.
TGM Response: The dual soil groups identified in the USDA soil survey have
been added to on-site soil section of the SWPPP narrative. For areas where
dual soil groups have been identified, they are assumed to have a HSG rating
of "D". This assumption is based on the onsite infiltration and percolation
testing conducted (Please see response to comment #14 for additional
information). Additionally, the previously approved 2003 SWPPP utilized a
HSG rating of "D" for all dual soil group areas.
7. Please update existing tables or provide additional tables identifying the amount of
new impervious per watershed. The map provided does not provide this information
as you are modifying drainage boundaries.
TGM Response: After further conversation with the Town Engineering staff
this comment is no longer applicable.
8. Update the narrative to provide information on how the turf field will drain and get
into the drainage system.
TGM Response: The SWPPP narrative has been updated accordingly.
9. There are discrepancies between the SWPPP narrative and the site map
regarding impervious and pervious acreage. Please provide clarification. If the
main outer watershed boundary is not changing, Table 1 and Table 2 area
summations should be equal.
TGM Response: The SWPPP has been revised to address these
discrepancies.
10. In Watershed 4, the narrative states the area is 11.73 acres of impervious surface,
most of the area is pervious lawn. Please clarify this discrepancy.
TGM Response: Existing watershed #4 has 0.86 acres of impervious cover, not
11.73. This has been revised in both the SWPPP narrative and on the existing
watershed map.
11. The narrative references a Min Rv number of 0.2, but this value is not used in the
water quality volume or runoff reduction calculations. Please revise the calculations
accordingly.
TGM Response: Calculations have been revised accordingly.
T.G. Miller,P.C. 2
12. Please clarify why RRv is not being provided for impervious areas that are
being disturbed.
TGM Response: All existing impervious areas that will be disturbed are in
Watersheds #4A and #5. The required RRv for each is 1,210 CF and 2,510 CF,
respectively. Bioretention filter#1, located within watershed #4A, provides
1,716 CF of RRv while bioretention filter#2, located within watershed #5,
provides 3,098 CF. It should be noted, there are sections of existing
impervious area, a large portion of the gravel driveway, that is being restored
to pervious lawn.
13. Please provide the borings logs as indicated in the SWPPP. They are not included.
TGM Response: Boring logs have been attached to the SWPPP.
14. Please be more specific on why site limitations exist. Please include the definition
and which criteria allows them to be utilized.
TGM Response: Percolation testing was conducted at different locations
throughout the site as part of the 2003 McGovern soccer field project
geotechnical explorations. The results of these tests indicated infiltration rates
of less than 0.5 in/hr. Additionally, the boring logs indicate a high prevalence
of clay soils throughout the site. In support of the current project's septic
system design, T.G. Miller, P.C. conducted percolation testing. The results also
indicated infiltration rates of less than 0.5 in/hr. Furthermore, the USDA soil
survey report for the project indicates that the underlying soil for a large
percentage of the project has hydrologic soils group rating of "D" or "C/D".
The geotechnical report has been attached to the SWPPP.
15. Sediment Traps and Sediment Basins are both called out in the narrative and plan
set. Please verify which is being proposed. Please provide associated calculations
and details as required by the New York State Standards and Specifications for
Erosion and Sediment Control (Blue Book).
TGM Response: All references to sediment traps have been removed. Sediment
basin calculations and topography have been added to drawing C102.
16. Update the plan set to include a Concrete Washout Area and its associated
construction detail.
TGM Response: A concrete washout detail has been added to the drawings.
17. Please revise the plan set to include the following details:
• Sediment Trap or Sediment Basin
TGM Response: See response to comment #15.
• Rock Check Dam
TGM Response: A Rock Check Dam detail has been added.
• Bioretention Filter Forebay and Weir. Please review this with the landscape
plan relative to soils and vegetation requirements that differ between the
forebay and the filter area.
TGM Response: Bioretention filter and forebay plantings have been
coordinated with landscape plans.
• Extended Detention Short Wetland
TGM Response: An enlarged plan of the extended detention `shallow'
T.G. Miller,P.C. 3
wetland has been added to the drawings.
18. Please add the following items to the plan set.
• Include mound septic system on proposed drainage plan C105.
TGM Response: The mound septic system has been added to C105.
• Silt sock detail on Sheet C102 needs to be revised to match the Blue Book.
TGM Response: The silt log detail on C102-3 has been revised.
• Indicate material staging area on plan. Please note this area must be
on a stabilized surface.
TGM Response: The contractor material staging area has been
added to all ESC plans.
• Add winter stabilization procedures to the plan set.
TGM Response: Winter stabilization notes have been to the ESC plans.
• Indicate stream setbacks on all plan sheets. Please verify this setback was
determined in accordance with the Code of the Town of Ithaca and accounts
for any steep slopes that may be present.
TGM Response: The stream setback has been added to all applicable
plans where the viewport and scale allows. The stream setback shown
was calculated in accordance with Town of Ithaca Code, inclusive of
adjacent steep slopes.
19. Identify the length of the tracking pads.
TGM Response: The length of the tracking pads has been added to the ESC
plans.
20. Provide erosion and sediment control plan for phasing.
TGM Response: Three erosion and sediment control plans have been prepared to
reflect phasing.
21. Contour labels need to be added to the drainage plan in the stormwater practices
where they are not provided on the grading plan. It would be beneficial for the
contours in their entirety to be labeled on the drainage plan.
TGM Response: Contour labels have been added within the extended detention
shallow wetland.
22. There appears to be a difference between the drainage plan and grading plan.
Please review and update accordingly.
TGM Response: Drainage plan and grading plan have been coordinated.
23. The demo plan incorrectly identifies which pipe is being removed at the western pond.
TGM Response: The demo plan has been revised accordingly.
24. Please review the existing catch basins and proposed grading plan. There are
numerous basins around the proposed field that will need adjustments. Please review
these basins and with other site improvements. There appears to be conflicts depicted
in the plan set.
TGM Response: Notes have been added to the drainage plan indicating rim
elevation adjustments to all existing catch basins. All conflicts with site
improvements have been resolved.
25. Please identify how the existing field drains (labeled tile outlet) will be handled.
T.G. Miller,P.C. 4
TGM Response: Existing field drains will be daylighted into the proposed swale.
A note has been added to drawing C105.
26. Update landscaping plans to identify native planting are required as mentioned in
the SWPPP narrative.
TGM Response: The landscaping plans have been revised accordingly.
27. The modeling of existing conditions must align with the post-conditions outlined in
the 2003 SWPPP. This includes accurately representing the field conditions as
pervious in the pre-condition per the 2003 SWPPP and now impervious for the post
condition based on DEC's current guidance. The ponds shall be modeled according
to their post conditions in 2003 and incorporating any missing stormwater structures
into the model.
TGM Response: Below is a table summarizing the post-development peak
discharge rates for both the 2003 McGovern SWPPP and the current CU GFR
SWPPP. For the purposes of a pre- versus post-development comparison, the
rates from 2003 SWPPP shall be considered as the pre-developed condition
per the above Town review comment. As can be seen, the post-development
peak discharge is attenuated for the 1, 10, and 100-yr storm events by the
proposed stormwater management approach. The SWPPP narrative will be
revised to consider the 2003 SWPPP post development runoff rates as the pre-
development rates for the current project.
Storm 2003 SWPPP (cfs) CU GFR SWPPP (cfs)
Event
1-yr 12.43+21.82+7.54+7.56 = 49.35 0.67
10- r 31.16+38.32+20+11.85 = 101.33 24.44
1 00- r 33.9+41.9+24.51+11.26 = 111.57 75.79
28. Please provide additional information supporting your design that water will be
conveyed to the attenuation device. Current modeling indicates that the structures are
overtopping.
TGM Response: Regarding diversion structure #1, runoff that may surcharge
out of the structure will be captured by downstream drainage structures. If for
any reason those structures become plugged and are not able to function,
then all runoff will be conveyed to the attenuation device via the overland flow
path between fields 3 & 4. Regarding diversion structure#2, the HydroCAD
model has been revised so that runoff is no longer surcharging.
29. There are numerous discrepancies between the plan set and the HydroCad
calculations. Please revise the materials accordingly. The calculations were not
reviewed in detail due to the discrepancies.
TGM Response: The HydroCAD calculations have been revised to be
consistent with applicable device rims, inverts, and typical details..
30. Please add the filters to the hydraulic modeling to verify how these systems are acting
during the larger storm events (are they overtopping, do the overflow catch basins
handle everything, etc.).
TGM Response: Both bioretention filters have been added to the HydroCAD
model.
31. Diversion Structure 2 appears to be overtopping into the bioretention filter. Provide
T.G. Miller,P.C. 5
calculations for the wetland as described in Chapter 6 section 1 and 2 of the
Stormwater Management Design Manual. Note stormwater wetlands must also meet
the requirements of Stormwater Ponds.
TGM Response: The HydroCAD calculations have been revised and diversion
structure#2 no longer surcharges. Calculations have been added to Volume 1
of the SWPPP.
Respectfully,
David A. Herrick, P.E.

6. Please update the SWPPP narrative to correctly and consistently identify the onsite
soil groups. Dual soil groups are identified in the mapping. Please elaborate on what
value you are using and why.
lulTrIvelpVTOW The dual soil groups identified in the USDA soil survey have been added
to on-site soil section of the SWPPP narrative. For areas where dual soil groups have
been identified,they are assumed to have a HSG rating of"D".This assumption is based
on the onsite infiltration and percolation testing conducted(Please see response to
comment#14 for additional information).Additionally, the previously approved 2003
SWPPP utilized a HSG rating of"D"for all dual soil group areas.
7. Please update existing tables or provide additional tables identifying the amount of

watershed boundary is not changing, Table 1 and Table 2 area summations should
be e ual.
The SWPPP has been revised to address these discrepancies.
10. In Watershed 4, the narrative states the area is 11.73 acres of impervious surface, most
of the area is pervious lawn. Please clarify this discrepancy.
M Response: Existing watershed#4 has 0.86 acres of impervious cover, not 11.73.This
has been revised in both the SWPPP narrative and on the existing watershed map.
11. The narrative references a Min Rv number of 0.2, but this value is not used in the
water quality volume or runoff reduction calculations. Please revise the calculations
accordin 1 .
For watershed#4A,a Min. RRv HSG reduction factor of 0.2 was used.This
value is represented on the Water Quality Volume calculation sheet included in volume II.
Please note, a value of 0.3 was used for watershed#5.
12. Please clarify why RRv is not being provided for impervious areas that are
being disturbed.
TGM Response:All existing impervious areas that will be disturbed are in Watersheds#4A

Re: SEQR Failures and Inadequate PFAS Oversight in Cornell's Synthetic Turf Project
To: Town of Ithaca Planning Board Members
Cc: NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Region 7
Dear Town of Ithaca Planning Board Members,
We are writing to formally request that the Town of Ithaca rescind the March 18 Negative
Declaration issued for Cornell's synthetic turf project at Game Farm Road and initiate a Generic
Environmental Impact Statement(GEIS) to evaluate its broader environmental impacts.
1. SEQR Violations: Flawed Stormwater Review
A Freedom of Information Law (FOIL)request revealed that both the NYS DEC and the Town's
engineer raised unresolved concerns about the project's stormwater modeling, including:
• Reliance on outdated 2003 models that misclassify turf fields with underdrains as
"pervious" (contradicting current DEC guidance);
• Retroactive "Satisfied" notations added to the Town Engineer's memo after the March
18 Negative Declaration (NEDEC)was issued—with no supporting documentation and
no public disclosure.
These actions fail to meet SEQR's "hard look" requirement (6 NYCRR§ 617.7(b)) and
warrant rescission of the NegDec under § 617.7(f) because:
• New information (the post-hoc "satisfied" markings)proves the review was incomplete;
• Material omissions hid DEC's concerns during the SEQR process;
• DEC's objections about improper modeling remain unaddressed.
The April 26 scratched-out engineering memo was not part of the record at the time the NegDec
was issued. Nor was DEC's concern about outdated runoff assumptions ever resolved. If DEC
has reviewed and approved the revised modeling,no documentation of that approval appears in
the public record. This warrants a formal rescission of the NegDec and further environmental
review.

2. PFAS Testing Failures and Legal Noncompliance
The Town's approval ignores Cornell's failure to conduct independent,verifiable PFAS testing,
as required to comply with:
• NY's Carpet Collection Program Law (ECL § 27-3313), which bans PFAS defined as
"a class of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon
atom" in carpet-like products (including synthetic turf);
• The Planning Board's duty under SEQR to base its determination on credible,
publicly available information.
We urge the Town to require testing that meets the following standards:
1. Total Fluorine testing to detect the presence of PFAS;
2. EPA Method 1633, with cryo-milling, to identify extractable PFAS;
3. Additional screening for polymeric PFAS (e.g., PTFE, PVDF)not detected by standard
methods.
Comell's current plan—relying on testing"prior to leaving the manufacturer (pre-shipment)"
(January 31, 2025, Supplemental Materials Submission, p. 10) is not independent nor
transparent.
Zero Waste Ithaca has secured a sample of Greenfields TX Pro and is funding independent
third-party testing. Results are expected in the coming weeks.
3. Legal and Legislative Context
• The Article 78 case is still active. Our standing was upheld in court, and an appeal is
being prepared.. Comell's strategy to challenge our right to sue failed. The merits of the
case—including deficiencies in the SEQR process—are still under legal review.
• Legislative momentum is growing:
• NYS S6868 I A4021 would ban synthetic turf in schools and municipal parks
statewide.
• NYC Bill Int. 0983-2023 now has over 10 co-sponsors, reflecting rising concern at
the city level.
We respectfully request that the Planning Board:
• Rescind the March 18 Negative Declaration under 6 NYCRR § 617.7(f);
• Do not approve the site plan;
• Initiate a Generic Environmental Impact Statement(GEIS)to assess the full scope of
Cornell's synthetic turf expansion, including cumulative impacts across multiple projects;
• Suspend further consideration of this project until:
o Stormwater modeling is corrected to reflect DEC standards;
o Independent PFAS testing resultscurrently underway—are made public and
reviewed by the Town.
The record as it stands is incomplete and cannot support responsible or lawful project approval.
Respectfully submitted,
Zero Waste Ithaca

RE: Game Farm Road Project
Public comment(to be included in the public record)
May 6, 2025
Dear Town Planning Board Members and Staff:
On March 17, 2025, I presented evidence from the scientific literature and the applicant's own
materials that requires a positive declaration of environmental significance for the Game Farm
Road Project.'Many of those points are now underscored in a legal memo by Stephen Daly of
Citizen Environmental Law PLLC on behalf of Ithaca Residents Acting for the Environment.
Please attend closely to the recommendations outlined in that legal memo to ensure that the
applicant's representations about HAS testing, stormwater filtration,and end-of-life recycling are
executed in a binding fashion that ensures credibility, transparency,and mitigation of some harms
from this petrochemical plastic installation.These must be preconditions for site plan approval.
Lest you seek to dismiss concerns about HAS testing once again, I have explained why it is
necessary below(see Section A). In brief,there is a history of failed promises, faulty testing, and
misleading definitions of"PFAS-free"products.You saw this firsthand when Cornell represented
that their Meinig Fieldhouse turf products would be"PFAS-free"yet would also contain PVDF (a
HAS compound) and recycled tire crumb (known with certainty to contain PFAS).
Below, I raise two additional concerns about your Board's unexamined repetition of manufacturer
and applicant claims that plastics are harmless,and your Board members'claim that it is not their
"purview"to accurately review the health and environmental impacts of artificial turf.
Do Not Replicate Questionable Information from Manufacturers
The Board issued a troubling replication of manufacturer/applicant claims in their FEAF:
"Low density polyethylene is also used for food packaging,packing film, squeezable bottles,
pipes/tubing,and medical/health care items. The application materials state that since
polyethylene is made from a polymer that is stable at high temperatures,it is inert and is
not associated with any known health effects,nor is it considered to be carcinogenic
by nationals and world health agencies.The polyethylene Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS)that is linked in the application supports these assertions"
'In that 21-page written public comment, I documented concerns about(1-3) Cornell's claim that
the turf field will be PFAS-free; (4) inadequate mitigation of microplastics contamination; (5) the
Board's failure to solicit independent expertise on a matter where they acknowledge they lack
relevant expertise; and (6) the applicant's misrepresentation of the terms of SEQR segmentation. I
encourage you to review that comment again,because it was summarily and completely ignored
during the Board's March 18 environmental determination.
2
This FEAF statement appears to be derived from the applicant's claims on March 4, 2025,that"Even
if you ingest LDPE you can't digest it-just as no exposure to polyethylene occurs when drinking
from a water bottle made of polyethylene" (see screenshot below and recording at 3:08).
These statements appear irreconcilable with the scientific literature.We know that people are
exposed to nanoplastic particles when they drink from polyethylene water bottles. The average litre
of bottled water contains almost a quarter of a million nanoplastic fragments (Oian et al., 2024).
This is incompatible with the applicant's claim that"no exposure to polyethylene occurs when
drinking from a bottle made from polyethylene" (PE) -the very same bottles tested in this study.
Alarmingly,those same researchers state that,"In particular, nanoplastics are believed to be more
toxic since their smaller size renders them much more amenable,compared to microplastics,to
enter the human body." Nanoplastics,you will be aware, are precisely the particles that Cornell's
stormwater filtration system will not filter out. Cornell asserts that their filtration system will
capture "detectable"microplastics while ignoring all microplastics smaller than 25 microns-not to
mention airborne particles.
We also know that nano-and micro-plastics enter human bodies,in direct contrast to the
applicant's claim that the plastic in their turf product can be"ingested"but not"digested,"by which
they evidently mean the plastics cannot be taken up biologically.Yet polyethylene plastics are
known to cross the blood-brain barrier and have been found in many human organs. The World
Health Organization warns that the smallest fragments of microplastics (measuring less than 10
micrometres) are likely to be taken up biologically. Confirming that,polyethylene (the same plastic
used in Cornell's product) is the most prevalent polymer found in placentas (Garcia et al.. 2024; see
also Haederle. 2024) and human brains (Nihart et al.. 2025),and is also prevalent inhuman breast
milk(Saraluck et al., 2024). This is inconsistent with the applicant's claim that microplastics can't
be digested and/or taken up biologically.
Incidentally,the claim that microplastics are "inert"appears meaningless.A bullet and a knife would
both qualify as"inert"on this vacuous definition-that does not make them harmless. In any case,
nano-and micro-plastics are known to act as vectors that accumulate and convey toxins in the
environment(e.g., Sobhani et al., 20211.There is a growing body of evidence that nano-and
micro-plastics are associated with a wide range of health risks (for just one example, see Xu et al.,
2022),in contradiction to the Planning Board's FEAF claim that they are "not associated with any
known health effects"
I am frankly astonished that members of our Planning Board have repeated misinformation in their
Full Environmental Assessment Form.This alone is a shocking indicator of how skewed these
proceedings have been. It reveals how the Board has failed their duty to consider the best available
scientific evidence in weighing the consequences of this project. It also underscores how severely
the Board has failed to make good on their own commitment to secure outside expertise,a
commitment that was applauded by the expert Dr. Genoa Warner, NJ Institute of Technology, Dept of
Chemistry and Environmental Science, in her email correspondence with the Planning Board:
3
"It is great that you are looking for[an] objective third party to review this because so
many communities rely exclusively on information from manufacturers:" (p. 12 of 213
in the Packet Information from the Town Planning Board Packet for the March 41 2025)
This is your Job.Do not Pretend that It's Not.
Members of this Board have sought to abdicate their responsibility for a careful scientific review of
the health and environmental harms of artificial turf on grounds that this is"outside their purview,"
"politicized,""ideological,"or constituted"scapegoating"of the athletic community. For instance,in
support of a negative declaration on March 4, Planning Board member Liz Bageant stated that,
"Would I prefer that there be less plastic in the world?Definitely. But I don't think that this project is
the place to push for that"
No,this project is not the place to push for more or less anything. Instead,this project-and every
project-is the place for the Planning Board to impartially review the best available scientific
evidence and issue a credible environmental determination that takes into account concerns from
the public and the scientific community,rather than deferring to the applicant. The Planning Board
has so far failed to fulfill that job. It is not too late to correct the course.
I fear for the children-human and nonhuman-who have to live with the consequences of this
Planning Board's failure to follow the scientific evidence.Al Gore is hardly a radical. But in a recent
address,he pointed out that fossil fuel companies are losing their home markets of electricity
generation and transportation,so "they're telling Wall Street that they're going to make up all of the
expected lost revenue in their first two markets by tripling the production of plastics over the next
35 years" He asks:
"Is that realistic?Because we've already found-the scientists say-that some seabirds are
manifesting symptoms like Alzheimer's disease from the plastic particles in their brains and
they found that it crosses the blood-brain barrier in humans, and the size of the amount has
doubled just in the last decade.
Do we really want to continue that?
It's crazy,but they are blocking action at both of these international forums and they're
blocking action in the deliberations of nation-states, even in states and provinces, and even
at the local level.Anywhere in the world where there is an effort to pass legislation or
regulations that reduces the burning of fossil fuels,they are there with their money,with
their lobbyists,with their captive politicians,blocking it as best they can."
Here in Ithaca, I am not aware of any fossil fuel lobbyists blocking action. It is not"evil"fossil fuel
executives who are pushing for destruction.As Hannah Arendt observed in another context: It is
ordinary people who insist upon doing their jobs the way they have always done them-even when
those jobs are causing catastrophe. It is ordinary athletes who are willing to leave future
4
generations of athletes with thousands of tons of toxic waste and carbon emissions in order to play
for 8-12 years on the most convenient plastic field themselves. It is ordinary people who are not
brave enough to ask questions of the status quo. It is ordinary people who refuse to speak up for
science, ethics, and the change we need,and instead duck their heads and take cover under"the way
we've always done things"or the idea that"this is someone else's purview"
This is your purview.You are our neighbors,friends,former Cornell faculty,and people who say
you care about science and this community.Why are you rejecting the evidence-based concerns of
the public, rejecting the scientific data, and replicating biased information from the plastics industry
in your environmental assessment form?
Please rescind your negative declaration and initiate a GEIS.At the very least,please do not approve
the site plan until the applicant fulfills conditions on independent and rigorous HAS testing, correct
and comprehensive stormwater modeling,and verified recycling plans as outlined in the legal
memo from Citizen Environmental Law PLLC.
Sincerely,
bethany ojalehto mays, PhD
Appendix A) To Dismiss PFAS Concerns is to Ignore the Evidence and Abdicate Your
Responsibility
The legal memo from Citizen Environmental Law PLLC should make it clear that your Board has so
far abdicated responsibility by claiming that you can ignore the issue of HAS in your review.
According to your FEAF:
"Because the product is PFAS-free (as will be confirmed in both phases by independent
testing laboratory prior to the product's delivery to the project site), information provided
to the Planning Board about the effects of HAS are not relevant to this project"
This statement is wholly unwarranted. First, it ignores the history of failed promises for PFAS-free
turf,as repeatedly documented in public comments. That history reveals disputed notions of what a
"PFAS-free"turf installation entails,with the manufacturers' definitions evidently allowing for HAS
contamination. Each Ithaca Town Planning Board member must now be fully aware that Cornell
made just such a claim on the interconnected Meinig Fieldhouse Project,where they(1) conceded
that their product's plastic blades would contain PVDF (a type of PFAS),which they incorrectly
characterized as harmless before your Board; (2) confirmed that their product would contain
tire-crumb infill,known without doubt to contain PFAS; and (3)yet simultaneously represented that
their product would be PFAS-free. These three claims cannot all be true. Clearly,the applicant's
definition of a"PFAS-free"product in the case of the Meinig Fieldhouse allows for the presence of
PFAS. Therefore,the applicant's pledge for a"PFAS-free product" cannot be taken as assurance that
the Board can ignore concerns about HAS in their environmental review.
5
Recognizing these problems,the legal memo from Citizen's Environmental Law PLLC urges you to
require independent, credible testing that conforms to best practices prior to issuing site plan
approval. Please do so. It would be an abdication of your responsibility to disregard threats to public
health and environmental safety on the pretense of a PFAS-free turf installation promise.
Issuing site plan approval in the absence of such testing would amount to approving an unbuildable
project.There is no independent evidence to date that such a field exists. There is plenty of evidence
that such promises have repeatedly failed, at great cost to the communities forced to bear the
consequences. If the Planning Board grants final site plan approval absent testing to ensure that
their own criteria are met,then they risk being locked into accepting whatever turf product Cornell
says is possible.To repeat: There is absolutely no evidence that a PFAS-free turf product exists,
and voluminous scientific evidence that such products do not exist(including,notably,the
"research summary"submitted by Cornell's own consultant.)
Slide from the Applicant on the Game Farm Road Project:
Public Health Research Findings
• Majority of studies evaluating health effects related to synthetic turf have been focused on turf with
crumb rubber infill—the conclusions of these studies are not applicable to this project
• Turf blades are 100%low-density polyethylene(LDPE)
• LDPE is considered safe for use in food packaging and other consumer products. It is approved by
regulatory agencies,such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),for contact with food and
beverages. LDPE is also widely used in medical devices,such as syringes, due to its inert and non-
reactive nature
• LDPE is made from a polymer that is inert, is stable at high temperatures, is not associated with any
known health effects,nor is it considered to be carcinogenic
• Skin contact with the turf cannot result in exposure to the polyethylene(even if pieces of grass
blades are ingested,they cannot be digested—just as no exposure to polyethylene occurs when
drinking from a bottle made from polyethylene)

Town Planning Board Spoken Public Comment 5/6/2025
bethany ojalehto mays
SPOKEN COMMENT
I urge you to implement the preconditions for site plan approval outlined in the legal memo
from Citizen Environmental Law PLLC.They will ensure that promises about HAS testing,
stormwater filtration, and recycling are executed in a binding fashion that ensures accountability
and transparency. It is the bare minimum your Board can do in the absence of an EIS.
If you issue site plan approval in the absence of those conditions,you will approve an unbuildable
project.There is no evidence to date that a PFAS-free turf exists. Likewise, all evidence indicates
that plastics recycling is an abject failure.We don't need hope-based decision-making.We need
evidence-based decision-making. That's your job.
On that note, I am troubled by your replication of industry claims. In your FEAF,you stated that the
low density polyethylene used for this product is:
"inert and is not associated with any known health effects,nor is it considered to be
carcinogenic:'
This appears to be derived from the applicant's claims that"Even if you ingest LDPE you can't digest
it-just as no exposure to polyethylene occurs when drinking from a water bottle made of
polyethylene"
Those statements are irreconcilable with the scientific literature.
First,you are definitely exposed when drinking from plastic water bottles including polyethylene
ones.The average litre of bottled water contains almost a quarter of a million nanoplastic fragments
(Qian et al., 2024).
Second,those nanoplastics are definitely taken up biologically.They cross the blood-brain barrier.
Polyethylene is the most prevalent polymer found in placentas and human brains, and it's also
prevalent in human breast milk.
Your FEAF and the applicant are both wrong: microplastics can be taken up biologically, and there is
a growing body of evidence that they're associated with a wide range of health risks.
Moreover,researchers say that, "nanoplastics are believed to be more toxic since their smaller size
renders them much more amenable...to enter the human body." Nanoplastics are precisely the
particles that Cornell's filtration system will not capture.You all know that.
The misinformation in your Environmental Assessment Form is an indicator of how skewed these
proceedings have been. It reveals how the Board has failed to consider the scientific evidence,and
failed to make good on your own earlier commitment to secure outside expertise.
Finally,this is your job.
Board members have abdicated responsibility for environmental review on grounds that this is
"outside their purview," "politicized," or constitutes "scapegoating" of the athletic community.That
is not true. Other Planning Boards are saying no to artificial turf,and/or requiring full
environmental reviews.
This is your purview.Until we have adequate legislation at the state and local level,we rely on YOU
to keep our communities safe. In the absence of legislation,we rely on you to adapt your
decision-making to the latest, most reliable scientific evidence for our protection. Don't let us down.

Subject: NYC Now Has 286 Plastic Turf Fields—Is Ithaca Next?
Good evening. My name is Emily Jernigan, and I'm speaking as a mother of an infant and as a member of
Zero Waste Ithaca.
I want to draw your attention to a recent report from Columbia Journalism School News Service that
highlights what's happening downstate in New York City. As of today, NYC manages 286 synthetic turf
fields, with more in planning or construction. These numbers come directly from the city's own Open
Data portal.
This is notjust an NYC problem—it's a cautionarytale. What starts in large institutions like Cornell often
sets the tone for municipalities across the state. Cornell already has multiple synthetic turf fields, and
each new one sends a message: plastic turf is normal, acceptable, even necessary. But it's not.
Synthetic turf contains toxic chemicals like PFAS, known as "forever chemicals," which have been linked
to cancer, immune disruption, and developmental harm. It overheats in summer sun, contributes to
microplastic pollution, and creates recurring costs and disposal burdens every 8-10 years.And yet, the
public is too often excluded from the decision-making until it's too late.
In NYC, parents found out only after construction began. One mother FOILed for chemical safety data on
the turf her toddler plays on—months later, she still hasn't received answers. The turf is already in. Her
child is already walking on it. That's not informed consent. That's a betrayal of public trust.
Ithaca has a choice. You can either follow this path—or break from it. Planning boards are not just rubber
stamps. You are stewards of public health and environmental integrity. I urge you to consider the long-
term implications of enabling synthetic turf expansion here.
Please don't let Ithaca become the next data point in a growing statewide plastic turf crisis.
Thankyou.
