approval of the proposed Operation, Maintenance and Reporting Agreement, and the proposed Permanent Stormwater and Access Easements and Right-of-Way, is a Type II action because it constitutes
“routine or continuing agency administration and management, not including new programs or major reordering of priorities that may affect the environment,” and thus this action is not
subject to review under SEQRA;now therefore be it

Large-Scale Solar Energy System Project, subject to the review by the Attorney for the Town.
