Subin Trustee Politi Village Treasurer Genette Toone Trustee Slippen Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 New York State Department of Conservation, the New York State Department of Transportation, and the Metro North Railroad. Mr. Riely emphasized that all these entities should be required to replace every tree they cut down. Mr. Riely also addressed the Conservation Zoning the Board recently passed that also exempted these properties. Eric Ferguson, 2 Alexander Lane, Croton on Hudson, stated that the New York State Department of Conservation has identified several invasive species of trees and shrubs that are prohibited or regulated and recommended exempting these invasive species from the Tree Law, he also suggested eliminating the need for a permit if tree removal work is overseen by a licensed arborist. John Ealer, 5 Prickly Pear Hill Road, Croton on Hudson, and Chair of the Conservation Advisory Council thanked the Board for collaborating with the Conservation Advisory Council in developing this new law and looks forward to further collaborations with the CAC.

ENSURE MAINTENANCE OF NEW CROTON DAM CONSERVATION FLOW Maintaining natural river flows below water supply reservoirs is inherently complicated and requires a difficult balance between human demands and sustainable flows to conserve a river’s ecological health 2. ADDRESS DRAINAGE SYSTEMS THAT LEAD TO EROSION ON STEEP SLOPES The objective of this project is to promote Yes Yes Yes Yes Board Concurred Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 activities that will control soil erosion and sedimentation caused by stormwater runoff. These issues are most significant along the steep banks of the Croton River Gorge 3. FACILITATE UPGRADES TO CATCH BASINS AND OUTFALLS TO ADDRESS FLOATABLES IN CROTON BAY The intent of this project is to control stormwater runoff discharges and other pollutants from entering Croton Bay. Protecting the ecological health of Croton Bay and River is a priority for the Village. 4. FACILITATE UPGRADES TO CROTON- HARMON PARKING LOT TO ADDRESS FLOATABLES IN CROTON BAY The parking facility is currently overwhelmed by asphalt paving with rows of cars. There is minimal landscaping or greenery, and in certain areas, parking directly abuts wetland areas in Croton Bay. The Village should consider implementing green infrastructure within the parking lot in order to capture runoff onsite and reduce sewer overflows. 5. IMPROVE ECHO CANOE LAUNCH AND VILLAGE-OWNED LAND AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TRAIN STATION PARKING LOT This project supports the continued improvement of this recreational area to enhance public access to the Croton River and Bay and the Hudson River 6. RELOCATE VILLAGE DPW FACILITY, SALT SHED AND MATERIAL STORAGE AREA The DPW operates a salt storage shed at the southern end of the Croton-Harmon parking lot. There is also an uncovered storage area near the salt shed for rocks and other construction materials which can leach directly into Croton Bay from the facility. 7. FACILITATE ACCESS TO THE HUDSON RIVER WATERFRONT A recurring comment from public input during this LWRP process and prior plans was the need to improve access to the Hudson River waterfront for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Although there have been some improvements such as the Brook Street pedestrian bridge, in general, access to the waterfront is limited, and difficult in some locations. 8. FACILITATE CROTON YACHT CLUB/CROTON LANDING Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 IMPROVEMENTS The concept of a waterfront restaurant, or another use at the southern end of Croton Landing Park, adjacent to the Croton Yacht Club, has been discussed by the Village for years. Parking is also an issue as there is already insufficient on-site parking at Croton Landing Park to satisfy demand during busy hours. 9. IMPLEMENT SEGMENT OF RIVERWALK TRAIL FROM CROTON LANDING PARK TO OSCAWANA COUNTY PARK According to the Hudson River Trailway Plan (2003), Westchester County has proposed a 1-mile trail along the Hudson River that would connect Croton Landing Park with Oscawana County Park in Cortlandt. This trail would fill a gap between the River Walk trails at these two parks. 10. UNDERTAKE MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR VILLAGE PARKS, TRAILS, OPEN SPACES AND MEMORIALS This project supports the creation of a Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan to address ongoing care and protection of existing parks, open spaces, and trails. The goal would be to provide an action plan for regular maintenance and target capital improvements when needed. 11. DEVELOP PLAN FOR FUTURE USE OF GOUVEIA PARK The purpose of this project is for the Village to create a conceptual plan that will examine how to best utilize the Gouveia Park, a 15.63-acre site acquired by the Village. 6.

No LWRP SECTION IV PROPOSED LAND USES AND PROJECTS CROTON RIVER BASIN PROJECTS 1. ENSURE MAINTENANCE OF NEW CROTON DAM CONSERVATION FLOW Maintaining natural river flows below water supply reservoirs is inherently complicated and requires a difficult balance between Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 human demands and sustainable flows to conserve a river’s ecological health 2. ADDRESS DRAINAGE SYSTEMS THAT LEAD TO EROSION ON STEEP SLOPES The objective of this project is to promote activities that will control soil erosion and sedimentation caused by stormwater runoff. These issues are most significant along the steep banks of the Croton River Gorge Yes Yes Yes Yes Board Concurred 3. FACILITATE UPGRADES TO CATCH BASINS AND OUTFALLS TO ADDRESS FLOATABLES IN CROTON BAY The intent of this project is to control stormwater runoff discharges and other pollutants from entering Croton Bay. Protecting the ecological health of Croton Bay and River is a priority for the Village. 4. FACILITATE UPGRADES TO CROTON- HARMON PARKING LOT TO ADDRESS FLOATABLES IN CROTON BAY The parking facility is currently overwhelmed by asphalt paving with rows of cars. There is minimal landscaping or greenery, and in certain areas, parking directly abuts wetland areas in Croton Bay. The Village should consider implementing green infrastructure within the parking lot in order to capture runoff onsite and reduce sewer overflows. 5. IMPROVE ECHO CANOE LAUNCH AND VILLAGE-OWNED LAND AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TRAIN STATION PARKING LOT This project supports the continued improvement of this recreational area to enhance public access to the Croton River and Bay and the Hudson River 6. RELOCATE VILLAGE DPW FACILITY, SALT SHED AND MATERIAL STORAGE AREA The DPW operates a salt storage shed at the southern end of the Croton-Harmon parking lot. There is also an uncovered storage area near the salt shed for rocks and other construction materials which can leach directly into Croton Bay from the facility. 7. FACILITATE ACCESS TO THE HUDSON RIVER WATERFRONT A recurring comment from public input during this LWRP process and prior plans was the need to improve access to the Hudson River waterfront for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Although there have been some improvements such as the Brook Street pedestrian bridge, in general, access to the waterfront is limited, and difficult in some Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 locations. 8. FACILITATE CROTON YACHT CLUB/CROTON LANDING IMPROVEMENTS The concept of a waterfront restaurant, or another use at the southern end of Croton Landing Park, adjacent to the Croton Yacht Club, has been discussed by the Village for years. Parking is also an issue as there is already insufficient on-site parking at Croton Landing Park to satisfy demand during busy hours. 9. IMPLEMENT SEGMENT OF RIVERWALK TRAIL FROM CROTON LANDING PARK TO OSCAWANA COUNTY PARK According to the Hudson River Trailway Plan (2003), Westchester County has proposed a 1-mile trail along the Hudson River that would connect Croton Landing Park with Oscawana County Park in Cortlandt. This trail would fill a gap between the River Walk trails at these two parks. 10. UNDERTAKE MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR VILLAGE PARKS, TRAILS, OPEN SPACES AND MEMORIALS This project supports the creation of a Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan to address ongoing care and protection of existing parks, open spaces, and trails. The goal would be to provide an action plan for regular maintenance and target capital improvements when needed. 11. DEVELOP PLAN FOR FUTURE USE OF GOUVEIA PARK The purpose of this project is for the Village to create a conceptual plan that will examine how to best utilize the Gouveia Park, a 15.63- acre site acquired by the Village. 7. Responses to questions submitted by Email – None. 8. PUBLIC COMMENTS - AGENDA ITEMS Melissa Hoffmann, organizer with Food and Water Watch, thanked the Board for putting the resolution supporting the stopping of Project Maple on the agenda; she supports the statement against fossil fuel infrastructure in Westchester and across New York State and passing this resolution is going to be a powerful statement to Governor Hochul. June 25, 2025 Patti Buchanan spoke on behalf of Croton 100, Croton 100 supports a zero percent emission free future and to continue the movement of reducing greenhouse gasses to net zero in Croton through education and advocacy and urged the Board to support this resolution. Joan Wilson, 99 Maple Street, Croton on Hudson, stated that we cannot keep making the same mistakes for our children and grandchildren and believes that the name “Maple Project” was selected to obscure what this really is. Megan Dyer, 33 Penfield Avenue, Croton on Hudson, stated that she is a volunteer for Mothers Out Front and is grateful for everything the Board is doing, the Maple Pipeline will affect all of us, she is from a farm community in Pennsylvania where all the fracking started and the water is not drinkable. Donna O'Malley, 58 Hastings Avenue, Croton on Hudson stated that she is also with Mothers Out Front and she is extremely concerned about the environment and the pipeline going under the Hudson, the Maple Pipeline is far more dangerous and she is glad Croton is joining other communities fighting this pipeline. Samantha Harvey, 477 Mount Airy Road East, Croton on Hudson, stated that she is baffled that we are still having this debate on whether or not to expand oil and gas infrastructure, our atmosphere is changing, building onto an existing pipeline is ludicress and insulting to the residents of this state. Cristina Alvarez Arnold, 51 Old Post Road N, Croton on Hudson, stated that the Algonquin Pipeline runs dangerously close to our beautiful Hudson River, pipelines eventually leak gasses that poison our air and jeopardize the livability of our plant and we need to stop this insanity and insist that our leaders put the brakes on this project. Ed Riely, 110 Truesdale Drive, Croton on Hudson, asked the Manager to address the $106,000 of spending on the Crossining Bridge which he believes belongs to the State. Mr. Riely stated that our power infrastructure is in terrible shape, demand is expected to go up by 35% in the next five years, and believes Indian Point was closed too soon before we had alternatives in place and emphasized that our power will need to come from natural gas, not solar or wind power. June 25, 2025 Chandu Visweswariah, Colabaugh Pond Road, Croton on Hudson, stated that there is no place for gas pipelines in our society and believes it is a harmful poison, we can provide all the energy we need with a combination of solar and batteries, nuclear energy waste will burden future generations and the time has come to ramp down our use of gas. Resolution Approving the Consent Agenda On motion by Trustee Simon and seconded by Trustee Politi the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson approved the Consent Agenda with a 5-0 vote. Trustee Simon thanked the residents who came out to speak on the Maple Project, this is not new to us, but rather in concert with everything we have done in the Village such as our solar panels at the train station. Mayor Pugh stated that Westchester County has a “D” rating from the American Lung Association, we also have hundreds of thousands of people who suffer with respiratory diseases that would be made worse by the localized air pollutants that are generated by the compressor stations that would be necessary to move the natural gas as well as possible unfortunate effects from these high-pressure stations. Mayor Pugh stated that it is imperative that Washington extend the Clean Energy Tax Credits that would continue to assist communities in instituting alternative energy solutions. Mayor Pugh stated that New York State is only in the top half in terms of renewable sources with Texas being number one in being consistent in providing clean energy and storage. Mayor Pugh stated that clean energy is the future and we should not be investing in fossil fuels. 9. CONSENT AGENDA: 1.

RESOLUTIONS: Resolution #158-2025 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE POLITI, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS a letter dated June 6, 2025, addressed to Majority Leader John Thune and Chairman Mike Crapo, was signed by the Honorable Jen A. Kiggans, Brian K. Fitzpatrick, Juan Ciscomani, Nick LaLota, Michael V. Lawler, Andrew R. Garbarino, Don Bacon, Mark E. Amodei, Gabe Evans, Young Kim, David G. Valadao, Rob Bresnahan, Jr., and Thomas H. Kean, Jr., Members of the House Republican Conference, and WHEREAS this letter expresses continued support for common-sense energy policy and urges the Senate to improve clean energy tax credit provisions in the House- passed reconciliation bill, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and WHEREAS the signatories conveyed deep concern regarding provisions whose mere consideration by Congress are already slowing our clean energy progress, noting that "over $14 billion in energy projects have been cancelled or delayed, with $4.5 billion scrapped in April alone" due to lack of business certainty, and WHEREAS electricity demand is surging for the first time in decades, driven in part by data centers for artificial intelligence, further exacerbating the challenge for power companies to meet demand, and WHEREAS the cost of electricity is currently rising across the United States, straining household budgets and impacting manufacturers and small businesses, and WHEREAS analyses suggest that repealing federal tax credits for low-carbon electricity sources, as proposed in the current form of H.R. 1, could lead to significant increases in energy bills, potentially by as much as $400 per year for the average family within a decade, and cause power prices to surge over 13 percent in some states by 2032, and Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 WHEREAS ending tax breaks for solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries would increase their cost and reduce their availability, increasing reliance on natural gas and potentially driving up its price, while additional factors like increased gas exports and new tariffs on materials could further escalate electricity costs; and WHEREAS, the Edison Electric Institute estimates that clean electricity tax breaks would save Americans $45 billion on their bills through 2031, underscoring their importance in mitigating rising energy costs, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson thanks the aforementioned Congressmembers for their proactive engagement and articulate advocacy for critical adjustments to H.R. 1, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this body encourages these Congressmembers to steadfastly honor their commitment to protect and enhance the energy provisions crucial for America's competitive, reliable, and secure energy future and preventing further cancellations or delays of vital energy infrastructure projects across the nation and ultimately protecting American households and businesses from further energy price increases. Resolution #164-2025 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE POLITI, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS the proposed Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is a vital first step towards establishing a robust cap-and-invest program for New York State, and WHEREAS the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) mandates significant climate goals, including a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels by 2030 and an 85% reduction by 2050, for which the cap-and-invest program is a critical mechanism, and WHEREAS this proposed rule clearly outlines the entities required to report and their thresholds, encompassing a wide range of carbon emission contributors from fossil fuel suppliers to end-users, with this detailed data collection being essential for the program's success and accountability, and Village Board of Trustees June 25, 2025 WHEREAS while this reporting rule is a significant advancement, it is recognized that this action alone is insufficient to achieve the full potential of a comprehensive cap-and-invest program, and WHEREAS a broad coalition of New Yorkers advocates for the rapid development and implementation of a strong cap-and-invest program to improve air quality and mitigate harmful pollution throughout the state, ensuring that all New Yorkers can reside in communities with clean air and water, and WHEREAS delays in the full implementation of this program disproportionately benefit major polluters, leading to continued environmental degradation, compromised air quality, and rising healthcare costs for residents, and WHEREAS at least 30% of the revenue generated by this program will be directly rebated to families on their electricity bills, thereby assisting with energy cost management and ensuring affordability, and WHEREAS in light of ongoing federal actions that may diminish environmental protections and clean energy investments, New York State has a pivotal opportunity and responsibility to establish a national precedent through its cap-and-invest program, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Board of Trustees hereby expresses its strong support for the proposed Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule and urges Governor Kathy Hochul and the DEC to promptly release all remaining necessary regulations for public comment, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Governor Hochul and the DEC are called upon to expedite the full implementation of the cap-and-invest program without further delay, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the leadership of Governor Hochul and the DEC is crucial for protecting public health, combating climate change, and building a more just and sustainable economy for all New Yorkers. Resolution #165-2025 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE POLITI, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. June 25, 2025 WHEREAS Enbridge Inc. has proposed ‘Project Maple,’ an expansion of the Algonquin pipeline capacity and infrastructure, potentially involving new compressor stations in New York at Stony Point and Southeast, and an increased capacity in Ramapo, and WHEREAS such expansions necessitate permits from New York State agencies, including the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Public Service Commission (PSC), and WHEREAS the proposed Algonquin expansion poses environmental and economic risks to the Hudson River ecosystem and local tourism, and WHEREAS increased natural gas volume from expanded pipeline infrastructure, including ‘Project Maple,’ the Williams Constitution pipeline, and the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline, heightens health and safety risks, with compressor station emissions containing pollutants linked to serious health threats, and WHEREAS historical data confirms significant safety hazards, including leaks and explosions, associated with natural gas pipeline infrastructure, and WHEREAS discussions have occurred regarding the potential revival of previously opposed fossil fuel projects, including the Williams Constitution pipeline, NESE, and the Pilgrim Pipeline, and WHEREAS new or expanded fossil fuel infrastructure conflicts directly with New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), undermining the state's transition to renewable energy, and WHEREAS continued reliance on natural gas infrastructure means susceptibility to volatile fossil fuel markets, potentially increased consumer costs, and diversion of investment from clean energy alternatives, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Board of Trustees respectfully urges Governor Kathy Hochul to oppose the proposed Algonquin pipeline expansion (‘Project Maple’), the Constitution pipeline, the Pilgrim Pipeline, and any other new fossil fuel infrastructure projects that conflict with New York State's climate goals, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Governor Kathy Hochul is urged to direct relevant state agencies to deny permits for the proposed ‘Project Maple’ expansion, upholding the CLCPA and New York's commitment to a sustainable future.
