recommended for additional mitigation studies due to the extensive documentation already
completed.
Additional Phase I Survey was completed in 2014 for properties for which access became
available, or for newly added properties associated with route adjustments or ancillary facilities
such as contractor yards. That survey work has been reported to the SHPOs and Tribes in two
addendum volumes (one for each state). No sites were found in 2014 that were recommended for
additional testing.
In 2015, additional Phase I Survey will be completed on all remaining properties as soon as
weather conditions allow.
The Public portion of this submittal includes summary tables of communication with the

piping, and appurtenant facilities. The proposed Westfall Road M&R Station will be located at the
terminus of the pipeline in the Town of Wright in Schoharie County, New York. Additionally, the
construction workspace for the project will include temporary workspaces, additional temporary
workspaces, permanent right-of-way, access roads, and contractor/pipe yards
Area of Potential Effects
URS Secretary of the Interior-qualified Architectural Historians conducted an historic aboveground
reconnaissance-level survey of all properties that were within or crossed by the proposed project
survey corridor and where new aboveground facilities were proposed (i.e. meter and regulating
stations and compressor stations). This area constitutes the APE for the Project. See Attachment 1
for the limits of the aboveground APE. The limits of the visual APE surrounding these aboveground
facilities will be established through consultation with the OPRHP when design details are better
defined. In addition, if there are subsequent re-routes that introduce new parcels to survey and
aboveground historic resources are identified, an addendum will be submitted.
Results
The aboveground reconnaissance-level surveys conducted in 2012 and 2013 identified a total of 168
aboveground historic resources over 50 years of age. Recently, the primary route was shifted,
requiring the APE to be modified and causing 50 aboveground historic resources to fall out of that
modified APE. There are 108 aboveground historic resources within the modified APE. Ten of the
108 resources were not surveyed because access was denied, is still pending, or the property was
demolished. Of the 108 properties within the modified APE, 15 properties were determined eligible
for listing in the NRHP and 93 were determined not eligible for listing in the NRHP. See Table 1 for
the list of resources within the APE (including NRHP status), see Table 2 for those resources not
surveyed, and see Table 3 for those resources no longer in the APE. Overview maps showing the
location of all the resources listed on the following tables can be found in Attachment 1.

As noted in Table 1, there are 15 properties in the APE that are eligible for listing in the NRHP.
These properties were assessed for potential effects, taking into consideration the pipeline alignment,
associated permanent workspaces, temporary workspaces, alternative workspaces, and potential
changes to function or use. While it is not anticipated that the proposed pipeline will cause visual
impacts to the aboveground historic resources based on the Project design and location of
aboveground historic resources, project plans are not yet complete, so further analysis may be
required. Following analysis of the Project plans and conditions of the historic properties, it was
determined that the Project would cause No Adverse Effect to historic properties in the APE. For a
detailed discussion of the effects assessment, see the table included in Attachment 2. Detailed site
plans of NRHP-eligible properties showing the locations of contributing and noncontributing
resources within each property are included in Attachment 3.

The Primary (preferred) route for the proposed 124.4-mile Constitution Pipeline includes 25.2 miles in
Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and 95.2 miles in New York through the counties of Broome,
Chenango, Delaware, Schoharie. The project involves the construction of a new 30-inch diameter natural
gas pipeline.
Undertaking
URS is continuing our consultation on the project in relation to aboveground facilities. Two new
meter stations (one in Susquehanna County, PA and one in Schoharie County, NY), with valves,
piping, condenser tanks and appurtenant facilities are proposed. In addition to the two meter stations,
eleven communication towers are proposed to be constructed along the pipeline route (two in
Pennsylvania and nine in New York).
Communication Monopole Information - Constitution has identified a need for a radio
communication system for use by Williams Operations personnel in the course of operation,
maintenance, special operations such as pig runs and pipeline repairs, and during emergency
situations. Constitution proposes to install a radio communication system that will consist of erecting
a 100-foot high monopole, with an antenna installed near the top of the pole, at eleven locations. A

lightning rod will be located on the top of the pole. These locations are at the Turnpike Meter and
Regulator (M&R) Station, Westfall M&R Station, and the nine proposed Main Line Valve locations.
A VHF or UHF radio communication system will prove vital to maintain communication between
operations personnel throughout the pipeline route during emergency situations. A drawing depicting
a typical communication tower is provided with this submittal (see Attachment 5).
Meter Station Information - Constitution proposes to construct two meter stations with
interconnecting piping along the proposed pipeline one meter station at the commencement of the
pipeline in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and the second at the terminus in Schoharie County,
New York. The meter stations will consist of unmanned facilities enclosed by a chain link fence, and
containing a meter and regulator building, launcher/receiver assemblies, associated above- and
below-ground piping, and valve fixtures to tie-in to proposed and existing pipelines. In addition to
the meter and regulator building, other structures include a flow control valve (FCV) building and a
remote terminal unit (RTU) building. These facilities will not require the installation of individual
septic systems or tie-ins to municipal sewer treatment facilities. The metering and regulator buildings
will be constructed on poured concrete slab foundations, with the balance of the yard inside the
facility fence-line consisting of crushed stone. The approximate heights of the buildings at the meter
stations are: FCV building, approximately 24-9; meter building, approximately 29-1; and RTU
building, approximately 12. See site plot plans and typical drawings in Attachment 5.
This consultation is specific to nine locations in New York, starting at Main Line Valve #3 at the
southern end (there are 2 MLV locations in Pennsylvania):
1) Main Line Valve #3 - Sanford Township, Broome County
2) Main Line Valve #4 - Sanford Township, Broome County
3) Main Line Valve #5 - Masonville Township, Delaware County
4) Main Line Valve #6 - Franklin Township, Delaware County
5) Main Line Valve #7 - Davenport Township, Delaware County
6) Main Line Valve #8 - Summit Township, Schoharie County
7) Main Line Valve #9 Richmondville Township, Schoharie County
8) Main Line Valve #10 Schoharie Township, Schoharie County
9) Main Line Valve Terminus Wright Township, Schoharie County
Area of Potential Effect
URS SOI-qualified Architectural Historians conducted a reconnaissance-level survey of all
properties 50 years or older within a half-mile Area of Potential Effect (APE) around the proposed
aboveground facilities. A half-mile was considered sufficient distance to take into account the
potential visual effects of the proposed 100-tall monopole towers. Prior surveys associated with the
Constitution Pipeline have identified historic resources whose parcels intersect the pipeline.
Therefore, a number of historic properties within the half-mile APE have been previously identified
during the course of this project. The current effort was to identify historic resources that do not
intersect with the pipeline transect, but are within a half-mile of the undertaking.
Results and Recommendations
The historic architecture reconnaissance survey was conducted in April 2014. URS identified 18
historic resources 50 years or older within the nine APEs. All 18 resources are recommended
ineligible for listing in the NRHP by URS. Please see the enclosed summary table in Attachment 1
listing the newly documented resources and their preliminary determinations of eligibility. Please
also see the enclosed tables in Attachment 3 listing the newly identified aboveground historic
resources that include a photograph(s) of the resource, locational information, summary description,
integrity assessment, and their preliminary determinations of eligibility. Location maps for the 18
aboveground historic resources are in Attachment 2.
Three resources previously found to be National Register-eligible are located within the APEs
associated with this undertaking: URS Survey No. 4150 (1157 Frank Briggs Road, Oneonta, NY) is
located in the APE of MLV #7; URS Survey 23021.002 (239 State Route 30A, Schoharie, NY) is
located in the APE of MLV #10; and URS Survey No. 23038 (219 Westfall Road, Wright, NY) is
located in the APE of MLV Terminus (Note: the USN numbers for these resources are not available
on Sphinx at present). These properties were assessed for potential effects, taking into consideration
monopole height and potential visual intrusions. Following analysis of the project plans, it was
determined that the Project would have No Adverse Effect upon these NR-eligible properties. For a
detailed discussion of the effects assessment, see the table included in Attachment 4. Detailed site
plans and photographs of the NRHP-eligible properties showing the locations of the resources in
relation to the proposed undertakings are included.
Enclosed on a CD please find a copy of the Constitution Pipeline, Reconnaissance Survey and
Preliminary Determinations of Eligibility Report, which includes the attachments listed below. We
request your concurrence on the preliminary determinations of eligibility and effects assessments for
the properties discussed above.

SHEET
OF
Undertaking
As previously mentioned, URS is continuing our consultation on the project in relation to aboveground
facilities. Two new meter stations (one in Susquehanna County, PA and one in Schoharie County, NY),
with valves, piping, condenser tanks and appurtenant facilities are proposed. In addition to the two meter
stations, nine communication towers are proposed to be constructed along the pipeline route (one in
Pennsylvania and eight in New York).
Communication Monopole Information - Constitution has identified a need for a radio communication
system for use by Williams Operations personnel in the course of operation, maintenance, special
operations such as pig runs and pipeline repairs, and during emergency situations. Constitution proposes
to install a radio communication system that will consist of erecting a 100-foot high monopole, with an
antenna installed near the top of the pole, at eleven locations. A lightning rod will be located on the top

of the pole. These locations are at the Turnpike Meter and Regulator (M&R) Station (PA), Westfall
M&R Station (NY), and the nine proposed Main Line Valve locations (one in PA; eight in NY). A VHF
or UHF radio communication system will prove vital to maintain communication between operations
personnel throughout the pipeline route during emergency situations. A drawing depicting a typical
communication tower is provided with this submittal (see Attachment 4).
Meter Station Information - Constitution proposes to construct two meter stations with interconnecting
piping along the proposed pipeline one meter station at the commencement of the pipeline in
Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and the second at the terminus in Schoharie County, New York.
The meter stations will consist of unmanned facilities enclosed by a chain link fence, and containing a
meter and regulator building, launcher/receiver assemblies, associated above- and below-ground piping,
and valve fixtures to tie-in to proposed and existing pipelines. In addition to the meter and regulator
building, other structures include a flow control valve (FCV) building and a remote terminal unit (RTU)
building. These facilities will not require the installation of individual septic systems or tie-ins to
municipal sewer treatment facilities. The metering and regulator buildings will be constructed on poured
concrete slab foundations, with the balance of the yard inside the facility fence-line consisting of
crushed stone. The approximate heights of the buildings at the meter stations are: FCV building,
approximately 24-9; meter building, approximately 29-1; and RTU building, approximately 12.
See site plot plans and typical drawings in Attachment 4.

There are no previously-identified National Register-eligible or listed properties within the APEs of the
Kickoff or MLV#2. The proposed undertaking will have No Effect on historic aboveground properties at
MLV #2; the eligibility status of Kozlowski Farm will need to be determined for the purposes of effects
determination at MLV Kickoff.
Please see the enclosed summary table in Attachment 1 listing the historic properties and their
preliminary determinations of eligibility. Location maps for the historic properties are in Attachment 2.
Please also see Abbreviated Pennsylvania Historic Resource Survey Forms in Attachment 3.
We request your concurrence on the preliminary determinations of eligibility for the properties
discussed above. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me by

Silo (ca.1940)
A tall concrete-block silo, constructed ca. 1940, stands adjacent to the southeast end of the barn, closest to the gabledunit. The interior of the stave is exposed with no covering/top. This structure appears in all three historic aerials of the
property, 1939, 1960 and 1969.
Integrity
The James Newton Farm retains integrity of location, setting, and association, but lacks integrity of feeling, design,
workmanship and feeling. The property does not retain sufficient late nineteenth or early 20th century agricultural
outbuildings, such as a poultry house, machine shed, garage, corncrib, or hay drying shed, to reflect a more important
regional agricultural trend. A few smaller outbuildings that were present in historic aerials are no longer extant. In
addition, the farmhouse and outbuildings appear to have all undergone some degree of recent modification further
diminishing their feeling and workmanship.

Criterion A, Agriculture, Northern Tier Grassland Region, 1900-1960 (Fluid Milk and Poultry)
The James Newton Farm was evaluated within the significant agricultural trend of fluid milk dairying in the Northern
Tier Grassland Region for the period 1900-1960. The farm is not eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A because it does not retain a sufficient degree of integrity to convey its
association with a particular event of trend.
During the period 1900-1960, fluid milk dairying and poultry production dominated the Northern Tier Grassland
Historic Agricultural region. The period was characterized by a shift from home dairying to centralized dairy
processing and sale of fluid milk to urban and industrial markets (PHMC 2010:E-67). The Northern Tier Grassland
region became the most specialized dairy region in the state during the first half of the 20th century (PHMC 2010:E68). Typically, between a third and a half of a farms acreage was devoted to pasture. Hay, used predominantly to feed
animals, dominated crop land on most farms. Corn for silage was another common crop. Poultry raising, especially
for egg production, became the second largest income generator during this period. Oats were produced for horse
feed, and buckwheat was often associated with honey production. Potatoes were raised for both market and home
consumption (PHMC 2010:E-68, 69). Farm tenancy was low, and womens labor roles expanded to meet the demands
of increased milk production. Hay and crop harvesting was mechanized during this period, and tractors were used
after ca. 1920, though most farms still had several horses and mules. Electricity became commonplace on farms,
milking became mechanized, and silos increased in number (PHMC 2010:E-70).
The farm no longer reflects a diversified farm with a strong representation of typical buildings and landscape features
from the period 1900-1960. The farmstead retains a ca. 1870 farmhouse, a ca. 1880-1900 barn, a ca. 1940 silo, a ca.
1880-1900 granary building and an early to mid-20th century shed; however, it does not retain a poultry house, milk
house, hog house or sheep barn. It also does not retain buildings that would help convey its township profile and level
of mechanization, such as a machine shed, garage, corncrib, or hay drying shed, reflecting agricultural and cultural
patterns for this period. At least two to three small outbuildings shown on the historic aerials from 1939 to 1969 are
no longer extant. The farm retains a yard, ornamental plantings around the house, significant acreage, wood lots, and
dirt roads within the property; however, it lacks any type of fencing or electrical utility poles. For these reasons, the
property lacks integrity of association and feeling.
