Attendance remains at one of its highest points in recent years considering summer month. Verplanck Seniors continue to meet at the Schoolhouse each week. Nutrition Program: The Home Delivered Meal Program is sporadic in nature, due in part to the fragile health of those involved. August yielded a few new additions to the program. The Congregate Meal Program varies in accordance with the menu as put forth by Westchester County Senior Programs and Services. We continued and increased the number of congregate meals this month, in addition to the GRAB & GO meal service. Other Services: I’ve attached our monthly August calendar so you can reference all the programs at the Center. In addition, to our regularly scheduled programs, we offered a few new offerings like a bus trip to WC Senior Dance Party, a cruise on the Hudson, Emergency Preparedness Awareness Event, Westchester Breathes class, and our Annual Picnic at the Pool. We have our regular scheduled programs that continue year around and are very successful.

May 2026 I. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE This Public Participation Plan (PPP) has been prepared by Village of Buchanan (hereinafter referred to as “applicant”) to fulfill and comply with the requirements of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Policy 29, Environmental Justice and Permitting (CP-29) for their proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion, that requires a revision to the Village’s SPDES Discharge Permit application and which has been determined by NYSDEC to potentially impact one or more potential environmental justice area (PEJA) and disadvantage community (DAC) (See Figures 1 and 2, respectively). An existing burden report (EBR) has been prepared and is included herein as an appendix. This PPP has been developed in accordance with the procedures established in CP-29 Section V.D and it aims to help ensure meaningful and effective public participation throughout the NYSDEC environmental permit review process. Public participation in the NYSDEC environmental permit review process means a program of activities that provides opportunities for stakeholders to be informed about and involved during the review of a proposed action. The objective of this PPP is to outline and describe the program of activities that the applicant will implement to actively seek and enhance public participation during the application review process.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED ACTION Project Overview The applicant proposes to increase the allowable discharge from the Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant on Greentown Road from 0.50 MGD to 0.75 MGD. To implement the proposed project, the applicant has submitted an application to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) for a revision to the WWTP’s SPDES Discharge Permit to increase the allowable discharge rate. Nature of Proposed Project/Action and Purpose The proposed action is for the increase in the allowable discharge from the Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant from 0.50 MGD to 0.75 MGD. The proposed increase in allowable discharge would allow the WWTP to process more wastewater from the Village and neighboring communities. The Village has recently committed to treating the wastewater from two large multi-family residential projects and wastewater from the Town of Cortlandt. Additionally, as the Indian Point Energy Center decommissions, land will become available for redevelopment. To enable these new projects, the Village’s WWTP needs the necessary capacity and discharge limits to process the additional wastewater. Page 27 Public Participation Plan July 2025 Buchanan WWTP Rev. May 2026 The proposed increase in allowable discharge will not significantly increase the footprint of the existing treatment system. New aeration equipment that the Village is required to install would be sized for the additional flow rates. The WWTP currently operates 24 hours, seven days a week. The increase in the discharge permit would not change the operating hours of the WWTP. The Village currently uses Allied Pollution Control (APC) and Village staff to oversee operation of the WWTP. A licensed operator from APC visits the WWTP every work day. The Village employes a full-time staff employee to assist the operator in plant operations and to quickly respond to emergencies. It is anticipated that additional staff would not be required to operate the plant at a higher flow rate. The licensed operator would continue to visit the WWTP every workday. A Project Site Map is provided in Appendix D. Potential Impacts The direct potential impacts are anticipated to be limited. There may be temporary impacts during construction, but there should be no adverse direct impacts to the environment as a result of this action. There will also be indirect impacts as a result of the project. Temporary Impacts: The construction required for the expansion of treatment capacity will depend upon grant funding. During construction one tank will be taken offline and reconstructed. Once the first tank is completed and accepted, the second tank will be reconstructed. As each treatment tank is sized for the maximum capacity, taking one offline will not significantly adversely impact the Village’s treatment system. As there are no residences abutting the WWTP property or along Greentown Road, construction activities, including, noise, dust, and vehicles, will not have an impact on Village residents. It not anticipated construction vehicles accessing the WWTP property along Greentown Road would have a negative impact to the commercial properties on Greentown Road. Direct Impacts: The increase in treatment capacity at the WWTP will not have direct adverse impacts on the environment. The physical footprint of the treatment system would be similar to the existing treatment tanks. As a result, there will be no significant increase in stormwater runoff. Additionally, all work will be performed within previously disturbed areas. Natural environment disturbance, such as tree removal or animal habitats, are anticipated to be impacted. Wastewater will be treated to applicable standards and discharged into the Hudson River at Lent’s Cove. The additional flow into the Hudson River will not have a significant impact on the river. Page 28 Public Participation Plan July 2025 Buchanan WWTP Rev. May 2026 The additional treatment will not result in a significant increase in noise or odor. Truck traffic at the WWTP may increase due to additional sludge hauling. By increasing the WWTP allowable discharge, the Village could expect an increase in sludge hauling from approximately 7 trucks per week to approximately 9 trucks per week. The actual increase would be dependent on plant efficiency. Truck traffic would likely travel down Greentown Rd and Bleakley Ave to Albany Post Rd (NYS Route 9A) or down Greentown Rd and Bleakley Ave to Westchester Ave. Either route is primarily through commercial and light industrial zones. Approximately 11 residences would be affected by traveling towards Albany Post Road and 9 residences would be affected by traveling towards Westchester Ave. The traffic increase is not anticipated to significantly adversely impact surrounding properties. It is likely electrical usage at the WWTP would increase. The increase in usage would not be significant and would be offset by the additional sewer rates collected. As mentioned above, the potential increase is not anticipated to result in an increase in staffing or operator requirements at the WWTP. One licensed operator would visit the WWTP each work day. One Village staff will assist the operator. Indirect Impacts: As a result of the increase in the discharge permit, the Village will be able to treat more wastewater at the WWTP. This would enable more development projects and sewer services in the Village. Those indirect impacts are subject to individual design projects and cannot be quantified or evaluated as part of this project. As result, indirect impacts are not further considered. III. STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION & CONTACT LIST A contact list consisting of the names, addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses of stakeholders to the proposed action is provided in Appendix A. The contact list includes individuals and organizations with a direct stake in the proposed action and people and individuals and organizations that have expressed interest in the proposed project or similar projects affecting the same neighborhood or community. To develop a draft contact list, the applicant reached out to residents/neighborhood groups who are near or adjacent to the proposed project and that will be or potentially will be affected by the project; community boards, community leaders, local community, civic and recreational organizations, and environmental and business groups to help identify stakeholders and develop an initial contact list. The current contact list has been developed in consultation with NYSDEC by identifying stakeholders from the following categories: local government and elected officials; business owners, residents, and occupants; local civic, community, environmental and religious Page 29 Public Participation Plan July 2025 Buchanan WWTP Rev. May 2026 organizations; local news media; administrator/operator of any school or day care that live, work and/or represent a neighborhood or community within 500 feet of the project area. The applicant will utilize this contact list to communicate and disseminate information about the proposed project/action and permit application review process to the affected community and stakeholders. At minimum, this includes distribution of the written information and outreach materials described in Section V to inform the community about upcoming public meetings and opportunities for public participation. The contact list will be reviewed periodically and updated as appropriate throughout the permit application review process. The applicant will update the contact list with any new stakeholders identified during the public meeting or execution of other PPP components. In addition, individuals and organizations will be added to the contact list upon request. Such requests should be submitted to the project liaison identified in Section IV.

May 2026 Village Of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge Permit Increase Fact Sheet  Project: Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge Permit Increase  Applicant: Village of Buchanan  Facility: Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)  NYSDEC Application Number: 3-5522-00007/00002  A Public Participation Plan (PPP) has been developed in accordance with NYSDEC Commissioner Policy 29, Environmental Justice and Permitting (CP-29) What is the Proposed Project? The Proposed Project will increase the treatment capacity of the WWTP and allowable discharge of treated water into the Hudson River. To implement the proposed project, the Village of Buchanan has submitted an application for an increase in a SPDES Discharge Permit to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to increase the allowable discharge of treated water into the Hudson River. The purpose of this fact sheet is to inform the public about this proposed project and to involve the community during the NYSDEC permit application review process. Why does the Village of Buchanan need to increase a SPDES Discharge Permit? The Village of Buchanan is currently allowed to discharge up to 500,000 gallons per day of treated water from the Village WWTP into the Hudson River. With the recent approval of major development projects in the Village and the agreement to 100,000 gallons per day of treat wastewater from the Town of Cortlandt, the Village needs an increase in capacity at the Village WWTP. The Village is requesting to increase the allowable discharge of treated water into the Hudson River to 750,000 gallons per day. As part of the increase in allowable discharge, two treatment tanks at the WWTP will be reconstructed. The increase will allow for the approved projects and future development projects in the Village. How might the project affect the surrounding community? There are no significant direct adverse impacts to the residents of the Village from the project or temporarily from construction. There may be indirect impacts as a result from the project. How can I participate in the permit review process?  Attend the upcoming virtual public meeting scheduled for June 2, 2026 and July 7, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. to learn about the project, ask questions and/or express concerns about the project.  Ask questions, express concerns, provide input or submit by comments in writing, by phone or email to the project contact person identified below.

May 2026 APPENDIX E Existing Burden Report Page 48 May 22, 2026 Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant Village of Buchanan; Westchester County DEC ID: 3-5522-00007/00002 (P2S) The Village of Buchanan is located within Census Tract 36119014000 (population 2,140). Existing Burden Report NYS DEC is required to consider as part of the permitting process the existing burdens on a Disadvantaged Community (DAC) and whether the proposed action will cause a significant increase in the existing disproportionate pollution burden on a DAC. This report is prepared as part of the Village of Buchanan’s application to NYS DEC to increase the capacity of the Village’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The Village has recently committed to treating the wastewater from two large multi-family residential projects and wastewater from the Town of Cortlandt. Additionally, the Indian Point Energy Center is currently being decommissioned and that land will eventually become available for redevelopment. To enable these new projects, the Village’s WWTP needs the necessary capacity and discharge limits to process the additional wastewater. As part of correspondence from NYS DEC as part of a Notice of Incomplete Application dated 4/16/26, DEC has determined that the location of the sewage treatment plant (STP) is within half a mile of a DAC, and the project involves a modification to a facility with an applicable permit, therefore the Village must prepare an existing burden report (EBR). Based on the DEC’s Statewide Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) mapping, see below, the Village of Buchanan is identified as having comparatively lower burdens and vulnerabilities. Based on this designation having comparatively lower existing burdens or vulnerabilities there is a decreased likelihood that a proposed action may have a moderate or large impact on the DAC.

Relevant baseline data on existing burdens, including from relevant criteria used to designate the particular disadvantaged communities pursuant to subdivision one of section 75–0111 of the Environmental Conservation Law; Response: The Village has an Environmental Burden, see below, is higher than 94 % of the census tracts statewide. The Village maintains that this relates to two main factors: (1) inland flooding risks associated with the areas along Dickey Brook and Lake Meahagh; and, (2) the continued presence of the former Indian Point Energy Center which is being decommissioned and remediated. In addition, based on the most recent census data, the vacancy rate for housing units in the Village is only 3 percent compared to approximately 10 percent state-wide1. Further, it is noted that the Village is the home to a gypsum manufacturing plant which has a 24/7 operation that requires large trucks for delivery of product.

The environmental or public health stressors already borne by the disadvantaged community as a result of existing conditions located in or affecting the disadvantaged community; Response: It is noted that given that the Village already has a WWTP, the Environmental Burden for wastewater discharge is only 3 percent higher than all of the census tracts in the state. As noted above, inland flooding as well as Village’s location adjacent to the Hudson River contribute to the existing environmental burden. Further, remediation of the former Indian Point Energy Center is a long term process, although it is noted that the Village is in the process of considering a new zoning designation that would allow for mixed-use residential development. 3. The potential or projected contribution of the proposed action to existing pollution burdens in the disadvantaged community; Response: The proposed action is for the increase in the allowable discharge from the Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant from 0.50 MGD to 0.75 MGD. The proposed increase in allowable discharge would allow the WWTP to process more wastewater from the Village and neighboring communities. The Village has recently committed to treating the wastewater from two large multi-family residential projects and wastewater from the Town of Cortlandt. Additionally, as the Indian Point Energy Center decommissions, land will become available for redevelopment. To enable these new projects, the Village’s WWTP needs the necessary capacity and discharge limits to process the additional wastewater. 4. Existing and potential benefits of the project to the community, including increased housing supply, or alleviation of existing pollution burdens that may be provided by the project, including operational changes to the project that would reduce the pollution burden on the disadvantaged community; and Response: The proposed improvements to the Village’s WWTP relates to its commitment to treating the wastewater from two large multi-family residential projects and wastewater from the Town of Cortlandt. The Village is currently in the process of creating new zoning for the properties located on the west side of Broadway. As currently proposed, that zoning amendment could yield approximately 1,300 new multi-family residential units with associated retail uses. The closing of the former Indian Point Energy Center has created a significant fiscal strain to not only the Village of Buchanan but also the local school district as tax revenue from that site has all but disappeared. Discharge is subject to NYS DEC mandated State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Page 4 of 4 Page 52 TOWN OF CORTLANDT DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL SERVICES Michael Preziosi, P.E.

Monday August 31, 2026 (via email) Mr. Marcus Serrano Town Administrator Municipal Building 236 Tate Avenue Buchanan, NY 10511 RE: Public Participation Plan – Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant Greentown Road, Buchanan NY NYSDEC Application Number 3-5522-00007/00002 The Town of Cortlandt has been provided a revised NYSDEC Public Participation Plan (PPP), June 30, 2026 for the proposed improvements at the Village of Buchanan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Department of Technical Services is providing response and offers the following comments. 1. The PPP does not reference the Intermunicipal Agreement signed between the Town of Cortlandt and Village of Buchanan on May 2, 2023 allowing the Town to utilize the Buchanan wastewater treatment facility. The agreement earmarked current capacity including additional capacity if the plant were to be upgraded. 2. The Proposed Project / Action implies the increase in allowable discharge from 0.50 MGD to 0.75 MGD will enable the treatment of Cortlandt projects by providing the necessary capacity. Furrther, the section identifying the Village’s Need concludes by stating “The increase will allow for the approved projects and future development projects in the Village”. These statements seem to imply future flow from Cortlandt will only be accommodated after plant upgrades and an increase to the SPDES permit. The PPP should definitively state current and future capacity for the Town of Cortlandt. 3. The Plan does not identify the current average daily discharge of the facility. 4. The fact sheet should identify 20% or 100,000 gallons of existing capacity is reserved for the Town of Cortlandt with an additional 25% of expanded capacity earmarked for the Town. Dept. of Technical Services 1 Page 53 5. The PPP identifies two large multi-family residential projects proposed in the Village but does detail their potential impact to existing and proposed reserved capacity for the Town of Cortlandt. 6. The Stakeholder’s Contact List shall also include the Town Clerk of the Town of Cortlandt, Ms. Laroue Shatzkin, in addition to the general inbox of the Cortlandt Town Supervisor. Official notices are recorded through the Office of the Town Clerk. 7. The May 2026 response to DEC related to the existing burden report implies excess capacity is required for contemplated re-zoning which may net the Village 1,300 new multi-family residential units with associated retail uses. (https://buchananny.gov/WWTP/Existing-Burden- Report-2026-05-22.pdf). a. What estimated daily effluent demand was utilized? In accordance with the NYSDEC Design Manual, 1,300 residential units could result in estimated daily effluent levels as high as 286,000 gallons per day (assuming many units are 2-bedrooms), not counting retail. In summary the Plan should be revised to reflect the intermunicipal agreement and verify capacity has been reserved for the Town of Cortlandt. The Town of Cortlandt is supportive of the Village’s effort to upgrade and expand capacity of the plant, to allow for future planned growth in both communities and thanks the Village regarding this commitment.

As background, this offer arises from ongoing discussions and correspondence with the Town regarding the Property. On or about April 30, 2026, the Town's Code Enforcement Division issued a Memorandum of Violation — Order to Remedy (Complaint # CODE-26-120) concerning conditions observed at the Property. Since that time, Roa Hook Group LLC has made good-faith efforts to cooperate with the Town and bring the Property into compliance. Among other steps, we retained a licensed electrician who completed all electrical repairs, obtained the necessary permits, and passed inspection. We have also corresponded repeatedly with the Town — by letters dated May 6, 2026, May 28, 2026, July 6, 2026, and September 1, 2026 — requesting a structural inspection by the Town's Engineering Department so that the full scope of any remaining remedial work can be identified and addressed. To date, no structural inspection has been conducted, and our requests for one have gone largely unanswered and ignored. Given these circumstances, and upon the recommendation of our accountant, Roa Hook Group LLC respectfully offers to sell the Property to the Town of Cortlandt for a nominal sales price of $1.00. The terms are “as is” with all current conditions and structures accepted by the town. We believe this offer represents a cooperative and constructive resolution that would serve the interests of both the owner and the community. The Town would acquire the Property and be in a position to determine its best use going forward, while Roa Hook Group LLC would be Page 55 87 Roa Hook Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567 September 10, 2026 relieved of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the violation and the absence of a clear path to remediation, as well as an absence of a productive use of the property. Enclosed for your reference is a copy of my letter to George Oros dated September 1, 2026, together with its enclosures, which provides additional detail regarding the history of our communications with the Town on this matter. This offer is made in good faith and is subject to the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable purchase and sale agreement. We are prepared to work with the Town Attorney and any other appropriate Town officials to facilitate a prompt and orderly transfer. I reserve the right to withdraw this offer at any time, as well as to pursue any other paths of sale, rental, etc. Property being offered: 87 Roa Hook Rd., Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567; Section/Block/Lot: 22.20-3-1 Albany Post Rd., Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567; Section/Block/Lot: 22.20-3-2 I respectfully request that this letter be placed before the Town Board for its consideration at the earliest opportunity. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 212-571-1227 or David@DavidAKaminsky.com to discuss this offer or to coordinate next steps. yiyee “David CF Managing Member Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
