Letter of Intent for Webster Solar Garden LLC: 6.63 MW Solar Project, Inclusive Community Solar Project, hosted by Xerox- Sketch Plan Review with Town Planning Board
Dear Mr. Artuso and Members of the Town Planning Board, TM Montante Solar Developments LLC (“Montante Solar”) is proposing the development, construction, and operation of a 6.63 MW solar generation facility, Webster Solar Garden LLC (the “Project”) at Caracas Drive in the Town of Webster (the “Site”). The Project involves the development, construction, and operation of an approximate 20-acre project site on a parcel owned by Xerox Corporation, SBL: 065.02-1-40.11 and requires the issuance of Industrial Use and Special Use Permits through the Town Board. Project Details:
Webster Solar Garden LLC
Developer:
Montante Solar
Developer Address:
2760 Kenmore Avenue, Tonawanda, New York 14150
Project Location:
065.02-1-40.11, Town of Webster, New York
Property Owner:
Xerox Corporation
Zoning District:
Industrial
Project Narrative The Applicant is proposing a 6.63 MW Solar Generation Facility across approximately 20-acres of a +120-acre parcel owned by Xerox Corporation. The Project will directly benefit Xerox Corporation and the larger community through an Inclusive Community Solar Project. Xerox Corporation will be hosting the solar array at its campus and will be utilizing 60% of the power produced by the solar project through a Power Purchase Agreement. The project will also allocate 40% of the energy to go to the eligible subscribers in the community through a Community Solar Program. (“Eligible subscribers” are those in the Low-to-Medium income or those in a disadvantaged community.) In addition to providing Xerox and the community with reliable, safe, renewable power at a reduced rate, the project will also help meet Corporate Xerox Environmental Social Governance (“ESG”) goals.
The Project site will be located near the dead-end north of Caracass Drive on the Xerox Campus. The project is surrounded by other industrial land owned by Xerox and Tessy. The next neighboring parcel property lines are +250 feet from the edge of the nearest solar panel. The closest dwelling is +750 feet from the edge of the nearest solar panel. There are no site lines by any residential neighbors into the Project Site, as there are natural vegetative buffers and wetlands that surround it. The Project as currently designed complies with all Town code requirements. The Project is being constructed on vacant land that is home to two (2) capped landfills, small building used as a warehouse/extra storage, and numerous long-term environmental monitoring wells. Existing vegetation is dominated by woody stem brush & trees. The natural topography allows for extremely minimal site work. The project will be constructed utilizing an above-ground ballasted racking system. The racking system is “geo-ballasted,” utilizing rock to weight baskets down-allowing for zero penetrations to the ground. Sitting atop racking will be approximately 10,872 solar panels. Solar panels will be strung and connected to 18 inverters. Construction of this project will take approximately 12 months to complete. A data sheet of the geo-ballasted system can be found attached as Exhibit E. Xerox has identified this solar project occupying this space for 25 years as being the highest and best use for this land based on the environmental restrictions and on-going environmental monitoring requirements. Conclusion On behalf of the Montante Solar, we respectfully request the Town Board refer this project to Planning Board for public Sketch Plan Review. To support our application, please find the enclosed documentation: Exhibit A: Civil Plans Set for Sketch Plan Review (10 Copies) Exhibit B: Short EAF (10 Copies) Exhibit C: Decommissioning Plan (10 Copies) Exhibit D: Operations & Maintenance Plan (10 Copies) Exhibit E: Major Equipment Data Sheets (10 Copies) Exhibit F: Negative Declaration Wetlands: DEC & USACE (10 Copies) Exhibit G: Landowner’s Affidavit (1 Copy) Exhibit H: Tax Incentive Disclosure Form (1 Copy) Exhibit I: Non-Collusion Form (1 Copy) A check enclosed, made out to Town of Webster covers the application fees, totaling $270: Planning Board Sketch Plan Review: $220 & EAF Review: $50 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours,
Katie Soscia, Director of Project Development

1. Introduction
Webster Solar Garden LLC proposes to build a photovoltaic (PV) solar facility in the Town of Webster under New York State’s distributed generation remote net crediting program. The Solar Facility is planned to have a nameplate capacity of approximately 5.0 megawatts (MW) alternating current (AC) and be built on approximately 19 acres, (of a larger 128-acre parcel), of private land owned by Xerox Corporation (the “Site”). This Decommissioning Plan (“Plan”) provides an overview of activities that will occur during the decommissioning phase of a Solar Facility, including activities related to the restoration of land, the management of materials and waste, projected costs, and a decommissioning fund agreement overview. The Solar Facility will have a maturity date of twenty-five (25) years, with the possibility of two five (5) year extensions, (“Project Maturity Date”). The Solar Facility has an estimated useful lifetime of 35 years. This Plan assumes that a Solar Facility will be dismantled and the Site restored to a state similar to its preconstruction condition at the Project Maturity Date. The Plan also covers the case of the abandonment of a Solar Facility, for any reason, prior to the Project Maturity Date. Decommissioning of the Solar Facility will include the disconnection of the Solar Facility from the electrical grid and the removal of all Solar Facility components, including: • Photovoltaic (PV) modules, panel racking and supports • Inverter units, medium voltage equipment, and other electrical equipment related to the Project • Conduit, wiring cables, communications equipment, Project-owned utility poles • Concrete foundations This decommissioning plan is based on current best management practices and procedures and may be subject to revision based on new standards and emergent best management practices at the time of decommissioning. Permits will be obtained as required and notification will be given to stakeholders prior to decommissioning.

3. General Decommissioning and Notification Process Prior to decommissioning, a Change in Use Notification will need to be filed with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), as this site has ongoing monitoring and oversight by the Department. Any considerations, means and/or methods recommended by NYSDEC at the time of decommissioning will be incorporated into the Decommissioning Plan. After the Change in Use Notification is reviewed and accepted by NYSDEC, all necessary permits for the dismantling of the System will be procured including building permits through the Town of Webster. At the time of decommissioning the installed components will be removed, reused, disposed of, and recycled, where possible. The Facility Site will be restored to a state similar to its pre-construction condition. All removal of equipment will be done in accordance with any applicable regulations and manufacturer recommendations.

3.1 Equipment Dismantling and Removal- Order of Operations: Generally, the decommissioning of a Solar Facility proceeds in the reverse order of the installation: 1. The Solar Facility shall be disconnected from the utility power grid. 2. PV modules shall be disconnected, collected, and disposed of at an approved solar module recycler or reused, where possible. 3. All aboveground and underground electrical interconnection and distribution cables shall be removed and disposed of off-site by an approved facility. 4. Galvanized steel PV module support and racking system support posts shall be removed and recycled by an approved facility. 5. Electrical and electronic devices, including transformers and inverters shall be removed and disposed of off-site by an approved facility. 6. Concrete foundations shall be broken up, removed and disposed of off-site. 7. Fencing is a requirement of the NYSDEC Site Closure Plan for this landfill cap located on this parcel. Array fencing will either remain intact, or be dismantled and disposed of. Should it be dismantled, in its place new fencing shall be installed directly around the capped landfill and per required by NYSDEC. 3.2 Environmental Effects Decommissioning activities, particularly the removal of project components could result in environmental effects like those of the construction phase. For example, there is the potential for disturbance (erosion/sedimentation/fuel spills) to adjacent watercourses or significant natural features. Mitigation measures like those employed during the construction phase of the Solar Facility will be implemented, with a SWPPP or Sediment and Erosion Control Plan submitted to the Town Engineer for review and approval. Such mitigation measures will remain in place until the site is stabilized to ensure any potential erosion, silt/sediment runoff, or other impacts to the Facility Site, or the significant natural resources located adjacent. Due to the environmental legacy of this site, any exposed soils during System Decommissioning will be tested by an environmental monitor. Soils will remain on site, where possible, or spoils will be appropriately recorded, removed, and disposed of. Road traffic will temporarily increase due to the movement of decommissioning crews and equipment along with an increase in particle matter (dust) in adjacent areas during the decommissioning phase. Decommissioning activities may lead to temporary elevated noise levels from heavy machinery and an increase in trips to 4
the project location. Work will be undertaken during daylight hours and conform to any applicable noise and work restrictions. 3.3 Site Restoration Through the decommissioning phase, the Facility Site will be restored to a state similar to its pre-construction condition. All project components (see Table 1) will be removed. Rehabilitated lands may be seeded with a low-growing species such as clover to help stabilize soil conditions, enhance soil structure, and increase soil fertility.

Means of Managing Excess Materials and Waste
PV panels
If there is no possibility for reuse, the panels will be transported off-site to be sent back to the manufacturer, recycled, reused, or safely disposed offsite in accordance with current standards and best practices. These materials will be recycled off-site at an approved facility; most metals have salvage value The small amount of oil from the transformers will be removed on-site to reduce the potential for spills and will be transported to an approved facility for disposal. The substation transformer and step-up transformers in the inverter units will be transported off-site to be sent back to the manufacturer, recycled, reused, or safely disposed off-site in accordance with current standards and best practices. The metal components of the inverters, fans and fixtures will be disposed of or recycled, where possible. Remaining components will be disposed of in accordance with the standards of the day. The material will be removed from the project location by truck to a location where the aggregate can be processed for salvage. It will then be reused as fill for construction. It is not expected that any such material will be contaminated, however all gravel sampling will occur prior to removal to ensure. Should contamination be found, gravel will be removed and disposed of offsite at an approved facility. Concrete foundations will be broken down and transported by certified and licensed contractors to a recycling or approved disposal facility. It will then be reused as fill for construction. The electrical line that connects the substation to the point of common coupling will be disconnected and

Debris
disposed of at an approved facility. Support poles, if made of untreated wood, will be chipped for reuse. Associated electronic equipment (isolation switches, fuses, metering) will be transported off-site to be sent back to the manufacturer, recycled, reused, or safely disposed off-site in accordance with current standards and best practices. Any remaining debris on the site will be separated into recyclables/residual wastes and will be transported from the site and managed as appropriate.
3.4 Managing Materials and Waste During the decommissioning phase a variety of excess materials and waste (listed in Table 1) will be generated. Most of the materials used in a Solar Facility are reusable or recyclable. Any remaining materials will be removed and disposed of off-site at an appropriate facility. Contractor will prioritizing local manufacturers, subcontractors, waste firms, and recycling facilities to segregate material to be disposed of, recycled, or reused. Webster Solar Garden LLC will be responsible for the logistics of collecting and recycling the PV modules and minimizing the potential for modules to be discarded in municipal waste stream. Due to a recent increase in the use of solar energy technology, many panels from a variety of projects will be nearing the end of their lifespan. It is anticipated there will be more recycling options available for solar modules at that time. Disposing of the solar modules will be done using best management practices at the time of decommissioning.

Following construction of the solar facility, disturbed grounds will be reestablished with low growth / low maintenance ground cover. The vegetative maintenance contractor will be responsible for inspecting and maintaining the vegetative integrity of the solar facility. The contractor will conduct on-site activities during the growing months at the frequency of approximately 2-3 times per year but a minimum of 2 times per year. The contractor is expected to adjust site maintenance frequency based on time of year and weather conditions. To
avoid rutting, erosion, soil compaction and damage to pollinator and/or perennial plant species, weather forecasts will be consulted and on-site field inspections will be conducted prior to mowing or cutting to ensure that these practices occur when the site is able to withstand this type of activity. Mowing: Mowing is a three-step process. First, the mower or bush hog trims the large areas. Second, trimmers are used to cut around structural elements and other places the mower couldn’t reach. Finally, any vegetation that was thrown and stuck to the modules will be cleaned off. Site Inspection: During each maintenance visit, the site will be inspected for signs of erosion. Any areas of concern will be immediately communicated to the project owner/developer to evaluate and implement corrective measures. Should the contractor observe a non-typical condition or change in site conditions the project owner/developer will be immediately notified. Access Road Maintenance: During maintenance activities, the access road will be inspected and maintained to ensure that vegetative creep does not occur. This will include the mowing of at least a 3-foot strip paralleling each side of the road. Additionally, any observed vegetative creep within the road will be removed. Corrective Maintenance Corrective Maintenance will be triggered initiated upon detection of a failure or degradation through monitoring or inspection. Response Time: Emergency: Critical Failures (<50% System Down): Non-Critical Failures (>50% System Down)
Immediate <48 Hours <96 Hours
All issues, repairs, and replacements documented in Maintenance Reports. Perimeter Maintenance In compliance with NYSDEC, the perimeter fence will need to be kept in-tact and in good condition throughout the lifetime of the solar system. The perimeter fence will be inspected to ensure safety & compliance.
4. Emergency Management Prior to the commissioning of the solar site, Webster Solar Garden LLC will meet with the Fire Department and other local agencies to review emergency procedures. Any maintenance and emergency repair shall be performed by a qualified and licensed electrical contractor. Remote Site Monitoring: • The site will be monitored 24/7 using a remote DAS system o RG&E (Local Utility) has access to the system and is able to take the system offline immediately in case of an emergency o A local site contractor will be dispatched immediately in case of an emergency o In the case of an emergency threatening safety or loss of property, local emergency services will also be contacted Emergency Contractor Contact: Montante Solar Steven Erck, Vice President Cell: 716-609-0011 Email: serck@montante.com Webster Fire Department: FOR EMERGENCY DIAL 911 Distance from Site: Non-Emergency Phone: Address:

The galvanized steel wire box is delivered to the site over 70% pre-assembled. Simply unfold the box, install the spiral wires and connect the anchor tubes. The Geoballast foundation is then fully assembled and can be moved to the proper position in the row and filled with quarry rock. It’s easy to assemble, stage, and stringline.
The Geoballast Foundation was developed after years of installing ballasted solar projects. Concrete, whether pre-cast or pour in place, proved to be an expensive and time-consuming method. Our innovative engineering and R&D teams developed a revolutionary process for ballasted projects. The goal was to remove all concrete and take the idea of a standard gabion basket and engineer it to excel as a ballast solution. Our highly engineered Geoballast box has the fastest installation time available, and is one of the most cost effective products on the market.
In business since 2008, APA offers a versatile line of racking and foundation solutions for projects in even the most challenging environments. With projects nationwide, APA is a trusted racking partner.

RE:
Wetlands KLA, KLB, and KLC Xerox Property Tax ID 065.02-1-40.111
This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding the applicability of Article 24 (Freshwater Wetland Act) regulations to the parcel of land in question. An investigation was conducted and, based on this determination, the Department of Environmental Conservation finds that the statements checked below apply to the subject property:
☐
A regulated Freshwater Wetland is located on or within 100 feet of this property, and regulated activities in the wetland or within the 100-foot adjacent area are subject to permit requirements.
☒
No regulated Freshwater Wetland is currently mapped on or within 100 feet of this property. Therefore, no New York Environmental Conservation Law Article 24 Freshwater Wetland permit is required at this time.
☐
The project, as described, is within 100 feet of a regulated wetland, and a wetland permit will be required prior to the commencement of the proposed project. Information about Freshwater Wetlands and regulated activities can be found on the Department’s Freshwater Wetlands web page: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4937.html
☐
The property contains a regulated wetland and/or is within 100 feet of a wetland boundary, but the described project is located outside the regulated area and will not require a wetland permit.
☐
Please contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Buffalo office) at 716-879-4330 regarding any federally protected wetlands in the vicinity. http://www.lrb.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory.aspx
☐
The boundary of the regulated wetland located on this property has been precisely delineated as follows:
This determination is to confirm the Wetland delineation submitted by Kim Lodge and James Pippin of Haley & Aldrich. The Lodge & Pippen study identifies 3 wetlands all within three wetlands (KLA, KLB, and KLC). BEH staff has completed a “desktop’ evaluation of the proposed project area and determined that all three wetlands are within 50M of each other. The total acreage of the three delineated wetlands is 4.1ac. The wetland outside of the study area does not appear to be greater that 3ac for a total wetland acreage of approximately 7±ac. The parcel Jurisdiction Determination for parcel - 065.02-1-40.111 indicate that there are regulated wetlands of unusual importance (Urban are) on the parcel. Regional staff has determined that the wetlands within the study/ project area are not within an urban area and all wetlands combined are less than 12.4 acers. As the wetland are not 12.4ac in size and do not meet the unusual importance criteria it has been determine that the Department does not have Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Jurisdiction of the wetlands identified as KLA, KLB, and KLC. This determination is valid for a period of 5 years (Through August 5, 2030).

TITLE:
Biologist 2, R8 Manger BEH
Department wetland field delineations remain in effect for a period of five years, after which they are subject to revision at the Department’s discretion, due to changing site conditions. Measurements of the 100-foot adjacent area are done horizontally upland from the wetland boundary, not along the ground surface. Identification of the adjacent-area boundary, if done, is the responsibility of the landowner or project sponsor.

TM Montante Solar Development, LLC Katie Soscia 2760 Kenmore Ave Tonawanda, NY 14150 Dear Ms. Soscia: This pertains to your application for a Department of the Army permit to discharge fill material (3 ft. x.2 ft. x 2 ft. tall, geoballasts) into 0.03 acre of federally regulated wetlands and 0.01acre of federally regulated ditches for the construction of a solar PV system on a 20 acre parcel located at 139 Caracas Drive in the Town of Webster, Monroe County New York. See Sheets 1-5 of 5 attached. I have evaluated the impacts associated with your proposal, and have concluded that they are authorized by the enclosed Nationwide Permit (NWP) provided that the attached conditions are satisfied. Verification of the applicability of this NWP is valid until March 14, 2026 unless the NWP is modified, suspended, revoked, or the activity complies with any subsequent permit modification. Please note in accordance with 33 CFR part 330.6(b), that if you commence or are under contract to commence an activity in reliance of the permit prior to the date this NWP expires, is suspended or revoked, or is modified such that the activity no longer complies with the terms and conditions, you have twelve months from the date of permit modification, expiration, or revocation to complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of the permit, unless the permit has been subject to the provisions of discretionary authority. It is your responsibility to remain informed of changes to the NWP program. A public notice announcing any changes will be issued when they occur and will be available for viewing at our website: http://www.lrb.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory.aspx. Finally, note that if your activity is not undertaken within the defined period or the project specifications have changed, you must immediately notify this office to determine the need for further approval or reverification. Your initiation of work as authorized by the enclosed NWP acknowledges your acceptance of the general and special conditions contained therein. This affirmation is limited to the

Specifically, you may need to obtain Article 15 (Protection of Water), Article 24 (Freshwater Wetland), and/or Article 34 (Coastal Erosion Management) authorization from the New York State DEC. I have evaluated your submitted aquatic resource delineation map and have determined that the aquatic resource boundaries shown on the map accurately represent on-site conditions. Please note that this is a preliminary JD. Preliminary JDs are non-binding written indications that there may be waters of the United States (WOUS) on your parcel and approximate locations of those waters. Preliminary JDs are advisory in nature and may not be appealed. Pursuant to Regulatory Guidance Letter 16-01, any permit application made in reliance on this preliminary JD will be evaluated as though all aquatic resources on the site are regulated by the Corps. Further, all aquatic resources will be used for purposes of assessing the extent of project related impacts and compensatory mitigation. If you require a definitive response regarding Department of the Army jurisdiction for any or all of the aquatic resources identified on the submitted drawings, you may request an approved JD from this office. If an approved JD is requested, please be aware that this is often a lengthy process and we may require the submittal of additional information. I have enclosed the preliminary JD Form with this letter. The form and attached table identify the extent of aquatic resources on the site and specific terms and conditions of the preliminary JD. Please sign and return a copy of this form to my attention so that I may complete my evaluation of your file. If you do not respond within 15 days, I will presume concurrence and no additional follow-up is necessary prior to finalizing this action. In accordance with Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-02, “Preliminary jurisdictional determinations are not definitive determinations of areas within regulatory jurisdiction and do not have expirations dates.” However, I strongly recommend that the boundaries of all aquatic resources on the parcel be re-evaluated by a qualified wetland biologist after five years of the date of this letter. This will ensure that any changes are appropriately identified and you do not inadvertently incur a violation of Federal law while constructing your project or working on your project site. Lastly, the delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and extent of the aquatic resource boundaries and/or the jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes of the Clean Water Act for the particular site identified in this request. This delineation and/or jurisdictional determination may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation Provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should discuss the applicability of a certified wetland determination with the local USDA service center, prior to starting work.

Appendix 2 - PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (PJD) FORM 30-JUN-2024 the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate. 2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD or no JD whatsoever, which do not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the USACE has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD or reliance on no JD whatsoever; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of USACE permit authorization based on a PJD or no JD whatsoever constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the.JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the USACE will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there “may be” waters of the U.S. and/or that there “may be” navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply) Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources below where indicated for all checked items: _x__ Maps, plans, plots or plat submitted by or on behalf of the PJD requestor: Map: Wetland Delineation Map included with Wetland Delineation Report, Haley & Aldrich, Nov. 6, 2024 (WDR). _x__ Data sheets prepared/submitted by or on behalf of the PJD requestor. _x__ Office concurs with data sheets/delineation report. ___ Office does not concur with data sheets/delineation report.
