2015 Annual Restoration Plan Compliance Report


Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Permit #4-0101-00171/00011
December 1, 2015
I. Introduction
The Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan (restoration
plan) has been created pursuant to NYSDEC, USACE, and USFWS permit requirements associated
with the expansion of the City of Albany Rapp Road Landfill. The NYSDEC Permit #4-010100171/00011 requires that the City prepare an Annual Restoration Plan Compliance Report to be
submitted to the NYSCEC by December 1 of each project year.
The purpose of the compliance report is to:
Describe the work accomplished during the year according to the annual work plan and work
schedule prepared and submitted at the beginning of each project year (refer to the 2015 Work
Plan, Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
dated May 8, 2015. [A draft of the 2015 Work Plan was submitted electronically on January 19,
2015, followed by IHMT review and meeting on March 10, 2015 at the APBP Discovery
Center. The revised plan dated May 8, 2015 was submitted as hard copies on May 15, 2015 and
approved by DEC). A Temporary Revocable Permit was issued by the Albany Pine Bush
Preserve Commission via email dated June 15, 2015 and expiring June 30, 2016. See the Phase
III Work Plan Context Map and Work Schedule in Attachments A and B of this compliance
report.]
Describe deviations from the annual work plan, including the cause, outcomes, and implications
of such deviations.
Summarize and supplement the weekly onsite activity reports submitted to the Interagency
Habitat Management Team.
From late 2012 through 2013, restoration enhancement activities in Phase III of the project have largely
completed the major upland tree and shrub canopy clearing and thinning and the forested wetland
understory clearing of invasive shrubs, required to create the desired open understory settings of the
Pitch Pine Scrub Oak Barrens (PPSOB) community in those formerly closed canopy settings on either
side of the Phase II wetland and stream restoration. During 2014, final enhancement seeding was
conducted in Phase III, in addition to undertaking wetland enhancement work in Phase II locations,
conducting ongoing maintenance of the onsite native nursery and offsite collections of native seed, sitewide invasive species management, and ecological monitoring of the site hydrology, vegetation, fauna,
test plots, and wetlands. With this restoration and enhancement work completed, a significant habitat
link has been effectively made between the Preserve properties on either side of the project. This link
will be further expanded with the completion and restoration of the PPSOB community on the closed
landfill cap, in future phases of the project.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

Key restoration elements of the 2015 Work Plan included tasks to 1) continue maintenance activities in
PIII and PII areas, including control of invasive woody and herbaceous species, 2) complete limited
wetland and stream enhancement actions to improve hydrological conditions in selected locations, 3)
continue maintenance and operations in the onsite native nursery, 4) monitor and maintain the test
plots, 5) ; and maintenance and monitoring in the constructed streams, wetlands, and uplands.
As previously reported in the 2014 Compliance report, approximately 50-75% of the sand needs for
capping and restoring the landfill have been acquired and stockpiled on the site, depending on actual
sand depth requirements. This is sufficient to cover the GAL portion of the landfill. Future sand
needs will be determined based on outcomes of the test plot study that is looking at appropriate sand
depth requirements for supporting Pitch Pine Scrub Oak barrens vegetation.
Other documents useful for viewing the compliance report within the context of the larger restoration
program include:

2015 Context Map (Phase III Enhancement Seeding) and Work Plan Schedule
Attachment A. 2015 Context Mapwith completion of the PIII enhancement activities at the
close of 2014, work in 2015 largely focused on maintenance activities in PIII and PII areas,
including control of invasive woody and herbaceous species. Limited wetland and stream
enhancement actions were planned to improve hydrological conditions in selected locations. Other
maintenance and vegetation and faunal monitoring activities continued to take place in all restored
areas of the site, including maintenance and operations in the onsite native nursery; maintenance
and monitoring in the test plots; and maintenance and monitoring in the constructed streams,
wetlands, and uplands. These areas are depicted in Context Map immediately following this
section.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

Attachment C. Nursery Operations & Maintenance


Compliance Report
Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
The onsite plant nursery was constructed and planted in mid-2011 to provide a source of locally
scarce native seed for the restoration project, particularly for those Albany Pine Bush species that
serve as important nectar and food plants for the Karner
Blue butterfly. By 2015, eleven beds are growing and
producing seed for 15 perennial forb species. Established
nursery beds range in size from a small 0.007 acre bed of
arrow-leaf violet (Viola sagittata) to larger beds of wild
lupine (Lupinus perennis) and butterfly milkweed (Asclepias
tuberosa) (adjacent top photo), both 0.6 acres or more in
size. Many of the nursery production beds have reached
their third full season of growth, while others have
required remedial seeding (see Attachment C-1 nursery
bed layout and composition).
In order to supplement bed production, most of the beds
received additional enhancement seeding, planted
manually within rows. This enhancement seeding
occurred in the beds of lupine, butterfly milkweed, stiff
aster (Symphyotrichum linearifolium), goats rue (Tephrosia
virginiana), spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium),
frostweed (Helianthemum canadense), and New Jersey Tea
(Ceanothus americanus). Enhancement seeding occurred in
May, and substantial germination was evident by June,
particularly in the lupine and milkweed beds, which now
offer much higher bed densities (see adjacent butterfly
milkweed bed in flower, bottom photo).
Seed production of lupine, butterfly milkweed, blunt milkweed (Asclepias amplexicaulis), goats rue,
and gray goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis) all increased in comparison with previous years. Production
of the remaining species held steady or declined somewhat, likely due to normal annual variation.
Browse damage continues to interfere in some cases with seed production, such as with the small
stiff aster bed, heavily browsed likely by rabbits or smaller rodents not deterred by the fence nor by
deer repellent placed seasonally along the nursery fence in spring and summer as a secondary
deterrent. The deer repellent was applied for the purpose of preventing damage to lupine, which
proved to be effective. The spreading dogbane bed flourished, though it also produced no seed, as
this species does not produce regularly each year. More than balancing out these shortfalls
however, the lupine beds grew twice the weight as that collected in 2014, while butterfly milkweed

S:090636:120115

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

produced 15 to 20 times as much seed as previously


collected. Exact numbers will be known once the final
cleaning and weighing is completed.
Another challenge in bed production has been the
growth of a common leaf spot fungus in the butterfly
milkweed bed, which first appeared in 2013 during an
extended period of cooler and wetter-than-normal, early
to mid-spring growing conditions. While the presence
and severity of such leaf spot diseases is typically variable
from year to year, the infestation has persisted into 2015
and has possibly also infected the spreading dogbane
(Apocynum androsaemifolium) bed. This year, a foliar
fungicide treatment regime was initiated to address this
issue. Beginning in June at the onset of symptoms, and
continuing weekly through mid-summer, the fungicide
treatments held the leaf spot in check and allowed the
milkweed to flower and fruit normally, leading to a
subsequently large harvest. The leaf spot reemerged in
the fall after treatments were suspended, and it is
expected that this regime will have to continue in future
years to ensure adequate harvests. However, burning of
overwintering inoculum and detritus in a prescribed fire
may mitigate the effects of the leaf spot and reduce the
level of effort necessary to control it.
Work Activity
Pre-emergent herbicide pendimethalin (trade name
LESCO PRE-M AquaCap; MSDS attached) applications
were conducted in April to prevent weed establishment,
though these were only possible in the Helianthus and
Monarda beds (adjacent top photo). Enhancement
seeding in the remaining beds prevented the use of preemergent herbicide in those locations. Spot-spraying of
post-emergent weeds using a glyphosate formulation
(trade name Cornerstone PLUS; MSDS attached)
occurred throughout the growing season. To further augment plant vigor and seed production, a
10-10-10 granular fertilizer was applied twice at a rate of 1 lb/1000 ft2 to all but the lupine beds.
A seasonal increase in lupine aphids (Macrosiphum albifrons) occurred across the Pine Bush in 2015,
including in the nursery (see adjacent lupine photo, second from top). Despite treatments with
safer soap, aphids proliferated and caused damage to flower and seed production. It is anticipated
that the aphid population will again reach seasonal highs in 2016, unless natural predators begin to
respond to control the population. Continued monitoring and treatment will otherwise be
necessary to mitigate damage.

S:090636:120115

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

The overseeding efforts conducted in 2013 were also successful. In the slow to perform New
Jersey tea (Ceanothus americanus) bed, newly established rough goldenrod plants flourished and were
heavy seed producers in 2014 (bottom photo on previous page). The nursery borders, which were
seeded with a simple erosion control mix in fall 2013, also showed abundant germination by little
bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), dotted horsemint (Monarda punctata), and poor-joe (Diodia teres).
Processing and cleaning of seed collections remains ongoing at the time of submittal of this
compliance report. Final clean, collected weights for nursery species in 2015, as with other off-site
seed collections, will be determined and reported at the end of the seed cleaning process by mid to
late December.
Deviations from Work Plan
There were no significant deviations from the work plan.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological Data:
Data from laboratory studies conducted on a similar, but not identical, formulation:
Oral: Rat LD50: >5,000 mg/kg
Dermal: Rat LD50: >5,000 mg/kg
Inhalation: Rat 4-hr LC50: >2.05 mg/l
Eye Irritation: Rabbit: Moderately irritating
Skin Irritation: Rabbit: Slightly irritating
Skin Sensitization: Not a contact sensitizer in guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure.
Subchronic (Target Organ) Effects: Repeated overexposure to glyphosate may decrease body weight
gains and effects to liver. The surfactant component of this product is reported to cause irritation to the
eyes and skin and may contribute to the irritation potential reported for this herbicide. Ingestion may
produce gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Carcinogenicity / Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged overexposure to glyphosate may cause effects to
the liver. There was no evidence of carcinogenicity in animal studies using glyphosate. EPA has given
glyphosate a Group E classification (evidence of non-carcinogenicity in humans).
Reproductive Toxicity: In laboratory animal studies with glyphosate, effects on reproduction have been
seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
Developmental Toxicity: In animal studies, glyphosate did not cause birth defects in animals; other
effects were seen in the fetus only at doses which caused toxic effects to the mother.
Genotoxicity: Glyphosate has produced no genetic changes in a variety of standard tests using animals
and animal or bacterial cells.
Assessment Carcinogenicity: None listed with ACGIH, IARC, NTP or OSHA.
See Section 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION for more information.

Environmental Fate:
In the environment, salts of glyphosate rapidly dissociate to glyphosate, which adsorbs strongly to soil
and is expected to be immobile in soil. Glyphosate is readily degraded by soil microbes to AMPA
(aminomethyl phosphonic acid) that is further degraded to carbon dioxide. Glyphosate and AMPA are
unlikely to enter ground water due to their strong adsorptive characteristics. Terrestrially-applied
glyphosate has the potential to move into surface waters through soil erosion because it may be
adsorbed to soil particles suspended in the runoff. Aquatic applications registered for certain formulations
may also result in glyphosate entering surface waters. Complete degradation is slow, but dissipation in
water is rapid because glyphosate is bound in sediments and has low biological availability to aquatic
organisms. These characteristics suggest a low potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms and
this has been verified by laboratory investigations of glyphosate bioconcentration in numerous marine
and freshwater organisms with and without soil. The maximum whole body bioconcentration factors for
fish were observed to be less than 1X. Bioconcentration factors for sediment dwelling mollusks and
crayfish tended to be slightly higher, but were always less than 10X. In addition, any residues
accumulated in organisms were rapidly eliminated.

Compliance Report

Albany Rapp Road Landfill


Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
Since the start of the restoration project in 2009, the Citys Ecological Consultant has annually hand
collected native seed as necessary to meet the needs of each construction phase of the project,
particularly when specified seed is not commercially available. By the start of the 2015 season, we
have collected more than 200 species and 2,000 lbs of seed for use on the restoration project.
Seed collecting activities are conducted on approved sites only, including the Albany Pine Bush
Preserve. Collections target only those native vascular plant species identified and known to grow in
and provide various functions in Albany Pine Bush habitats1, such as nectar and food plants for
Lepidoptera species and other pollinators, and species that enhance erosion control in sandy soils.
Collections also target those species with populations that are large enough to tolerate short-term
collection pressure. To ensure genetic fidelity, a 50-mile radius centered over the Albany Landfill
project site and within the range of the Albany Pine Bush landform was established to delimit seed
collection activities. Currently, a total of 51 approved seed source sites have been scouted, with
permits negotiated with land owners and managers as needed (see site listings in Table 1).

Introduction
This report documents compliance with the construction and fourth year monitoring results of the
test plot program according to the Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration &
Enhancement Plan (AES 2009) and subsequent annual work plans for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013,
2014, and 2015 (see Attachment 1 and Figures 01, 02, 03, and 04 for test plot plans and monitoring
methods).
Phase I of the restoration plan required the establishment of test plots of varying sand depths to
measure and evaluate minimum sand depth and sand quantity needs for restoring desirable open
native barrens grassland vegetation, the preferred Karner blue butterfly (KBB) habitat, on all current
and future closed landfill cap surfaces.
For this project, the study plots and plantings have been designed to test the following variables:
1. Substrate depthIn the interest of economizing and balancing sand importation needs and
costs with restoration outcomes, we are testing sand placement depths over a final approved
cap, with 12, 18 and 24 sandy substrate depths.
2. Substrate chemistryPine Bush sand prairie and savanna/barrens substrates have a very
unique chemistry that has been characterized in previous AES baseline conditions reports, and
for purposes of testing, a substrate matching the Pine Bush substrate chemistry and one not
matching the chemistry have been evaluated. Soil pH matching the Pine Bush community
ranges from pH 4.7 6.3.
3. Slope position and slope aspectWe have learned that varying slope position (upper, middle,
lower) and slope aspect (South, North, and level ridge top) require different seeding rates and
species mixes because of exposure, abrupt moisture gradients, and competition from other plant
species, including adventives (non-native species).
4. Plant species compositionIn this study we have introduced a standard seeding rate and mix
of the dominant grasses and key forbs of the Pitch Pine Scrub Oak Barrens community, and
have applied this mix across the entire test plot (including intervening subplot borders). The
seed mix includes key KBB nectar plantsAsclepias species, Ceanothus americana, Helianthemum
canadense, Lespedeza capitata, Monarda species, Tephrosia virginiana, and Vaccinium pallidumand the
KBB host plant Lupinus perennis, as found in the Pine Bush ecosystems that are targeted as the
final cover on the landfill.
5. Plant biomass sampling and root developmentAs measures of plant performance,
biomass sampling and root development measurements were conducted in 2013, 2014, and
2015. Because plantings at the time of sampling in 2012 were only two months old, it was not
desirable to conduct those measurements at that time. These measurements were completed to
determine the preferential soil depth needs of key plant species of the Albany Pine Bush
ecosystem when planted on the Albany Landfill.

Methods
Construction of the test plots occurred beginning in 2010 with placement of the first run of 24-inch
depth high pH sand. The remaining placement of low pH sand and cover crop seeding for winter
stabilization was conducted in late 2011. Treatment block layout and alpha-numeric coding was
based on a series of seven blocks arranged over varying depths of sand (12, 18, and 24) and sand
qualityhigh pH (B, indicating bad or unfavorable conditions for supporting the target native
community) versus low pH (G, indicating good or favorable conditions for supporting the
targeted Pine Bush ecosystem chemistry)with 12 blocks positioned on a north-facing aspect (N),
12 on a south-facing aspect (S), and four on the landfill ridge top (R) (see test plot layout in Figure
02 in Attachment 1).
Soil preparation and seeding of the native mix using a 5-foot-wide Truax no-till drill (supplied by
APBPC) was conducted from June 26 29, 2012 (see species mix in the table in Attachment 1). All
test plot sub-plots of varying sand depths were seeded at a uniform rate using native seed collected
and documented within a 50-mile radius of the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. Due to safety concerns
regarding operation of equipment on sloped settings, the drill was pulled up and down (parallel to)
the slopes in the steepest areas; otherwise, a perpendicular trajectory was desirable and employed
elsewhere to minimize erosion.
Plot dimensions were adjusted from the original plan following storm damage, resulting in a slightly
smaller size than the original approved plans (see Figure 01 in Attachment 1). Resulting rill erosion
features were repaired and an approved erosion control system of dispersing swales and straw
wattles, in addition to a berm at the base of the test plot toe of slope, was designed and installed
to stabilize sand on the test plots steep slopes (see Figure 03 in Attachment 1). This adjustment of
the test plot layout was determined to have no significant effect on the test plot program
experimental evaluation.
Final installation of woody plants, including trees and shrubs, occurred during 2014, following initial
native herbaceous establishment and weed control in years 1 and 2. A subplot was established in the
18 and 24 depth, low pH sand plots (see Figure 04 in Attachment 1) to limit woody plantings in
the test plot to those plots with likely suitable substrates.
Quadrat Sampling
Plant species composition, frequency, and cover were measured within 10, randomly placed meter
square circular quadrats within each of the 28 treatment blocks. Sampling occurred during the week
of August 3 7. Sampled data from each quadrat included an estimate of percent cover for each
species rooted witin each quadrat, and cover by other ground cover features including bare soil, fine
and coarse litter, rock, and Bryophytes (mosses). Details of test plot layout and sampling activity are
summarized and tabulated in Attachment 7.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

Species Search
As a measure of diversity, a listing of vascular plant species growing in the test plot was completed
by systematically walking through twelve defined sets of the subplots, grouped by slope aspect, soil
depth, and soil quality. Thus, one set included the three subplots on the south-facing slope with 12
sand depth and low pH, and the listing therefore was labeled TP-S12G. The resulting lists are
presented in Attachment 10. This methodology differs from the original Timed Meander Search
method, which is time-equated.
Data Summary and Statistical Analysis
Raw vegetation data from the quadrat sampling and species searches was entered into an Excel
spreadsheet and QA/QC checked for entry errors and confirmation of plant species identifications
for any specimens collected during the field sampling. Plant taxa were floristically analyzed using
several classification criteria (Attachment 8) and raw data tabulated and analyzed (Attachment 9),
using absolute and relative frequency (AF, RF; frequency measured as the number of times a species
was found in each of the 10 one-meter square quadrats in each treatment block), absolute and
relative cover (AF, RF; cover measured as the cumulative projected photosynthetic area of each
species of plant in each of the ten one meter square quadrats in each block), and importance values
(IV, the sum of RF and RC). The methods for statistical analysis are discussed in the results section.
Photo Documentation
Digital color photos were taken from a position at the west central boundary of each subplot, to
represent conditions within each treatment block at the time of monitoring (Attachment 11).
Biomass Sampling
In each subplot, 3 of the sampled quadrats (quadrats 3, 6, and 9) were evaluated for standing crop
biomass. All plant species rooted within the sample quadrats were clipped to within 2.54 cm of the
ground surface with hand clippers. Clipped native and nonnative plant species were bagged
separately in large paper bags. These were then removed to the AES field office where they were
immediatedly weighed and air-dried on ventilated drying racks to constant dry weight. A final weight
of the air-dried plant biomass was computed by subtracting the tare weight of the bags. These data
were entered into EXCEL and a basic summary statistical analysis was conducted to determine if
quadrat plant biomass varied accross slope position, substrate depth, substrate quality or slope
aspect conditions in the test plots.

Root Depth Documentation


Root development was evaluated by selecting one native grass with fibrous root structure little
bluestem (Androgopogon scoparius) and one native forb with a tap root structure round headed
bushclover (Lespedeza capitata), both of which were broadly establishied across the test plots. In each
test plot block, an individual of each species was dug completely to preserve its entire root system
and fanned-out on a white plastic sheet to approximate the original two-dimensional distribution in
the soil. Measurements were taken at the point of greatest width and depth of the plant roots to
calculate an approximate area, and composite samples were photographed. Measurements were
entered into EXCEL and statistical analysis was conducted to determine if plant root growth varied
across slope position, substrate depth, and substrate quality in the test plots.
Soil Sampling and Analysis
Soil samples were not collected from the test plots in 2015. In 2013, soil samples were collected
from the same quadrat hoops as the biomass samples within each subplot and combined to create a
composite sample from each subplot for analysis.
Plant Community Ordination Analysis
We examined relationships between plant species in each of the test plots, to understand how plant
community affinities have continued to develop by year four of the test plot vegetation
establishment. More specifically, whether or not certain species of plants are associating more
commonly with others and in certain locations on landfill, based on position, soil depth, and quality.

Results
Data Summary
Based on a summary analysis of vascular plant species recorded in the quadrats and during the
species searches in the 28 test plots in 2015 (see the summary analysis table at the bottom of the
species list in Attachment 8), species numbers in all categories of the summary analysis have once
again increased. Forty-seven vascular plant families were recorded in 2015. This is an increase of 14
families since 2013, with 10 of those occurring since 2014. Aster, grass, pea, and rose families
continue to be the largest families represented. A total of 179 species were identified in 2015, 109
(60.9%) of which are natives and 70 (39.1%) of which are adventive. This represents an increase of
34 species since 2013. Since 2014, the ratio of native to non-native species has remained nearly
constant (in 2014, 87 out of 143 (60.8%) were native species). Of the physiognomic groups, the
number of perennial forbs dominate and grasses continue to be important, although the number of
annual forbs and annual grasses increased in number this year, along with small increases in the
number of biennial forbs. The number of woody plants (trees, shrubs, and vines) has increased
from a total of 17 in 2013, and 25 in 2014, to 33 in 2015. The number of seeded and planted species

S:090636:120115

66

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

and nectar species also continue to increase, with 24 (77%) of the 31 native test plot species (both
herbaceous and woody) documented.
Analysis of Cover and Frequency of the Vegetation in the Test-Plots
In 2015, 97 species were found with measurable percent cover in the 28 test plots. A descriptive
analysis indicated that the plot (S24GL) located at the south lower slope with 24 inches depth of
good sandy soil had the highest mean vegetation cover of all the species. In contrast, two plots
(S24BM and S24BU) located at the south middle and upper slopes with 24 inches depth of bad
sandy soils resulted in the lowest cover (Fig. 1). On the other hand, the plot N12GU had the
highest number of individual plant species observations (Fig. 2). Across all the plots, vegetation
cover rather than species composition has a stronger response to the site conditions, as indicated by
large variability of the mean cover among the plots (Fig. 1&2). Among the 10 physiognomy groups
of the vegetation, in terms of cover and frequency of each vegetation type present in samples at each
plot, perennial grass was the dominant type across all the plots. By contrast, cover of perennial
forbs was not high and was inconsistent across the plots, but frequency was high and similar across
all test plots (Fig. 1-2).
A comparison of native and adventive species shows that frequency rather than cover of the
majority native species was higher than that of non-native species (Fig. 3-4). The actual number of
plant species in each plot varied, with less diversity present in the upper north slope test plot with 24
inches soil depth (Fig. 5).

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

In order to do statistical analysis of the data on how cover and frequency of the vegetation
responded to different site conditions, 26 plant species were analyzed based on 1) their presence in
2013, 2014, and 2015, 2) whether they had a sum of cover across all the plots greater than 5%, and
3) frequency of presence greater than 1. This analysis was focused on how the cover and frequency
of each species were affected by site conditions of position (seven levels of NL, NM, NU, RU, SL,
SM, and SU), soil depth (three levels of 12, 18 and 24 inches), and soil quality (two levels of B and
G) by using variance analysis procedure PROC GIM in SAS. Because of the unbalanced factorial
experiment design, we compared means of the cover and frequency with the least-square mean
(LSMEAN) method. In an initial analysis of the data, graphic diagnostics of the PROC GLM
procedure suggested that assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance associated with
variance analysis were violated, and the degree of violation varied by species. To accommodate this,
we transformed the data by logarithm function with a base of 10.
The variance analysis showed that cover rather than frequency of the species was affected more by
the three factors. Number of species having p-values less than 0.05 by factors of position, depth,
and quality were 22, 20, 10 for cover, and 9, 10, and 4 for frequency, respectively (Table 1). Cover
of five species was significantly affected by all the three factors. On the contrary, frequency
measures of none of the species were affected by the three factors. No factors had significant
effects on the frequency of Andropogon gerardii, Artemisia vulgaris, Equisetum arvense, Populus
deltoides, Rudbeckia hirta, and Solidago canadensis. But, at least one factor had an effect on the
cover of these dominant species. Only Centaurea maculosa grew independatly of all factors based
on on its cover and frequency.
Details about how each factor affected the cover and frequency of each species are presented in the
ANOVA, fit statistics, and model ANOVA outputs, in Attachments 2 and 3. Following these
output tables, five figures are presented for diagnosing how the analysis of variance assumptions
were met and evaluated for outliers.

Table 1 p-values of the type III SS by the three factors from cover and frequency variance analysis.
Red dots indicated significant effects of the factors on the cover and frequency with a significance
level of =0.05.
Post-hoc analysis with the Tukey-kramer method also revealed how the mean cover or frequency
differed using pairwise comparison analysis for each factor (e.g. NL vs. SU, 12 inches vs. 24 inches,
or B vs. G). For example, for one of the important seeded native legumes, Desmodium canadense, its
mean cover in the plot at the south lower slope (LSMEANSL=0.37) was significantly different from
its cover in a plot in the north lower slope (LSMEANNL=1.81, pNL vs. SL=0.0248, df1=7, and df2=265).
Among the three soil depths of 12, 18 and 24 inches, the cover of Desmodium canadense in plots with
12 inches of soil depth (LSMEAN12=0.331) significantly differed with plots with a soil depth of 18
inches (LSMEAN18=1.47, p12 vs. 18<0.0008, df1=3, and df2=265) and 24 inches (LSMEAN24=1.76, p12
vs. 24<0.0001, df1=3, and df2=265), but between 18 and 24 inches depths, cover was not significantly
different ( p18 vs. 24=0.7826, df1=3, and df2=265). Between the two levels of soil quality, percent cover
of Desmodium canadense was not significantly different, with cover in the good soil pH plot being
higher (LSMEANG=1.38) than the cover in the plot with lower pH site conditions
(LSMEANB=0.83, pG vs. B=0.1215, df1=2, and df2=265). The same post-hoc pairwise comparison of
the other dominant plant species showing how each of the three factors affected the cover and
frequency is tabulated in Attachments 2 and 3.

To evaluate the appropriateness of soil depths for the land restoration, we summarized p-values of
the pairwise comparison of cover and frequency by the three levels of depth only (Table 2). This
analysis indicated that the mean percent cover of 62% of the species was significantly different
between 12 and 18 inches, as well as between 12 and 24 inches of soil depths. But cover of only
27% of the species was significantly different between 18 and 24 inches of soil depths.
The frequency of the dominant species was less affected by soil depth compared to percent cover
(Table 2), about 15%, 35%, and 8% by depth pairs 12 vs. 18 inches, 12 vs. 24 inches, and 18 vs. 24
inches.

Table 2 p-values of post-hoc pairwise comparisons of mean cover and frequency by three levels of
depths. Red dots indicate significant difference of the paired-means for plant species percent cover
with a significance level of =0.05.
The mean cover and frequency of plant species were not only affected by site conditions, but also
differed by types of native and adventive species (Fig. 6-9). Even though percent cover in each soil
depth varied slightly by landscape position, the mean cover in 12 inch plots was the lowest among
the three soil depths, regardless of the slope or aspect position, for native species. But for adventive
species, the mean percent cover in the 12 inch plots in all seven positions was higher than in the18
inch plots (Fig. 7). The frequency of adventive species showed similar patterns (Fig. 9).

plots based on the quadrat data alone. During 2013, a total of 118 were found in the sampled
quadrats; 115 in 2014, and 97 in 2015. Among all 175 plants, 67 plant species were present in the
quadrats in all three years, but the others appeared in one or in two years only (Table 3). The

Analysis of Biomass on the Test-Plots


Effects of three factors of position, soil depth, and soil quality on biomass of native and adventive
plants were assessed at 28 test-plots established on the site. The data were analyzed with PROC GLM
procedure in SAS 9.3, a professional statistical software package developed by SAS Institute Inc.
(http://www.sas.com/). The factor of position has seven levels of North Lower (NL), North Middle
(NM), North Upper (NU), Ridge Top (RU), South Lower (SL), South Middle (SM), and South Upper
(SU); soil depth has three levels of 12 inches, 18 inches, and 24 inches; and soil quality was
characterized by pH, with two levels of high (bad quality (B)), and low pH (good quality (G)). The
analysis model was designed to quantify main effects of the three factors and interaction effects of
position vs. depth and position vs. soil quality. Interaction of soil quality vs. depth was not analyzed
because of the lack of the other two soil depths (12 and 18 inches) on the bad soil condition. In an
initial analysis of the data, graphic diagnostics of the PROC GLM procedure suggested that
assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance associated with variance analysis were violated.
Therefore, in order to meet the assumptions, the biomass was transformed by logarithm function
(log10). A number of tables and graphical outputs from the final run are found in Attachments 4 and
5.
The analysis (Type III SS) showed that, for native plants, means of the biomass significantly differed by
the factor of soil quality (F= 16.22, p=0.0002, df1=1, and df2=56). Meanwhile, both slope position and
soil depth did not have significant effects on the mean biomass. No significant interactions between
position and depth, as well as between position and soil quality were identified (pposition*depth=0.8290;
pposition*quality=0.1031). When we aggregated the position factors into two groups of North and South (ridge
top excluded), the measured biomass were significantly different (F=4.8 and p=0.0327).
Among the two soil quality categories of good and bad, Post-hoc analysis with Tukey-kramer method
indicated that mean of biomass at good plots (236.5 g with a 95% confidence limits of 198.5 and 280.8
g) was significantly higher than the biomass at bad plots (104.0 g with a 95% confidence limits of 71.4
and 150.4 g).
For the 14 experimental conditions defined by combination of the two factors of position and soil
quality, Post-hoc analysis revealed significant interactions of the two factors among 6 pairs of the
condition combinations: SM-G vs. NM-B, SU-G vs. NM-B, SM-G vs. NM-G, SU-G vs. NM-G, SM-G
vs. NU-G, and SU-G vs. NU-G. Among those pairs, only one condition (NM-B) included the bad
(high pH) soil quality, indicating that position rather than soil quality was more critical in determining
biomass production of native plants. Among the 24 combinations of position with depth, only one pair
showed significant difference, confirming an uncorrelated relationship between position and depth for
biomass of native plants.
As compared to native plants, the analysis for adventive plants (Type III SS) indicated that both depth
and quality did not have significant impacts on the biomass (F= 1.87, p=0.1636, df1=2, and df2=56; F=
2.7, p=0.1061, df1=1, and df2=56), but position did (F= 2.80, p=0.0188, df1=6, and df2=56). The analysis
also indicated that there was no interaction between factor of position and depth, as well as between
position and quality. Post-hoc Tukey-kramer analysis indicated the mean biomass between those pairs:
SU-G vs. NL-G, SL-G vs. NM-G, SM-G vs. NM-G, and SU-G vs. NM-G, was significantly different.
These pairs were associated with good soil quality, indicating that when site condition was good (low
pH), position was a dominant factor affecting biomass accumulation of non-native vegetation.

S:090636:120115

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

Overall, the analysis indicated that non-native rather than native vegetation was more adaptive to
divergent environmental and site conditions. Factors of position, soil quality and depth had less effect
on growth of non-native vegetation.
Analysis of Root Growth in the Test-Plots
Measurements and photographs of all root samples are presented in Attachment 6. Effects of three
factors of position, soil depth, and soil quality on root size (W D, logarithm transformed) were
analyized with Proc GLM, separately.
For forbs, the analysis (Type III SS) showed that, by 2015, none of the three factors of soil depth,
position, and quality significantly affected root size (pdepth =0.0725, ptpositiony =0.3455, and pquality =0.0708.
For grasses, the analysis (Type III SS) showed that none of the three factors had significant effects on
root size of the grasses either (pdepth=0.5730, pposition=0.2057 and pquality=0.9695).

Fig. 10 Root area(square inches) have been used to compare root growth of the grass species,
Andropogon scoparius), and forb species,Lespedeza capitata, in the three levels of soil depths and seven slope
positions.
Plant Community Ordination Analysis
Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling (NMS) ordination analysis using PC-ORD v.6 was used as a
means of visualizing the level of difference (or similarity) of plant species cover and frequency in the 28
plots, allowing inferences to be made on how plants are associating and assembling across the various
contions within the test plot.

S:090636:120115

77

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

In the NMS data matrix, rows represented the 26 dominant plant species (previously selected based on
1) their presence in 2013, 2014, and 2015, 2) whether they had a sum of cover across all the plots
greater than 5%, and 3) frequency of presence greater than 1), and columns were the cover and
frequency of these plant species in the 28 test plots. Dissimilarity of the matrix was calculated by
Sorensen distance. Joint plots were generated by loading the data matrix in both main and secondary
matrices. From the diagrams of the ordination (presented in Figures 11 and 12) we see how the spatial
locations of each plot reveal how different (or similar) the 28 plots are in terms of variable conditions in
each plot, thus revealing potential relationships, as discussed below. A comparison of the cover and
frequency quadrat data of the species represented in the diagrams was also done to support inferences.
NMS Cover Analysis
1. The ordination analysis based on cover (Figure 11) reveals a distinct differentiation roughly
along Axis 1, with north slope plots concentrating conspicuously in the upper right quadrant of
the ordination graphic and those of south slopes occupying the lower left half, suggesting the
importance and influence of position in the developing vegetation communities. This is
supported by the pairwise comparisons.
2. By the fourth growing season, there has been a significant shift toward cover dominance by
native species used in the ordination analysis (of the same number of dominant species included
in the analysis this year, two thirds are natives compared to only one third last year).
3. The influence of sand depth and quality appears to be roughly sorting plot conditions out along
Axis 2, with 24 inch bad (high pH) soils sorting out in the lower right and all depths of good
quality (low pH) soils in the upper half of the ordination. For those species sorting out along
these axes, several natives exhibit an affinity for the south slope aspect, across a range of soil
depths and slope positions: the annual and biennial plant species daisy fleabane (ERI_STR or
Erigeron strigosus) and evening primrose (OEN_BIE, Oenothera biennis), the shallow-rooted or
rhizomaceous early goldenrod (SOL_JUN, Solidago juncea) and bergamont (MON_FIS, Monarda
fistulosa). The shallowly-rooted non-native bluegrass (POA_PRA, Poa pratensis) also exhibits an
affinity for the south slope aspect, growing well across a range of soil depths and slope
positions. On the other hand, the invasive non-native weed crownvetch (COR_VAR, Coronilla
varia) and the native ragweed (AMBPSI, Ambrosia psilostachya) appear to be associated with the
south slope but preferring the 24 inch bad (high pH) soils (S24BU, S24BM, and S24BL), with
crownvetch growing best in the lower slope position and ragweed in the upper slope postion.
4. Species with a strong affinity for the north slope aspect included non-native red fescue
(FES_RUB, Festuca rubra), and natives partridge pea (CAS_FAS, Cassia fasculata), lupine
(LUP_PER, Lupinus perennis), and switch grass (PAN_VIR, Panicum virgatum). Although all
species were generally found to be growing in a range of soil depths and both good and bad
soils, the analysis shows the following strong affinities for the north slope species: both red
fescue and swithgrass grew best in 24 inch bad high pH soils across the range of slope
elevations (N24BL, N24BM, N24BU, and R24B); partridge pea grew best in deeper 18 24
inch soils of both good and bad quality in mid to upper slope positions (N18GM, N24BU, and

S:090636:120115

78

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

N24GU); and lupine grew best in 24 inch soils in the upper slope positions of both north and
south aspects and in both good and bad soils (N24GU, N24BU, and S24GU).
NMS Frequency Analysis
1. The ordination analysis based on frequency (Figure 12) also reveals a distinct differentiation and
influence of slope aspect, however expressed along Axis 2, with north slope plots concentrating
conspicuously in the lower half of the ordination graphic and those of south slopes occupying
the upper half.
2. The frequency of native compared to non-native species is greater on the south slope with a 5:1
ratio in favor of natives, compared to the north slope, where the ratio is closer to 2:1. Those
dominant species of the south slope based on frequency are the same as those with cover
dominance in the previous analysis.
3. Of those species that are associating with greater frequency on the north slope, there appears to
be a strong distinction in how these species are sorting out by soil quality, with bad (high pH)
soils associations sorting out along Axis 1 on the lower right side. Distinctions according to soil
depth appear to sort out along Axis 1, with shallow 12 inch soils on the left and 24 inch soils on
the right. Association according to slope position (U, M, L) appears to to be more weakly
sorted.
4. Those species that appear to have greater frequency in the 12 inch good (low pH) soils across
various slope positions include non-native invasive or weedy species, such as Oriental
bittersweet (CEL_ORB, Celastrus orbiculatus) and red-top grass (AGR_ALB, Agrostis alba), and
short-lived or weedy natives, such as black-eyed Susan (RUD_HIR, Rudbeckia hirta), Eastern
cottonwood (POP_DEL, Populus deltoides), Canada goldenrod (SOL_CAN, Solidago canadensis),
and field horsetail (EQU_ARV, Equisetum arvensis). In deeper 18 24 inch soils across a variety
of slope positions, natives appear to exhibit greater frequency, including long-lived perennials
lupine, bush-clover (LES_CAP, Lespedeza capitata), and coreopsis (COR_LAN, Coreopsis
lanceolata).

Discussion
The 2015 monitoring results suggest some clear trends in establishing the Pine Bush plant assemblages
in response to sand depth, soil quality, and position (slope aspect and position along a moisture
gradient in the upper, middle, and lower slope positions). The data shows native cover and diversity
continues to increase annually in the test plots, with a concurrent important rise in competition from
non-native species.
In the analysis, the strongest trend appears to be related to the slope aspect, with native cover and
frequency favored on warmer, droughthier south facing slopes, particulary in better drained upper slope
positions. While some natives also do well on the north facing slopeparticularly in the upper slope
position, such as in the case of lupinein general, competition from weedy native and non-native
species increases on the cooler, moister north slope plots.
Soil depth contributes to these aspect-driven trends, with deeper soils of the 18 24 inch plots favoring
both cover and frequency of native species, but particularly that of native cover. The importance of
perennial grass cover is particularly strong. Shallow 12 inch soils on the other hand favor weedy, nonnative species.
Sand quality appears to have a distinct influence, although not as strong as slope aspect and sand depth,
in favoring establishment of the native Pine Bush plant assemblages. However, many weedy, nonnative species are favored in bad higher pH sands, contributing to undesirable competition and long
term alteration of soil conditions that would continue to favor their importance.
Analysis of biomass suggests the vigor of native plant growth and accumulation of biomass was linked
most strongly to soil quality, in other words in low pH sands where competition from weedy growth
was more commonly weakest. Non-native biomass was however more strongly linked with positions
of slope aspect and moisture gradient.
The analysis of root growth comparing one forb and one grass across the plots shows no significant
effets from soil depth, position, and soil quality, suggesting that, in this fourth year of vegetation
establishment, roots of the mature plants have filled the available horizontial and vertical root mediumspace, and mature plants in most slope positions appear to have approximately similar root dimensions.
Conclusion
Monitoring results and analysis in 2015 support the conclusion that the desirable native Pine Bush plant
assemblages are establishing most successfully in deeper soils of 18 24 inch depth in good (low pH)
sands. These depths are therefore recommended as the minimum final topdressing treatment needed
for final site closure, where native plant communities will be established. Challenges from weed
competition will occur most intensively on north facing slopes and in mid to lower slope positions
along the moisture gradient on both north and south facing slopes. Because sand depth influences the
degree to which weed competition is a factor, depths closer to the 24 inch depth will contribute to a

S:090636:120115

82

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

reduction of weed competition and associated management needs/costs in most positions on the
landfill cap. On ridge tops and upper south facing slopes, depths of 18 inches may be adequate due to
these positions being most favorable for drought tolerant native grasses and forbs. On the older GAL,
deeper sands above the recommended 24 inch depth will likely be necessary on the mid to lowest slope
positions. This is due to the seepage and higher moisture levels found in these locations, which will be
most favorable for weed competition, particularly by the highly competitive Phragmites which has
previously colonized the GAL.
On the areas of the landfill that will be closed with a new Part 360 geomembrane cap, the seepage issue
may not be as great a risk to encouraging the colonization and establishment of invasive plant species
such as Phragmites. However, until this is evaluated further, at this time, we would recommend that
from midslope locations to the toe of the landfill, sand depths will need to be deeper than 24 inches.

in Attachment E of the 2010 Phase I Annual Work Plan.

Attachment E. Test Plot Program


Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
Phase I of the Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
(AES 2009) required the establishment of test plots of varying sand depths to measure and evaluate
minimum sand depth and sand quantity needs for restoring desirable open native barrens grassland
vegetation, the preferred Karner blue butterfly habitat, on all current and future closed landfill cap
surfaces. A set of 4, 1-5 acre test plots have been designed collaboratively with the project restoration
team and have been installed on the level and side slope surfaces of the older Greater Albany Landfill
(GAL) cap. Beginning in 2012, information will be gathered from the test plots over a minimum 5-7
year period and will provide a measure of germination and early establishment success of selected
native grasses and forbs characteristic of the open grassland component of the Pitch Pine-Scrub Oak
Barrens community important to the goals of the restoration for landfill cap surfaces. Results gathered
from the test plots will be used during Phase IV (Years 5 & 6) to re-vegetate the GAL cap and in
Phase V (Years 7-10) to re-vegetate the Eastern Expansion landfill cap. Other information gathered
from the test plots will help the restoration team to understand the optimum site prep, seeding and
mulching strategies, and short- and long-term management strategies necessary to ensure successful
development and maturation of the plantings and site stability on the highly exposed surfaces of the
landfill cap. This information will also help to determine the minimum sand quantities that the City
will need to purchase and inform strategies for reducing importation, trucking, delivery, and grading
costs.
Previous efforts by others in 2002 to establish and monitor test plots of native plantings on the landfill
cap provide important information to help ensure the success of the current test plot program.
1. Limited availability of locally sourced pine barrens native seed from within the desired 50-mile
geographic radius will require careful planning to ensure adequate seed quantities of the desired
species and sufficient seed quality are obtained either commercially from reputable native seed
producers or by authorized hand collection efforts within the Preserve or from accessible
properties within the approved geographic range. It is anticipated that a combination of these
and other seed collection and propagation strategies will be necessary to ensure an adequate
seed supply for the landfill restoration work.
2. Climatic influences such as prolonged drought versus cool wet periods can influence
competitive effects from non-native cool season grasses and weedy forbs and will require close
monitoring and timely, effective management responses.
3. Sufficient test plot size is necessary to adequately measure test plot results.
4. Placement of test plots on representative slope and aspect conditions will be important to
measure response to site variability.
5. Test plots must be clearly marked and documented with GPS to relocate boundaries over the
life and monitoring period of the test plots.

Methods for designing, installing, managing, monitoring, and reporting test plot results are provided
below. A schematic of the test plot layout as revised and approved in 2011 is attached. Due to two
heavy tropical storm events in 2011 that severely eroded newly placed capping sands, the test plot
configuration was adjusted to shorten the slope distance and to minimize erosion risk. Additional
slope stabilization features (straw wattles and dispersing swales) were designed and installed (see
attached detail drawings) to ensure sand stabilization during early vegetation establishment.
Test Plot Methods & Design
A. Test Plot Goals
The test plots will serve to address the following project goals:
1. Determine the minimum sand depth, sand quality, and sand quantity needs for restoring
desirable Pitch Pine Scrub Oak Barrens vegetationgrasses, forbs, trees, and shrubsto
optimize Karner blue butterfly habitat on all current and future closed landfill cap surfaces.
2. Determine the optimal site prep, seeding rates, erosion control strategies, and short- and longterm management strategies needed to ensure successful development and maturation of the
plantings and site stability on the highly exposed surfaces of the landfill cap.
3. Determine the minimum sand quantities that the City will need to purchase and determine
strategies for bringing the greatest cost efficiency to acquiring, transporting, stockpiling, and
grading imported sands to allow maximizing investment in species diversity.
4. Determine the range of sand quality available and the amendment requirements needed to
achieve the permitted sand specifications and/or the targeted vegetation composition and
cover.
5. Determine the suitability of the highest quality unamended sand available for use in restoring
desired barrens vegetation on the landfill cap.
B. Test Plot Questions
We intend to use the test plots to address the following questions:
1. At what minimum depth will vegetation establish with the most diversity?
2. What minimum sand quantities are required to stabilize steep side slopes of the landfill cap?
3. What minimum sand quality requirements (pH, organic matter, nutrient levels, and CEC) are
required to establish target vegetation?
4. What soil amendments will be needed to achieve minimum sand specifications?
5. Will the highest quality unamended sands available be suitable for achieving the target
vegetation composition and cover? Or will it favor weedy growth including Phragmites?
6. What erosion control methods are needed to stabilize steep side slopes of the landfill cap?
7. What weed control strategies will be needed to reduce competition from cool season grasses,
common reed, and weedy forbs to achieve the highest quality vegetation cover?
8. What species provide rapid soils stabilizing cover, greatest habitat benefits, and are most cost
effective in achieving the desired barrens vegetation goals.
C. Testable Hypotheses
1. The shallowest sand depth will produce the lowest diversity and cover by each species in the
seed mix.
2. The shallowest sand depth will produce the least root and above ground biomass.

S:090636:120115

85

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

3. The shallowest sand depth will stabilize the side slopes less quickly as a result of poor root and
above ground biomass production.
4. The shallowest sand depth and higher pH un-amended sands will require the greatest weed
control inputs.
5. The un-amended higher pH sands will favor weedy growth and Phragmites invasion.
D. Test Plot Design & Installation
The test plot layout has been modified from the original plan presented in the 2010 and 2011 Work
Plan, as explained in Attachment E of the 2011 Compliance Report. The modifications made to the
test plots are depicted in the attached graphics. Seeding of native seed mixes will occur in spring 2012
into the late 2011 cover crop and mulch application. The test plot design will continue to consist of the
following parameters:
1. Three test plots located to represent 1) level conditions on top of the GAL cap, 2) steep side
slopes with a southerly aspect, and 3) steep side slopes with a northerly aspect.
2. Each test plot will be divided into 4 subplots, each containing a different sand depth (12, 18,
24, and 24 un-amended), distributed as consistently as possible in each subplot via grading.
3. Each test plot will be permanently marked at the outside corners with permanently labeled
metal t-posts and located with GPS to ensure accurate relocation of each test plot and subplot.
4. Test plot borders will be seeded with the same native seed mix and allowed to grow as adjacent
test plots. Mowing of borders running parallel with the slopes will not be conducted due to
erosion risk caused by operating machinery in sands on steep slopes. However, periodic
mowing to control weeds will be conducted and erosion risk will be minimized by operating
machinery perpendicular to slopes across adjacent test plots.
5. To minimize herbivory damage to plantings, a solar-powered electric fence suitable for
excluding deer will be constructed around the entire test plot area. During winter months
when the electrical fencing may be less effective, measures will be taken to protect woody
plantings from browse damage. This may require the use of tree tubes suitable for shrubs.
6. Each subplot has been prepared for seeding by removing weedy growth and applying approved
clean sand substrates per test plot design and grading to specified depths. (See plan
specifications: Section 31 13 14 Herbaceous Species Removal; Section 32 91 14 Soil Chemistry
Parameters; and applicable guidelines related to grading from Section 31 23 00 Excavation and
Fill).
7. Each subplot has been seeded with a cover crop and mulched with clean straw. Native seed
mixes will be installed in spring 2012. Locally grown trees and shrubs from native seed
collections and approved commercial containerized stock will be installed following
establishment of soil stabilizing ground cover (anticipated installation in 2013). Native seed
will be applied at approved seeding rates designed to achieve optimum vegetation
establishment and soil stability. Species lists were developed to be representative of the PPSOB community, and lists were refined and adjusted during a collaborative review and
approval process with the IHMT for the 2010 and 2011work plans, and based on 2010 seed
collection results. (See approved native species lists and seeding rates attached, and guidelines
in plan specifications Sections 32 92 19 Seeding, 32 93 43 Trees and Shrubs).
8. Seed installation and mulching methods were modified from the 2010 and 2011 work plans to
accelerate slope stabilization following a series of slope failures during heavy rains in 2010 and
tropical storm events in 2011 (see 2011 Compliance Report Attachment E for details of the
seeding and mulching strategy).

9. Permanent photo point locations will be established to document test plot conditions at the
time of installation and at the time of all subsequent monitoring efforts.
10. Electric fencing will be installed around the test plots to discourage deer herbivory.
11. Woody plants will be installed in the test plots in 2013, or when nursery-grown plants are
ready. A planting plan for woody plants will be developed as part of the 2014 annual work
plan.
E. Test Plot Management & Weed Control
Test plots will be managed as needed by selective mowing to help control weedy growth. This
mowing may include the outside test plot perimeter. Mowing of interior 10 subplot borders is not
recommended due to risk of erosion. As a result, the interior subplot borders were seeded with the
same native species mix applied to the entire test plot surface. Positions of subplot corners were
permanently located by GPS to facilitate relocation for monitoring purposes. Weed control within the
test plots and within the borders will utilize chemical applications as specified and approved in the
project Integrated Pest and Invasive Species Management Plan. (See specifications and guidelines in
the IPM Plan prepare by AES June 2009). Other plot management will include appropriate periodic
mowing during early vegetation establishment. If approved, fire may be used to invigorate native
growth and discourage competition from cool season grasses and other invasive species.
F. Test Plot Monitoring & Reporting
Test plots will be monitored during the growing season in late spring (late May/early June) and in late
summer (late August/early September). Monitoring methods will employ at minimum the following
techniques and analysis:
Quadrat samplingground cover vegetation will be sampled from meter square quadrats placed
randomly or along a permanent study transect established within each subplot. Sampled data from
each quadrat will include an estimate of percent cover for each species rooted within each quadrat, and
cover by other ground cover features including bare soil, fine and coarse litter, and Bryophytes. A
summary analysis of collected data will include presence, frequency, cover, relative frequency, relative
cover, and importance values for each species and ground cover feature.
Timed Meander Searcha time equated measure of species diversity within each test plot will be sampled
using the Timed Meander Search (TMS) method (Goff et al. 1982). This method requires walking
each test plot thoroughly, recording each new species encountered during one-minute intervals until
no new species are encountered. Annual TMS data will be graphed as the number of species
encountered per minute and compared to graphs in subsequent years to monitor species diversity
trends.
Photo Documentationphotographs will be taken at the time of each monitoring visit from the transect
end points and other permanent photo point locations. Photos will be taken with digital cameras and
photo files will be labeled and archived according to site, date, and location. Photos will accompany
the monitoring data in the annual reports to provide a visual depiction of test plot success.
Biomass Samplingabove ground biomass will be sampled from random quadrats within each subplot.
All vegetation will be clipped at ground level and separated into paper grocery bags by native versus
non-native species for subsequent drying. All bags will be labeled clearly and weighed at the time of
sampling. All bags will be stored in an appropriate drying room with proper ventilation to ensure

S:090636:120115

87

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

optimum drying conditions. All bags will be weighed subsequently at regular intervals during the
drying process until weights stabilize. Weights will be tabulated for inclusion in the annual monitoring
report.
Root Depth Documentationin each test plot, a representative number of individual plant species will be
excavated to confirm rooting architecture and depths. This disruptive sampling technique will be very
limited in scope and will be limited to sampling plot margins. The primary purpose will be to
understand how the plant root architecture responds to different substrate depths.
Soil Sampling & Analysisdepending upon the need for soil amendments to achieve sand quality
specifications, we will annually sample and analyze amended soils from each test plot to compare to
soil specification parameters.
Reporting & Management Recommendationsthe early spring sampling period will allow detection of early
flowering species and will assess weed management needs and at the start of the growing season. This
fall monitoring assessment will document management success and provide recommendations for late
season management.
G. Reporting Final Results, Recommendations & Finalizing Topsoil Specifications & Costs

During the test plot period, interim and final reports will be prepared and submitted to the Steering
Committee for review. The report will contain a summary and analysis of the data collected over the test plot
period, and recommendations for final topdressing of the balance of the landfill with Pine Bush sand to
achieve the ecological, economic, and permitted outcomes. The report will also contain the final refined
topsoil and seeding specifications for successfully restoring the remainder of the landfill cap based on the
outcomes of the test plot study.

Attachment E. Proposed Test Plot Seed Mix


A single pitch pine-scrub oak barrens native seed mix will be applied consistently on the top and side slopes of the test plot area at a rate of 10-15 lbs/ac of grasses and
2-4 lbs/ac of forbs, or a total of 12-19 lbs/ac native seed. This seeding rate achieves a ratio of 65% grasses and 35% forbs and 800 seeds per sq/yd. A cover crop will be
applied at a rate of 100 lbs/ac necessary to stabilize steep sandy slopes.

Attachment F. Phase II Wetland & Stream Enhancement


Compliance Report
Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
The 2015 Work Plan called for several wetland enhancement activities designed to hasten the
establishment of the created wetlands. These activities were to include a sand amendment to
improve hydrological performance in selected areas of the Phase II Forested Wetland Community,
regrading of the pump station wetland area to achieve more consistent wetland hydrology, and
removal of the construction access roads. The 2015 Work Plan also included the repair and
modification of the log vanes within the relocated stream in Phase II and the down-stream ditched
channel to raise the stream bed elevation and deactivate the tile drains.
Some of these tasks were on hold during 2015 as the Biological Opinion was being revised to more
accurately account for all the restoration activities. The Biological Opinion was issued on August 26,
2015, which allowed for some of the sand amendments and some of the road removal.
Vernal Pond Sphagnum Moss Establishment
During 2013, Sphagnum moss was introduced into the Vernal Pond. This planting activity was to
occur in two applications. Due to abnormally high levels of precipitation and prolonged high water
levels in the vernal pond, conditions were not favorable for the second application of sphagnum
propagules in 2013. These conditions persisted in 2014 until the fall when drier weather caused the
draw-down of the aquifer and portions of the vernal pond bed were exposed. The second
preparation and application of sphagnum moss occurred on October 10 and 15, 2014, following the
same specifications that were developed for the 2013 planting activity for the June/July collection
period. The activity for 2015 involved monitoring for Sphagnum growth with consideration of a
third application should ideal conditions occur, using methods detailed in the work plan. The
introduction of Sphagnum is a goal but not a requirement of the Restoration Plan. The application
effort for this activity is not significant but establishment can be difficult if the right conditions do
not persist.
Soil Amendment Using a Hydrophilic Polyacrylamide (PAM) for High-Infiltration Underperforming Sands in the
Forested Wetland Zone
Some areas within the Phase II forested wetland zone are not establishing wetland vegetation at the
densities found in other highly productive areas along the stream corridors. The slow establishment

S:090636:120115

500

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

is attributed to the absence of the final organic hydric soil top-dressing of the clean sand substrates
that was applied during construction to other successfully established and hydrologically performing
forested wetland settings in Phase II. It was determined that a cost effective, low-impact soil
amendment, which would function similarly to an organic soil layer would help to hold moisture in
the rooting zone and thus accelerate establishment of the hydrophytic vegetation. A plan was
developed using a specific formulation of PAM in combination with bentonite clay to enhance and
sustain the wetting-up of these otherwise well drained sand soils (see associated graphic in
Attachment 1. 2015 PAM & Bentonite Application Area, Sheet WD-2). Consultation during the
2014 growing season with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other members of the Interagency
Habitat Management Team determined the limits of PAM and bentonite application onsite where
lupine populations have begun to develop in transitional wetland areas.
This consultation led to a revision of the Biological Assessment to address wetland establishment
within areas now containing lupine but intended to be wetland, among other outstanding
management issues that were not completely addressed in the original Biological Opinion (BO). A
revised BO was received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on August 26, 2015.
Pump Station Grading
During 2013, the pump station area of the Phase II restoration was re-graded in accordance with the plans
provided in the 2013 Work Plan. This work was conducted to lower the elevation of this area to achieve
better hydrology in support of wetland vegetation. The elevations chosen for this area were also reflective of
the need to protect the structural integrity of the pump station. Upon completion of grading, the area was
planted and seeded with wetland species. This area continued to have a gentle slope from the pump station
to the relocated stream and as a result, runoff from the surrounding areas, including the road to the pump
station, caused minor erosion and gullying. In order to control this condition and to support the retention of
water in this area as a supplement to the PAM application, the incorporation of small depressions and swales
was proposed in the 2014 Work Plan. During initiation of this work, it was determined that the groundwater
table could not be intersected with the shallow excavations. Several deeper test pits were advanced to better
understand the depth to groundwater. It was finally determined that the effort to just capture surface water
and improve water holding capacity in the soil would not generate reliable results and more extensive grading
would be necessary to achieve the appropriate wetland elevations. As a result, the following plans
(Attachment 2. Phase II Pump Station Re-Grading Plan (Sheet C-105)) were developed to cut the site
down to grades that will be supported by groundwater.

Construction Access Road Removal


Due to the close proximity of the road to occupied KBB habitat, the road could not be removed
until the new BO was issued. As a result, road removal was initiated but could not be completed
this year according to plan (Attachment 3. Phase II Overall Roadway Removal Plan, Sheet C-101,
and Phase II Enlarged Roadway Removal & Details, Sheet C-102). It was decided that late season
removal of the stream culverts would not allow time for cover crop establishment and would
therefore increase the potential for erosion. Road removal will resume in 2016.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

Log Vane Repair/Modification


Log vanes occur in both the relocated stream in the Phase II Restoration area and in the ditched
stream located in the Phase III Restoration area. Within Phase II, the log vanes were installed to
prevent continued down-cutting of the erodible sand bed, which could lead to dewatering of the
adjacent, created wetland areas. Three of the five log vanes have failed and are either being
undermined or bypassed (around the ends). All three require repair (see plans in Attachment 4.
Revised Log Vane Details, Sheets C-103 and C-104). In Phase III, the log vanes are more elaborate
structures designed to create a damming effect that will create a backwater and eventually backfill
with sediment. The purpose of this structure is to raise the bed of the ditched stream to an
elevation that will deactivate the agricultural tile drains running all along this stream and dewatering
the wetland. The existing log vanes have performed as intended and have raised the stream bed.
However, another layer of logs is required to raise the bed higher to have an effect on the tile drains.
Work Activity
Vernal Pond Sphagnum Moss Establishment
A third application of sphagnum was not carried out in 2015 due to unsuitable conditions during the growing
season. Other attempts may be proposed in future years based on monitoring of conditions conducive to
sphagnum establishment. During 2015, a dense mat of coons tail (Ceratophyllum demersum), a submersed aquatic
macrophyte of nutrient rich ponds, lakes, and quiet streams, developed across the vernal pond. This is a
remarkable development as this species was not reported in this location in last seasons transect (DS-3) or
species search data, although it may have been present but not detectable at that time. Its accelerated growth
may be explained by the advanced decomposition of the coarse woody mulch that was applied to raise the
bottom elevation of the vernal pond in 2013. Coons tail, like other similar submersed macrophytes, has
demonstrated allelopathic properties (inhibitory plant extracts), which, along with its dense growth habit,
allows it to outcompete other types of aquatic vegetation (Gross et al. 2003). Its presence may represent an
early and even protracted phase in the development of the vernal pond substrates, while nutrient levels
remain high.

Soil Amendment Using a Hydrophilic Polyacrylamide (PAM) for High-Infiltration Underperforming Sands in the
Forested Wetland Zone
PAM and bentonite were applied to the specific wetland creation areas agreed to in the BO and as
shown on the attached figure (Attachment 1. 2015 PAM & Bentonite Application Area, Sheet WD2). PAM and bentonite were not applied to the pump station area wetland. The newly excavated
wetland, as described below in the Pump Station Grading section, has appropriate elevations and
topsoil cover to promote the establishment of hydrophytes.
Initial application of PAM occurred in early April, using a walk-behind rotary spreader, immediately
followed by hand-seeding of the Phase II Forested Wetland seed mix. Follow-up bentonite

S:090636:120115

502

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

application took place in June, allowing the PAM adequate time to bind to the soil profile. After
approval of the revised BO in September, PAM was applied in the low-density lupine area
surrounding the eastern half of the dune, followed by seeding and bentonite application in late
October. Amendment to the former logging road will occur in 2016 after the crushed stone
removal is completed.
Regular monitoring of the PAM/bentonite areas took place throughout 2015, which included
surface inspections, visual soil profile inspections, and vegetative response observations. Addressing
initial concerns that macroinvertebrates would be caught in sticky traps of PAM or bentonite
following application, care was taken to search for such evidence and none was observed.
Post-application visual inspections revealed quick dissipation in the case of bentonite, with no
surface evidence of particles 72 hours after the first rain event. Larger PAM particles were observed
at various stages of dissolution over a 6-8 week period after initial application, while the majority of
smaller particles dissolved into the soil profile after the first few rain events. Both amendments were
applied in dry conditions and no evidence was found of the dissolving material either clinging to
vegetation or trapping macroinvertebrates.
The vegetative response of areas treated in the spring was visually evident. The vigor of commonly
established mesic plants, such as tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima) was increased in a manner
consistent with elevated moisture and nutrient availability, in what was a year of low precipitation.
An abundance of wetland germinants were also observed, indicating positive overall response to the
amendment and enhancement seeding activities. Further observation will be necessary in 2016 to
support initial conclusions.
Pump Station Grading
The area was excavated as designed in
the spring of 2015 (Attachment 2. Phase
II Pump Station Re-Grading Plan, Sheet
C-105). In addition, small vernal pools
were excavated throughout the
mitigation wetland to provide relief and
habitat. Trees and shrubs that were
previously planted in this area were
salvaged during early spring and
replanted in the current wetland area.
The area was seeded with native wetland
species collected locally for the
restoration effort. Based on initial

S:090636:120115

503

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

observations of this area, the elevations appear to be suitable for the establishment of the desired
forested wetland community. The vernal pools remained ponded during the spring but dried up in
the summer, as anticipated.
Construction Access Road Removal
Approximately 920 feet of road was removed this year, following issuance of the BO. The
remaining portions of the road will be removed in 2016, which will include the removal of the two
stream culverts (see Attachment 3. Phase II Overall Roadway Removal Plan, Sheet C-101, and Phase
II Enlarged Roadway Removal & Details, Sheet C-102).
Log Vane Repair/Modification
The log vanes were not repaired or modified as planned this year (see Attachment 4. Revised Log
Vane Details, Sheets C-103 and C-104). The City spent a good deal of its construction labor
resources on slope stability issues in other parts of the City, including the Normanskill landslide.
Although there is current availability of City personnel, it was decided that late season repairs could
lead to bank erosion issues either this fall or in the spring due to insufficient time to establish
vegetative cover.
Deviations from Work Plan
Issuance of the BO on August 26, 2015 delayed the application of PAM and bentonite and the
removal of the construction access roads. Suitable weather conditions persisted through late
summer/early fall allowing for the application of PAM and bentonite in all soil amendment areas
identified in the 2015 Work Plan. It was not possible, however, to complete the road removal
activities this year and will therefore be continued in 2016.
The log vane repairs and modifications have also been delayed until 2016 due to unforeseen events
elsewhere in the City that required Department of General Services personnel.

City of Albany, New York
Introduction
Phase II & Phase III restoration activities include the implementation of the Integrated Pest and
Invasive Species Management Plan for the Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation,
Restoration & Enhancement Project (AES June 2009). Invasive species management efforts were
initiated onsite beginning in 2010 by the Ecological Consultant acting on behalf of the City of
Albany. Control efforts have focused on seven high priority species that pose the greatest risk to the
long term success of the restoration plan. These species are listed in the table below. Unwanted
woody growth and other invasive species and noxious weeds, as those listed in the IPM Plan and
found within the restoration area, have also been and continue to be controlled on a case by case
basis. Invasive species control activities in 2015 followed the schedule below. Maps showing the
distribution of each species where control efforts are focused (Attachment G-1, Sheets 1 8), as
well as a lupine population distribution map (Attachment G-2), a mowing plan (Attachment G-3),
and a tree removal plan (Attachment G-4) for selected areas of the site.

Work Activity
Woody Invasives
Since the time control measures for key woody invasives were initiated in March 2011 in the Phase
II and III areas, management consisting of spot treatments has continued in order to maintain
desired control levels. Shrub and woody vine species targeted for control have included oriental
bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), autumn olive (Elaeagnus
umbellata), and multiple species of honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.). Crabapple (Malus spp.) and aspen are
among woody species that are monitored and treated when encountered as emerging seedlings in
wetland and upland areas of the restoration.
With the completion of Phase III canopy thinning and clearing activities in 2013, additional woody
species control has been required in the understory to maintain the open pine barrens community
structure. For example, a substantial soil seedbank of cherries (Prunus spp.), red maple (Acer rubrum),
and poplars (Populus spp.) has responded to increased light levels resulting in a proliferation of
seedlings of these species. A foliar spray program consisting of 1-2% glyphosate was begun in 2013
and continued into 2015 to control woody seedlings and also to manage any woody regrowth from
previously cut stumps. This activity will continue as needed until a prescribed fire regime can largely
and effectively replace chemical control. Efforts to control woody invasives on the south side of the
landfill along the Thruway also began in 2013. Cottonwoods killed and left standing, as well as other
non-desirable trees in this area are targeted for removal in fall/winter 2015 2016.
Methods for woody invasives control treatments involve basal bark herbicide application, cut
stem/stump application, and in some instances hand-pulling. Both herbicide methods utilize the
formulation Triclopyr at rates of 20-30% based on targeted species, and mixed with bark oil to
facilitate penetration of the bark and to ensure sufficient uptake of the chemical. Glyphosate was
also used at a rate of 50% - 100% as a standard solution with water. Chemicals used in this manner
are mixed with a blue tracer dye to flag or mark treated stumps and to ensure proper coverage.
All methods of removal have utilized manual tools (i.e. pruners, loppers, handsaws).
1. Oriental Bittersweet
This strangling vine grows vigorously throughout forested areas, climbing over and
smothering other woody and herbaceous vegetation. The extent of the infestation within
many areas of the restoration has been severe, making bittersweet an important focus of
invasive woody control efforts beginning in 2012 when the vast majority of large vines (1
dia. or >) growing in Phase II and III areas were cut and stump treated. In 2013, large
populations along the southern perimeter of the GAL were similarly treated. While small
stems continue to persist and new seedlings emerge in nearly all portions of the project area,
the most significant populations at the beginning of the 2015 growing season remained in

S:090636:120115

526

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

W-1, W-2, and in the south sector of the GAL. This resurgence of bittersweet is due largely
to the canopy clearing and thinning enhancement activities in Phase III settings which
intentionally increased understory light levels needed to achieve the pine barrens structure
and composition and predictably stimulated germination and vigorous growth of new
bittersweet seedlings. These areas have been the main focus of control efforts in 2015 and
will continue to be the focus into the 2016 season, while monitoring and continued control
of new seedling growth in PII and other sectors will be conducted as needed.
Control methods applied to bittersweet have been implemented as follows: twining vines
that extend onto surrounding vegetation are cut with hand pruners at the base and treated
with herbicide as part of dormant season woody control. Cut vines are pulled from the
canopy to discourage any regrowth from re-entering the canopy. Young vines that occupy
the herbaceous layer of vegetation are hand-pulled or foliar treated with herbicide as part of
herbaceous species control efforts during the growing season (May October).
2. Woody Saplings
Species such as black cherry (Prunus serotina), poplar species (Populus tremuloides, P. deltoides,
and P. grandidentata), oak species (Quercus rubra, Q. alba, Q. coccinea, etc.), and black locust
(Robinia pseudoacacia) have been observed sprouting in Phase II and Phase III enhancement
areas. During fall and winter 2015, these species were treated using basal bark and cut
stem/stump applications to prevent dense stand development and to facilitate establishment
of the open structure and correct shrub layer composition of the pine barrens community.
Additionally, cottonwoods on the U-8 sand stockpile were mowed in late summer, and resprouts sprayed to curb the heavy establishment of this species.
Woody Species Treatment Success and Recommendations for 2016
With a significant amount of the woody dormant treatment having occurred later in the 2015
season, treatment success will be better determined early in the 2016 growing season. As such, the
success of last years dormant season treatments was observed this year. The 2014 cut-stump and
foliar applications were determined to have been very effective, and as a result we anticipate similar
success from the 2015 treatments, including a late-season drill-and-fill application to several target
trees missed in the 2013 treatment. It is recommended that we continue to monitor and aggressively
treat any woody seedlings including bittersweet responding to the increased light penetration from
the PIII enhancement canopy thinning activities.
Herbaceous Invasives
Monitoring and control of non-native herbaceous invasives was conducted throughout the Phase II
and III restoration areas during 2015, according to the attached distribution maps in Attachment G1, for Canada thistle, garlic mustard, spotted knapweed, Phragmites, purple loosestrife, sweet clover,
and cattail).
Now in its third full growing season, native perennials in Phase II have advanced in above ground
stature and below ground root structure to achieve greater competitive dominance over many annual
species, including many of the less competitive agricultural weeds. Those species identified as

S:090636:120115

527

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

herbaceous species of greatest concern in Phase II due to their continued prevalence across the
project area and persistent competition with native perennials include garlic mustard (Alliaria
petiolata), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa), common reed
(Phragmites australis), sweet clover (Melilotus albus, M. officianalis), and purple loosestrife (Lythrum
salicaria). Species of secondary concern include Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), Japanese stilt
grass (Microstegium vimineum), partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata ), cheat grass (Bromus tectorum)
and smooth brome (Bromus inermis), among others. Black bindweed (Fallopia convulvulus) and Russian
thistle (Salsola kali) populations have faded considerably, partly due to control efforts, as well as
increased native perennial dominance.
Significant herbaceous control efforts occurred this season in the Phase III cleared and opened
enhancement areas. These areas will require intense monitoring and control of vegetative growth,
due to significant alterations in canopy structure, light penetration, and soil/litter dynamics.
Methods for invasive herbaceous species control involve hand-pulling, mowing, and foliar
application of herbicides with backpack applicators. Glyphosate is typically applied at a rate of 1-3%
for most foliar applications, although other herbicides may be used as outlined in the Integrated Pest
and Invasive Species Management Plan. All work is performed during the growing season (May
October) in the manner described in the plan, however special consideration is given to the
following species regarding methods to be used and timing of treatments:
1.

Garlic Mustard

While plants remain active year round, control of garlic mustard largely occurs in spring
(April/May) as second-year plants bolt and flower. This timing is generally used to reduce
impact to surrounding vegetation. Methods involve foliar application of 2-3% aquatic
glyphosate (AquaNeat) with backpack applicators. Hand-pulling is also utilized in sensitive
areas or once seed development is sufficient to warrant removal of the seed head, as the
chemical would not kill the plant in time to prevent the seed from maturing. Control efforts
for this species will be ongoing until the seed bank is sufficiently exhausted.
2.

Spotted Knapweed

Spotted knapweed emerged in high density in the Phase II restoration area in 2012, in both
uplands and wetlands. In the following years, this population has declined dramatically.
Significant effort was made to eliminate basal rosettes before flowering and seed maturation,
and the same strategy has carried over into 2015. Control has focused on upland and mesic
populations, as well as wetland populations. The Phase III areas did not experience a large
influx of knapweed in response to clearing activities, except in U-11 and U12, where an old
road facilitated the spread of the seed before forest establishment. The same proactive
approach as with garlic mustard is used to interrupt flowering and seed set in order to limit
the seed bank establishment in these areas. Herbicide application of 2% glyphosate was
used with backpack applicators for knapweed. Treatment occurred across the site from May
through September.

3.

Phragmites

Phragmites populations previously treated in 2009-2012 included those located on the GAL,
in areas adjacent to Fox Run Estates mobile home park, and in the APBP vernal pond.
Reduction in stand area and density has been significant, but consistent management is still
required to prevent re-establishment. The Phragmites stands west of Fox Run Estates have
largely been eliminated as a result of construction activities in Phase II. However, small resprouts across Phase II have appeared, and were treated with a hand-wick application to
avoid large brown-out areas and to protect and maintain the establishing wetland vegetation.
Phragmites stands accessible by equipment on the north slope of the GAL were mowed
heavily (through July 15) to remove dead standing stems from the previous season and to
reduce vigor of the current seasons growth. This population has been reduced by 90% or
greater since the inception of treatment in 2010.
Phragmites treatments in 2015 occurred from mid September to mid October on the GAL
and within the PII and PIII project areas, using the herbicide formulations aquatic
glyphosate (AquaNeat) and imazamox (Clearcast). Treatment methods included the use of a
high pressure spray gun to achieve maximum coverage on thick vegetation, spot treatment
with backpack applicators, and hand-wicking in sensitive areas.
4. Canada Thistle
Populations of Canada thistle in the Phase II/III areas were targeted within two treatment
windows when herbicide applications are most effective for this species. The first treatment
window occurred in July, during the time of late bud development and early flowering of the
plants. This strategy aims to eliminate seed production and weaken the plants by forcing
them to exhaust root reserves. The second treatment window took place in October, while
plants are vigorously producing and transporting sugars to the roots for winter storage and
thus carrying the herbicide effectively to the roots. Monitoring in 2015 of Canada thistle
determined populations are holding steady, a result of treatment efforts over the past two
years which have held in-check the expanding distribution and invigorated growth of this
species in response to canopy thinning.
5. Purple Loosestrife
Purple loosestrife has been most effectively controlled when herbicide applications occur
after flower bud development begins in July. Accordingly, treatments were conducted in July
and August. Before spraying, inflorescences are removed from flowering plants, and these
are bagged and transported from the site if seeds are well developed and capable of
producing a ripened seed rain. Herbicide applications are made with a backpack applicator
at a rate of 1.5% triclopyr (trade name Garlon3A). Purple Loosestrife continues to appear in
all stream corridors, biofilters and wetlands across the site. Plants observed and treated this
season were mostly of short stature and slender indicating they were first year plants newly
emerging from the seed bank. Ongoing monitoring and treatment of this species will be
necessary to reduce the existing seedbank.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

6. Sweet Clover
Sweet Clover (Melilotus alba, M. officinalis) remains in moderate densities across much of the
wetland and upland portions of the Phase II and Phase III restoration. Control efforts have
been focused on preventing seed production by elimination of second year seed producing
plants. Effective control has been achieved with foliar backpack applications of 2%
glyphosate. Treatments were conducted in 2015 between mid June and early October.
Additional Species Identified and Treated in 2015
7. Partridge Pea
Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata) is an annual plant that thrives in disturbed habitats.
Within the Pine Bush system it is considered an undesirable species capable of outcompeting
natives. For the second straight year, most of the dense stands of Partridge Pea were mowed
to interrupt seed production in order to reduce the potential for seed bank establishment.
Smaller patches were foliar sprayed with pelargonic acid (Scythe), a contact herbicide for
annuals. The populations of this species will be closely monitored and controlled with an
adaptive treatment strategy as best methods for control are determined.
8. Japanese Stilt Grass
A small Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum) population persisted in 2015 after
discovery and treatment last year. Two additional treatments occurred in August, using
sethoxydim (Poast), a grass-specific herbicide. Evaluation of the treatments revealed
effective results, but as a highly aggressive species, Microstegium will require continued
observation and treatment to eliminate.
9. Cattail
Cattail (Typha spp) is a perennial plant that forms dense stands spreading by rhizome and
seed. When not managed in early succession areas with open soil or shallow water, it will
out compete other native species creating a monoculture. Both native broad leaf cattail
(Typha latifolia) and non-native narrow leaf cattail (Typha angustifolia) are present on the site,
with the latter being non-native. Foliar treatments were conducted in the tree-mound
wetlands, and boom-wick applications of 30% glyphosate were made in the stream corridors
and P4 wetland. As total elimination of cattail is neither necessary nor desired, it is likely
that spot treatments will achieve sufficient control in the future, as other desirable species fill
in available gaps.
The following species were also spot treated throughout the project during 2015 with 1-3%
glyphosate (trade names Rodeo or Cornerstone Plus) or 1-3% triclopyr (Garlon 3A).

Herbaceous Species Treatment Success and Recommendations for 2016


As native vegetation has become established across the restored areas of the site and with the
consistent and ongoing implementation of the sites IPM plan, a notable decrease in density and
vigor of several target invasive plant species has been observed on the site by the end of the 2015
growing season. Some of these species have a substantial seed bank in the sites soils, and it will be
imperative to continue to closely monitor and aggressively control emerging populations while they
are most easily treated and cost-effectively controlled. Mowing activities according to the mowing
plan (Attachment G-3) occurred monthly around the landfill, targeting partridge pea, phragmites,
thistles, and other weedy species to minimize seed production and dispersal into the restoration site
from these locations. Mowing management in these areas will continue as needed in 2016.
Sensitive Area Procedures
Use of Herbicide in Areas of Established Lupine
The following procedures will be used to avoid herbicide contact with lupine and to minimize
disturbance to larvae and adults. We propose that these methods be re-evaluated at the end of the
growing season should management of invasive species be hampered and fail to achieve restoration
goals to establish functional pine barrens habitat as required in the plan.
1.

All target invasive plants within 6 8 of lupine populations, but no closer than 1 foot,
which are determined to be best treated with chemical herbicides to maximize control will be
treated with a backpack sprayer equipped with a cone to shield the nozzle to minimize
herbicide drift beyond the target plant leaf and stem surfaces.
2. Other best practices to avoid drift and herbicide contact with non-target species will be
employed, as is the practice in all areas of the project site. These practices include: directing
application away from non-target plants while being mindful of wind direction and wind
speed, adjusting backpack sprayer pressure to a lower setting thus producing a larger droplet
size to minimize drift, maximizing treatments to smaller stature growth during each target
species seasonal cycles to reduce herbicide volumes needed and to maximize treatment
effectiveness.
3. Hand-pulling or other mechanical removal techniques may be employed during rainy
conditions when chemical control cannot occur. Additionally, regardless of weather
conditions, only mechanical removal/control will be employed within 1 foot of lupine
plants. Caution will be used in close proximity to lupine plants to avoid damage to lupine
plants and root systems and to avoid risk of exacerbating invasive plant competition by
disturbing soils and exposing the weed seedbank. In some cases, heads may be removed
(such as for knapweed and thistle) to prevent seed dispersal if pulling poses damage to

S:090636:120115

531

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

immediately adjacent lupine plants. De-headed plants will be treated later in the season if
appropriate (live tissue must be present), after lupine plants have senesced.
4. The strategy most likely to maximize establishment of lupine populations and PPSOB
habitat is to monitor and control each target invasive species according to its growth cycle
throughout the growing season and using the most effective treatment method as designed
in the approved plan. This requires that treatments occur throughout the growing season,
including during active growth of lupine plants.
30-Day Notice of Pesticide Application Plans
The 30-day notice was reduced to two weeks due to the variability of treatment conditions and need
for flexibility in adaptive management for certain target species. To facilitate this reporting protocol,
a site map showing the distribution of lupine populations onsite as of the end of the 2014 growing
season was created to serve as a treatment planning map (see map figure in Attachment G-2). This
map was circulated weekly to the USFWS and IHMT as part of weekly onsite work notification
reporting, to identify treatment activities two weeks in advance. This reporting protocol has been
successful and has allowed more effective control of invasive species on the site.
Deviations from Work Plan
The woody treatments involving larger targeted trees (Attachment G-4, and work plan narrative for
Large Tree Removal) are intended to be completed during the winter of 2015/2016. Some targeted
areas to be mowed according to the mowing plan (Attachment G-3), such as areas surrounding the
Mobile Home Park and the north side of the U-8 stockpile did not occur in 2015. Mowing in these
locations will again be part of next years work plan.

Attachment H. Phase III Enhancement


Compliance Report
Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
The goal of the Phase III Enhancement Plan is to restore upland areas to Pitch Pine Scrub Oak
Barrens and Dry Prairie Sand Flat, to establish the early successional habitat critical for the
continued conservation of the federally listed Karner Blue Butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis), and to
restore ecological connectivity to Albany Pine Bush Preserve lands east and west of the project site.
Phase III Enhancement areas were divided into management units covering 58.7 acres of varying
upland community types and an additional 29.6 acres of forested wetland (see attached A.1 Phase
III Work Plan Context Map and A.2 Phase III Work Plan Clearing Map).
Phase III canopy clearing and thinning activities were initiated in the fall/winter season of 2012 and
were largely completed by the end of 2013 with the exception of scattered populations of large
cottonwood trees and aspen clones. All cleared and thinned areas were managed for invasive species
and woody regrowth, and were stabilized with an initial cover seeding by the end of the 2013 season.
During the 2013 growing season, understory seedbank response to removal of woody growth and
resulting increased light levels was monitored to assess and determine enhancement seeding needs to
be conducted in spring 2014. By the end of 2014, all upland and wetland enhancement areas were
seeded with native species enhancement mixes.
Work Activity
PIII enhancement is in the maintenance stage, and all work conducted in 2015 falls under invasive
plant management, as detailed in Attachment G. Enhancement seeding conducted in late 2014 was
evaluated for establishment of key matrix species and determined to be successful, although lupine
germination was not uniform across all management units. Performance of lupine and associated
Kbb nectar species will require continued monitoring in 2016, and certain areas (U1, U2) may need
supplementary seeding, if further germination is not evident. In part, this determination will be
made using data from the formal Kbb habitat monitoring effort (Attachment J).
Deviations from Work Plan
The Phase III enhancement activities did not significantly deviate from the work plan. Follow-up
woody re-growth treatments may continue into 2016, and remaining large cottonwoods scattered in
locations along the Rapp Road power line may need to be considered for removal in 2016 as that
can be negotiated by National Grid, the City, or the Highway Department.

Attachment I. Soil & Hydrologic Monitoring


Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
The hydrologic monitoring program for the Albany Rapp Road project follows the approved
Monitoring Plan and Performance Criteria included in Appendix 3 of the permitted restoration plan, to
annually measure and evaluate the performance of site hydrological conditions (shallow ground water
levels and soil moisture conditions) to successfully restore and maintain the sites designed wetland
habitats.
Hydrology monitoring was initiated in spring 2012, following completion of restoration grading and
initial cover seeding in Phases I and II in late 2011. Beginning in November 2011, preparations were
underway for installing and calibrating hydrology monitoring instruments to be operational by early
spring 2012. Deployed instruments included 16 Telog soil water level recorders fitted into shallow well
casings, and 12 Decagon EC-5 soil moisture sensors, installed in pairs at six locations at depths of six and
twelve inches below the ground surface (see Exhibit 1. Hydrology Monitoring Sites map for the location
of each unit or array). Prior to installation, a gravimetric analysis was completed of four soil core samples
to estimate how much saturated capillary rise above the water table occurs in the sand on the site. Soil
samples were taken at the time of installation to determine sand porosity at 6 and 12 for calibration of
the soil moisture sensors. Both the Telog recorders and the Decagon soil moisture sensors are
continuously-recording instruments, and data are downloaded monthly during the monitoring period.
Initial monitoring instrumentation also included the use of soil moisture probes to qualitatively measure
soil moisture content. These instruments were determined to be vulnerable to abrasion damage in the
sites sandy soils, and thus at risk of producing less than reliable data over time. As a result, the use of
the probes was discontinued at the end of the 2012 monitoring season. Six existing piezometers,
installed during the design and permitting phases of the project (2006 2009), have also been monitored
periodically since 2012, to provide additional ground water measurements just southeast of the stream
restoration.
Vegetation establishment in Phases I and II was largely completed by 2013. Grading in subsequent
seasons has occurred as needed to address localized erosion and in conjunction with modifications in
some areas of the restoration to accelerate and achieve target hydrological conditions, such as in the
forested wetlands in the western sector of Phase II, the Vernal Pond, and areas near the Pump Station.
Targeted transitional wetland areas in Phase II were treated this season with a granular polyachrilamide
(PAM) formulation to accelerate hydrophytic vegetation establishment (see further discussion in the
Phase II Wetland & Stream Enhancement section of this compliance report).
Work Activity and Deviation from the Work Plan
Hydrologic monitoring in 2015 commenced on April 17, with re-installation, calibration, and data
download of soil moisture meters and maintenance and download of the permanently installed Telog
devices. Data download from both sets of instruments occurred monthly until October 15. The delayed
start of the monitoring season (typically April 1) reduced the number of monitoring days for moisture
meters by 17 days. This did not reduce the number of days of the Telog devices, as they remain in place
and operational year-round.

Introduction

The Albany Pine Bush Phase II restoration consists of approximately 40 acres of land in Colonie, New
York. The following hydrology report provides hydrological results from April 1 through October 15,
2015. This is the fourth annual compliance report evaluating the hydrology in the Phase II wetland
restoration areas.
2.0

Hydrology Performance
2.1 Growing Season & Consecutive Days

Beginning and ending dates of the growing season are required to evaluate certain wetland indicators,
such as visual observations of flooding, ponding, and shallow water tables. Growing season dates are
needed when recorded hydrologic data, such as water table monitoring data, is analyzed to determine if
wetland hydrology is present. The determination of sufficient wetland hydrology is dependent on the
start and the end of the growing season and the length (number of days) of that growing season. For
purposes of this project, April 1 and October 15 are used as the beginning and end dates of the growing
season. Hydrology conditions within the growing season are used for determining whether sufficient
hydrology is present to support wetlands.
The Phase II restoration area grading was completed in late 2011, and planting of wetland species was
limited at that time. Planting of wetland species began in earnest in the spring of 2012. By the end of
2015 the planted wetland species will have completed four full growing seasons. Evaluation of the
establishing wetland vegetation has occurred mid-summer annually since 2012 following protocols laid
out in the approved restoration plan (see Appendix 3 Monitoring Plan & Performance Criteria in the
Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan, 2009). In addition
to this vegetation monitoring effort, a separate report (appended to this document in Attachment L) was
prepared to specifically address the monitoring requirements outlined in Special Conditions I (1 7) of
the USACE permit (NAN-2005-01137-M3 dated July 15, 2011). The purpose of the USACE report is
to provide an evaluation of the success of the mitigation area in its fourth year and to determine if any
adjustments are required. Also, included in the report are the results of a wetland delineation
representing the wetland boundary location in year four of the restoration.
Based on the April 1 and October 15 dates, the regional wetland growing season extends over a period
of 198 days. The Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: North
central and Northeast Region, (2012) provides a technical standard for monitoring sites which requires
14 or more consecutive days [between 5% and 12.5% of the growing season] of flooding, ponding,
and/or a water table 12 inches or less below the soil surface during the growing season to indicate
sufficient hydrology is present for wetland establishment. Wetland hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation,
and hydric soils are the three conditions that must be present to determine the existence of a wetland.
Additional indicators listed in Table 1 are required to indicate sufficient hydrology is present for wetland
establishment, if the 14 consecutive day period is not met.
2.2 Primary Hydrology Indicators
Inundation and soil saturation within 12 inches from the surface for 14 consecutive days or greater
during the 2015 growing season are two of the primary hydrology indicators (Table 1) required by the

S:090636:120115

613

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (2012). Achieving one primary indicator in this Table provides a positive
wetland hydrology indicator.
If inundation or saturation is less than 14 consecutive days, one other primary or two secondary
hydrological indicators would be required to achieve wetland hydrology. Additional primary indicators
that provide evidence of extended periods of standing water and saturation are water marks, drift
deposits, drainage patterns, oxidized rhizospheres along living roots, hydrogen sulfide odor, presence of
reduced iron, recent iron reduction in tilled soils, thin mulch surface, sediment deposits, algal mat or
crust, iron deposits, inundation visible on aerial photography, sparsely vegetated concave surface, water
stained leaves, aquatic fauna, and marl deposits. Observation of any one of the primary criteria is a
positive indicator of wetland hydrology (Table 1).
2.3 Secondary Hydrology Indicators
Some wetland hydrological indicators are defined as secondary, as they do not always occur alone in
wetlands (Table 1). Thus, at least two secondary wetland hydrology indicators are required to provide a
positive indicator of wetland hydrology. Secondary hydrological indicators include water-stained leaves,
local soil survey data, FAC neutral test, surface soil cracks, drainage patterns, moss trim lines, dry season
water table, crayfish burrows, saturation visible on aerial photography, stunted or stressed plants,
geomorphic position, shallow aquitard, and micro-topographic relief. These observations are typically
used when no primary hydrology indicator has been readily observed and the vegetation is dominated by
hydrophytes.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

3.0

Methods
3.1 Hydrology Equipment

The monitoring of the primary hydrological indicators of saturation and inundation are two effective
measurement means for determining sufficient hydrology to support wetlands. For the Albany Phase II
restoration, a number of instrumentation devices and methods to measure site hydrology have been
installed and are described below.
3.1.1 Telogs
In 2012, sixteen 2 diameter x 48 deep PVC wells were installed and each fitted with a Telog water
level recorder consisting of an electronic data logger and a pressure sensitive transducer to provide
constant water level monitoring. Each Telog was protected by a steel pipe and capped to prevent
rainfall entry and padlocked for security. Sixteen Telog locations were surveyed and mapped (Exhibit
1). During the first spring site visit (April 17 during the 2015 monitoring season), each shallow ground
water monitoring well housing a Telog unit is checked for damage or displacement by frost heave, and
each Telog unit is inspected and tested for proper functioning. Winter data is downloaded and units are
recalibrated as necessary. Telogs are thereafter downloaded monthly through mid-October, 2015.
Telog data was used to produce the hydrographs in Exhibit 3 depicting daily water levels, above or
below the ground surface, during the monitoring period from April 1 through mid-October, 2015.
In soil, capillary action causes water to raise in the soil pores to form the capillary fringe above the free
standing water table. The capillary zone is comprised of saturated soil. The height of capillary rise is
dependent on the soil texture. The soils at Albany are fine sand, and a study was initiated in 2012 to
collect core samples from four locations to estimate the average capillary rise (note: the capillary rise
analysis was presented in the 2012 Compliance Report in the Soil & Hydrologic Monitoring section; see
Attachment J-8 in that section entitled Capillary Rise Evaluation). The average capillary rise was
determined at that time to be 16 inches with a standard deviation of 5 inches. Since the Telog unit
measures the free standing water in the well, soil saturation within 12 inches of the soil would be
reflected by a water level reading of 28 inches below the surface.
3.1.2 Soil Moisture Meters
Unlike the Telog units which are left in place and operational through the winter months, the soil
moisture meters are removed for cleaning and storage at the close of the hydro monitoring season to
prevent freeze-thaw damage to the units. In 2015, re-installation of the moisture meters occurred on
April 17. Following installation protocols, two Decagon EC-5 soil moisture volumetric water content
sensors were re-installed at each of the six locations shown in Exhibit 1, generally in the transitional
zone between wetland and upland settings. Moisture sensors were placed at depths of 6 and 12 inches
to measure the soil moisture volumetric water content at those depths within the rooting zone. The
moisture sensors are placed at depths that exceed four inches to minimize or avoid temperature effects
on soil moisture results. The moisture meter data for each of the two soil depths was used to produce a
soil saturation graph for each unit. A reading of 0.300 is considered the point of saturation on the
graph. Either the 6 or 12 depth can be used as the indicator of soil saturation. In a previous report
(see Attachment J-9 in the 2012 Compliance Report), the results of the porosity analyses conducted
adjacent to each sensor at that time are discussed. These values are used to calibrate the sensors at the
beginning of each hydro monitoring season.

3.1.3 Soil Moisture Probes


Additional monitoring conducted previously in 2012 included the use of soil moisture probes to
qualitatively measure soil moisture content. These instruments were determined to be vulnerable to
abrasion damage in the sites sandy soils, and thus at risk of producing less than reliable data over time.
As a result, the use of the probes was discontinued at the end of the 2012 monitoring season.
3.1.4 Existing Piezometers
Six existing piezometers located along the original baseline transects E-1 and E-2 east of the landfill
(shown in Exhibit 1) had ground water elevation measured once during the months of April, June,
August and October. This monitoring provided additional ground water measurements just southeast
of the stream restoration.
4.0 Results
4.1 Precipitation
The establishment of wetlands is contingent on annual precipitation events and ground water. Previous
experience found that initially, annual precipitation events will be more important for establishing the
necessary hydrology. The precipitation recorded for March through October 15, 2015 at the Albany
Airport is shown in Exhibit 2.
Extreme and atypical precipitation patterns have characterized the growing and non-growing season
conditions since the establishment of wetlands on the Albany site. The extremely droughty 2012
growing season started with a significant precipitation deficit due to low rainfall and snow accumulations
during the previous six months. This trend continued with almost no rainfall until the third week in
April, with below normal precipitation occurring in most months through the growing season with the
exception of May and September, which were wetter than normal. Again in 2013, the season started with
below normal precipitation, but picked up beginning in May and continued through July with record
rainfall amounts. In 2014, the season started with below normal rainfall followed by slightly higher than
normal precipitation in June and July. This resulted in 5.74 less precipitation than a normal growing
season and 12.43 less than the 2013 growing season.
In 2015, once again the season started with below normal rainfall accumulation, with a deficit of 5.59
inches within the first three months starting in March compared to normal precipitation amounts of 9.99
inches for that time perioda deficit of nearly half. None of the rainfall events during that period
exceeded one inch of accumulation, and protracted periods of drought of up to two weeks in length
occurred with no or only trace amounts of precipitation occurring. By June, a wetter pattern developed
through much of the remainder of the growing season, with below normal precipitation occurring only in
the month of July (-0.70 inches), along with a drier than normal first half of the month of October with
less than an inch of accumulation. In total, during the months of June through September, 21.34 inches
of measurable rainfall was recorded, compared to normal precipitation amounts for that period of 14.7
inches or an excess of 6.64 inches. During that period, five of the rainfall events exceeded one inch, one
of which measured 2.74 inches. In spite of atypical weather patterns, over the entire growing season,
total precipitation amounts approached normal.

4.2 Telog Data


The Telog data are presented in graphic format in Exhibit 3. In 2015, 11 of the 16 Telogs had soil
saturation levels in excess of the 14 consecutive days of water levels within the required soil depth during
the growing season (Table 2). This is inconsistent with the previous years performance, when a total of
13 Telogs measured desired saturation levels. Furthermore, due to rainfall deficits during March and the
first two months of the growing season (April and May) 11 of the 16 Telogs (69%) showed a 13% 80%
reduction in the number of consecutive days with target saturation levels. Curiously, in spite of the
droughty conditions, three Telogs showed a slight to significant increase in the number of consecutive
days compared to last season (Telogs T-10, 22 more days; T-11, 1 more day; and T-16, 42 more days).
Telogs T-3, T-11, and T-14 continue to fail to meet the fourteen consecutive day standard as in previous
years, likely due to local drainage effects, as described below.

As reported previously, T-3 is located at the edge of an upland sand prairie peninsula which
transitions into the forested wetland community and sedge meadow. Vegetation in the vicinity of
T-3 is represented in part by transects DS-1 and the north end of P2-2. The Telog is located near
the top of the short slope where vegetation data (see transect DS-1 data for quadrats 5 and 6 in
the Ecological Monitoring section of the Compliance Report) suggests upland and wetland
vegetation transition rather abruptly from dry prairie to vegetation dominated by hydrophytic
species. The elevation of T-3 relative to the position of the vegetation quadrats indicates,
however, that the Telog is in a location that should be supporting hydrophytic species.
Differences between ground water and depth to saturated conditions between T-3 and nearby T2 suggest that local drainage conditions may continue to be contributing to the anomalous
readings at T-3. For example, the difference in ground elevation between T-3 (303.33) and T-2
(303.20) is only 1.6 inches, yet the difference of depth to saturated conditions is on average 1.5
feet (based on 2012 April data). T-1, on the other hand, which is aligned with T-2 and T-3 on the
hydrological gradient, is set at ground elevation 305.00. Between T-1 and T-2 is a drop in
ground elevation of 1.8 feet in conjunction with a 1.0 foot drop in depth to saturated soil
elevation, while between T-2 and T-3 is a drop in ground elevation of only 1.6 inches, but a drop
in depth to saturated soil elevation of 1.57 feet.
T-11 is located off of the west end of the large central dune and near the east end of transect P23. Vegetation in this forested wetland area appears to be slightly better drained and currently
dominated by facultative upland (FACU) and upland (UPL) species. The planned application of
PAM and bentonite clay in this location in 2015 is intended to improve water holding capacity of
the soil in order to accelerate establishment of hydrophytic vegetation as designed. The
observable positive effect of this application may be delayed until next growing season, due to the
droughty conditions of 2015. This season, although there was an overall reduction in the number
of species documented in this area, including a number of both FACU and FACW species, the
proportion of hydrophytic species remained just slightly over 50% and slightly higher than last
season.
Telog 14 is located on the narrow berm separating the southern stream from the eastern biofilter
pond. The edge of the berm, where the Telog is located, is likely being effectively drained by the
adjacent biofilter basin, or perhaps separated from the hydrology in that location by a clay lens.

4.3 Soil Moisture Meter Data


The Soil Moisture Meter data are shown in Exhibit 4. In 2015, three of the units (SM-1, 2, and 3) exceeded
the 14 consecutive day standard, SM-1 at both 6 inch and 12 inch depths, and SM-2 and SM-3 at either the
12 inch or 6 inch depths, respectively (Table 3). Due to the droughty conditions, particularly in the early
S:090636:120115

617

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

part of the 2015 growing season, when these units typically begin to record consistent target moisture levels
and continue on through the end of the growing season as in 2013 and 2014, the number of consecutive
days in 2015 dropped from half to more than 80% of the previously recorded number of days.
Units SM-4, 5 and 6 failed to meet the 14 day standard, as in droughty 2014. Interestingly in 2013, a very
wet year, SM-4 had recorded moisture levels at or well above the target saturation levels (3.00 on the chart)
for 187 consecutive days, compared to only 11 days in 2014 and 7 days in 2015, either reflecting sensitivity
to the droughty conditions of the latter two years or possibly to other localized changes. Rainfall deficits
during the early growing season in both 2014 and 2015 make it unlikely that performance would have been
achieved but for the late start to the monitoring season.
Relative to SM-4 (positioned at a ground elevation of 301.1), SM-5 positioned at 301.2 and SM-6 at 300.1,
although down the hydrological gradient, have had, at least in the past, significantly different results, further
suggesting influence by local drainage effects as with the non-performing Telogs discussed previously. SM5 and SM-6 are in locations that did not receive the top dressing of organic hydric soils excavated from the
landfill expansion area, and as a result did not develop the denser ground cover vegetation that quickly
established in those areas that did receive this treatment, such as the area where SM-4 is located.
Applications of PAM and bentonite clay during late 2015 in the vicinity of SM-5 and SM-6 will be
monitored for their ability to enhance moisture retention in the soils in this transitional wetland area.
4.4 Existing Piezometer Data
Ground water level measurements in the six existing piezometers are shown in Exhibit 5. Of the six
wells (A1-3 and B1-3) monitored during the months of April, June, August, and October, only three
readings (B2 in May and August, and B3 in August) failed to show saturation within the rooting zone by
2.5 to 6 inches. Based on measurements taken in these six wells located along early baseline transects in
the Phase III area, saturated ground water elevations in this sector of Phase III range from 287.06 to
289.34 feet during the 2015 growing season. Compared to elevations measured in 2014, the saturation
zone dropped only slightly, reflecting the overall droughty conditions of the 2015 growing season.

5.0 Discussion and Conclusions


The 2015 monitoring of hydrological performance of the Phase II restoration represents the fourth full
growing season of the project following construction. Hydrological monitoring will continue to be
evaluated annually by the monitoring program. Long-term hydrology monitoring is required to evaluate
the overall project effectiveness in restoring wetland habitat.
As in 2014, rainfall patterns during 2015 demonstrated significantly lower precipitation levels compared
to the wet growing season of 2013, although periods of intense rainfall did occur during 2015,
particularly mid to late season. Periods of extended drought have reduced moisture availability and
negatively influenced growing conditions along wetland margins, as reflected in the soil moisture meter
results in those locations (SM-4, 5, and 6). Where topsoil dressing did not occur at the time of
construction, applications of PAM and bentonite clay, which have occurred during early and late 2015 in
approved locations in Phase II wetlands, will begin to improve the moisture holding capacity of the
sandy soil. These benefits will be amplified, as above and below ground vegetative biomass increases and
organic matter from senescing plants and roots is incorporated into the soils. Interactions by soil fauna
and other wildlife inhabiting the restoration will enhance these soil-building benefits.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

In 2015, eleven of the sixteen Telogs located within Phase II restored wetland zones, as well as the six
baseline piezometers located in the existing Phase III forested wetlands, met or exceeded the 14
consecutive days of saturation and/or inundation required to achieve the one primary indicator of
wetland conditions. Three of the six soil moisture meters located in the transitional boundary between
upland and wetland areas likewise met or exceeded the 14 consecutive day requirement.
Due to a persistent pattern of extended periods of drought that began in 2014 and extended into 2015, a
significant reduction in the number of consecutive days was measured at most monitoring locations in
2015. While the majority of the wetland areas have and continue to achieve the necessary hydrology to
sustain restored wetland vegetation, some hydrological transitional areas of the site (such as areas
represented by Telogs 11 and Moisture Meters 5 and 6) will require intervention to accelerate the
establishment of slowly developing hydrophytic vegetation. Such areas include forested wetland
communities that did not receive a top dressing of salvageable organic hydric soils from the landfill
expansion area, a material that was in limited supply. Areas that did receive this top dressing quickly
established hydrophytic vegetation due to the existing soil seedbank contained in the material, which
augmented the native seeding and enhancement planting that occurred throughout the restoration area,
as well as the added moisture holding capacity of the organic soil. Section F of this document discusses
the wetland modifications performed in 2015, such as application of PAM and bentonite clay, to address
these hydrological issues.
6.0 Planned Hydrological Activities for 2016

Continue hydrological monitoring of Telogs and soil moisture meters throughout 2016.

Monitor success of remedial actions taken during 2015, including applying granular PAM in
approved areas where hydrology is under-performing to accelerate hydrophytic vegetation
establishment, and adjusting elevations in the Pump House area to achieve target hydrology in
that location as designed.

Attachment J. Ecological Monitoring Compliance Report


Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
This section presents the results of the 2015 ecological monitoring program for vegetation and faunal
resources at the Albany Rapp Road Landfill restoration project. The results of this monitoring effort
are presented in the appended reports in Attachments J-1 PII & PIII Vegetation Monitoring prepared
by AES, with field and graphic assistance from CHA, and Attachment J-2 2015 Wildlife Surveys
Report prepared by CHA and AES.
Fourth-year, post-construction vegetation monitoring was scheduled and executed in the Phase II
restoration area in 2015. A single transect (P3-1) had been established and sampled in the Phase III
enhancement area in 2012 to measure pre-treatment conditions, in order to provide a baseline for
comparing enhancement treatment effects in subsequent years as part of the site vegetation
monitoring effort. Phase III enhancement clearing and thinning activities were initiated in late 2012
and were largely completed by the end of 2013, with some minor woody management conducted
along with native seeding conducted in 2014. Invasive species management continued throughout the
Phase III enhancement area during 2015. Monitoring of the Phase III transect P3-1 was conducted in
2013 and 2014, making 2015 the third-year monitoring season. Baseline transects E-1, E-2, and E-3
located in the southeastern sector of the site were also monitored during the 2015 monitoring period.
These transects had not been monitored since 2010, making 2015 the first year of monitoring in this
sector of the site following substantial enhancement activities were completed, largely focused on
invasive species management and canopy thinning in upland settings.
Monitoring protocols and methods for both vegetation and faunal surveys follow those contained in
Appendix 3 Monitoring Plan & Performance Criteria in the Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem
Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan. Existing conditions at the time of the monitoring
effort represent vegetation establishment in the Phase II areas following construction activities that
occurred in mid to late 2011, including dormant seeding of cover and native seed in late 2011,
followed in spring 2012 by installation of live plant plugs in Phase II areas, particularly to ensure
stable conditions in riparian areas and on banks within the stream corridor. Climatic conditions
following the 2012 plantings included extremely high temperatures and prolonged drought, which
may have had an impact on some newly establishing plants, particularly in upland and transitional
settings along the hydrological gradient. Dormant seeding and early installation of plugs in spring,
however, gave germinating seeds and young plant plugs a good start, resulting in overall success of the
first year of vegetation establishment in spite of the drought. Ongoing invasive species management
has been the principal management acitivity in Phase II areas, along with a number of wetland and
stream enhancement activities as described in annual work plans.
Pre-construction faunal surveys were initiated in fall 2009 to establish baseline conditions in the
project area. Construction began in 2010 and continued through 2011 to establish the designed and
wetlands and uplands. Surveys were continued during this time period. Phase III enhancement work
began in 2012 and continued through 2013, involving canopy and understory thinning and removal of

exotic shrubs, and into 2014 with seeding of native species and continued maintenance within all areas
to control invasive species and to ensure establishment of the desired vegetation. As in 2013 and
2014, the faunal surveys conducted this year (2015), are considered post-construction surveys, asthe
bulk of the habitat creation was completed under Phases I and II in 2011 and 2012. In future phases
of the project, the landfill cap will be converted to Pitch Pine Scrub Oak Barrens habitat, but cannot
begin until the results of the vegetation test plots are analyzed and a plan for placing sand and
establishing vegetation is developed. As a result, changes will continue to occur across the restoration
areas over the next several years that may continue to effect wildlife use in some areas. The
restoration project is a long-term effort.
Work Activities
Vegetation monitoring investigations were conducted August 1 7, 2015 by the Citys ecological
team. This monitoring effort was conducted, as in 2012, 2013, and 2014, in Phase II constructed
upland, wetland, and stream corridors, and in the Phase III Enhancement area. A separate
monitoring report (Attachment E Test Plot Planting, Maintenance & Monitoring) presents the results
of vegetation monitoring in the test plots on the GAL portion of the landfill. Periodic inspections
occurred throughout the growing season to assess site stability and success of the PII and PIII
restoration and enhancement activities. These inspections occurred in conjunction with invasive
species management, assessment of tree browse damage, monitoring of lupine populations, and
regular SWPPP inspections.
Post-construction faunal surveys were conducted throughout the 2015 season as planned.
Deviations from Work Plan
There were no deviations in scheduling and applying the vegetation and faunal monitoring methods as
outlined in the 2015 Work Plan.

Introduction

This report presents the results of the fourth-year (2015) vegetation monitoring efforts conducted in
the Phase II wetland and stream restoration area, the third-year vegetation monitoring in the Phase III
enhancement area (P3-1), and the first-year monitoring in Phase III (E1, E2, and E3). Monitoring
requirements, performance standards, and methods for monitoring vegetation success follow those
contained in Appendix 3 Monitoring Plan & Performance Criteria in the Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan.
2.

Monitoring Requirements & Performance Standards

2.1

Restoration Milestones

A proposed Management/Maintenance Timeline was presented in the permited monitoring plan to


define milestones in completing the restoration project. This timeline distinguishes the periods of
active restoration, short-term and long-term management, and long-term maintenance. Based on
these definitions, the Phase II restoration is currently transitioning from the active restoration period
to the short-term management period where the focus of management activities is on ensuring site
stability. The results of the 2015 vegetation monitoring effort represent the end of the fourth year
growing season following the fall dormant native seeding and the spring 2012 installation of live plant
plugs. Following this timeline, 2016 will represent year 5 of the Phase II restoration.
2.2

Performance Standards

A set of performance criteria were laid out in the permited monitoring plan to assess the success of
the restored plant communities, including wetlands. The results of annual quantitative vegetation
monitoring and hydrological data analysis will be used to measure performance and determine
compliance according to the following standards.
Hydrology
Wetland status
Jurisdictional Status: Wetlands created or restored for credit shall meet the criteria for wetlands
detailed in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, or other such Federal manual
used by the Corps at the time the mitigation bank was established, as well as the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law, Article 24 (Wetlands) standards.
The 1987 US Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual indicates that an area exhibits wetland
hydrology if it is inundated or saturated within 12 inches of the surface on consecutive days for at
least 12.5% of the growing season (Primary Hydrology Indicator). If an area is inundated or saturated
for between 5% and 12.5% of the growing season the area must meet at least one primary hydrology
indicator and/or two secondary hydrology indicators to exhibit wetland hydrology. Areas inundated
or saturated for less than 5% do not exhibit wetland hydrology and therefore, are not wetlands.
According to the local NRCS Office, the average growing season in Albany County is 147 days (May
15th October 25). Based on the 2012 USACE Northcentral and Northeast Regional Supplement to
the Wetland Delineation Manual, if inundation or saturation is within 12 inches of the surface for a

S:090636:120115

654

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

minimum 14 consecutive days in Albany County the primary hydrology criteria has been achieved. If
not, additional data will be analyzed and the use of additional primary and secondary hydrology
criteria will be evaluated.
Telogs
Telogs will be used as the primary means to measure inundation and saturation (Primary Hydrology
Indicator). In addition to Telogs, soil moisture recorders, and a soil moisture probe will also used to
measure for soil saturation.
Sixteen automatic water level recorders (i.e. Telogs) and 6 soil moisture level recorders will be installed
at the site in areas designed to be wetlands to measure the water levels above and below ground and
the soil moisture. The automatic water level recorder will provide a constant record of water level
through electronic measurements via a pressure sensitive transducer.
Soil Moisture Recorders
The soil moisture recorders provide an electronic measurement of the level of moisture in the soil. The
data will be downloaded from the automatic water level recorders and soil moisture recorders and
graphically displayed. The soil moisture recorder measures the dielectric constant of soil in order to
determine its volumetric water content. Six soil moisture recorders will be installed on the site. There
will be two different probe depths in each unit. One will record data at 6 inches below the grounds
surface and the second will record data at 12 inches below the surface. During operation, values of 0.0
to 0.4 m3/m3 are possible. A value of 0.0 to 0.1 m3/m3 indicates oven dry to dry soil, respectively. A
value of 0.3 to 0.4 m3/m3 indicates wet to saturated soil. Thus, any value of 0.3 or greater will be
indicative of a saturated soil. These soil saturation levels, which will promote the growth of a
predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, will have a value 0f 0.3 or greater within 12 of the ground
surface for a minimum of 19 consecutive days in Albany County.
Soil Moisture Meter Probe
A Soil Moisture probe will also be used along several transects to measure the soil moisture content
within 12 inches of the soil surface in areas between the Telogs and soil moisture meters. Several
transects will start in an existing wetland and will extend upslope to an upland zone. Following
calibration of the moisture meter in 100% saturated soils, the probe will record soil moisture values
every 20 meters along each transects to a depth of 12 inches. Each point will be surveyed using a
hand-held GPS unit. A soil moisture meter probe value of 0 represents Dry (0% saturation) soil;
values of 2-4 represent Average to Dry soil; values of 4-6 represent Average soil moisture, and values
greater than 7 generally represent saturated soils. Data collected will be summarized and provide
supporting data for achievement of the hydrology performance standard. [Note: due to wear damage
caused by use of the instrument in abrasive sand, its use was discontinued out of concern that, as the
tip wear increased, the accuracy of the data became less reliable.]
Primary and Secondary Hydrology Indicators
The Corps 1987 Wetland Delineation manual states a site must exhibit one or more Primary
Hydrology Indicators and/or two or more Secondary Hydrology Indicators to meet wetland
hydrology requirement.
Primary and secondary hydrology indicators such as drainage patterns, soil survey data, and
hydrophytic vegetation dominance (Fac-Neutral Test) will also be evaluated for achievement of the
hydrology performance standard.

Local Hydric Soil Map.


The historic Albany County Soil Survey maps showed nearly all lower ground soils in the [former]
Mobile Home Park to have been hydric soils that were filled during sand mining and subsequent land
leveling conducted to support the existing Mobile Home Park. The historic soil types in this location
are somewhat poorly drained and hydric soils in the County. These soil types were confirmed during
site visits. The presence of mapped hydric soils is another secondary indicator of hydrology.
A wetland delineation with a GPS boundary survey of wetlands and natural community mapping will
be conducted in the spring, beginning in year 2 and be conducted again in years 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 of
the ten-year monitoring period that begins in 2012.
Vegetation
Species Composition
Species selected for the planting shall be native to the county where the mitigation site is located and
shall be appropriate for the hydrologic zone to be planted. A minimum number of native perennial
species proposed for establishment must be present within each plant community to meet
performance standards are as follows:
-Pine barrens vernal pond minimum of 12 native perennial species
-Sedge meadow/wet prairie minimum of 20 native perennial species
-Dry prairie (buffer) minimum of 20 native perennial species
-Forested wetland minimum of 12 native perennial species
In addition, at least 50% of the required minimum number of species must occur at a 10% frequency
or greater by year 5.
Species Dominance
Dominance shall be determined by calculating importance values (IV), with at least two parameters,
frequency and cover, used to calculate species importance. Cattails (Typha spp), reed canary grass
(Phalaris arundinacea), and non-native species shall cumulatively comprise not more than 20% of the
total dominance measure for each community for which credit is granted. The native perennial species
within each wetland plant community shall represent at least 70% of the total dominance measure.

Line Transects & Nested Meter Square Sample Quadrats

Permanent line transects, each 50 meters in length, were established in nine locations throughout the
Phase II restoration area, selected to represent the major restored wetland communities (see locations
in Figures 01, 01A, and 01B PII/PIII Vegetation Monitoring Map and Enlargements). Each of the
newly established transects were located to fall completely within the constructed planting zones.
Selected baseline transects, 100 meters in length, that lie within the Phase II restoration area were
resampled. The baseline trasects intercept multiple constructed planting zones. Transects were
initially delineated on a map of the as-built PII restoration site, then subsequently laid out in the field
and adjusted to represent as accurately as possible the designed restored plant communities. Transect
end points were staked and located using GPS, and used to prepare the final transect location map. A
summary and description of the sampled transects is presented in Table 1 Phase II & III Vegetation
Monitoring Summary.
Circular sample quadrats, 1m2 in area, were placed at 5-meter intervals along each 50-meter transect
and at 10-meter intervals along each 100-meter transect, centered over a meter tape pulled between
the transect end points. This resulted in sampling 10 quadrats in each transect. At each sample
quadrat the plant cover representing the herbaceous vegetation layer (all plant cover, both woody and
herbaceous, less than 1.0 meter in height) was measured as percent cover, a measure of the vertical
projection of photosynthetic leaf area. Ground surface (substrate) cover by non-plant types, including
bare soil, fine and coarse litter (1 hour combustible fuels and >1 hour combustible fuels, respectively),
bryophytes (mosses, lichens, liverworts), rock, and water were measured independently as percent
cover.
The following measures will be derived from the cover data collected from each quadrat:
Relative frequency of occurrence for each plant species (percent of the total number of sample
quadrats in which each species occurs)
Richness measured by the number of plant species recored in the study transects and by
surveying the transect vicinity in a separate floristic inventory
Absolute cover (AC) and relative cover (RC)
Importance Value (IV), the summation of relative cover and relative frequency of occurrence
for a given species
IV, percent cover, and frequency of occurrence data will be calculated for each plant species
for each transect, community type, and overall site performance level
Erosion control effectiveness (average +/- standard deviation for percent bare soil and
percent total plant and substrate cover per quadrat)
3.2

Floristic Inventory

Plant species richness was sampled in the vicinity of each study transect and surrounding area within
the represented plant community type. All native and non-native (adventive) species were documented
while systematically walking through the search area to optimize encountering new species. These plant

S:090636:120115

657

lists typically locate in excess of 90% of the species within the search area. The data are used along with
data from the quadrat sampling effort to compile a total species list for the site, and to develop species
lists for each transect.
3.3

Nested Belt TransectsWoody Canopy Intercept, Stem Density & Basal Area

Woody vegetation equal to or greater than 1.0 meter in height was sampled along the identical 50-meter
and 100-meter linear study transects laid out for sampling the herbaceous layer. Canopy intercept was
measured by the vertical projection of photosynthetic leaf area over the lineal distance of transect tape.
Two parallel 1.0 meter wide belts were nested on each side of each transect to measure shrub stem
densities (counts of stems 2 inches dbh within the meter-wide belt on the right side of the transect)
and tree diameters (stems > 2 inches dbh within both meter-wide belts on either side of the transect).
The following measures were derived from the data collected from each belt transect:
Percent canopy intercept for each species
Number of stems per hectare for each woody plant species
Basal area per hectare for trees > 2 inches dbh
Survivorship (measured as alive or dead canopy intercept)
3.4

Comparison of Permanent Transects with Annually Randomized Transects In


Representative Community Types

Three randomized transects were established along with the permanent transects. In 2012, three
random transects were established (R-1, R-2, and R-3). These transects were extensions of the first
three permanent transects sampled on site, and were included in the same dominant forested wetland
plant communities as the permanent transects. In 2013, randomized transects were relocated using a
random numbers table to generate three separate numbers. Each number was used to equate with the
number of degrees that one of the original random transects would be pivoted away from its original
trajectory from its 0-meter point. Random transects were sampled using the same methods as the
permanent transects. Data were compared statistically with the analysis from the permanent transects.
The statistical comparison evaluates whether the paired samples are from significantly similar
populations, and if so, confirm the assumption of random sampling, which strengthens statistical
robustness.
3.5

Photo Documentation

Conditions in each transect were photo documented from the 0m and 50m end points of the 50meter long transects, and from the 0m, 50m, and 100m locations of the 100-meter long transects.
Photos taken from the last position of each transect were directed back over the transect. Photos
were archived with labels identifying the transect label and direction of view.
4.

Results

All transect and floristic inventory data and photo documentation have been summarized and
presented in a series of attachments (Attachments 1 8). This information is further summarized and
tabulated for documenting and assessing site performance (Tables 2 4). Table 1 provides a

summary of the transect and sampling information to accompany the transect location maps in
Figures 01, 01A, and 01B.
4.1

Data Summary Analysis

All plant species recorded in transects and floristic inventories, were compiled to create a master
species list representing the site in 2015 (Attachment 1). This floristic data was analyzed by species to
provide taxonomic and functional criteria useful for assessing vegetation performance: scientific and
common names, family classification, physiognomy, native versus non-native (adventive) status,
wetland classification, rare species, nectar/larval food, and seeded/planted species. This floristic
analysis was completed for a composite of the species lists generated from the quadrat data
(Attachment 2), and for individual and composite floristic inventories conducted in the vicinity of
each transect (Attachments 4 and 5). Raw quadrat data was analyzed to generate frequency, cover,
and importance values for each transect in Attachment 3. Woody data is presented in Attachments 6
and 7. Transect photos are presented in Attachment 8.
4.2

Performance

The 2015 fourth-year data provide a measure of species composition and dominance to compare to
site performance criteria, which apply to year 5 of the restoration.
Species Composition
A minimum number of native perennial species proposed for establishment must be present within
each plant community to meet performance standards are as follows:

Pine barrens vernal pond minimum of 12 native perennial species: transect DS3 bisects the
created pine barrens vernal pond. In 2015, a total of 76 species representing 29 vascular palnt
families were recorded during the floristic inventory in this location, 69 (90.8%) species of
which are native pine barrens species, 60 (78.9%) are perennial forb, grasses, and sedges, 56
(73.7%) are hydrophytic species, and 33 (43.4%) were introduced as seed and plants. This is
compared to 2013, when a total of 86 species representing 27 vascular plant familes were
recorded during the floristic inventory in this location, 73 (84.9%) species of which were
native pine barrens species, 60 (69.8%) were perennial forb, grasses, and sedges, 62 (72.1%)
were hydrophytic species, and 36 (41.9%) were introduced as seed and plants.
Sedge meadow/wet prairie minimum of 20 native perennial species: segments of transects
DS1 and DS2 bisect the created sedge meadow. In DS2, which bisects the greater extent of
sedge meadow, a total of 71 species representing 27 vascular plant familes were recorded
during the 2015 floristic inventory in this location, 62 (87.3%) species of which are native pine
barrens species, 56 (78.9%) are perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 44 (70.0%) are
hydrophytic species, and 31 (43.7%) were introduced as seed and plants. This is compared to
2013, when a total of 107 species representing 31 vascular plant familes were recorded during
the floristic inventory in this location, 82 (76.6%) species of which were native pine barrens
species, 71 (66.3%) were perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 58 (54.2%) were hydrophytic
species, and 38 (35.5%) were introduced as seed and plants. And, in 2014 when a total of 99
species representing 30 vascular plant familes were recorded during the 2014 floristic
inventory in this location, 81 (81.8%) species of which are native pine barrens species, 67

(67.7%) are perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 54 (54.5%) were hydrophytic species, and 44
(44.4%) were introduced as seed and plants.
Dry prairie (buffer) minimum of 20 native perennial species: transects DS1, DS2, and DS3 all
have minimal segments that bisect the Dry Prairie/Sand Flat and Pitch Pine-Scrub Oak
Barrens upland communities. In DS1, which intercepts a significant segment of created
upland barrens, a total of 79 species representing 29 vascular plant familes were recorded
during the 2015 floristic inventory in this location, 67 (84.8%) species of which are native pine
barrens species, 60 (79.9%) are perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 25 (31.6%) are nonhydrophytic species, and 28 (35.4%) were introduced as seed and plants. This is compared to
2013, when a total of 99 species representing 31 vascular plant familes were recorded during
the floristic inventory in this location, 83 (83.8%) species of which were native pine barrens
species, 68 (68.6%) were perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 37 (37.4%) were nonhydrophytic species, and 40 (40.4%) were introduced as seed and plants. And, in 2014, when
a total of 118 species representing 35 vascular plant familes were recorded during the 2014
floristic inventory in this location, 95 (80.5%) species of which are native pine barrens species,
81 (68.6%) are perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 40 (33.9%) are non-hydrophytic species,
and 37 (31.4%) were introduced as seed and plants.
Forested wetland minimum of 12 native perennial species: transects P2-1 through P2-9, E4
and E6, and three random transects (R-10, R-11, and R-12) intercept created forested wetland
and forest riparian wetland. In 2015, an average of 65 total species representing 26 vascular
families were recorded during the floristic inventory in these locations, 55 (84.6%) of which
are native Pine Barrens species, 43 (66.2%) of which are perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges,
39 (60.0%) are hydrophytic species, and 34 (52.3%) were introduced as seed and plants. This is
compared to 2013, when an average of 67 total species representing 28 vascular families were
recorded, 55 (82.1%) of which are native Pine Barrens species, 42 (62.7%) of which were
perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 42 (62.7%) were hydrophytic species, and 26 (38.8%)
were introduced as seed and plants. And, compared to 2014, when an average of 77 total
species representing 28 vascular families were recorded during the floristic inventory in these
locations, 65 (84.4%) of which were native Pine Barrens species, 54 (70.1%) of which are
perennial forbs, grasses, and sedges, 48 (62.3%) are hydrophytic species, and 35 (45.5%) were
introduced as seed and plants.
At least 50% of the required minimum number of species must occur at a 10% frequency or
greater by year 5 (occurring in 1 or more quadrats within each transect). In 2015, in the fourth
year of establishment, all of the communities have achieved this minimum (see table below).

(Phalaris arundinacea), and non-native species shall cumulatively comprise not more than 20% of the
total dominance measure for each community for which credit is granted. The native perennial species
within each wetland plant community shall represent at least 70% of the total dominance measure. At
the close of the 2015 year-four growing season, of the 17 transects sampled in the Phase II area,
including selected baseline transects E4 and E6, 15 or all but two, P2-3 and P2-4 (highlighted in the
table below), meet the not-more-than 20% adventive criterion, and 13 or all but four transects, P2-2,
P2-3, P2-4, and R-12, meet the 70% or more dominance by perennial native species criterion
(highlighted in the table below). This remains a significant improvement compared to 2013, when
only 10 of the 17 met the not-more-than 20% adventive (non-native) criterion, and only 5 met the
70% or more dominance by perennial native species criterion. Compared to 2014, when 14 or all but
three, P2-3, P2-4, and P2-5, met the not-more-than 20% adventive (non-native) criterion, and all 17
transects met the 70% or more dominance by perennial native species criterion. The actual
importance values of non-native species also show a significant decline in over half of the transects,
while four of the PII transects demonstrated a signicant decline in the importance of perennial native
species in four of the 17 transects.

Discussion

The fourth year monitoring results of the Phase II wetland restoration demonstrate that the
performance standard for species composition according to the permit has been met, and in fact
continues to be exceeded. Overall site stability has been on a positive trajectory with significant
increases by native cover in most areas of the site.
Based on a comparison of the summarized data documented during 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 in all
of the PII transects (see Table 2 in each document, which lists and classifies the three most dominant
species and summarizes key cover categories of plant, bare soil, and fine litter), the 2015 growing
season has maintained a positive trend in all categories in achieving target performances. Of the 63
dominant species compared, 54 of the 63 (85.7%) are natives, representing a 3.2% decrease from
88.9% in 2014. Of the 63, 37 (58.7%) are hydrophytic species, representing a decrease of 6.1% from
64.8% in 2014. In the cover categories, there has been a modest increase in average overall vegetative
cover of 1.4% (from 98% to 99.4%), a decrease in bare soil of 1.6% (from 9.0% to 7.4%), and an
increase in average cover by fine litter (from 45% to 57.4%). This is compared to the analysis in 2014,

S:090636:120115

661

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

when of the 54 dominant species compared, 48 of the 54 (88.9%) were natives, representing an 11%
increase from 78% in 2013. Of the 54, 35 (64.8%) were hydrophytic species, representing no change
from 65% in 2013. In the cover categories, there was an increase in overall vegetative cover of 7%
(from 91% to 98%), a decrease in bare soil of 9.5% (from 18.5% to 9.0%), and no change in cover by
fine litter (from 46% to 45%).
Of the 352 total species recorded onsite in 2015, 274 (77.8%) are native species, 143 (40.6%) of which
were seeded and planted, and 189 (53.7%) of which are hydrophytic species (see Attachment 1 Master
Species List, Summary Floristic Analysis at the bottom of the list). This is compared to the 438 total
species recorded onsite in 2013, 315 (71.9%) of which were native species, 111 (25.3%) of which were
seeded and planted, and 214 (48.9%) of which were hydrophytic species. And, in 2014, when the total
species recorded was 360, 278 (77.2%) which were native species, 85 (23.6%) of which were seeded
and planted, and 200 (55.6%) of which were hydrophytic species. These results show a slight decrease
in total number of species, but ratio of native to non-native has remained stable. The number of
recorded seeded and planted species has doubled, which is not uncommon given some species in the
seed mix are slow-to-germinate species. A 5% decline by totatl hydrophytes may reflect the droughty
conditions in the early part of the growing season, which has been a trend for the past two growing
seasons. Overall declines in species diversity in restoration projects are also not uncommon due to
increasing competition as perennial species become well established. Within the study transects and
associated species search results (see Table 4 Floristic Monitring Data Summary) the results are
variable, but generally show stable to increasing percentages of native species.
Species dominance in the fourth year, based on the three species with the highest importance values
in each transect indicates that dominance by perennial grasses, sedges, and forbs continues to develop.
As predicted in the 2012 and 2013 reports, the high numbers of native perennial forbs and graminoid
species documented in the transects during those times in the early establishment phase would ensure
a dominance by natives as these longer lived species establish roots and expand their cover. This
process continues to occur throughout the site. Some shifts in species importance have occurred,
most notably an increase in goldenrod and the annual composite daisy fleabane (Erigeron strigosus),
which was observed to proliferate in many regions of the country during the 2015 growing season.
Invasive species management has successfully reduced importance by partridge pea (Cassia fasciculata)
in many locations of the site, but this species continues to dominate some transect locations (P2-2,
P2-8, and R-12), where control efforts in 2016 should be focused. Other invasives dominating in
some transects include birds-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) along with other weedy natives in the
central sector of the site (P2-3, P2-4, R-10, and R-11), and Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) in
the eastern forested wetland sector of Phase III (E1, E2, and E3).
The results of hydrological monitoring for 2014 as reported in Attahment I Soil & Hydrological
Monitoring provide evidence that the majority of the wetland areas continue to demonstrate the
necessary hydrology to support the establishing wetland vegetation. Most sampled transects and
species search results support these findings, showing greater than 50% hydrophytic species present
based on the total number of species recorded. Some transitional areas within the forested wetland
community that did not receive a top dressing of salvageable hydric organic soils from the landfill
expansion construction activity continue to establish hydrophytic vegetation more slowly, following a
slow start during the hot and dry 2012 growing season and subsequent hot, droughty conditions
during critical periods of the 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. A wetland evaluation was conducted in
year 3 in Phase II and year 4 in Phase III, according to the permit, which assessed the presence of
other primary and secondary indicators to evaluate the overall project effectiveness in restoring

wetland habitat. A wetland compliance report based on a delineation and wetland community
assessment was conducted in 2014, and a similar delineation and assessment were conducted for
Phase III in 2015.

2013/2014, delaying
subsequent monitoring until
2015.
A 100m segment of original

INTRODUCTION

This report describes the results of the faunal surveys that were conducted from March 26, 2015
to October 27, 2015 within the Albany Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration &
Enhancement Plan restoration areas. The purpose of these surveys is to monitor the response of
species to restoration activities in the area, document any additional species that may have selfrelocated due to restoration activities, and provide continuous monitoring of existing/known
populations. The Post Construction Faunal Monitoring Plan, provided as Attachment 1 of this
document, identifies the study area as well as each transect and survey point location.
Wildlife survey efforts focused on state and federal threatened and endangered species (T&E),
species of special concern (SoSC), and species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) that have
the possibility to occur in the Pine Bush and surrounding lands. However, all detected species,
common and rare alike, were recorded. 2015 wildlife survey efforts have provided an
understanding of wildlife ecology (insect and animal species diversity and the places they
inhabit) during the fourth year of site development following the major grading and restoration
activities.

METHODOLOGY

Survey protocols are described in detail in Attachment 2. Mandated and/or recommended survey
protocols exist for some target species (i.e. Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis),
frosted elfin (Callophrys irus), American woodcock (Scolopax minor) and whip-poor-will
(Caprimulgus vociferus)). All species-specific protocols were repeated in 2015 (similar to 20112014 survey years). For species that do not have special protocols, standard survey practices
appropriate for each targeted species were used. Survey protocols were previously reviewed and
approved by the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission (APBPC) staff and the New York State
(NYS) Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). Unless otherwise mandated by
protocol, a minimum of two surveys were conducted during the appropriate timeframes and
under appropriate weather conditions.
To cover all target species, separate surveys were conducted using either line transects, point/trap
locations, anuran calling stations, or wandering passive searches. For diurnal moths and
butterflies, as well as insect and passive herpetofaunal (reptile and amphibian) surveys, ten
transects were established across the entire restoration and expansion areas. Passive walking

surveys were conducted along and adjacent to these transects. Surveys were conducted with one
to several biologists spread out over the transect corridor to cover as much land area as possible.
Reptiles and amphibians (herpetofauna) were surveyed by conducting wandering passive
searches and by using trapping arrays consisting of drift fence with pitfall traps and funnel traps.
It should be noted that Trapping Array 8 was not used during the 2015 surveys because its
location was disturbed from grading activities. Aluminum sheeting drift fencing installed in
2014 has held up as expected.
All herpetofauna and mammals, as well as most insects that were captured were recorded.
Birds were surveyed based on breeding and migrating bird survey protocols. Seventeen survey
point locations were established and surveys were conducted throughout the year to document
breeding, resident and migratory bird usage. A total of 7 migratory and 4 breeding bird survey
events were conducted in 2015.
Incidental sightings of non-target survey species were recorded.

SURVEY RESULTS

The following information presents the results of the surveys conducted in 2015. Data sheets are
provided in Attachment 3.
3.1

DIURNAL INSECT SURVEYS

Passive insect surveys (insect and passive herpetofauna surveys) were conducted along transects
throughout the restoration and expansion areas.
A total of 14 diurnal insect surveys were conducted between April 16, 2015 and October 27,
2015. In total, 97 insect species were documented during the 2015 diurnal surveys. One
endangered butterfly species, the Karner blue and one threatened butterfly species, the frosted
elfin, were observed on-site during their flight periods (described below in Section 3.2).
The most common insects observed throughout the 2014 surveys were the American bird
grasshopper (Schistocerca americana), differential grasshopper (Melanoplus differentialis) and
field cricket (Gryllus pennsylvanicus). The cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) was the most

KARNER BLUE BUTTERFLY & FROSTED ELFIN SURVEYS

The timing of our 2015 Karner blue butterfly (KBB) and frosted elfin (FE) surveys was based on
coordination with the APBPC and NYSDEC.
In addition to the project study area, known lupine patches located immediately adjacent to (west
of) the project study area, within the Preserve, were also investigated. Historically this area has
been documented as supporting a KBB and FE population. No KBBs or FEs were detected in
this area in 2015.
Between the winter of 2014/2015 and the commencement of the 2015 KBB/FE surveys (May 21,
2015), CHA and Applied Ecological Services (AES) biologists had been on-site numerous times
for other wildlife surveys, construction monitoring, vegetation observations, etc. During those
site visits, areas with lupine (Lupinus perennis) and nectar plants were observed, which was
useful during KBB and FE survey efforts. Lupine (planted, seeded and naturally regenerating)
was observed growing throughout most of the upland portions of the restoration area and in the
nursery in addition to the areas where it occurred prior to the restoration efforts. Based on
general observations, lupine was more abundant in 2015 than in 2014. Nectaring plants were
observed throughout all habitats of the study area. With the exception of dense cover forested
areas and habitats with standing water, all of the vegetated areas were included in the 2015
survey efforts for KBB and FE. The data CHA collected during their formal KBB and FE
surveys was supplemented with the observations of AES and CHA biologists who were on-site
frequently during the 2015 survey period.
Surveys for FEs were incorporated into the insect & passive herpetofauna surveys and first
brood KBB/FE surveys conducted during April, May and June, as identified in Table 1. The
detections made in 2015 show that FEs are spreading to areas where they were previously
undetected, such as the west/northwest-facing dune between Trapping Arrays 5 and 9.
Additionally, detections have increased, potentially indicating an increase in abundance. The

detection of only two FEs onsite in 2014 and the detection of 13 FEs onsite in 2015 suggests
that FEs may be propagating onsite, or in close proximity.

First-brood KBB surveys were conducted on May 21, May 26, May 28, June 3 and June 5, 2015.
The five first-brood KBB/FE surveys consisted of 15.2 person hours total or an average of just
over 3 person hours per survey. In total, 29 male, 24 female and 43 unknown sex KBBs were
detected during the first brood KBB surveys. In addition, 14 male, 2 female and 3 unknown sex
KBBs were observed during insect & passive herpetofauna surveys and other trips to the study
area during the first brood. These data indicate that KBBs have successfully populated the
habitat restoration; a direct response to the high-quality habitat that was created.
Second-brood surveys were conducted on June 29, July 2, July 6, July 8 and July 10, 2015. The
five second-brood surveys consisted of 15.5 person hours total or an average of just over 3
person hours per survey. In total, 16 male, 8 female and 2 unknown sex KBBs were detected
during the second brood surveys. In addition, 3 male, 1 female and 3 unknown sex KBBs were
observed during insect & passive herpetofauna surveys and other trips to the study area during
the second brood.

As illustrated in Table 2, KBB detections have increased significantly since the habitat was
established in 2012. These data reflect the quality habitat that was created and that KBBs are
using the habitat restoration for natural propagation.

More KBBs were detected in 2015 than in 2013 and 2014 combined, and KBBs were detected
in new areas in 2015. These data suggest a natural dispersal throughout the suitable habitats of
the study area and that the restored habitats are functioning as intended.

INLAND BARRENS BUCKMOTH SURVEYS

Surveys for inland barrens buckmoth (Hemileuca maia maia) were conducted on September 24,
and October 6, 2015. These surveys were conducted under weather conditions conducive for
buckmoth flight. Although good survey conditions were present during the September 24
survey, no buckmoths were detected. During the October 6 survey three buckmoths were
observed in the vicinity of the created vernal pond and the dune located west/northwest of the
vernal pond. Because of these observations the surveyors quickly moved to the open field and
dune with scrub oak in the vicinity of Trapping Array # 12. Although the same survey
conditions existed in this area (sunny with no cloud cover), no buckmoths were observed. Please
refer to the data sheets and a location map provided in Attachment 3 for additional details.

REPTILE AND AMPHIBIAN SURVEYS

Four trapping events and 21 formal passive surveys were conducted during 2015. No
endangered or threatened reptile or amphibian species were identified. In total, 4 reptile and 8
amphibian species were detected within the study area during the 2015 surveys. Since the
commencement of surveys in 2009, 7 reptile and 15 amphibian species have been detected onsite. Please refer to Attachment 3 for data sheets that document the results of each survey and
Attachment 4 for the cumulative list of species documented from 2009 to 2015.
No eastern spadefoot toads (Scaphiopus h. holbrookii) were detected during the 2015 surveys.
Confirmed breeding pools from previous years were observed to not have a sufficient
hydroperiod following heavy rain events to support spadefoot breeding. The lack of detection in
2015 could be a result of the general lack of significant inundation in this habitat and/or the
timing of the surveys. Neil Gifford (APBPC) informed us on June 16, 2015 that spadefoot toads
were detected calling in the pine bush after recent heavy rains. At this point, it is unknown if the
change in habitat type at the onsite confirmed breeding pool (complete removal of the gray birch
(Betula populifolia) saplings which has resulted in this area becoming densely-vegetated with
grasses and forbs) is affecting the spadefoot toad population. Continued monitoring is needed to
make a determination. In 2011 a second breeding pool was observed just offsite within the
APBP approximately 30 meters north of the gray birch vernal pool. This is a forested wetland
with a closed canopy and sparse groundstory vegetation (similar structure in all years since 2011
as well). No spadefoot toads were documented during searches and anuran calling surveys in
this area after heavy rains in all subsequent years, including 2015.
3.4.1

Systematic Trapping Surveys

The 2015 trapping events were conducted on March 25-27 and April 2-4 to target Ambystoma
salamander migration, June 16-19 and June 22-26 to target eastern spadefoot toad emergence due
to heavy rains, and September 28 through October 2, 2015 to target adult and neonate snake and
possible eastern spadefoot toad and Ambystoma salamander (particularly A. maculatum)
movement.
The Village of Colonie (NY) received a total of 1.19 inches of rain between June 15 and 19,
2015 and a total of 3.85 inches of rain on September 29 and 30, 2015.

Three polyploidy complex of Jefferson/blue-spotted salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum x


laterale) were captured during the March/April trapping event.
No NYS-listed endangered or threatened herpetological species were captured during the 2015
trapping events.
NYS-listed special concern herpetological species captured during the 2015 trapping events
include Jeffersons x blue-spotted salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum) (three total). It
should be noted that significantly fewer Ambystomatid salamanders were detected onsite in 2014
and 2015 than in previous years. Review of the data from 2011 to 2014 suggest that it may be a
result of differences in the timing of trapping events and/or weather conditions during the
surveys. The greatest number of Ambystomatid salamanders were captured during the September
27 to October 6, 2011 trapping event (30 total), the March 8 to 16, 2012 trapping event (18 total)
and the April 8 to 12, 2013 trapping event (seven total). The 2015 trapping events were
conducted at similar times and under similar weather conditions in an attempt to target these
species.
Future surveys will be aimed at duplicating these timeframes and weather and site conditions.
Results of future studies will help to draw conclusions.
3.4.2

Passive (Visual Encounter and Cover Turning) Surveys

Passive surveys for reptiles and amphibians were conducted during most visits to the study area.
Formal passive (visual encounter and cover turning) surveys were conducted during suitable
weather and seasonal variables to target herpetofauna. A total of 21 formal passive
herpetofaunal surveys were conducted. Of these, 6 were conducted by one observer/field
herpetologist. Therefore, spatial constraints were used to maximize search efficiency.
Eastern hognose snakes (Heterodon platirhinos) are a target reptile species and a NYS SoSC.
They occur in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve but the (meta) population appears to be disjunct
and fragmented due to industrial/commercial development and major roadways/highways
isolating tracts of land. APB land adjacent to the north and west of the project area has records
of hognose snakes as recent as 2014 (McGraw, pers. obs.), but these animals are more easily
observable at other locations within the APB that are clearly disjunct from the project site (ex.
Blueberry Hill East on the other side of Interstate 90). Review of the average home range for
eastern hognose snakes and known records within adjacent lands suggest it is conceivable for

eastern hognose snakes to inhabit the restoration site at some point in time. Therefore, careful
surveys are conducted each year to determine presence/absence.
Hognose snakes have well-defined nesting habitat requirements. They actively excavate nest
chambers within sandy soil on sunny (south- and west-facing) slopes using their
upturned/modified rostral scale to dig and body undulations to move soil out of the hole like a
conveyor belt. Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pennsylvanica), a low growing upland sedge species,
is usually present within inches of the nest chamber entrance. Due to the specificity of this
habitat and its critical role in the life cycle of hognose snakes, a well-conceived search in and
around nesting habitats during the peak of nesting season (mid to late June) is a highly effective
way to determine presence/absence of this species. Hognose snakes have not been recorded on
the project site despite the presence of suitable nesting habitat.
On June 19, 2015 a survey for nesting eastern hognose snakes was conducted in response to
notification that this species was actively nesting at an offsite location in Wilton, NY. The open
west/southwest-facing sandy area in the vicinity of Trapping Arrays 1 and 2, and the dune
located south of the created vernal pond were targeted for this survey effort due to their solar
exposure and similarity to observed offsite hognose nesting locations (open areas with exposed
sand and scattered Pennsylvania sedge plants). No hognose snakes or evidence of nesting were
observed.
On June 24, 2015 the project biologists visited a control site offsite in the Albany Pine Bush to
determine if hognose snakes were actively nesting in the immediate area. Upon confirmation
that they were actively nesting (2 gravid females observed actively digging nests), the biologists
visited the study area and conducted another survey for nesting hognose snakes in the same areas
targeted during the June 19 survey. No hognose snakes or evidence of nesting were detected
onsite.
Northern leopard frogs (Lithobates pipiens) prefer open, wet fields among other wetland types.
They were detected in relatively low numbers in 2011 and 2012 within the project location. A
significant increase was observed in 2013. This increase coincided with the establishment of
many wet meadow and associated open-canopied habitats as part of the restoration process. In
2014 we observed even more northern leopard frogs onsite than in 2013. 2015 search efforts
produced similar abundances to 2014 data, suggesting a robust and stable population of northern
leopard frogs on site.

The 2015 data suggests a significant increase in the relative abundance of American toads
(Anaxyrus americanus). Trapping events produced the greatest numbers. Most of the American
toads captured during the June trapping event were young-of-year. This trapping event
contributed significantly to the yearly total (508) of American toad detections. The American
toads captured during the September/October trapping event were mostly large adults.
On March 25 a project biologist investigated an offsite location known for observable
salamander migration. At this site (15 miles west of the project location), a road bisects the
upland overwintering grounds and the breeding pools below. During migration the animals can
be observed crossing the road. The goal of this volunteer effort was to confirm if Ambystomatid
salamanders were, in fact, emerging and migrating to breeding pools in the region yet or not.
Within 10 minutes adult and juvenile blue-spotted and polyploid Jeffersons x blue-spotted
salamanders were observed crossing the road (18 individuals observed). This added confidence
in our decision to open the trap arrays to target this species. A total of three Ambystomatid
salamanders were captured on site the following evening. Time- and Area-constrained Searches
resulted in the capture of 4 other polyploid individuals along the margin of the project location to
the northwest (near the buttonbush pond) within the following 2 survey days. Total salamanders
captured/observed were less than in previous years.
The trapping arrays have proven to be effective in capturing herpetofauna as well as small
mammals and insects. Some of the cover boards have proven very effective for attracting
reptiles and amphibians. The large piece of thin plywood near Trapping Array # 2 frequently has
common garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) of varying color morphs and age classes throughout
the survey year. This board also frequently produces redbelly snakes and, on occasion, anuran
species and small mammal nests.
3.5

BIRD SURVEYS

The 2015 bird surveys were conducted using modified methods designed for quantification of
richness and relative abundance of bird species (described in Attachment 2). In total, 4 breeding,
4 spring migrant, and 3 fall migrant passerine surveys were conducted.
Breeding bird surveys were conducted on June 10, 24, 25 and 26, 2015. The spring migratory
bird surveys were conducted on May 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2015. Fall migratory bird surveys
occurred on September 24 and October 1 and 2, 2015. Behavior codes are standardized and,
therefore, early breeding season activity was documented during point-count surveys in June.

Surveys were aimed at documenting passerine species that use the area for breeding and
migratory stopover purposes, but also noted any observed raptor, waterfowl or other nonpasserine species. In addition to the point-count passerine surveys, several opportunistic
observations of bird species while conducting other onsite activities were documented.
An American woodcock (AMWO) survey was conducted on April 21, 2015. During that survey
two males were heard peenting within the study area. One was located in the field directly
east/southeast of the nursery and the other was in the field north/northwest of Trapping Array #
12. These observations indicate that AMWO continues to use the study area for breeding
purposes.
Numerous additional AMWO sightings were documented in 2015. One was observed at the east
end of the buttonbush swamp during the June 1, 2015 eastern spadefoot toad survey. One was
observed near Trapping Array # 3 during the June 8, 2015 insect & passive herp survey. One
was observed in the vicinity of bird survey location B-5 during the June 24, 2015 breeding bird
survey. An AES contracting manager observed a female AMWO with 3 chicks onsite along the
southern edge of the wooded tract west of the field in the northeast portion of the site (near
Trapping Array #17). This confirms onsite breeding by this species. Please refer to the data
sheets and a location maps provided in Attachment 3 for additional details.
Whip-poor-will (WHIP) surveys were conducted on May 28 and June 24, 2015 under optimal
survey conditions. No WHIPs were detected during the surveys. WHIPs were observed calling
in adjacent APB lands in similar locations in previous years.
A total of 104 bird species were documented within the study area during the 2015 study period.
No new species were observed in 2015. Notable migrant observations include an abundance of
Lincolns sparrows (Melospiza lincolnii) and white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys)
in the fall. Breeding bird dynamics support the presence of increased wetlands on site, with
greater numbers of breeding red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus), common grackle
(Quiscalus quiscula), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducks, and swamp sparrows (Melospiza
georgiana) than in previous years. Field sparrows (Spizella pusilla) continue to breed in the
open/scrubby locations. Although not confirmed via NYS BBA behavioral codes, a probable
breeding prairie warbler (Setophaga discolor) was observed during multiple breeding bird
surveys maintaining an onsite territory.

MAMMALS OBSERVED

Surveys specific to mammals were not conducted. However many mammals were captured
during the herpetofaunal surveys, as well as detected by direct observations of the animal or by
their tracks or other evidence.
A total of 17 mammal species were documented during the 2015 surveys. One new mammal
species, long-tailed weasel (Mustela frenata), was detected onsite in 2015. In total, 34 mammal
species have been detected within the study area during the studies conducted between 2009 and
2015. The list of species is provided as Attachment 4.
No endangered, threatened or special concern mammals were identified during the 2015 wildlife
surveys.

Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
Ecological monitoring of vegetation and wildlife will continue in spring 2013, encompassing the
Phase I test plots; Phase II constructed wetlands, streams, and uplands; and Phase III enhancement
areas. The monitoring protocols and methods that will be applied to both vegetation and faunal
surveys are contained in Appendix 3 of the Monitoring Plan & Performance Criteria of the Albany
Rapp Road Landfill Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan. Vegetation and
faunal surveys conducted in 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2011 have established baseline and duringconstruction (faunal only) conditions. Data collected during the 2012 vegetation and faunal surveys
represent the first year of post-construction results. These data will be combined with future data to
assess restoration success and mitigation performance according to performance standards defined
in the Appendix 3 Monitoring Plan & Performance Criteria.
The following faunal survey methods and scheduling used for the 2012 post-construction surveys
will continue to be applied for specific Threatened & Endangered (T&E) Species. Attached map
figures in this section include the Post Construction Faunal Monitoring Plan and the Phase II/III
Vegetation Monitoring Map set as presented in the 2012 Compliance Report.

Survey methods will consist of a combination of Point Counts and Wandering Transects. Prior to
the survey, transect routes and point count locations will be identified as appropriate for each
species (see information provided in the Natural Resources Inventory Calendar with Survey Dates
and Protocols at the end of this section).
In order to increase the efficiency of the survey efforts, surveys for more than one species can be
conducted concurrently. For example, transects established for butterflies and dragonflies will occur
within the same area as a bird survey point count. Additionally while one surveyor is conducting
point counts the other may search cover objects for reptiles and amphibians. In order to obtain data
during peak detection periods four surveys are proposed: late-May - early June, mid to late July,
mid to late August and late September - early October.
Butterfly & Dragonfly Surveys
Modified transect counts using the Pollard Walk Method (1977) will be used to detect butterflies and
dragonflies. Each survey transect will be located within areas where the presence of wild lupine or
nectar plants are present and traverse a range of habitat deemed most representative of butterfly and
dragonfly habitat.

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

Surveys will be conducted during optimal time and weather conditions listed below:
Between 10 am and 5 pm
Temperatures above 65 F
o When temperatures are between 65-70F, surveys should only be conducted under
mostly sunny skies (< 50% cloud cover) with calm to light wind
Do not conduct surveys under drizzly or rainy conditions or delay survey after heavy rain
until the vegetation and butterflies have had a chance to dry out.
Observers will slowly walk in a zigzag pattern along each transect stopping frequently to scan the
area for movement. Vegetation will be gently prodded using a butterfly net or meter stick. All
butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies will be recorded.
If a potentially listed species is detected outside the established transect, observers will leave the
transect and properly identify the species. If identification confirms a T&E or special concern (SC)
species, observers will search the area for other individuals and mark the area using GPS before
returning to the established transect.
Time spent on each transect will be recorded to the second. Time spent outside the transect will be
subtracted from transect time.
Butterflies
Species identification will be made visually, using binoculars when needed. If it is required to
capture a butterfly with a net for proper identification, care should be taken to release the insect
unharmed. Individuals will be recorded only once. The sex of a butterfly should be recorded during
the walk if it is obvious to the observer. Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) (KBB)
nectar species should be noted when observed.
Dragonflies and Damselflies
If a dragonfly or damselfly is located and identification is difficult, the observer will attempt to
capture the individual. Net dragonflies in flight by swinging nets at them from behind. When
perched, approach them with very slow movements. Once in the net, remove the specimen by
hand. If collecting the individual, place the specimen in a paper envelope with its wings held back
together. Close the envelope with a paperclip and label it with the date and location.

Bird Surveys
Breeding birds will be sampled as a measure of wildlife habitat quality. Bird surveys were conducted
during the baseline year (2007) and again in 2009 and each year since. These surveys will continue
through the monitoring and maintenance period for the restored communities. Richness (number
of species of birds), breeding bird density (number of breeding pairs by species) and spatial and
habitat-use affinities (mapped locations of bird use relative to habitat types) are the avian variables
that will be measured. Sampling will be conducted during the period late May through late June
during the breeding season. An additional sampling of bird species will occur in spring and
fall/winter for detecting migratory species. Sampling points will be spatially correlated or may
coincide with transect end points and habitat types.
Representative study locations have been identified throughout the Property based on the
complexity, patchiness, and types of avian habitat present. The study points are spaced sufficiently
to ensure independence of data from other study points. Study points are illustrated on the Post
Construction Faunal Monitoring Plan.
Avian surveys will use modified methods 1 designed for quantification of richness and relative
abundance of bird species. At each study point birds will be surveyed daily at dawn through midmorning over four consecutive days during summer breeding under suitable meteorological
conditions. Arrival at each study point will be followed by one-to-two minutes of acclimation while
data sheets are being labeled as to time, date, surveyor, study point number, and survey
identification. During timed surveys (using stopwatch) the bird species heard or observed each
minute will be recorded and locations mapped. Surveys will be continued until no additional species
are recorded at each study point, often requiring 15-20 minutes of total survey time. Only after at
least four consecutive minutes with no new-recorded species are surveys complete at each point and
the survey is terminated. The modification of the Reynolds et al. (Ibid.) method is similar to the
Goffs proposal for surveying plants. Additional listings of birds observed or heard in the property
but not at study points will be noted while moving between study points. Identification and
nomenclature for birds follows Robbins 2 and the American Ornithological Union 3.
A raw field data sheet will be entered into a database to create a list of birds as well as summary and
analysis. The study will determine the breeding status of species identified during the surveys.
Avian breeding status on the site will follow the criteria adopted by the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Breeding Bird Atlas Behavioral Codes 4 . The behavior
categories and breeding listed in the table below will be used in the study.

Description
Species observed in possible nesting habitat, but no other indication of
breeding noted; singing male(s) present (or breeding calls heard) in breeding
season.
Singing male present (or breeding calls heard).
Pair observed in suitable habitat in breeding season.
Bird (or pair) apparently holding territory. In addition to territorial singing,
chasing of other individuals of same species often marks a territory.
Courtship and display, agitated behavior or anxiety calls from adults suggesting
probable presence nearby of a nest or young; well-developed brood-patch or
cloacal protuberance on trapped adult. Includes copulation.
Visiting probable nest site. Nest building by wrens and woodpeckers. Wrens
may build many nests. Woodpeckers, although they usually drill only one nest
cavity, also drill holes just for roosting.
Nest building or excavation of a nest hole.
Distraction display or injury-feigning. Agitated behavior and/or anxiety calls
are Probable-D.
Used nest found. Caution: These must be carefully identified if they are to be
counted as evidence. Some nests (e.g. Baltimore Oriole) are persistent and
very characteristic. Most are difficult to identify correctly.
Female with egg in the oviduct (by bird bander).
Recently fledged young (including downy young of precocious species
waterfowl, shorebirds). This code should be used with caution for species
such as blackbirds and swallows, which may move some distance soon after
fledging. Recently fledged passerines are still dependent on their parents and
are fed by them.
Adults(s) entering or leaving nest site in circumstances indicating occupied
nest. NOT generally used for open nesting birds. It should be used for hole
nesters only when a bird enters a hole and remains inside, makes a changeover at a hole, or leaves a hole after having been inside for some time. If you
simply see a bird fly into or out of a bush or tree, and do not find nest, the
correct code would be Probable-N.
Adult carrying fecal sac.
Adult(s) with food for young. Some birds (gulls, terns, and raptors) continue
to feed their young long after they are fledged, and even after they have
moved considerable distances. Also, some birds (e.g. terns) may carry food
over long distances to their young in a neighboring block. Be especially
careful on the edge of a block. Care should be taken to avoid confusion with
courtship feeding (Probable-D).
Identifiable nest and eggs, bird setting on nest or egg. Identifiable eggshells
found beneath nest, or identifiable dead nestling(s). If you find a cowbird egg
in a nest, it is NE for Cowbird, and NE for the identified nests owner.
Nest with young. If you find a young cowbird with other young, it is NY for
cowbird and NY for identified nest owner.

American woodcock surveys


Singing-ground surveys will be conducted according to Protocol: Locating Woodcock Singing
Ground Survey Routes and Cooper, T.R., and K. Parker 2009 5 with the exception of a modified
route. We have identified three listening point locations spaced far apart enough to cover
the entire study area. These survey point locations are identified on the Post Construction
Wildlife Surveys Map as Nocturnal Bird Survey Locations. Two surveys will be conducted
between April 25 and May 10 according to the preferred environmental conditions and
seasonal and daily timing outlined in those documents. Observers will arrive to the site at or
shortly after sunset. Observers will listen for two minutes at each point and will also record
all birds heard as they walk and use the listening stops as reference points. Number of
woodcocks heard peenting will be recorded and their approximate locations will be
documented. Surveys will last no longer than 36 minutes. These surveys will only be used
to document presence and approximate abundance. Population trends will not be evaluated.

Whip-poor-will surveys
Surveys will be conducted according to the methodologies identified in A Proposed Survey
Methodology for Monitoring Nightjars (Caprimulgidae, Caprimulgus) in Eastern North America 6 with
the exception that we are not able to space survey points more than one mile apart to
minimize the risk of double-counting individuals. Three survey point locations were located
at distances sufficient to cover all areas of disturbance while trying to limit potential doublecounting of individuals. Two surveys will be conducted between May 15 and June 30.
Surveys will commence during the period of maximum lunar illumination ( 50%) when the
moon is not obscured by cloud cover (<25 %) or the horizon. Surveys will begin after the
sun has set completely. There will be double-observer point counts consisting of three twominute periods at each survey point location. At each point, two observers will
independently record individual birds as detected in each interval, with a new line for each
bird. The resulting data sheet will look something like this (taken directly but modified from
above cited source):

Reptile and Amphibian Surveys


Systematic Sampling:
Systematic sampling will occur only in areas proposed for habitat displacement (i.e. the expansion
area) and other areas proposed for land disturbance/grading (i.e. select portions of the restoration
area). Refer to the Post Construction Faunal Monitoring Plan for the locations of the herp
systematic trapping arrays.
In these areas, two systematic sampling techniques will be used to sample for herps:
1. Wooden cover boards were placed on the ground in various areas and will be checked
throughout the survey periods (locations are not illustrated on the map). Cover boards
consist of flat-edged rough cut lumber and scrap wood of varying dimensions.
2. Trapping arrays are composed of drift fencing (silt fencing), metal snake funnel traps and
pitfall traps (5 gallon buckets) established in key areas upslope of aquatic habitats with the
intent of capturing herps as they migrate to and from potential breeding, nesting or foraging
areas. Timing of the trapping events will be conducted during two distinct timeframes. The
first is early spring to target Ambystomatid salamanders (1 trapping week triggered when
ice begins to melt on pooled areas) and a little later in spring when frog calling/breeding
activity has begun (1 trapping week). The second will be during late spring/early summer to
target species such as the hognose snake (Heterodon platithinos) and eastern spadefoot toad
(Scaphiopus holbrookii) (2 separate trapping weeks proposed 1 during dry weather and 1
during major rainfall events >45 degrees Fahrenheit between March and August). Trapping
arrays will be functional for 1 week (5 day) intervals with no more than 4 trapping weeks (20
days) proposed.
It is likely that other animals such as small mammals will be captured in the trapping arrays. The
trapping arrays will be checked once daily before noon. All species captured will be identified,
documented and released.
At each sampling station, time, air temperature, water temperature, weather, wind conditions, and
investigator initials will be recorded. At the end of each trapping session, all traps will be closed or
removed to prevent accidental trapping or death of animals.
Passive Searches
Passive surveys for reptiles and amphibians will occur on established butterfly and dragonfly
transects. Observers will constantly scan the areas they are traversing for any visible herps. Any
potential cover object such as rocks, logs and debris will be turned over and searched. If the cover
object is too large to lift or search under, a GPS location will be taken to document the site for
future reference. If the object is to be disturbed during construction, staff biologists will be on hand
to search under the object at this time. Visual and audio observations will be recorded. Stage of
development will be noted. Individuals will only be recorded once.
Call surveys will be conducted for eastern spadefoot toads during and after major rainfall events >45
degrees Fahrenheit between March and August. These passive surveys will consist of listening for
calling toads and looking for them in the vicinity of pooled areas. A spotlight or powerful flashlight
may be used to look for eye reflections.

Note: If a rare species is observed or captured, the specific location will be documented and detailed
information pertaining to the vegetative community in which the species is observed or captured will be
collected. In all cases, vegetative communities will be identified according to Ecological Communities of
New York State, Edinger, 2002. Pertinent notes, such as interspersion of surrounding communities, and
other species-specific habitat relationships or observations will be taken. Representative photographs will
be taken of the specific location and its surrounding areas.

Attachment K. Phase IV GAL Planning


Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
Beginning as early as 2013, the City and Consultant Team convened informal field meetings with
NYSDEC, APBPC staff, and other interested parties to discuss the results of the test plot
monitoring on the GAL. The test plots are intended to provide critical information on native Pine
Barrens species establishment on the landfill relative to slope, aspect, sand depth, sand pH,
management (mowing), and erosion control. The significance of many of these items are discussed
in detail in Attachment E (Test Plot Monitoring) and summarized below. Vegetation and faunal data
collected to date from the test plots have demonstrated successful establishment of Pine Barrens
and Karner blue butterfly habitat can be achieved on the landfill cap.
Slope
The success of native species establishment was monitored based on sampled meter square quadrats
positioned in the upper, middle, and lower slope positions, as well as in ridge top positions. Slope
position was found to be an important factor in the establishment of the desired native species plant
assemblages, with ridge tops and upper slopes most productive of several native species.
Aspect
Orientation of the GAL allowed for the evaluation and comparison of vegetation establishment on
north and south facing slopes, and ridge top positions. Aspect was also found to be influential in
the establishment of native species plant assemblages, with the south-facing aspect most productive
of several native species.
Sand Depth
Sand depths of 1, 1.5, and 2 feet were evaluated. Based on previous failed attempts by others to
establish native Pine Barrens species on existing soils on the GAL, as well as knowledge of the
existing research on the desired and undesired species, it was hypothesized that a minimum of 2 feet
of low pH sand would be required to establish and favor long-term the native Pine Barrens species
and limit the establishment of competing non-native species in most locations on the landfill, with
possible adjustments in either direction to account for varying conditions of moisture availability.
The results of 4 years of test plot monitoring have revealed that a minimum of 2 feet of sand is
required to favor growth of native Pine Barrens species in most locations of the landfill cap, with
the possible exception of the ridge tops and upper south facing slopes, where depths of 18 inches
may be adequate due to these positions being most favorable for drought tolerant native grasses and
forbs. Additionally, it was further determined that depths of 4-6 feet of sand will be required in
areas near the toe of slope where seeps are saturating the 2 feet of sand and selecting for non-native
species (including Phragmites) and some hydrophytes.

pH
The upland Pine Bush vegetation targeted for the landfill cap includes species that are adapted to
dry, low pH sandy soils, with limited nutrient availability. The test plots have demonstrated that
higher pH soils in these upland settings favor weedy non-native species. Therefore, it is necessary to
obtain or amend Pine Bush soils to achieve an upper pH limit of 6.3.
Management
Untested management treatments were conducted annually to control highly invasive species that
would otherwise risk spreading seed propagules to restored areas of the restoration. Treatments
included spot mowing and herbicide applications.
Erosion Control
The test plots presented challenges in controlling erosion of the topdressing of sand on the GAL
during early vegetation establishment periods. Various methods of erosion control were used, but
several factors including late season cover crop establishment, poor cover crop germination, highly
erodible sands, and timing of significant storm events led to extensive erosion. The incorporation
of straw wattles designed to intercept runoff and shorten the slopes proved effective at reducing
erosion. Ultimately, the establishment of the native vegetation was key to stabilizing the slopes.
Several important stabilization measures were realized during the establishment of the test plot
sands:
Long slopes will be difficult, if not impossible, to stabilize without grade breaks and
measures to control runoff.
Phasing of restoration over the landfill cap will be necessary to limit the length of
constructed and newly vegetated slopes. Building from the bottom of the slopes up appears
to be best approach to prevent slope failure and to protect sensitive adjacent areas like the
adjacent restored Pine Barrens communities and the Thruway.
Timing is important. Vegetation, especially a cover crop, needs to be established as early as
possible in the spring.
These lessons from the process of establishing the test plots were incorporated into the design of
an erosion control system that will significantly limit the potential for major erosion issues during
restoration of the landfill cap.
Work Activity
The results of the test plot monitoring and the evaluation of slope stability and erosion control have
led to the following plan for establishing Pine Barrens communities on the GAL.
Sand Depth
Monitoring results and analysis in 2015 support the conclusion that the desirable native Pine Bush
plant assemblages are establishing most successfully in deeper soils of 18 24 inch depth in good

S:090636:120115

1107

2015 Albany Rapp Road Landfill Compliance Report

(low pH) sands. These depths are therefore recommended as the minimum final topdressing
treatment needed for final site closure, where native plant communities will be established.
Challenges from weed competition will occur most intensively on north facing slopes and in mid to
lower slope positions along the moisture gradient on both north and south facing slopes. Because
sand depth influences the degree to which weed competition is a factor, depths closer to the 24 inch
depth will contribute to a reduction of weed competition and associated management needs/costs
in most positions on the landfill cap. On ridge tops and upper south facing slopes, depths of 18
inches may be adequate due to these positions being most favorable for drought tolerant native
grasses and forbs. On the older GAL, deeper sands above the recommended 24 inch depth will
likely be necessary on the mid to lowest slope positions. This is due to the seepage and higher
moisture levels found in these locations, which will be most favorable for weed competition,
particularly by the highly competitive Phragmites which has previously colonized the GAL.
On the areas of the landfill that will be closed with a new Part 360 geomembrane cap, the seepage
issue may not be as great a risk to encouraging the colonization and establishment of invasive plant
species such as Phragmites. However, until this is evaluated further, at this time, we would
recommend that from midslope locations to the toe of the landfill, sand depths will need to be
deeper than 24 inches.
Sand Topdressing Erosion Control
Difficulty in establishing the sand topdressing on the GAL can be attributed to a couple factors
which will affect the ability to stabilize the slopes on a short term (seasonal) and intermediate term
(several years) basis. In the short term, the properties of the native soils and vegetation being used
will make it difficult to protect the slope. Native Pine Bush soils are generally characterized as fine
sand. Fine sand has a high porosity and permeability and high erodibility. Sands are also less
cohesive and nutrient poor, and do not compact as tightly due to their irregular shape and large
particle size. When inundated with water more quickly than can infiltrate, sheet flow across sandy
soils will cause the particles to easily detach from the surface and be transferred down slope (erode).
Native Pine Bush vegetation consists of deep rooted species that will take up to 2 years to establish.
As a result, the proposed slopes will need to be temporarily established with a cover crop and straw
that is crimped into the soil. Without a well-established cover crop, the surface runoff could create
rills with the potential for significant erosion, transporting large amount of soil to the toe of slope.
An event of this nature would effectively destroy progress made towards stabilizing the slope in that
section.
In the longer term (greater than 2 years), erosion potential would be reduced once the native species
have established. The challenge, as indicated above, will be protecting the slopes from erosion long
enough for that cover to develop.
Drainage Features
Components: In order to mitigate the erosive potential, described above, control measures have been
developed to help protect the slopes long enough for vegetation to establish. In order to break up
flow running down slope, stone trench drainage barriers will be installed perpendicular to the flow
path, at even intervals. The stone trenches will be parallel to the contours and wrap around the
landfill to create a complete loop, laid level at and even elevation. The stone trench drainage breaks
shall consist of a 5 ft section of light stone fill installed to a depth of 2 feet (to the bottom of the

sand layer). The stone will be wrapped in fabric to help prevent particle migration, and be under
drained to quickly remove water. As water travels down the sandy slopes, the stone trench drainage
barriers will intercept runoff before it has a chance to become erosive. The water will drain down
through the stone trench layer, and into the underdrain. The underdrains will collect the water and
convey them to the toe of slope via drainage pipes which will connect the underdrains from loop to
loop, downslope. The drainage pipes will not be installed perpendicular to the contours (and
underdrain) but instead be angled to increase the run length and limit the pitch. The drainage pipes
will be spaced every 100 feet, and will be staggered so that as water travels from one loop to the
next, it will be forced to turn and run flat in the subsequent underdrain for 50 feet before continuing
down the slope in the following drainage pipe. This will help to dissipate velocities as the
stormwater is conveyed.
In addition, a band of increased vegetation and erosion control mat is proposed immediately
upslope of the stone trench to reduce the potential for erosion.
Location and Frequency: The location and frequency of the stone trench drainage breaks are proposed
to be 50 apart where slopes are 3:1. The spacing increases in areas where the slope becomes more
gradual than 3:1. The proposed spacing is depicted on the Conceptual Erosion Control Plan (Figure
1) and Conceptual Erosion Control Details (Figure 2), both of which were developed to address the
entire landfill. The spacing of the trench drains was determined by accepted erosion and sediment
control design practices detailed in the New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and
Sediment Control (Blue Book). A typical silt fence installation to limit temporary erosion is
recommended every 50 for slopes of 3:1.
In addition to conforming to accepted erosion control standards the 50 stone trench spacing
provides a practical distance to allow for follow-up maintenance activities and reduces the potential
for more significant rills and erosion.
Maintenance: The landfill slope will be most susceptible to erosion prior to the establishment of the
proposed cover crop. The intent of the structural measures described above is to contain the
potential erosion limits between each stone trench drainage break. This will help prevent the runoff
from concentrating into rills, and will prevent the rills that do form from perpetuating down the
entire slope. This will help minimize erosive damage that does occur and should prevent a more
serious slope failure in extreme rain events. Short term maintenance will likely involve redressing
areas which have experienced washout. This could include redistributing sand that has been
transported, and applying new seed, mulch and tackifier to areas that have lost it.
The restoration of Pine Bush habitat on the landfill, in particular on the 3:1 side slopes, will likely
require intermediate-term maintenance in order to fully establish the native vegetation. Similar to
the short term maintenance requirements, this may involve redressing areas which have experienced
erosion. Some repairs and/or restructuring of the stone trench drainage barriers may also be
necessary.
Construction Procedures
Stormwater Features: Construction of the proposed improvements should begin with the installation
of the toe of slope drainage swale around the perimeter of the landfill. This will consist of digging a
10 ft wide trench which will be backfilled with light stone fill that has been wrapped in separation

fabric. Next, installation of the drainage pipes should be completed. This will involve trenching into
the previously placed barrier protection layer to install underdrains to accept stormwater flows at the
stone trenches, and sloped pipes to convey stormwater down the landfill and to the toe of slope
trench. The drainage pipes will be backfilled with stone, with the underdrains also being wrapped in
separation fabric. After backfilling all the drainage pipes, the 2 ft sand layer will be built-up, starting
at the toe of slope and working around the landfill in linear segments. Moistened sand shall be
placed in 6-12 lifts on the slope by running a bull dozer (wide track) with Grouser tracks running
perpendicular to the fall line (up and down the slope) until a 24 average depth of moistened sand
has been established per the project grading plan (to be provided at a later date). As the sand layer is
built going around the landfill, care shall be taken not to crush the recently installed drainage pipes.
Going up the slope, when an underdrain loop is encountered a 2 ft layer of light stone fill that is 5 ft
wide will be installed over the underdrain. A custom trench box, or other means of vertical support
will be necessary to install the stone section between the sand layers. The trench box or vertical
supports will first need to be set in place and lined with separation fabric. The light stone fill will be
loaded between the vertical supports and the separation fabric will be wrapped over top to enclose
the stone trench. The sand layers on either side of the stone can then be built up against the trench
box/vertical support. With the sections in place, the trench box/vertical support will be pulled
across the slope (out from between the sand and stone) allowing the stone/sand interface to settle
and form.
Vegetation: All native seeding must be done no later than April 15, but preferably plantings will be
done by April 1. If weather conditions permit, seeding can occur at the earliest time in the spring
when soils are no longer frozen. All seed and straw mulch will be procured and stored in a dry
location by January of the planting year. Materials will be secured in a dry storage facility. Seeding
will be accomplished through use of a no till drill. Planting of the native seed mixes and cover
crops will be done simultaneously with the drill running perpendicular across the face of the slope
(This procedure will require use of tensor rods that are installed from the back of a bulldozer to
keep the drill aligned behind it, and will need to be fabricated to operate on steep slopes. The tensor
rods and a Truax drill should be purchased or leased by January of the planting year). After planting,
a final Grouser track overlay on the seeded slopes will be completed, running up and down the
slope. Next, 8 ft wide bands of increased vegetation will be installed immediately up slope of the
stone trenches. This will be accomplished by creating 8 ft drill tracks and double seeding the tracks
with an additional cover crop mix and native seeds. When seeding of slopes and bands is finished,
hydro mulching with 3 tons/acre of pelletized grass mulch will be completed across the face of the
landfill (as an alternative, 3 ton/acre of clean straw mulch can be blown onto the slope. Straw will
require use of a straw crimper to run across the face of the slope and crimp the straw into the
substrates). In addition, a straw mulch layer applied at a rate of 2 tons/acre shall be installed over
the increased vegetation bands and stone trenches, and the straw should be re-crimped in the
increased vegetation bands up and down slops of the stone trench. Finally, hydro-spray guar gum
tackifier to create a non-wetable surface over the planted and mulched surface at a rate of
10lbs/acre.
Woody vegetation consisting of such species as scrub oaks, sand willow, and New Jersey tea will be
planted to create habitat for pine bush birds, insects (e.g. buck moths) and create slowed air
movement over the landfill surface that will encourage eventual use and occupation by Karner blue
butterflies and other species that would normally be discouraged from using locations with high
winds. The shrub/scrub form plant materials will act to key the slope (expanded root medium
depth to former Part 360 cap rooting medium) together, adding to slope stability. Pitch pines will

also be established at the toe of slopes, along the landfill berms and will not interfere with the
landfill cap.
Deviations from Work Plan
The 2015 Work Plan calls for a more detailed plan for the placement of sand on the GAL and the
establishment of Pine Barrens habitat. Considerable time was spent this year on the evaluation of
sand stability and erosion control on the landfill to better understand the effort required to prevent
any major erosion events. The City is currently evaluating the additional effort and associated costs.

Attachment L. USACE Wetland Mitigation Monitoring


Compliance Report
Albany Rapp Road Landfill
Ecosystem Mitigation, Restoration & Enhancement Plan
City of Albany, New York
Introduction
The USACE Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Report is being provided as a supplement under
separate cover to the Annual Compliance Report required by the State permit and in accordance
with the Restoration Plan.
The purpose of this report is to provide an evaluation of the success of the mitigation area in its
fourth year and determine if any adjustments are required. This report is organized based on the
requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit, specifically Special Condition (I) 1-7.
Work Activity
The Restoration Area, which includes the created upland and wetland areas within the former
mobile home park and the surrounding forested wetland areas to the north and east, are carefully
monitored and maintained throughout the year in accordance with the Restoration Plan. The
following methods were used for data collection:
Automated shallow groundwater elevation measurements with pressure transducers in each
of the 15 groundwater monitoring wells located in the wetland mitigation areas.
Additionally, 6 wells located on the Ice Age parcel, which were installed during the initial
phases of data collection prior to permitting, have also been measured bi-monthly during the
growing season to record shallow groundwater elevations for comparisons with the
preconstruction data from the same piezometers. Note: the groundwater monitoring report is
provided in Attachment I of the compliance report.
Automated soil moisture measurements.
Yearly vegetative survey at established data point locations within each wetland community.
Photo documentation from established points.
General observations of wildlife usage of the restoration project site
The results of the monitoring effort are provided in the attached report.
Deviations from Work Plan
The monitoring effort was undertaken as planned. There were no deviations in the process for
collecting and analyzing data.
