Jeffrey Davis recalled to the Board that the Agency had received an original application and
an amendment to the application. He explained that the application being presented today is
a further update and refinement of the application.

review, which is still ongoing. He explained that this environmental review is for the entire
project of all four fabs at White Pine Commerce Park.
J. Davis advised that the application for benefits that is being presented today is only for the
first phase of the project, which consists of two fabs.
K. Birchenough added to J. Davis’s explanation by advising that this application is for the
western half of Burnet Road, starting at Caughdenoy Road working towards Burnet Road.
Susan Stanezyk questioned if the public hearing being proposed for the project is strictly on
phase 1.
J. Davis responded that the proposed public hearing is strictly on phase | and the benefits that
the Agency is being asked to consider for phase 1. He added that for phase 2, a separate

Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC (Rail Spur) (Project #3101-25-
06A) First Meeting
Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC is proposing to construct a rail spur
and construction material conveyance facility on approximately 38 acres west of 8625
Caughdenoy Road in the Town of Clay to economically transport fill and other aggregate
construction material to the Micron Campus by rail.
Robert Petrovich explained that this is the first time that this application is coming before the
Board. R. Petrovich stated that the project is in support of the Micron Project’s main campus
construction. Micron acquired property across from the main campus to construct a rail spur

bring in new material as part of the foundation process of stabilizing the site for foundation
construction.
R. Petrovich noted that the project consists of 38 acres on the other side of Caughdenoy
Road.
J. Davis noted to the Board members in their review of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) that this project is referred to as the Rail Spur Site. J. Davis advised that
there will be a sidecar railing location there where the conveyor over Caughdenoy Road will
allow aggregate to come into the site in a more seamless manner, taking significant truck
traffic off the road to bring in materials and do work to level the site and get it ready for
construction.
J. Davis explained that this application is being studied and is a part of the much larger Draft
EIS that the Board previously voted on. J. Davis advised that it will be part of the upcoming
FEIS that will be presented to the Board.
Patrick Hogan drew attention to the $51 million capital expenditure for this project. He also
made a note that this is a positive impact on the environment due to the number of trucks that
will be kept off of the road in relation to the site preparation.
K. Birchenough said that the construction of the Rail Spur Site is to begin alongside the
construction of the main site, pending all approvals and the EIS. She noted that construction
will take approximately a year.
K. Birchenough stated that once the rail spur has been constructed it will primarily be used to
provide aggregate to and from the site and replace it with clean aggregate from nearby
quarries to help with the foundations.
K. Birchenough noted that there will be a conveyor system over Caughdenoy Road, that will
be screened in so nothing can drop.
The Applicant is working with CSX Transportation on the rail spur. Sixty loaded cars will
load in at a time, and sixty empty cars will then go back. The operating hours will be
between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Maintenance will be done between 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM,
which will avoid loud noise during that time.
K. Birchenough explains that when operational, the rail spur will have about 17 employees.
She advised that they’re in the process of looking for a rail spur operator. K. Birchenough
noted that they have contracted with RailWorks to do the construction.
R. Petrovich reiterated that this meeting is to establish a public hearing.
