Rodent Control Measures Taken McKissack has implemented an ongoing rodent control plan which is being monitored weekly. There are over 166 bait stations laid in this area and on Block 1129. Across the site, additional measures are being instituted to redouble efforts related to food garbage control, including the provision of additional garbage containers. In addition, baiting stations have been or will be inspected to confirm operation and repaired or relocated as needed. East Lead Track Foundation Backfilling and compaction of subgrade material to build the ramp has been completed along with the installation of ballast material. Installation of the new lead track is underway and will be completed within this reporting period. Electrical Ducts and Manholes The installation of the power feeders and splicing of the cables will continue throughout this reporting period. Track Work Installation of rail road track has been completed in the west end of BL1120, including welding of running rails. Installation of Third Rail on this track has begun. Track work is continuing, working from east to west, until the yard is completed. Stone ballast has been and will continue to be intermittently delivered during the night shift.

From 3:30pm 1:00am loud banging noises by dump trucks will occur as they empty their loads of stone in the east yard between Carlton and Vanderbilt Avenues. These truckload deliveries of stone are expected to continue through June 15th

Carlton Ave. Bridge MPT continues to be in place at Carlton Ave. and Pacific Street during this reporting period the contractor will continue to form and install rebar for the stem wall of the new South Abutment and place concrete as required. Noise attenuation blanketing is being utilized to cover a generator being used to cool the concrete during curing at the South Abutment. Construction of Pier #2 has been completed. Work has commenced on Pier #1 and will continue during the next two weeks. The footing and the stem wall for the North Abutment have been substantially completed.

Car Shop Work on the CMU closure wall on the yard side of the Car Shop will continue during this reporting period. . East End (former Gasoline Station) The final pouring of concrete in a tall retaining wall along the Vanderbilt Ave. end of the yard was completed on May 30th Pedestrian traffic was directed to the other side (east side of Vanderbilt Avenue during concrete delivery and pumping operations which occupied the western-most southbound traffic lane on Vanderbilt. Schedule Maintenance Due to the need to expedite all of this work for overall schedule maintenance, it will be progressed on double shifts during the weekdays along with Saturdays, Sundays & selected holidays. Yard Lights As work in the north rail yard is completed in preparation for cutover (i.e., the LIRR moves from the southern to the northern portion of the yard), currently scheduled over a weekend in mid-June, and work in the yard turns into a 24-hour a day operation right before and during this cutover period, the yard lights will have to be turned on at dusk and turned off at approximately 7:00 AM. While the bulk of the cutover work will occur on one weekend there will also be necessary follow-up work the following weekend. The complete cutover from the south yard to the north yard will occur over two weekends from mid to late June. As such, there is a possibility that yard lights may intermittently need to be turned on all night through the end of June. Achieving our schedule for yard cutover is essential to timely completion of the CAB.

Backfill Storage In order to work more efficiently within the Yard, excess soil required for backfilling the site has been stockpiled in the lay down area adjacent to Pacific St. in block 1129. The pile has been completely covered with a tarp and additional measures, including the use of wood fiber blocks and silt fencing around the perimeter and gravel at the entrance are being used to prevent run off of soil into Pacific St. The stockpiled soil, which is non-hazardous, is expected to be removed during this reporting period. Sidewalk Work in Pacific St and in Vanderbilt Ave. A Sewer Manhole has just been constructed in the sidewalk on the north side of Pacific Street near Sixth Avenue for future connection of the storm water force main from the rail yard. The excavation and manhole was plated over during the work. . All NYCDEP & NYCDOT permits were secured for this work. A Sewer Manhole and a Water Meter / RPZ Manhole will be constructed in the sidewalk on the west side of Vanderbilt Ave near Atlantic Ave for future connection of the sanitary force main from the city water main to the rail yard. The excavation and manholes will be plated over until work is completed. All NYCDEP & NYCDOT permits have been secured for this work.

Replacement of Adjacent Water Mains and other Utility Work On behalf of the DEP, FCRC managed the installation of a new water trunk main and associated distribution mains on Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue west of 6th Avenue (a separate DEP water main replacement project is taking place in the median of Atlantic Avenue east of 6th Avenue). The work under FCRCs management was divided into three stages. o Stage One is the work on the west side of Flatbush, north of the Atlantic intersection, continuing across Flatbush to the edge of the transit improvements on the arena block. This is called Stage One because the design of this section was critical to the remaining two stages. The actual installation will follow Stage Two. o Stage Two is the work along the south side of Atlantic Ave. from a location just west of the former 5th Avenue bed, running eastward to a location west of the 6th Avenue intersection. o Stage Three is the area between Stages One and Two, across Flatbush Avenue and the top of the future new transit station improvements. The installation of the new trunk water main and associated distribution main in all stages is complete. Cleaning, pressurization, inspection and chlorination are also essentially complete. Punch list work will continue for several weeks. This work is intermittent and is coordinated with other trades in the area.

Catch basins at the corner of Pacific and 6th Avenue were modified. Roadway restoration will be scheduled and coordinated with LIRR drainage work and traffic mitigation roadway work in the area. During the course of utility installation work, the contractor may encounter unforeseen contaminants, underground storage tanks or other structures. In the event that this happens and where appropriate, notification will be given to the DEC, VOC monitoring will be continuously performed, and remediation steps will be implemented.

Block 1129 (Carlton, Dean, Vanderbilt, Pacific) Construction Staging, Parking Lot and Wall Reinforcement FCRC and Hunt have activated a delivery dispatch center here to dispatch all delivery trailers and trucks to the arena site in order to further minimize impacts to the local traffic and pedestrian patterns. This dispatch center will remain in operation during this reporting period. The utility contractor has moved its operations from Block 1129 to the north side of Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt. This move was required due to the commencement of construction of the parking lot that will be on B1129. A laborer has been used when necessary to manage dust suppression in Block 1129. The west wall of 752 Pacific Street was reinforced and fragments of the former building at 585 Dean Street were demolished. Sign offs are pending. Sidewalk bridges around 752 Pacific Street will be removed during this two week period. The CLO & CLE offices have been relocated to the first floor of 752 Pacific Street. Construction of the Block 1129 parking lot has begun. . Initial operations have consisted of clearing the site, demolition and removal of the remaining foundations on the site, and grading of the site down to the final subgrade elevation. Underground concrete structures have been encountered, some of which must be demolished by hoe ram for the work to continue. Demolition began 5/2/9/2012 and will continue intermittently over the next work or so. All of the soil on the site has been sampled and tested and is classified as historic fill, which is a low-level contamination unsuitable for use in other sites but not needing special considerations for handling. Removal of demolition debris was commenced; removal of excess fill material will likely commence during this reporting period. Installation of the stormwater detention system is slated to begin during this reporting period.

Traffic Mitigation Site Work The FEIS requires the construction of certain roadway, sidewalk and traffic signal improvements prior to arena opening to mitigate traffic projected in the area. Work was divided into two seasons summer/fall 2011 and spring/summer 2012. The details of the work were reviewed with City agencies, Community Boards and the general public. The first element of the 2011 work included the installation of curb extensions at the Pacific/4th Avenue, Dean/Flatbush and Pacific/Flatbush intersections and the reversal of traffic from westbound to eastbound on Pacific between 4th and Flatbush Avenues, and curb extensions at Pacific/Flatbush, Dean/Flatbush and Pacific/4th. This work is complete. Atlantic Avenue Medians Work was expected to begin in late April 2012 on the remaining traffic mitigation work but was postponed due to delays in the City water main work east of Carlton Avenue. The citys work is expected to be complete by early June. Work on the medians, therefore, has been scheduled to start the week of June 11th. Most of the traffic mitigation site work is made up of raised medians along Atlantic Avenue from Flatbush Avenue to Vanderbilt Avenue. OCMC reviewed the scope and location of the medians and determined the work shall be performed during daytime hours but that certain traffic signal and street light conduit work may occur during the nighttime hours. OCMC approved an MPT plan which takes lanes out of service during the work period. The arena block, Carlton Avenue Bridge reconstruction and DDC utility work between Carlton and Vanderbilt Avenues will also take lanes out of service. Therefore, the median work must be scheduled block by block to coordinate with the other work schedules and MPT configurations. The first medians will be constructed on the block east of 6th Avenue between 6th Avenue/South Portland and Cumberland Avenue. Any required nighttime work will be concluded by 6 AM so that related temporary MPT can be removed for the morning rush hour. All long-term MPT will have DOT approval and permits and will be removed when work in the area is completed. The traffic mitigation work to date required the use of jack hammers to install new conduits for new traffic signals. The remainder of the work is similar and will require jack hammers as well.

Arena Site Work The revised Flatbush Avenue MPT is allowing work to continue on the installation of the Flatbush Avenue faade and the installation of curbs and sidewalks along this same stretch. Part of the overall site work for the arena block, bollard installation, commenced at the intersection of Dean and Flatbush in the area of the southern subway vents and is continuing north along Flatbush, eventually continuing around the entire block. The bollard work is now complete along Flatbush Avenue. Other work that will be done as part of the site work includes sidewalks, installation of pavers, street furniture, street trees, light and signal poles, way finding signage, hydrants and the canopy to the new subway entrance. Construction of the plaza seating area at the tip of the site is now underway. Additional detail on the work will be provided as the contractor progresses. The curb installation work and street light installation work is now substantially complete on Flatbush Avenue. Sidewalk along Flatbush has been completed up to Transit emergency exit. Installation of the underground drainage within the plaza area located at the tip of the site and beneath the future plaza area located at the corner of Dean Street and 6th Avenue is substantially complete. The balance of the drainage will be completed as the work at the tip of Atlantic and Flatbush is completed in the Spring and Summer. A temporary asphalt working surface has been placed throughout the plaza. MPT along Dean Street and 6th Avenue has been repositioned in accordance with the approved DOT MPT Plan. Bollard and cub installation work along 6th Avenue and Dean Street has commenced. The construction of the site benches at the tip of the site is substantially complete. Electrical distribution work for the benches is substantially complete. The gate at Dean and 6th Avenue has been relocated to the position of the permanent truck dock for the arena. Approximately three (3) parking spaces along Dean Street directly across from this have been taken for construction purposes. The taking of these spaces continues to be necessary in order to maintain the turning radius for truck deliveries into and out of this gate. At completion a new fence will be installed in board of the new curb. It is anticipated that this condition will be in place for two months during which time all work will be completed, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen conditions.

Broadcast Lot Block 1128 The vacant lot at the northeast corner of Dean Street and 6th Avenue that is currently being used as temporary NYPD parking will be improved for use as an at grade broadcast location for the Arena. The improvements include permeable asphalt

paving, fencing with a decorative screen, lights which will be focused on the interior of the lot and pedestals for power and data connections. The DOB approved a Type 2 application. The permit will be issued within the two week period. The general contractor will mobilize at the site, erect standard construction fencing and perimeter protection immediately upon receipt of the permit during this two week period. The work is scheduled to be complete this fall. Prior to start of construction our environmental consultant will perform tests during the week of June 4th to classify the soils. The work may be done with a small excavator and is scheduled within this reporting period.

Dean Street Playground Comfort Station As part of the construction impact mitigation requirements AYDC will construct a comfort station in the Dean Street Playground near the eastern entrance to the park at Bergen Street between 6th and Carlton Avenues. The design, which includes mens and womens rooms, a small maintenance storage room and perimeter paving and landscaping, has been approved by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Community Board and the New York City Public Design Commission. The DOB permit has been issued. During this reporting period, the contractor will mobilize at the site, erect standard construction fencing and perimeter protection immediately upon receipt of an additional work license which is a NYC DPR standard requirement. The work is scheduled to be complete this fall.

Environmental Remediation Soil that has been classified as clean, contaminated or hazardous will be removed from the site as part of the excavation activities and brought to appropriate disposal locations. Where excavation and soil removing activities occur in areas of known Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (BL 1119, lot 1 & 64, BL 1118, lot 1 and BL 1127, lot 1) VOC monitoring will be performed as required in the Community Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) and VOC Best Monitoring Practices documents. CAMP monitoring is continuing on all areas of soil disturbance per the project plan, including excavation, grading and demolition. During the course of the excavation work, the contractor may encounter unforeseen contaminants, underground storage tanks or other structures. In the event that this happens and where appropriate, notification will be given to DEC, VOC monitoring will be continuously performed while excavating these materials and remediation steps will be implemented.

Maintenance & Protection of Traffic (MPTs) For Your Safety MPT continues to be in place along the southern side of Atlantic Avenue between Flatbush & 6th Avenue. Permits have been secured for the portions of the street immediately adjacent to the Tip of the project area. The southern eastbound lane of Atlantic Avenue continues to be taken behind an expanded MPT in order to facilitate curbs, street lights and sidewalk installation. This expanded MPT has been approved by DOT. The backfill over the water main is now substantially complete. MPT remains in place on the southern side of Atlantic between Carlton & Vanderbilt Avenues. Posillico/Tully previously installed car shop roof support columns through openings that were core-drilled in the sidewalk and work continues underneath in the car shop. This work will continue into June. All DOT permits remain in place. MPT continues to be in place for the Carlton Avenue Bridge South Abutment construction staging from Pacific Street. The exact location is in the intersection of Carlton Avenue & Pacific Street. This is not having an impact on the traffic flow at this intersection. The MPT on 6th Avenue, from Pacific Street to Dean Street and on Dean Street from 6th Avenue to Flatbush Avenue, has been relocated from the property line to the curb line to facilitate the installation of the bollards during this reporting period. MPT currently installed along Flatbush Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street is being reconfigured to allow the construction of site work on the Arena Block. MPT will continue to be adjusted during the times outlined below resulting in the following travel lane configuration along Flatbush Avenue:

o 6 AM TO 10 AM there will be three (3) northbound travel lanes and two (2) southbound lanes; o 10 PM to 6 AM there will be four (4) travel lanes, two (2) northbound and two (2) southbound; o All other times of the day, there will be three (3) southbound travel lanes and two (2) northbound. During overnight work hours (10 PM to 6 AM) the 8 construction fence will be removed and temporary timber barrier will be shifted out into the curbside travel lane to permit site work. The barrier will be removed and the travel lane restored daily in time for morning rush hour. A pedestrian pathway will be maintained along the east side of Flatbush Avenue. However, during night time work hours, 10 PM to 6 AM, the portion of the pathway between 5th Avenue and Dean Streets will be closed and pedestrians will be directed by a flagger (provided by the contractor) to the west side of Flatbush.

An 80 section of the northern Flatbush Ave. sidewalk west of Dean St. has been reopened to public use. In the future, if Hunt is required to do more overhead work, the NYDOB will be notified and the revised MPT will be re-implemented. Hunt will notify the OEM if this is to occur.
