RESOLUTION RELATIVE TO PROPOSED WARREN COUNTY SEWER DISTRICT FEIS
RESOLUTION NO. 242, 93
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Michel Brandt
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Nick Caimano
WHEREAS, in 1992, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
adopted a resolution acknowledging that a Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the proposed Warren County Sewer District was
submitted in September of 1990, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury then noted
that it had come to their attention that there were potential flaws
in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement which had not been
properly addressed and that the Town Board would like to go on
record with the recommendation that the Warren County Sewer Project
exclude the North Queensbury sewer system as proposed, and that it
supported the rest of the sewer project, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has reviewed
or been informed of the impact to the North Queensbury residents
caused by the Lake George Park Commission Waste Water Management
Regulations Interim Operating Permits (IOP), and the IOP's require
remedial action at the end of the three years, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board acknowledges that it has been informed
that on FEIS pages 111-135 it is stated that:
It was determined in Chapter 5 that the degree of need
for the new waste water facilities varied between
the
subareas of the southern basin. For example,
Queensbury improvements are needed immediately due to
the widespread difficulties in meeting the LGPC Waste
Water Management Regulations for private on-site
systems.
Areas such as Area P in the Town of Lake
George also have a documented need, however the need is
currently less critical than that in Queensbury,
and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has been informed by Mr. Salvador and
Mr. Boehm that apparently comments raised concerning the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement and Final Environmental Impact
Statement concerning sewer impacts in the North Queensbury area
have not been addressed because the County has apparently excluded
the sewer project from the North Queensbury area in view of
Resolution No. 399, 1992 adopted by the Town Board of the Town of
Queensbury, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury desires to
indicate its opposition to the failure to address comments raised
in the DEIS and FEIS,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
indicates its opposition to the failure to address the aforesaid
comments on the DEIS and FEIS, and that it is interested in a sewer
project that might include other alternatives involving the North
Queensbury area, and therefore, would request that the Full
Environmental Impact Statement respond to all Queensbury comments,
including:
-Utilization of on-site systems to continue wherever possible
-Acceptable alternate locations to the Pickle Hill Treatment
Plant
-Construction of small neighborhood systems including the use
of alternative and innovative technology
and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that to the extent that this resolution is
inconsistent with Resolution No. 399, 1992 adopted by the Town
Board of the Town of Queensbury that the resolution is hereby
amended accordingly.
Duly adopted this 12th day of April, 1993, by the following
vote:
AYES: Mr. Tucker, Mrs. Monahan, Mrs. Goetz, Mr. Caimano,
Mr. Brandt
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
