ing on the cvailab11ity of e soil scientist for
this work. The town \'lould ðecide how area is to
be used - residential, commercial or industrial
and the W.C.S.C.D. would guide us on feasibility.
·The Board of Supervihprs ot the W.C.S.C.D. J) upon
application ca.'1 ass1gl1\ a soil scientist on the
basis of available man hours to. block cut the t;O~'!l
and provide rough soil s~ey. RoughlY 30~OOO acres
can be surveyed L"'l a year. The Planning Board 'Would

The sóil ·~urvey ~ould· be very helpful to our plaIL."l-
1ng 'consultants and 701 money can be used for this.
Perhaps a credit can be given by our consultants to
release money for this survey. A similar s~-vey has
been completed in Saratoga County ~r an area of
2,~OOO acres. The results can be seen at Ballston Spa.
. Hilliard offered to meet with us and Sorrinto to fur-
~hur explain and show GJ<:ampies 01' what :~his is about.

Andersen said we are in good position to;apply and
rece1ve this help as no one else in the county has
an application pending.' A letter should go to Clay-
ton Martindalea Chairman ot Board ot Supervisors of
W.C.S.C.D. They w111·decide if tiroe can be alloted
to block 'meppmg of OUI' town.
A genera.l soil map 'ldll be available of Warren County

8. Joseph A. Kestner, Jroo Engineer for the QueensbUl~Y
Water Districts tali~ed to us about Water Pollution Control.
(A) Queensbury applied for Se11erage study funds ur..der
Sèction 1263A. Article 12 of the Public Health Law
early but State rejected to\in app1icat1on in tabor
of an area study. Ii joint application. (nudson River
Bend Comprehensive Se\~rage Study), is pending in-
·cluding the City of Glens Falls. Villages of Fort
Ed\olard. Hudson Falls. South Glens Falls.. 'fo'\ms of
Queensbury. KingsburY!J Fort Edward and l-loreau.
This covers 54.000 people and cost of study \.".111 be
met by State.
l...;
The study will include a core area where facilities
are now required and a fringe area for future fac-
ilities. These areas do not necessarily cover. the
entire area of all the towns. Alternate plans \OlOuld
be developed for sewerage andse\t."Sge treatment. One
would include Queensbury participation \or1th Glens
Falls and one would be so Queensbury could build 1t,~
own. The study will take 9 months to 1 year to com-
plete once approved.
The public has to be ·sold on the need for a costly
sewer works. Costs run $30-$,0,000 per mile of' sewer.
Need good design and construction. We are uSing
about 2% more water each year and this has to be dis-
posed of.
Detergents from septic tanks often get into water
supply in individual systems.
68% of urban sewage is now adequately treated. lO,
(C) New York State Water Pollution Control Board was set
up 10 years ago ·to coordinate water supply and sewage
and sewage disposal.
"
The State has been divided into water sheds and these
have been classified as follows: AA Special - No
eftluent dischar¡ed into water, AA - Drink with chlor-
1natio~ A - Drink it filtered and chlorinated, B - use
tor swimming. C - use for fish1ng, D - use for Indus-
trial and Agricultural. E - use tor navigation. None
01' these classes are to have any t1bating solids or oils.

(D) Any cOillmt~Lity can &pplY for federal assistæ~~ee
Federal will pay 30% af cost for se\mge treat-
ment a..Vld. (~éwers) vrl1ich intercept existing poll-
ution. Funds are äva11able up to ~p600,OOO. If
Federal funds run out then State ~~ll ~rovide
s1:lpplsmental f'unds. State 1.'1111 pay ~O% o~ oper-
ating expenses only. ,
Local municipalities can borrow more £or se~rer-
age works than for other projects.
(E) The most economical solution would be for a single
plant for the core area with provision to service
.." all ~r ,parts of the fringe ~ea in the future.
A plant "lith 10 times the capacity v111l only cost
5 times as much.
Under a large district, the plant would have to be
operated on a 2>+ hour basis. Queensbury could op-
erate its 0\\,'11 plant on an 8 hour basis with provis-
ion for a relief operator working about 114 'of the
time. .
G
In a treatment plant one gallon of liquid comes in
and one gallon has to go out. For disposal into the
Hudson -River. the solids would have to be settled
out (primary treatment). For disposal into Halfway
Brook, the effluent would require aeration (second-
ary treatment). ;"'The theorv ~.s to treat sufficiently
so the stream can taL:c beat8&! ...... Without, 'nuisance.
.... .~
(F)
Users would be charged on the basis of sewer rents
or special assessments leviëd by the sewer d1s~rict.
The To~1.n Board determines basis of cost. Assessments
would be on a benef1 t basis.
(G) We.. should keep Mr. Kestner 1nformed of what we are
doing and our expected needs for se'iage facilities
in various areas of Queensbury.
