Re: Shearer - Residential Site Plan & Area Variance Reviews
52 Russell Harris Road – Queensbury
On-Site Wastewater Certification Update
RUH 22-052
Dear Chairmen Traver & McCabe, and Board Members,
As part of the site plan design in accordance Queensbury Code §179-3-040(5)(e) this office has recently
observed the current condition of the existing on-site wastewater system presently serving the Shearer
property.
The existing 3 bedroom on-site wastewater system is a Puraflo enhanced treatment NSF 40 mound system
with septic tank and time dosed pump station, designed by this office. The system was approved by the
Board of Health (Town Board) and permitted by the Town on 6/6/2016. The wastewater system was
installed in the Spring of 2018 with function of the Puraflo units and pump station verified by equipment
supplier/distributor (Emmons Pump & Control, Inc.) 5/15/2018 and certified by this office on 6/6/2018.
As reported by the owner, the wastewater system has functioned as designed without issue since the
installation and startup of the system. From recent observation of the system by this office, it is our belief
the system continues to function as previously designed and is in line with the recently implemented
(early 2023) LGPC on-site wastewater standards.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 518-792-2907 or via email at
