RESOLUTION NO. 12024
INTRODUCED BY:
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY:
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board duly established the Greater Queensbury
Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District(District) in accordance with New York State Law, and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 344,2023, the Town Board authorized engagement of
Delaware Engineering, DPC (Delaware), for the provision of professional engineering services
regarding the design, bidding, construction administration and observation services related to the
rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer system within the District specifically within the former Pershing-
Ashley-Coolidge Sewer District located in the Broadacres area of the Town that borders the City of
Glens Falls (Project), and
WHEREAS, Delaware has prepared an Engineering Report dated February 2024
concerning the proposed Project, together with an estimate of the cost of such improvements, and
WHEREAS, the Engineering Report has been duly filed in the Town Clerk's Office and made
available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, although the Town of Queensbury is a town partially within the Adirondack
Park, the District does not contain State lands assessed at more than thirty-percent (30%) of the
total taxable assessed valuation of the District, so permission of the State Comptroller for the
proposed expenditure is not required under Town Law §202-b(5), and
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
RESOLVED that:
1. The Project is a SEQRA Type II action in accordance with 6 NYCRR Section
617.5(c)(1) and therefore the project is not subject to SEQRA review.
2. The proposed improvements are:
(a) rehabilitation of the sanitary sewers with cured-in-place pipe to provide
structural integrity to the pipe and seals it from inflow and infiltration;
(b) rehabilitation of the existing manholes to provide structural integrity and seals
them from inflow and infiltration.; and
(c) installation of three (3) additional manholes at the municipal boundary to
delineate the sewers and one (1) additional manhole on Ashley Place near Coolidge
Avenue, and replacement of an existing clean-out at the dead-end of the sewer
system. The manholes will be installed as access points for maintenance and are
required at the end of sewer lines per the Recommended Standard for Wastewater
Facilities also known as the Ten States Standards.
3. The estimated cost of such improvements is $285,380.
4. The cost of the improvements will be paid from the Greater Queensbury Consolidated
Sanitary Sewer District's Fund Balance.
5. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, March 18t', 2024 to hear all persons
interested in the rehabilitation and improvement of the Districts' facilities as described above and to
take such other and further action as may be required or authorized by law.
6. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
publish and post a Notice of Public Hearing not less than ten(10) days nor more than twenty(20) days
before the public hearing date, as required by Town Law §202-b.

1.4 INTRODUCTION
101 Purpose and Need for the Project
This report has been prepared as directed by Town Law Section 12-A, Section 202-b. The
Town of Queensbury awns and maintains the sanitary sewer system, which serves three
sewer districts. The Town of Queensbury has aging sanitary sewers and manholes in the
Pershing Ashley and Coolidge area that need to he replaced and/or rehabilitated. The
older sanitary sewers are made from vitrified clay pipe (VCP), which are more
susceptible to cracking and root intrusion. Sanitary sewer pipes with cracks and root
intrusion can have negative impacts on the environment because during drier seasons,
untreated wastewater may exfiltrate into the surrounding ground. During wet weather,
inflow and infiltration (I&I) from groundwater will enter the sanitary system, which will
eventually go to the wastewater treatment facility. I&I does not need to be treated at the
wastewater facilities, and the increase in flows requires larger equipment and additional
electrical costs. The Town of Queensbury is proposing to rehabilitate existing sanitary
sewers and manholes in the Pershing Ashley Coolidge area, which consists of the
rehabilitation of approximately 2,000 linear feet of existing VCP, the rehabilitation of 4
existing manholes, and the installation of new manholes.
1.2 SEQR
In New York State, most projects or activities proposed by a state agency or unit of local
government, and all discretionary approvals (permits) from a NYS agency or unit of local
government, require an environmental impact assessment as prescribed by 6 NYCRR
Part 617 State Environmental Quality Review (SEAR). The basic purpose of SEQR is to
incorporate the consideration of environmental factors into the existing planning, review,
and decision-making processes of state, regional, and local government agencies at the
earliest possible time. To accomplish this goal, SEQR requires that all agencies determine
whether the actions they directly undertake, fund, or approve may have a significant
impact on the environment, and, if it is determined that the action may have a significant
adverse impact, prepare or request an environmental impact statement.

TOWN OF QLEENSBURY SANITARY SEWER REHASILITA-riON PROJECT
According to 6 NYCRR Part 617.5(c)(1 ), actions that entail "maintenance or repair
involving no substantial changes in an existing structure or facility" are not subject to
review under SEAR. Since this project involves the maintenance and repair of
infrastructure, it falls under this exemption and is therefore not subject to review.
2.0 SEWER REHA.BILIATIOwN PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2*1 Pershing Ashley and Coolidge Area.
The Pershing Ashley and Coolidge (PAC) area is served by the Queensbury Consolidated
Sanitary Sewer District in the Town of Queensbury (Town) that borders the City of Glens
Falls (City). The sanitary sewers in this area were installed in the 1950s and 1960s and
are made from vitrified clay pipe (VCP), which is more susceptible to cracking and root
intrusion. Additionally, the manholes in the sanitary sewer system were constructed from
bricks, which have deteriorated over time and are susceptible to inflow and infiltration
(I&I).
The preferred method for rehabilitating the sanitary sewers is curc&in-place pipe (CIPP),
as it involves less disturbance during construction and is cost-effective. Rehabilitating the
existing manholes provides structural integrity and seals them from I&I. Similarly,
rehabilitating the existing piping with CIPP provides structural integrity to the pipe and
seals it from I&I.
The sanitary sewer flows from PAC area within the Town of Queensbury and flows to
the City of Glens Falls sewer system. There is no line of delineation for the sewer system
between the Town and the City. Three (3) additional manholes will be installed at the
municipal boundary to delineate the sewers. One ( i ) additional manhole will be installed
on Ashley Place near Coolidge Avenue and replace an existing clean out at the dead end
of the sewer system. Manholes are installed as access points for maintenance and are
required at the end of sewer lines per the Recommended Standard for Wastewater
Facilities, also known as Ten States Standards.
