Dear Tom,
This letter is to let you know that the District has requested a 2 year time extension for this grant from the NYSDEC. This
is not unusual as contracting dates and construction times do not always fit together well for project completion,
especially when addressing multiple projects in several towns.
For the town of Queensbury there have been changes to the original projects that the District had selected due to site or
landowner issues. Projects have been chosen in their place and have been approved by the NYSDEC as they meet the goal
of the program and they are within the same watershed(Champlain—Lake George and Halfway Brook). Here is a
summary of the changes:
• Assembly Point Knox Intersection-Bioretention/porous pavers has been cancelled it was replaced by Sunny Side
East project-filter sox will be installed along roadside. Hoping to get this one completed this fall.
• Pickle Hill Tributary-three drywells has been cancelled replaced by Fort Amherst—boiretention going in the
Spring of 2018.
• Lockhart south project-large drainage in combo with Bay Road-one drywell-hoping to add this to the list of
projects possibly this fall.
• Chestnut Road Glen Lake—one drywell cancelled and replaced with Birch road drywell install—completed and
reimbursed.
• Lockhart north project drywells,turnouts,one drywell cancelled,replaced by woodchuck Hill project-completed
waiting for invoices and match hours,equip,etc...for grant for reimbursements.
• Birdsall Road—boiretention system going in the spring of 2018.
Please let me know what questions you may have and what other information you would need.
Sincerely,
Jim Lieberum,CPESC

WHEREAS, in 2014 the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District
(WCSWCD) was awarded a stormwater improvement grant funded by the New York State

($4,000);

Fund will establish funding for expenses associated with the Project as set forth in the preambles
of this Resolution, and
BE IT FURTHER,

RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Town Budget Officer
to temporarily $39,000 from the General Fund #001 to Capital Project Fund #209 as the Town
will have to spend the money before it may be reimbursed from WCSWCD as previously set
forth in Resolution No.: 272,2015, and
