Kestner, Jr. Consulting Engineer 189 North Lake Avenue Troy, New York October 19„ 1962 ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR THE TOWN OF QUEE14SBURY, WARREN COUNTY, NEW YORK ` TO ACCOMPANY APPLICATION JFOR COMPREHENSIVE STUDY AND REPORT FOR COLLECTION, TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE 1. Introduction The Town of Queensbury i's situated in the southeast corner of Warren County. It is bounded on the north by hake George and the Town of Caldwell; on the east by the Towns of Fort Ann and Kings- bury in Washington County; on the west by the Town of Luzerne; and on the south by the City of Glens Falls and the Hudson River. The Town had a population of 4,,199 during the 1940 Census„ and a population of 100 004 during the 1960 Census. The Town of Queensbury is now a. firstclass town in the State of New York, and the most rapidly developing business and commercial townshipiin the southern Adirondack area. Its population has doubled since World.Was° II. Areas of the Town, west and north of the City of Glens Falls,, are served by public water supply from. the City of Glens Falls water system. Plans are underway for the development of- a Town water supply from wells in the Rush Pond area west of Zoute 9. The proposed water system will provide public water supply and fire protection northerly along Route 9 for a distance of approxi- mately three miles north of the City of Glens Falls. westerly along Aviation Road, and easterly from Route 9 along Quaker Road to the Ridge Road area. r Residential and commercial establishments in the Town of Queensbury are served in general by individual sewage disposal facilities, except served by the City of Glens Falls ' facilities. Public sewerage and sewage treatment facilities are needed to serve the densley populated, residential and commercial areas in s the Town, particularly north of the City of Glens Falls in the Halfway Brook area. High groundwater levels in this vicinity and the concentration of residential and commercial establishments maketit impossible to provide adequate sewage disposal with individual facilities. 56 2. Description of the Area to be Studied The Town of Queensbury is situated generally in the Take Champlain drainage basin, with the exception of the southerly portion of the Town,, east and west of Glens Falls„ which drains toward the Hudson River. The central portion is drained by Halfway Brook and the Glen Lake outlets: which join in the central portion of the Town near Hamlet of Queensbury. Halfway Brook continues easterly from this location through the Towns of Kingsbury and Fort Ann in Washington County and discharges into the Champlain Canal in the vicinity of, Fort Ann. The northerly part of the Town contains intensive development of summer residences along the shoreline of Fake George in the Dunham Bay, Harris Bay and Warner Bay areas. Individual sewage disposal systems serve the shoreline cottages and summer homes, all of which are tributary to the Lake George and outlet drainage basin. 3. Scope of Proposed Study The northerly portion of the Town located along the shore- line of Lake George contains dwellings and business establishments which have been required for many years to provide adequate leaching systems, none of which may be located within 50 feet of the water's edge of the Lake or any of its tributaries. In many instances shoreline cottages pump their sewage away from the shoreline to sandy ground for adequate subsurface disposal. The cost of public sewerage and sewage treatment to serve this •resort area is considered prohibitive. An inspection of the area will be made to determine any locations with inadequate individual sewage disposal. Two small p-odds in the area, Round Pond and Lake Sunnyside,, have no outlet. These areas will be inspected to determine the adequacy of the sewage disposal systems. The shoreline of Glen Lake is densely developed for summer resort purposes. An inspection of this area will- be made. to determine the locations of inadequate disposal systems. The populous areas in the Town of Queensbury, north and westt of the City of Glens Falls, tributary to the Halfway Brook drainage basin along Aviation Road, Route 9. and Quaker Road to Ridge Road will be studied to determine means for providing sewers and sewage treatment in this area.. Alternate studies will be required to determine the feasifility of providing a treatment i plant with effluent discharge into Halfway Brook,.and the possibility of sewering to the system of the City of Glens Ralls or a Town system discharging treated effluent into the Hudson River. Populous areas and areas of potential development north of the Hudson River and .located east and west of the City of Glens Falls will be studies to determine means for providing public sewerage and sewage treatment facilities. r 4. Map- of the Proposed Area to be Studied for the Collection,, Treatment and Disposal of Sewage The accompying USG$ map indicates the boundaries of the Town of Queensbury included in the proposed study. The City of Glens Falls is not included in the study area inasmuch as it is served with a municipal sewerage system and sewage treatment plant. The proposed comprehensive study and report will conclude these items outlined under Far. 44.3 Additional Requirements, Items (a) thru (e), as well as those items under Section: 1263-A, Article 12„ of the Public Health Law-. 257 Joseph A.
