RE: Notice of Special Use Permit Extension Request: as it relates to the CVE North America Special Use Permit
to construct and operate a Solar Energy Facility at 53 Quaker Ridge Boulevard, Queensbury, NY 12804
Dear Members of the Planning Board,
CVE North America ("CVE") was issued a Special Use Permit ("permit") by the Town of Queensbury Planning
Board on 7/19/22. The permit is set to expire on 7/19/23 and CVE would like to request a 6-month extension to the
validity of the permit, bringing the new expiration date to 1/19/24.
CVE has made great progress since the permit was originally issued. CVE has finalized interconnection, put
a construction team in place, and secured financing. CVE is requesting the extension to allow additional time to
finalize the decommissioning bond and draft and review our construction drawings.
CVE is requesting that the extension apply to all ancillary approvals to the Special Use Permit as well,
including the SEQR Negative Declaration, the Site Plan Approval, and the Freshwater Wetlands Permit.
We appreciate the consideration and hope to have a continued successful relationship with the Town.
Sincerely,
Carson Weinand

LaBella Associates P.C. 1 20 Elm Street, Suite 100 ( Glens Falls, NY 12801
www.labellape.com
Your office has requested that we limit our review to stormwater management systems as they relate
to compliance with local and State codes and regulations. Based upon our review of the information
submitted, we offer the following comments for the Town's consideration.
1. According to the site plan application, the project will disturb 1.50 acres and is located inside the
Lake George Park. Therefore, the project's compliance requirements with the applicant Town
and State stormwater regulations are as follows:
a. Town Code 147-8: required because disturbance >= 1 ac.
b. Town Code 147-9 and 147-10: required for all projects.
c. Town Code 147-11: required because inside LG Park, project classified as "Major
Project" because disturbance >= 15,000 sf.
d. NYSDEC GP Coverage: required because disturbance >= 1 ac.
2. It appears the northern Cold Weather Infiltration Trench is located less than 100' from the
wastewater absorption field. The Applicant shall revise the plan to provide the adequate
horizontal separation as per Section 147-11.1(3)[4] of the Town Code.
3. The Applicant shall make an inquiry to the NYS OPRHP regarding Archeological Resources and
Historic Places as it relates to the development of the site. The Applicant shall provide
correspondence once received and include it in the SWPPP.
4. The Applicant shall make an inquiry to NYS DEC regarding impacts to threatened and
endangered species as it relates to the development of the site. The Applicant shall provide
correspondence once received and include it in the SWPPP.
5. It appears an exfiltration rate of 4.0 in/hour was used for both the upper and lower vegetated
basins in the HydroCAD model. The infiltration tests, included on the Site Plan, supports 1.5 in/hr
for the lower basin and 0.75 in/hr for the upper basin. The Applicant shall provide supporting
documents for the exfiltration rate used in the HydroCAD model or revise the design accordingly.
6. The Applicant shall provide a complete draft of the eN01 with all the applicable sections filled out
and include it within the SWPPP.
7. It appears the post- development peak runoff flow rates for the 100- year storm is not less than
or equal to the pre -development rate. The Applicant shall provide attenuation for the 100- year
storm or provide documentation that downstream flooding is not a concern.
8. The standard and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires `A temporary
site specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the
site during construction activities in the winter months to protect off -site water resources. This
standard applies to all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and
2
exposure between November 15th to the following April 1st."The Applicant shall provide a
separate, temporary site specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan, if construction
activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure is planned after November 15th. This
erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all requirements of the winter stabilization
specification referenced above.
9. The Applicant shall provide a water quality analysis of the site and provide associated documents
and sizing calculations for the proposed infiltration practices. The Applicant shall submit the
required and provided volumes for both water quality and runoff reduction.
10. The concrete washout should not be located within or immediately adjacent to the conveyance
swage adjacent to the driveway.
11. A maintenance inspection schedule for the contractor shall be provided within the SWPPP. The
intent is to ensure continuous and effective operation of the erosion and sediment control
practices.
12. The following comments are relative to stormwater related details provided in the plans:
a. Sheet 291921-01-D2, Driveway Section -detail notes call -outs are cutoff at the
bottom of the detail;
b. Sheet 291921-01-D3, Culvert End Section Detail - a 12" layer of NYSDOT Medium
Stone Fill is specified, however NYSDOT Medium Stone Fill is typically 12" to 24" in
average size. Please verify specified stone fill (in all applications) and ensure the
layer thickness specified is 1.5 times the average stone dimension.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The technical comments above are significant in nature. We therefore recommend that the Board
require the applicant to update their application to address these comments.
