RE; J&D Marina, LLC, 2546 State Route 9L, Queensbury, New York — On-Site Wastewater
Treatment System Evaluation
Dear Mr. Brown and Mr. O' Brien:
SRA Engineers has completed an evaluation of the existing on-site wastewater treatment and
disposal system located at the J&D Marina, LLC. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine
whether the existing system complies with the technical requirements of current cosies and
standards for the existing uses at the facility and for proposed renovations to the building.
Applicable codes and standards include the NYSDEC Design Standards for Wastewater
Treatment Works in the Lake George Basin and the Town of Queensbury Codes Chapter 136 —
Sewers and Sewage Disposal and Chapter 137 — Septic Systems_
Existing Facilities Evaluation
On January 18, 2023, 1 conducted a site visit and observed the facility and the wastewater
treatment system components. The existing wastewater treatment system consists of two (2)
sewage pump stations, one located at the office f retail store building and one located at the
boat shop building, both of which deliver sewage to a 1 ,250-gallon capacity septic tank. Effluent
from the septic tank flows by gravity to a distribution box that distributes septage to a shallow
trench absorption field, consisting of five (5) 50400t long absorption trenches_ The system
appears to generally comply with engineered plans titled Castaway Marina Wastewater System
prepared by James Hutchins, P.E. , dated November 6, 1998, with the exception of the location
of the sewage pump stations and septic tank. Actual locations for these components are
depicted on the attached SRA Engineers drawing titled Castaway Marina Existing Conditions
and Parking Plan_
According to accounts by the existing facility operator, the system has functioned properly with
no problems during its 25 years of operation_ A recent property transfer inspection of the septic
system by the Town of Queensbury Building and Codes Department identified minor
deficiencies, including a damaged distribution box, unsealed pipe penetration at one of the
pump stations, and exposed wiring at a pump station alarm. All deficiencies were repaired and
the Town issued a final inspection on January 12, 2023 report indicating the system has passed
inspection and appears to function properly under current loading conditions_ At the time of my
inspection, all components appeared to be operating properly and there were no signs of
current or historical failures at or around the absorption field such as staining, stressed
vegetation, water breakout, or odors_
According to the 1998 wastewater system plans, the system was designed for a daily design
flow of 500 gallons per day (gpd). Based on our review, the sizing and design of the system
Craig Brown and John O'Brien February 17, 2023
Page 2 SRA Job #23-069
components are met for current codes and standards for a system capacity of 500 gpd.
Minimum horizontal and vertical separation distances are met for all system components with
the exception of the existing condition location of the sewage pump station for the office 1 store
building, which does not meet the horizontal separation requirement to the on-site drilled well
and Lake George.
Activities at the facility include the seasonal operation of a marina with slips available for a
maximum of 74 boats. There is one wastewater pump-out station on the docks and one fuel
dispenser. Restrooms and showers are available for members on shore. There is a retail store,
office, recreation room, and boat repair maintenance shop located on-premise. A maximum of
14 employees work at the facility including 10 full-time in the shop, 2 full-time in the office I
store, and 2 seasonal deck hands. According to the NYSDEC design standards, one method of
determining design flow is in accordance with Table 13-3 Typical Per-Unit Hydraulic Loading
Rates, which are summarized forth is facility in Table 1 below:
Marina with shore side 20 gpd per 74 slips 17480 gpd
restroom facilities including slip
shower
Marina additional for 7 gpd per slip 74 slips 518 gpd
wastewater dump station
Employees 15 gpd per 14 employees 210 gpd
employee
Total Design Flow Per Table B-3 2 208 gpd
There is a significant discrepancy between the design flow of the existing system of 500 gpd
and the wastewater demand determined by unit flow rates of 2,208 gpd. That the system has
operated for over two decades with no apparent problems suggests that the actual wastewater
flows generated by the facility are significantly less than the design flows determined from the
tables in the code.
Other methods for determining design flow are allowed by code, including obtaining metered
daily wastewater flow data from existing and similar facilities (Section B.6.b). It is recommended
to measure daily wastewater flow rates at the facility for a minimum of one full operating season.
This can be accomplished by installing run timers on the two sewage pumps and comparing the
daily run times for each pump to its pumping flow rate in its current configuration. After
obtaining actual wastewater Flow data over the course of a season , a determination can be
made regarding existing system adequacy or the need to expand or otherwise modify the
existing wastewater treatment system.
Proposed improvements at the Facility
Proposed improvements to the existing office I retail store I bathroom/recreation building include
the continued renovation of the recreation room to include a storage room, kitchenette with a
sink, and a single laundry washer and dryer for use by members only and updating the finishes
in the existing bathrooms and showers_ The addition of the sink in the recreation room will
Craig Brown and John O'Brien February 17, 2023
Page 3 SRA Job #23-069
coincide with the removal of an existing sink used by members in the vicinity of the showers and
bathrooms. With the exception of the addition of the washer 1 dryer, these improvements do not
constitute any change in the uses at the facility that would cause an increase to wastewater
flows.
It is therefore proposed to allow building permits to be issued to complete the renovations to the
building, with the exception of the installation of a washer 1 dryer. Fallowing the collection of
actual existing wastewater design flows, a determination can be made regarding any
improvements to the wastewater disposal system that would be necessary to include the
washer / dryer.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Erik C.F. Sandblorn, PE

Dear Chris:
Thank you for your letter of April 01' regarding my complaint about the Castaway
Marina' s use of tax map parcel 16.- 1 -37. 1 .
It has been one month since your letter and to the best of my knowledge, the property is
still being used for boat and equipment storage. I have not been advised of any use
variance application and, therefore, I am not sure where we stand at the present time.
I would appreciate it if you could bring me up to date on this matter.
Sincerely,

Re: Tax Parcel 18.-7-37: 9
Expansion of Marina {Operations-!Notice of Violation
Dear Mr- Mathews:
We have received a complaint regarding expansion of the Castaway Marina use onto
an adjoining property currently owned by J&D Marina LLC. We have reviewed the
historical land use approval records {site plan, variance, and special permit} for the
marina operations and land use approvals associated with tax parcel 16-1 -37. 1 . This
letter identifies our determination that no marina uses have been approved for tax
parcel 16-1 -37. 1 .
Tax parcel 16-1 -37. 1 and the properties comprising the Castaway Marina are currently
zoned Waterfront Residential One Acre (WR-1A). Commercial uses such as marinas
are not allowed uses in the WR-1A zone. Non-conforming uses that legally pre-exist
the zoning ordinance are allowed to be continued and maintained in reasonable repair,
but not expanded.
Based on a review of the historical record associated with this use and a site visit
conducted by Craig Brown with your cooperation on March 10, 2000, it is our
determination that the storage of boats, boat trailers, and associated items on tax parcel
16-1 -37. 1 constitutes an illegal expansion of the marina operation sifacilities.
This notice of violation of the Town's zoning ordinance requires either removal of all
illegal uses or issuance of the necessary approvals. The expansion of a non-
conforming use requires issuance of a use variance by the zoning board of appeals
(ZBA).
Please contact this office within ten (10) days to discuss the disposition of this matter.
Respectfully
T wn of Queensbury

Re: Castaway .Marina
Dear Dr. Merrigan:
We have received your March 30, 2000 letter and I have reviewed the same with Craig Brown,
and I would like to address your concerns with the following information.
The property in question, tax map parcel 16.- 1 -37. 1 is currently zoned Waterfront Residential;
(V*7R-lA)_ Commercial uses such as marinas are not allowed uses. Non-conforming uses that
legally prc -exist the zoning ordinance are allowed to he continued and mainWne+d in reasonable
repair, but not expanded_
After- review of the historical record associated with this use, it is evident that the usage of the
above referenced parcel was never contemplated or reviewed during any of the approvals that
were issued by the Town of Queensbury. Therefore, it is my determination that any usage,
however minimal, of tax. parcel 16.- 1 -3 7, 1 in conjunction with Castaway Marina constitutes the
expansion of a non-conforming use. This unapproved expansion could be remedied either by
removal of the unapproved use or by the issuance of a Use Variance from the Zoning Board of
Appeals, for the expansion of a non-conforming use.
This office will notify J & D Marina, LLC, current owner of the parcel in question, of my
determination as well as the options outlined above.
Should you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.
Sincerely,
Town of Queensbury

Re: Complaint of zoning violation: Castaway Marina/J&D Marina, L C'
Dear Chris:
This letter represents a formal complaint regarding the J&D Marina located on Rt. 9L in
Queensbury.
The complaint specifically refers to a violation of the zoning ordinance for illegal use of
residential property by the J&D Marina for boats, trailers, and equipment storage as well
as automobile parking during boating season.
I am referring specifically to the undeveloped residential parcel at the very end of Seelye
Road in Cieverdale located between the land of James and Mary Ellen Merrigan tax map
#16- 1 -37.3 Seelye Road and the boat storage area of the J&D Marina. This is parcel 92
on the enclosed map dated November 22, 1972.
The use violation, as identified on the enclosed map, represents an ongoing development
of that section of the residential lot into marina parking and boat/trailer/equipment
storage. The parking, lot has gradually been expanded approximately 20' X 90'onto the
residential lot. The latest expansion occurred this fall ( 1999) when the owner built a
septic system and at the same time extended the parking area to the current depth of 2W .
This complaint does not include the septic system.
It should be noted as well that a 10 kious marina owner, Henry Heirn, was granted a
variance (#605 dated 2/79) and the minutes of the proceedings of the Zoning Board of
Appeals refers to a buffer zone being established between the residential area and the new
marina boat storage building and parking-area- At that time, Mr. Heim indicated that the
residential lot would remain wooded to satisfy the concerns of the ZBA regarding
protecting the quality of the residential community.
I would appreciate the zoning department looking into this matter_ I have researched the
matter carefully with Craig Brown, the zoning enforcement officer, and believe that my
complaint is valid and that the zoning ordinance applies to this situation and needs to be
enforced.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time. I would
appreciate a response in writing regarding the outcome of this complaint.
Sincerely,
amen P. Merrigan, Ph_I].
