UTILITIES
EXISTING CONDITIONS
GAS
This section is intended to describemajor
existing utilities within the Study Area. These
utilities include electric,gas, telephoneservice,
cable television, water distribution, and
sanitary sewagecollection.
The Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation
(NMPC) also providesnatural gas serylceto
the StudyArea. The NMPC receivesgas from
Gasline which enters
a 16-inchConsolidated

from
the
Study

the
Study Area and terminatingat the pressure
regulatingstationlocatednearthe intersection
of Wolf Roadand Metro Park Drive. From
this point, gas is distributedthroughoutthe
Town of Colonie as well as the Study Area
ttrougha networkof NMPC transmissionand
distributionlineswhich rangein size from 8 to
16 inchesas shownon FigureII-G-2.
ELECTRIC
Electric service within the Study Area is
provided by the Niagara Mohawk Power
Corporation (NMPC). NMPC has a network
of 34.5 KV and 1 15 KV transmissionlines
which currently supply ample electric power to
all its customers(see Figure II-G-1).
The Study Area is traversed in an east - west
direction by NMPC's Rotterdam- Menands
115kv, double circuit, tower supported,
transmissionline. This line supplieselectric
distribution
energy to the following
subslations,locatedin or adjacentto the Study
Area: Curry Road, Ruth Road, SandCreek. ln
addition to the I 15 kv lines, the Study Area is
crossed by a main 34.5kv transmission,
ruming east and west, from Rofterdam to
Niagara's Central Avenue Substation. This
line servesthree other distribution substations:
fufle Range, Karner Road, and Woodlarm.
The combined peak demand during the
summer (critical season) of 1995 on these
stationswas 65mva. This compareswith the
maximum combinedcapacityfor these stations
of approximately113 mva. Therefore,in a
generalsenseNMPC has excesscapaciry in or
adjacent to the Study Area available to serve
additional load.
These lines are adequateto meet current
needsin the Study
andcommercials
residential
Area. From the regulatingstationon Wolf
Road,a l6-inchNMPC line travelssouthwest
to the SandCreekregulatingstationand a 16inch NMPC line travels northeastto the
Shaker Road regulatingstation. From the
Sand Creekregulatingstation,an 8-inch line
entersthe srudyarea along CentralAvenue.
From theShakerRoadregulatingstation,a 12inch line enters the study area along the
WatervlietShakerRoad.
TELEPHONE
Telephone service for the Study Area is
provided by NYNEX. NYNEX currently
owns a seriesof primary copper cable and
fiber opticlinesdividedinto three(3) districts
servicingthe StudyArea. They are known as
the Latham, Guilderland and Schenectady
districts(see Figure II-G-3). The Latham

Latham Central office, west along Route 7 and
then south on Albany-ShakerRoad to a remote
terminal hut located on British-American
Boulevard. In addition, from the intersection
of Albany Shaker Road and Route 7, the
underground cable line makes a transition to
an overhead cable line which continues
northwest along Route 7.
The Guilderland District provides service to
the southem portion of the Study Area. This
district includes a major copper cable route
from the Guilderlandcentraloffice north along
New Karner Road and east along Watervliet
Shaker Road to the airport terminal hut. In
addition, there is a hber-optic cable route
paralleling the copper cable line until it
reaches a terminal hut located east of New
Karner Road.
The SchenectadyDistrict provides service to
the northern portion of the Study Area. The
district includes both fiber optic and cable
lines, rururingfrom the Clinton Avenue central
office into the Study A-rea. With the three
districts,NYNEX is able to adequatelyservice
all residential, commercial, and industrial
customersthroughout the Study Area.
CABLE TELEVISION
Cable Televisionserviceis provided within the
Study Area by Time Warner Cable. Time
Warner cunently provides cable television
servicewithin the majority of the Study Area.
The extent of serviceis illustratedon Fisure

for the Study AreaThe system draws raw water from three
sources: the Mohawk fuver; the Stony Creek
Reservoir; and the Mohawk-View Well
Complex. The LWD is limited to the
following quantities of raw water that can be
drawn from thesesources: 1) Mohawk River 15 million gallonsper day (MGD), 2) Stony
Creek Reservoir - 6 MGD; and 3) MohawkView Well Complex - 4 MGD. All raw water
is filtered and treated at the Mohawk-View
FiltrationPlant located on Onderdonk Avenue
in the northern portion of the Town of
Colonie, northeast of the Study Area. The
plant cunently producesan averageof 10.5
MGD and has a design peak capacity of 22.5
MGD.
In general, the Mohawk-View
Filtration Plant presently has the capaciry to
supply the Srudy Area with sufficient potable
water to meet current neeos.
Pumping
There are two primary htgh-lift pumping
stations located within the Town. The flrst
pumping station is located adjacent to the
Mohawk-View Filtration Plant on Onderdonk
Avenue. It is designedto deliver treated water
under high pressure through several
transmissionlines to distribution piping and

The distributionsystem within the Study Area
is comprisedof a nefwork of S-inch,10-inch,
and 12-inch water mains located along the
major thoroughfares of the Srudy Area as
shownon Figure II-G-5. Thesemains supply
existing residential developments as well as
commercial and industrial users.
Three of the LWD's storage tanks are located
adacent to the Study A-rea(seeFigure II-G-5).
Two are located proximate to each other on
Vly Roadjust outside the easternboundary of
the ShrdyArea. The smallest of thesetanks is
a standpipewith a 200,000 gallon capacity.
The second storage tank, located 600 feet to
the south, is also a standpipe but has a
capacity ol 1,000.000 gallons. The third
storage tank proximate to the Study Area is
the 3.4 MG Denison Road Storagetank, which
was constructedin 1989 at a cost of $1
million.
Transmission
There is presently an extensive network of
major transmission
lines which supplypotable
water to the Study Area. These are shown on
Figure II- G-5.
A 24-inch main runs from the Stony Creek
Reservoir, crossesthe Mohawk River, then
follows fuver Road to the water treatment
plant. From the treatmentplant, a 24-inch line
and an 8-inch line run south to Route 7, and a
2O-inchline runs to the east. The 24-inch line
is reducedto a l2-inch line and a 16-inchline

fall, adversely affecting the performance of
septic systems. Each request to install a new
septicsystemin non-seweredareasis reviewed
by the Departmentof Health.
IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
MEASUR-ES
ELECTRIC
The Mohawk-View Wastewater Treatment
Plant currently processesan averageof 3.1
MGD (62 percent capacity), but has an
ultimate design capacity of 5 MGD. Officials
of the Town of Colonie Pure Waters
Department plan to upgrade certain unit
processesat the plant during the next three (3)
year period. As part of the upgradeproject,
the Torm's consultant will update the
WastewaterFacilities Report generatedfor the
plant desigrrin 1971. Officials of the Town of
Colonie Pure Water Departrnenthave indicated
that there is capacity within the existing
sanltar,v sewer system to serve cufrent
wastewater needs.
As part of the West End Sewer Project. the
Town plans on extending the sewer system to
the northwest portion of the study area
including Michael Drive, Marie Sreet. St. Ann
Court and St. JosephStreet.
The Albany County Department of Health Environmental Health Office was contacted
regardingthe use ol'septic systemsin nonsewered portions of the Study Area.
Currently, part of the Study Area located to
the south and west of the Conrail railroad
tracks is unsewered and relies on septic
systemsfor wastewaterdisposal. According to
the Environmental Health Office, the area is
comprised largely
sandy soils.
of
Environmental Health Office personnel
explainedthat sandy soil conditions may drain
septage quickly causing contamination of
The combinedpeak electricdemandduring the
sumrner (critical season) of 1995 on the
substations within the Study Area was
approximately65mva. This compareswith the
maximum combinedcapacityfor these stations
of approximatelyI 13mva. These numbers are
an approximation since distribution feeders
radiate in all directions from substations.
Therefore, in a general sense NMPC has
excesscapacity in or adjacentto the Study
Area availableto serveadditionalload. This
is true in a broad view since the area is large
enough (as seen by the number of stations
cunently providing distributionservice to it) to
have portjons oI' the Study Area
both from a load standpoint
underdeveloped,
and fiom NMPC's facility standpoint. If
sufficient development were to occur in the
Study Area, NIvIPC would be required to
expand existing stationsand,/orconstruct new
transmissionline(s), distribution line(s), and
stations.
As an exampleof this, if enough development
were to occur in the southempart of the Study
Area (currently under developed), NMPC
might have to consider constructionof an
additional115-l3.2kvsubstationin the Cordell
Road area, served by a new 1t5kv
transmrssion
line(s)lappedfrom the main lines
running east and west. If the maximum
numberof dwelling units, retail and industrial
square footage wete to be constructed then
NMPC's facility would likewise have to
undergo significant expansion to serve the
load. Based upon the maximum number of
dwelling units arrd retail/industrial square
footageprojected,NMPC's load could increase
by 76mw, requiting faciiity expansion. The
timing and location of this expansionwould be
heavily dependenton the location and timing
of the development.
The costs for the construction of the above
improvements will be borne by NMPC unless
a relocation of existing facilities to a location
outsidea public R.O.W. or NMPC easementis
requested. This may result in the need to
acquire land or relocate existing overhead lines
underground. In either case, costs are passed
on to the entity requiring the relocation.
GAS
officials of the NMPC Capital Region Gas
Planning Unit have indicatedthat they do not
foreseeany difficulties with supplying natural
gas to meet future demands within the Study
Area underthe ProjectedGrou'th Development
Scenario. NMPC has stated that they will
supply natural gas to future customers either
by installing new mains where they cunently
do not exist or by upgrading the existing
distribution system.
The costsof supplying natural gas serviceto
new developmentsin the Study Area rvill be
determinedby the NMPC. Current practice is
for the NMPC to provide up to 100 feet of gas
line lbr eachnew residence. The cost for any
additional line necessaryis borne by the
developer. At no time during the 20-year
planning period will the Town of Colonie be
financially responsible fbr the extension of
existing natural gas serr''icesunless a relocation
of existing facilities is required by these
municipalities.
Setting and lmpact Analysis
TELEPHONE
Telephone service in the Study Area is
currently provided by NYNEX. Officials of
NYNEX have indicated that NYNEX r.vill
meet the cornrnunicationneedsof its customers
during the 20 year planningperiod as required.
The cost of any new construction will be
borne solely by NYNEX with no costs
attributable to the Town of Colonie.
CABLE TELE\TISION
Cable Televisionservicein the Study Area is
cunently provided by Time Warner Cable.
Officials of Time Wamer Cable have
explainedthat their current extensionpolicy in
the Town of Colonie is to provide 5-750 MtlZ
CATV serviceto all areasadjacentto existing
facilities which meet a density of 35 homesper-mile. Time Wamer works with other
utiliry companiesand individual developersto
ensure that their facilities are placed when
and electricallines are

installed. Offrcials of Time Warner Cable
indicatedthat their systemdesign will allorv

The cost of any new construciion will be
borne solely by Time Wamer with no costs
attributableto the Town of Colonie.
WATER
The estimatedadditionalaveragedaily water
demandfor the Study fuea underthe Projected
Growth DevelopmentScenariois 1,132,800
gallons per day (gpd). To determinefuture
peak demands,industry standardsrecommend
that a 2.9 peakingfactor be used. Therefore.
using the 2.9 peaking factor, the future peak
demand for the Study Area is 3,163,041
gallonsper hour (GPH).

Since the treatment plant is designed to
mitigate peak demands within the district, the
peak demand rate calculated above will be
addedto the current demand and comparedto
the designpeak capacit-vof the treatmentplant.
When comparingthesevalues.it can be seen
that the additional peak demand of
development within the Study Area will not
exceedthe capacity of the treatmentplant, but
the cumulative impacts of developmentwithin
the entire district will require improvementsto
be made.
Supply, Treatment, and Filtration
To meet the additional water demand for the
Study Area, the LWD must apply to the
NYSDEC for permission to draw additional
A
raw water from the Mohawk fuver.
the
preliminary review of the expansionof
Mohawk-View Filtration Plant to 38 MGD is
currently being evaluated. Constructionof
these improvements, however. rvill be
undertakenover a 5 to 10 year period. Total
improvement costs are estimated at S15
million. In addition to improvementsat the
treatment plant, the LWD proposesto make
improvementsto the existingintake structure
in the Mohawk River. includingthe dredging
of the intake channel. The estimated
constructioncost for these improvementsis
s400,000.
OfFrcialsof the LWD also plan to improve the
district's supply by improving grorndwater
supply capabilities to 10-12 MGD if the
groundwater is available. If sufficient
groundwateris not available,LWD persorLnel
have indicatedthat the potential may exist fbr

that, while the additional flow is in keeping
with the comprehensivesewer plan, all costs
required to construct sanitary sewer facilities
to r site must be borne b1 the developer.
The Town of Colonie typically requires all
new developmentto connect to its sanitary
sewer system. In areas where the new
development is located a substantial distance
from existingfacilities, the project is reviewed
to determine if extension of sanitary sewer
facilitieswould be cost prohibitive. In certain
instances, at the discretion of Town of
Colonie, on site systems could be allowed if
connectionis cost prohibitive. Sincethere is
no specificdistancewhen connection becomes
cost prohibitive, these projects must be
reviewedon a project-by-projectbasis.
UTILITY IMPROVEMENT COSTS
APPORTIONMENT
Fire Protection
Installing new water mains in previously
unservicedareaswill provide fire protection
benefits to those areas. Typically a fire
hydrant is irstalled on a water main every 250
to 500 feet apart. This benefit may also result
in lower fire protection insurance for those
areasserviced with fire hydrants.
SANITARY SEWER
The total additional averagedaily wastewater
flow generatedwithin the Study Area under
the ProjectedGro"rth DevelopmentScenariois
1.132,800GPD. A peakinglactor of 4.0 is
used for computing future peak demands in
accordancewith Town of Colonie Pure Waters
Department. Therefore, peak demand is

Distribution of Costs
To establishDevelopment Mitigation Costs,
the total cost of all utility improvements must
be calculatedbasedon cost per dwelling unit
(D.U.) for residentraldevelopmentand cost per
square foot for industrial/commercial/retail
development. The calculationof these costs is
based on the percentagesof the total normal
daily water demandconsumedbv each type of
devclopmentas outlined below:
Residential Cost
(Cost of Improvementper Sub- Area) x ((Peak
ResidentialFIow Rate) - (Peak Residential+
PeakCommercialFlow Rates))+ Qrlumberof
Water Dwelling Units) : S/D.U.
Cost
Industrial/Commercial/Retail
(Cost of Improvementper Sub- Area) x ((Peak
Commercial Flow Rate) -: (Peak ResidentialPeak Commercial Flow Rate); = S.F. of
bLrildingspace: $/S.F.
Table II-G-4 summarizesthe residentialcost
(S,D U ) and Industrial/Commercial,Retailcost
($/SF) for sub- areas1, 2, 3. ;1.and 5.
Excessive Water Users
Certain types of facilities use water in excess
of the averagerates used for calculating water
usagein this study. Theset,vpesof facilities,
which could include a bottling plant or other
manufacturingfacility, present problems in
planning for new development,as their rvater
requirementsare unexpected. Therefore.for
these types of uses, the required water
improvement mitigation costs could be
calculated in a manner different than that
presentedpreviousl.v.
A mitigation cost basedon per gallon of water
used could be calculatedusing the Average
Daily Water Demandof the facility. Dividing
the cost apportionmentfbr water improvements
in a subareaby the total Average Daily Water
producesa mitigation
Demandfor rhesub-area
($)/Average
cost
Daily Water Demand. This
cost ($)/Average Daily Water Demand may
then be multiplied by the Average Daily Water
Demand for the proposed use to determine a
mitigation cost. Table II-G-5 summarizesthe
cost (S/GPD) calculated for each water
improvementsub- areausing this approach.
N on- Confo rmin g Water Uses
Other types of development may exhibit
characteristics
of residentialand commercial
users. These types of uses could include a
home for the elderly or an apartmentcomplex.
For these type of uses. the mitigation cost
could be basedon an apportionedamount ol
equivalent number of residentialdwelling
unrts.
Assuming there are 2.56 people/average
residentialdwelling unit, an equivalent number
of dwelling units could be establishedbasedon
the estimatedpopulationof the nerv facility.
The mitigation cost could be then be
calculated by multiplying the equivalent
number of residentialdrvelling units x the
residentialcost (S/D.U.) tbr the sub-area.

in an effort to update the formerly-aged
inigation system by converting it to an
automated,water-conservingsystem using less
labor-intensive equipment.
Water is cwrently obtained from the Latham
Water District at two (2) connection points.
These are located on Consaul Road (8"
diameter main) and on Lisha Kill Road (6"
diameter main); both are metered.
Average daily water usage to inigate the
existing 27 holes in 1987 was estimatedto be
between300,000and 400,000gallonsper day
depending on the extent of seasonaldroughts
(from J. Kerureth Fraser and Associates'
"Town of Colonie ProposedMunicipal Golf
Course Irrigation System Alternative Water
Supply," November 1988 report). However,
water metering records indicate a gradual
reduction in water usage, which can be
attributed to the 1987 improvements,as well
as better irrigation process management
practicesimplementedby the golf course staff.
As a result of these improvements, the daily
averagewater usagero irrigate the 90-acre. l7hole course in the past three (3) years has
decreased to between 59,000 and 157,000
gallons per day. The latter value represents
the water consumedin the 1995 season.which
rvas consideredto be an extremelvdrv sorine
and summer.
The additional nine holes the Tor.vn is
considering could feature many water
conservationmethods in comparison to the
existing 27 hole course. It is recommended
that a state of the art irrigation system(i.e.,
more efficient sprinkler heads. valves,
controllers) be used. By using a high
efficiency irrigation system,the future nine
holes would be able to conservewater and
maximize the avai.lablewater supply.
Modem equipmentthat could be used includes
electrically-operatedvalves to control flow to
several sprinkler heads. The control valves
could be connectedto field satellites,allowing
the user to remotely (and automatically)
managethe whole course'sirrigation at a more
precise and conscious .level. A central
programmer could control the course-wide
network of these field satellites,providing the
user with the flexibility to more effectively
This
control the inigation process.
programmerwould allow the user to tailor the
irrigation process around the golf course's
needs by adjusting the amount of moisture
required at specific areasof the course based
on each area's topography, soil cover and
moisture levels (i.e., dry areas,slopes,tees,
fairways); based on natural precipitation
or no irrigation during and
received(decreased
after rainfall events); based on amounts of
evapo-transpiration
occurring at different areas
of the course(this varies accordingto several
weather factors), etc.
In general, this
equipment would eliminate guesswork frorn
irrigation process, and optimize the water
supply availablefor irrigatior..
The typicat irrigated area for a regulation nine
hole golf course is approximately30 acres.

(On typical courses,irrigation headsare placed

waterand in operatingcostsas well.
Since rhe golf course.along rvith any other

mitigationcost,to offset the constructioncosts
of such improvements. Becauseof the nature
of its water usage, the Town Golf Course
could be considereda non-conforminguser.
Therefore,a mitigation cost would have to be
calculated based on its specific water
requirements.
