1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Hamlet of Callicoon, located in the Town of Delaware in Sullivan County NY, is served by a 100+ year old, privately held, public water system. All but a few of the homes and businesses in the Hamlet are served by the water system. Lack of access to needed capital for system maintenance and upgrades has made it increasingly difficult for the owner to meet regulatory mandates. As such, the Company has requested that the Town of Delaware assume ownership of the system. This will allow for increased access to state and federal funding needed to bring the system into regulatory compliance. The Town has commissioned Delaware Engineering, D.P.C. to prepare a Map, Plan and Report (MP&R) to assist the Town in making an informed decision as to the public benefit of forming a special water district.

Established in 1904, the community water system is owned by the Callicoon Water Company (CWC), a private corporation. The New York State Department of State Incorporation Record is included as Appendix A in this report. The water company has 168 accounts, serving both domestic and commercial users, and provides fire protection to the Hamlet. The system has been assigned the Public Water Supply ID# NY5203321 by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).

Because the system is a privately held company, water rates are subject to the approval of the New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC), which has budgetary review and approval authority over all water company expenditures and proposed rate increases. Water rates have been fixed for the last seven years. If the Town assumes operation of the utility, it would no longer be subject to Public Service Commission oversight.

The Hamlet’s water system is also subject to the regulatory authority of the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), and will continue to be following district formation.

Historically, the CWC has been unable to collect sufficient revenue to fund a capital reserve budget for infrastructure upgrades and improvements. Due to the increased costs associated with regulatory compliance and maintenance of the 100+ year old water system, the CWC has requested that the Town of Delaware assume ownership of the water system. Establishing the new water district would increase the likelihood of the Town obtaining state and/or federal funding to address system deficiencies. In accordance with NYS Town Law 12-A, the Town of Delaware commissioned Delaware Engineering, D.P.C. to prepare a Map, Plan, and Report (MP&R) and to assist with the district formation process. As part of this process, a project has Page 1 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

been identified which will enhance the reliability of the system and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The project was identified in a 2017 Engineering Report, prepared for the Town by Delaware Engineering, D.P.C, and in this MP&R. The project is currently listed on the NYS Environmental Facilities Drinking Water State Revolving Fund 2018 Annual Intended Use Plan (NYS EFC DWSRF 2018 IUP), which is the first step in applying for state funding for the project. A copy of the NYS EFC DWSRF 2018 IUP listing is included as Appendix B in this report.

Forming a special improvement district, whereby a specified area within a town receives services beyond what other town residents receive (e.g. water service), is permissible under NYS Town Law (Article 12 & 12-A). Residents within this district will be levied a separate user charge for this additional service. Currently, residents residing in the Hamlet of Callicoon pay water fees to the Callicoon Water Company (CWC). If the district were to be formed, the Town would acquire the CWC water facilities and assume control of operations and billing for utility service charges.

Forming a special improvement district is a multi-step process which will take several months. The initial step is for the Town to prepare a Map, Plan, & Report (MP&R) which will identify the limits of the district, the existing infrastructure that is in place, the upgrades necessary to meet current regulatory standards, estimated costs and financing for the upgrades (grants/loans), operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and estimates for the fees that will be charged to the users to provide this service. Appendix C of this report includes a map of the existing water system, a proposed district map and a comprehensive list of parcels to be included in the new water district.

If the MP&R is acceptable to the Town, a public hearing will be held to review the Report with residents that would be affected by district formation. If the residents and the Town are in favor of doing so, the district could be formed following approval of the Town Board. District formation is subject to permissive referendum.

Pursuant to Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing regulations contained in 6 NYCRR Part 617, formation of the district is also subject to the requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). At its regularly scheduled January 10, 2018 meeting, the Town Board unanimously passed Resolution #4-2018 Declare Intent to Serve as Lead Agency (SEQR) for Creation of a Special Improvement District and to Affect System Repairs Needed to Bring the System into Regulatory Compliance. A certified copy of this resolution along with all related SEQR documentation is included in Appendix D of this report. The Board determined the action to be Type 1, requiring a coordinated review with potentially involved agencies. Involved agencies are those agencies that have discretionary authority over a proposed project. For this project those agencies would include the NYS DOH, NYS DEC and the DRBC. A complete list of agencies contacted as part of this review and a copy of Page 2 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

the Full Environmental Assessment Form is included in Appendix D of this report. The purpose of the coordinated review is to identify any potential negative environmental impacts that may result from the Board’s action. Following notification to the other involved agencies, and upon receiving no objections, the Board completed the required State Environmental Quality Review. Subsequently, at its regularly scheduled February 14, 2018 meeting, the Town Board passed Resolution #16-2018 Adopt A Negative Declaration for the Hamlet of Callicoon Water Supply Project. A certified copy of this resolution, included in Appendix D, was submitted for publication in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Environmental Notice Bulletin.

Formation of the water district may also be subject to the approval of the NYS Comptroller’s Office. The need for Comptroller approval is dependent on the final user rates that will be levied, the financing plan for the improvements, and input from the residents that will be served. At a minimum, the Comptroller’s office will need to be notified of the district formation, with documentation as to how it was formed, so that it can be recorded in state files. A copy of the New York State Comptroller’s Office 2018 Special Districts Memo is included in Appendix E of this report.

If and when the district is established, it is recommended that a water code be written and incorporated into the Town Code. The water code will identify how water rents will be set and collected, terms of service connections, user requirements, etc.

The CWC holds title to the real property where the springs, wells and storage facilities are located. Formation of the district will require the transfer of all assets, including real property, to the new Town Water District. A complete list of real property assets is included in Section 8 of this report. Property Description Reports from the Sullivan County Office of Real Property Tax Services for all of the parcels are included as Appendix F of this report.

2.0 EXISTING COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEM

Source, Pumping and Treatment: The Callicoon Water System consists of two wells, two springs, one 250,000 gal covered reservoir, one 8,000-gallon elevated storage tank, and approximately 3 miles of ductile and cast-iron service mains.

Well Sources Well #1, the primary source for the water system, is a shallow caisson well that was originally brought into service in 1957. It is located at 6 Creamery Road (Tax Map ID 12.-1-39.2) on a Page 3 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

0.92acre parcel owned by the CWC. Water from Well #1 is treated with sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and ortho-phosphate for corrosion control. Well #1 is metered as per a DRBC order issued in 2012.

Well #1 is located near the confluence of the Delaware River and the Callicoon Creek. While this location is advantageous in that the well is able to maintain production levels even during periods of low rainfall, it is located within the FEMA designated 100-year floodplain. The building does not meet current FEMA regulations for construction in a floodplain. When flooding does occur, the operator must remove the pump to prevent damage from flood waters. When Well #1 is taken offline, the Hamlet relies on reserve capacity from the reservoir and obtains additional water from a secondary spring source located on St. Joseph’s Seminary Road.

During the 2006 flood, water levels rose to 6 ft. above the floor of the well house, flooding the building and destroying major electrical components. In response to the area flooding, Sullivan County cut a 60-foot-wide bypass channel from the Callicoon Creek to the Delaware River just west of the well house. The channel is within 50 feet of the well. During periods of heavy rainfall, high turbidity levels have been observed in Well #1. As such, filling in the channel would mitigate water quality impacts during high stream flow events.

The well is set to operate based on the water level in the 250,000 gallon Freemont Street water storage reservoir. A level sensor on the storage tank is connected to a phone line which relays the level signal to the well controller. When the reservoir reaches a low set point, the well is activated. When the level sensor senses that the reservoir is full, the well pump automatically shuts off.

Well #2 is a 160’ drilled well located at 10 Railroad Avenue on a 0.02-acre parcel (TMID 14.-5-7.2) owned by the CWC. This was the original well for the water system and supplemented the original spring sources. In recent years, due to a decrease in water usage by the Delaware Valley Job Corps Academy (DVJCA) and the closing of a local summer camp, system demand has significantly decreased eliminating the need for Well #2. As such, Well #2 has not been actively used since 2013.

The pumphouse building houses the well head, pump, chemical treatment and electrical components. In order to bring Well #2 back online for regular use, the structure will need to be repaired and the well retested to ensure that the water quality is in compliance with New York State Part 5 regulations.

Page 4 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

Spring Sources The Callicoon Water System currently employs two spring sources, SP-1 known also as Mitchell Spring and SP-2 known also as Blacker Spring. Both springs are located off of St. Joseph’s Seminary Road, in the western part of the Hamlet. These sources are used to supplement withdrawals from Well #1, the water system’s primary water source. Historically, the springs served as the Hamlet’s only water source. In 2012, the DRBC ordered the metering of all source waters. A meter was installed in the spring house, but is not currently operational.

Water from the springs flows into the system when system pressure decreases to allow for flow from the springs. Sodium hypochlorite is added to disinfect the water before it enters the public water supply distribution system. Contact time is minimized due to the size of the outfeed line and proximity of the users. Spring source flows vary with seasonal conditions requiring the operator to regularly adjust chemical feed rates. It is anticipated that once the two wells are repaired and certified for use by the Department of Health, the springs will be eliminated as a water source.

Distribution: The distribution system consists of nearly 17,000 feet (3.1 miles) of 4”, 6”, and 8” ductile and cast-iron pipes, valves and hydrants. The earliest part of the system dates to 1914 when Mitchell Spring was developed and the distribution pipes were installed for St. Joseph’s Seminary (now the Delaware Valley Job Corps Academy). The majority of the system was installed between 1957 and 1967 when the system was expanded throughout the center of the Hamlet and west to Del Vue Terrace. The 1970s saw some minor expansion of the distribution system to previously unserved properties in the center of the Hamlet. In the 1990s, the service area was again expanded to include properties along Viaduct Road.

Based on metered source water flows, water demand for similarly sized communities, and wastewater returned to the Callicoon wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), it is suspected that the system loses a significant amount of water due to leakage in the distribution system. However, until such time as all sources and system users are metered, it is not possible to determine the extent of the problem. It has been noted by the system operator that the area of the Hamlet known as Del Vue Terrace consistently experiences the most problems with watermain breaks and leakage.

The Callicoon water system produces water in quantities far in excess of that produced by much larger communities. The table below summarizes some area communities and their water usage data.

Page 5 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

POPULATION # OF SERVICE AVERAGE WATER USE PER CONNECTIONS WATER CONNECTION PRODUCED Village of Walton 3,088 1,198 305,600 255 gpd Village of 374 199 50,000 gpd 251 gpd Franklin Hamlet of 625 224 47,000 gpd 209 gpd Downsville Hamlet of 172 167 125,000 gpd 645 gpd** Callicoon* Hamlet of Cooks 160 82 10,000 gpd 122 gpd Falls *Includes DVJCA, which averages nearly 18,000 gpd. It currently serves 173 students and has 105 staff members. ** For 166 service connections— NOT INCLUDING DVJCA

As part of the proposed upgrade, 7,150 feet of distribution pipe will be replaced. It is anticipated that repair of the distribution system will significantly decrease the volume of finished water that will be produced. If water production rates fall below 100,000 gallons per day (gpd), the water system will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the DRBC.

Storage Facilities: The Callicoon water system has two water storage facilities. The primary capacity is held in a 250,000-gallon enclosed reservoir located at 110 Freemont St. on a 0.64-acre parcel (TMID 13.- 3-15.2) owned by the CWC. The reservoir is in excess of 40 years old. In 2010, the roof was replaced as part of a capital improvement project. A pump house is located adjacent to the reservoir. Pump #1 supplies water to an 8,000-gallon elevated storage tank on Del Vue Road. Pumps #2 and #3 are owned and operated by the DVJCA, and supply water to an 80,000-gallon storage tank that exclusively serves the facility. The CWC supplies water to the DVJCA, but the Academy retains their own licensed operator to provide O&M for the campus’s distribution, pumping and storage facilities. The DVJCA is the largest user of the Callicoon Water System.

An 8,000-gallon elevated storage tank is located at 121 Del Vue Road on a 0.04-acre parcel (TMID 13.-3-21) owned by the CWC. It provides water to the Del Vue Terrace residential development. This tank has reached the end of its useful life and had been scheduled for replacement in 2009 as part of the capital improvement project that included the roof of the Freemont St. reservoir. Unfortunately, cost increases precluded the completion of both projects at that time. The tank is currently scheduled for replacement by the CWC in 2018. While the water system does have fire hydrants in the Del Vue Terrace area, the 8,000 gallon tank provides limited supply for firefighting purposes.

3.0 PROPOSED NEW DISTRICT

Establishment of the water district will require the transfer of all CWC assets to the new Town water district. This includes all real property where the springs, wells, and reservoirs are located and all buildings, equipment and appurtenances located thereon.

The proposed new district bounds will encompass the existing system in the Hamlet of Callicoon. Parcels that are currently served by the existing system will be included in the new district. A complete list of parcels to be included in the new district is included in Appendix C of this report. Property owners will pay a fee for continued water service, albeit to the district instead of the water company. The Town of Delaware would assume control of the existing system including all O&M as well as billing and collection. There will be some parcels which have private water systems (wells) and some parcels that have no water service (vacant land), which are bounded in the newly formed district. Approximately 30 parcels are expected to fall into this category. Vacant Parcels are designated by property class code 300 -399 (Appendix C). While these parcel owners will not receive a bill for water usage, they will be responsible for fees associated with the debt service on the water system loan.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES – NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS

Both wells will be need to be taken offline in order to complete the necessary upgrades. Since upgrades to well house #1 will require the well to be temporarily shut down, the rehabilitation of well house #2 should occur first to reestablish the well as a viable water source.

Well House #2 Well House #2 is a 12’ X 24’ block building with a gabled roof and steel panel roofing. It has three doors (one on front, and one on each side) and no windows. The exterior is in degraded but serviceable condition, and the roof appears to be only a few years old. The 160’ well was drilled in 1948 and has an average capacity of 60 gallons per minute (gpm).

Recommended Improvements: Exterior • Replace front entrance door with new steel door • Replace side access doors with windows for natural light • Repair any degraded block, scrape and paint

Page 7 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

Interior • Spray foam insulate interior block walls and roof rafter spaces and finish to meet Class C flame spread and smoke developed indexes for interior wall finishes • Redevelop well • Refurbish/replace well pump • Upgrade electrical components and install transfer switch for back up electrical power in case of power failure while Well #1 is under reconstruction • Install flow meter • Install level probe • New chemical injection system for disinfection and corrosion control • Well testing in accordance with New York State Part 5 regulations

Well House #1 This well house is located in the Delaware River/Callicoon Creek flood plain. It currently houses the well, pump, chemical feed system and electrical components. Well #1 has a capacity of 167 gpm. There is a small addition on the rear of the building used for chemical storage.

In order to comply with NYS Building Code regulations for construction in a flood plain, the building will need to be raised such that the finished floor is elevated 2 feet above the base flood elevation (BFE) for the location. According to FEMA Map No. 36105C0243F, the BFE for that location is 757’. A map prepared for the CWC indicates the first floor elevation to be 751.3 feet. Minimally, the finished floor elevation of the well house will need to be raised 7.7 feet in order to be in compliance with NYS Building Code standards for buildings located in the floodplain. The FEMA Map is included as Appendix G in this report.

Currently, water from Well #1 is treated solely by chemical addition. Due to the shallow depth of the well (24.5 feet), the water is susceptible to the influence of surface water, although the NYSDOH has not determined it to be under the direct influence of ground water (GWUDI). A GWUDI determination would require filtration of the water supply. The planned upgrade project includes the addition of a redundant filtration system. This would preclude the possibility of any future GWUDI determination for the Well.

Recommended improvements: • Demo existing structure • Raise grade elevation to comply with NYSBC for construction in a flood plain • Construct new 20’ X 30’ (600 sf) building to house the well, pump, chemical treatment facilities, new filtration system, and chemical storage.

Page 8 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

• Redevelop well • Install a new generator system to supply emergency power

Water Meter Installation In 2012, the DRBC issued an order requiring the CWC to install meters at all water service connections by 2022. At this time, only the service connections of the four largest consumers are metered. It is anticipated that the plumbing in user’s properties will need to be modified to allow for the installation of the meters. Costs for these modifications are included in the upgrade plan. It is anticipated the Town will engage a third-party contractor to modify the plumbing and install the meters. Modifications will include the installation of a meter horn and a shut off valve.

• Install digital remote read meters at all service connections • Replace 4 existing meters with digital remote meters

Watermain Replacement The distribution system consists of approximately 17,000 feet of 4”, 6” and 8” cast and ductile iron pipe of various ages. The 4” lines do not meet the minimum requirements for fire flow. As part of the system upgrade, all 4” lines will be replaced and upsized. According to the system operators, watermain breakage occurs most frequently in the Del Vue Terrace development.

Recommended Improvements: • Replace the following watermains, valves, and hydrant assemblies as listed below. Diameter of Length of Location pipe (in.) pipe (ft.) Type of pipe Year of installation St. Joseph's Seminary Rd. 4 910 Unknown 1914 Railroad Ave. (W) 4 485 Unknown 1958 Mill St. (E) 4 640 Unknown 1960 Mitchell Ave. 4 235 DI 1966 Highview Ave. 4 235 Unknown 1977 Gregory St. (N) 4 230 DI 1992 High St. 4 390 Unknown 1992 Del Vue Rd. 6 1,955 Unknown 1960 Del Vue distribution line 6 1,050 Unknown 1960 Del Vue Terrace 6 1,020 Unknown 1965 Total 7,150

This represents 43% of the total distribution system.

Page 9 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

Floodplain Reclamation Following the flood of 2006, Sullivan County cut a bypass channel connecting the Callicoon Creek and the Delaware River. This put the well at risk for potential ground water contamination.

Recommended Improvements: • Return the area that is now a bypass channel back to its original state by filling in with suitable granular material

5.0 PROPOSED DISTRICT OPERATIONS

Day to day operations of the water system will be turned over to the Town of Delaware. The Town could opt to hire out daily operations to a third-party operations contractor, or they may choose to hire a part-time operator. Either way, the NYS DOH requires that public water system operators obtain a public water supply operator certification. Additional administrative assistance may also be required to assist with billing and collections. In 2017, the CWC spent $48,795 per year on personnel expenses.

The part-time operator will be responsible for the day to day operations of the system. Duties will include, but are not limited to:

• Operating pumps, valves, motors and related machinery and equipment; • Maintenance work and minor repairs to machinery, equipment and instrumentation; • Recording readings of meters, gauges and scales; • Regulating and adjusting chemical feeders; • Water sampling for testing; • Keeping a log of plant operations and related records; • Performing custodial duties in connection with maintenance of buildings and grounds; • Testing water samples for color, turbidity, taste, odor, oxygen value, alkalinity, chlorides, pH value and related factors; • Recording results of tests, maintaining a variety of laboratory records and preparing reports; • Assisting the Water Department business office by explaining technical matters to the public and addressing consumer complaints.

Page 10 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

The proposed upgrades include the addition of remote read meters. Remote read meters will enable the Town to obtain water usage data without having to enter the service address. This saves considerable billing time and expense. The new water code rules and regulations will determine whether this will be done on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. An employee will need to be designated to perform this function.

6.0 REGULATORY REVIEW AND APPROVAL REQUIRED PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION

Design and construction of the proposed water system improvements will be in conformance with Recommended Standards for Water Facilities - Great Lakes Upper Mississippi River Board of State Public Health & Environmental Managers (2014) and commonly referred to as the Ten States Standards, applicable NYSDOH Design Standards and the NYS Uniform Building Code. Plans will be submitted to the NYSDOH for review and approval.

Plans will also be submitted to the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) for review and approval. Because the system is located in an area identified as “special protection waters”, a Non-Point Source Pollution Control Plan is also required to be prepared and submitted.

With respect to the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process, a coordinated review with all interested and involved agencies was completed in February 2018. Additional site- specific standards required and/or recommended by the involved agencies will be incorporated into the design documents. SEQR review is required to be completed prior to submittal of the NYSEFC DWSRF application. The deadline for application submittals is March 1, 2019.

Since the estimated cost to the typical property owner detailed in Section 8 is less than the 2018 threshold established by the NYS Comptroller’s office, Comptroller approval to form the district will not be required.

A detailed Formation, Financing and Implementation Schedule is included as Appendix H in this report.

7.0 MAXIMUM AMOUNT TO BE EXPENDED

For the Callicoon Water System to continue to provide quality water to the community, the system requires rehabilitation. Based on the project scope previously detailed, an estimated project cost of $4,094,900 has been prepared. The project is currently listed on the NYSEFC

Page 11 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

DWSRF 2018 Intended Use Plan and has been determined to be eligible for a grant/loan package. The loan portion of the project cost is $1,637,960. This represents 40% of the total project cost, and is the maximum amount to be expended by the Town to finance the improvements. This amount assumes a fixed loan rate of 0% for a term of 30-years based on a “hardship determination” letter received from the NYSEFC. A copy of this letter is included as Appendix I in this report.

8.0 DETAILED EXPLANATION OF COSTS

Costs for obtaining the water system: The Town proposes to purchase the water system including the land with buildings and equipment thereon and all distribution lines, transmission lines and appurtenances, free of any liens or encumbrances. The following is a list of the assets to be obtained as part of the transfer of water system ownership. Once the Town accepts the title to the real property listed below, these parcels will become exempt from local land taxes.

The annual assessment of special franchise is the responsibility of the Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS), Valuation Services Bureau (VSB).

While the proposed improvements detailed in Section 4.0 are eligible for grant funding and low interest financing through the NYSEFC – DWSRF program, the costs associated with engineering services (which includes the preparation of the preliminary engineering report, this Map, Plan and Report, environmental reviews, and funding applications), the costs for obtaining the properties (title searches and legal fees), and the costs for the real property were not included in

Page 12 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report the original request for funding application. The Town will need to secure financing for these costs.

COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FORMING THE WATER DISTRICT AND OBTAINING THE WATER SYSTEM Engineering Services: $35,000 Real Property: $60,772 Title Search/Easements: $12,000 Total: $107,772

ESTIMATED DEBT SERVICE FOR WATER DISTRICT FORMATION 10-YEARS @ 4% Debt: $107,772 Annual Debt Service $12,776 Annual Cost/EDU*: $37 *Estimated 343 EDUs for the Hamlet across 167 service connections

Costs for System Improvements: The table below details the cost associated with the proposed improvements that are necessary to ensure that the water system can continue to provide safe, reliable drinking water to the Callicoon community. These costs include fees associated with the short-term financing that will be needed while closing on the long-term loan. A more detailed Capital Improvements Cost Estimate is included as Appendix J to this document.

ITEM COST ESTIMATE Construction and System Upgrades $2,922,800 Professional Services, Short Term Interest & NYSEFC $817,100 Issuance Costs Contingency $355,000 Total $4,094,900

An Engineering Report was completed in October 2017 and submitted to the NYSEFC along with a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan Project Listing Form. The Town will be submitting a complete application to the NYSEFC DWSRF program which, if approved, could provide funding through their grant (60%) and loan (40%) program. An estimated annual user cost associated with the financing is given below. These estimates are determined as a function of the cost to a typical single-family home or Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). (EDUs are an equalization factor used for determining rate impacts on system users. A single-family home =1 EDU; a duplex =2 EDUs; a restaurant (depending on the number of seats) might be 3 EDUs, which means that the restaurant is considered to use the same volume of water as 3 single-family

Page 13 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

homes). The number of EDUs is typically based upon actual metered water use. Since the Hamlet’s water system is unmetered, an estimate of the number of EDUs, based upon the number and type of users, is given below. For this estimate, a typical single-family home was considered to use 167 gpd or 61,000 gallons/year. The Hamlet of Callicoon is estimated to have 343 EDUs, including an estimated 108 EDUs for the DVJCA. Appendix K has additional information concerning EDUs.

ESTIMATED NYSEFC DWSRF FINANCING FOR PROPOSED IMPROVMENTS (60% GRANT/40% LOAN) 30-YEARS @ 0% Total funding request: $4,094,900 40% of total: $1,637,960 Annual Debt Service: $54,600 Annual Cost/EDU*: $159 *Estimated 343 EDUs for the Hamlet across 167 service connections

Water use fees will be collected by the Town to finance the costs associated obtaining the water system, O&M of the system, and financing of the proposed upgrades. In 2017, the CWC reported gross annual revenues of $85,722, and O&M expenses of $103,637. These figures are exclusive of property and payroll taxes paid by the CWC. The 2015, 2016 and 2017 CWC Profit & Loss statements are included in Appendix L of this report. Should the Town choose to assume ownership of the water supply, a number of expenses related to the operation of the system could reasonably be expected to be removed from the expense ledger. These include costs associated with office rent ($4,243/yr) and property taxes ($8,756/yr). Additional O&M expenses could reasonably be expected to decrease once the system upgrades are completed. These savings will primarily result from the decrease in the costs associated with water production. Once the watermains are repaired, the system should realize a significant decrease in the volume of water produced. Replacement filters for the new filtration system planned for Well#1 will be a new expense for the water system. Estimated costs for purification chemicals and filters are given below.

The Town will need to hire a part-time water system operator and potentially a part-time administrative assistant for office work. An estimate of annual water system O&M expenses is given below.

ESTIMATED ANNUAL WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Operations and Maintenance Expenses: $35,000 Administrative Expenses: $20,000 Water Testing: $2,500 Purification Chemicals and Filters: $6,000

Page 14 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

Repairs and Maintenance: $22,000 Insurance: $4,000 Miscellaneous Office Expenses: $2,500 Other (Professional Fees, Training, Licensing): $1,500 Energy Costs: $20,000 Contingency: $20,000 Total Expenses: $133,500 Annual Cost/EDU*: $389 *Estimated 343 EDUs for the Hamlet across 167 service connections

In 2016, CWC records indicate that the system produced 45.649 million gallons (MG) of water, or 125,000 gallons, on average, each day. Once the distribution lines are replaced, it is anticipated that the total volume of produced water will decrease. It is estimated that the Callicoon water system will reduce the volume of treated water to approximately 22MG/year or 60,000 gallons per day. This represents 48% of the current volume. Once the volume drops to less than 100,000 gpd, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) will no longer have regulatory or oversite authority.

9.0 COST TO THE TYPICAL PROPERTY

Since the majority of the service connections are not metered, users are charged water use fees based upon the number of fixtures (kitchens, baths, washing machines) at the service address. Under this scenario, larger homes generally pay more than smaller homes, regardless of actual water usage. The typical single-family home (SFH) currently pays approximately $360/year for water.

For the purposes of this evaluation, a typical single-family home is assumed to have 1 kitchen, 1.5 baths, a set of laundry tubs, an automatic washing machine, and an outside hose connection. The rate structure currently used by the CWC for single family homes (service classification No.1) is included as Appendix M in this report. Cost to the typical property, based upon the rate structure currently in place, is given below.

TYPICAL RATES AND POTENTIAL IMPACT FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOME* (SFH) 40% Loan @ 0% Interest for Annual O&M Cost for Typical SFH: $389/year Annual Debt Service for Planned Improvements: $159/year (for 30-years) Annual Debt Service for District Formation: $37/year (for 10-years) Estimated Total: $585/year Estimated Current Costs to SFH: $360/year Increase: $225/year (62% increase) Page 15 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report

The planned system upgrade includes the installation of water meters at all service connections. Once the meters are in place, users will be charged based on actual water use.

Water rates have been set by the Water Company for the 4 users that are currently metered, and each user pays based upon actual water usage. Current metered users pay a base rate of $2.56/1,000 gallons for the first 100,000 gallons, $2.40/1,000gal for the next 150,000 gallons and $2.12/1,000 gal for the remaining usage. Once all service connections are metered, these water rates will need to be adjusted to ensure that the costs associated with the O&M of the system are covered by the revenues.

Property owners can expect changes to their water billing structure over the next several years, with the first change occurring once the new water district has been formed. It is anticipated that the Town will discontinue using the fixture fee schedule currently in use by the Callicoon Water Company. For the Hamlet of Callicoon sewer district, the Town has established sewer rents based upon EDU count and will adopt a similar fee schedule to establish initial water rents. Ultimately, once all of the service meters are installed, the Town will develop water rates based upon actual metered use. Final rates for metered water usage will not occur until the Town has collected sufficient data to set a fee schedule that is able to fund the water budget detailed in Section 8 of this report.

10.0 METHOD OF FINANCE

The needed improvements to the water system are anticipated to be financed through the NYSEFC’s DWSRF program. The Town has had an engineering report prepared and the project is listed on the NYSEFC 2018 Annual Intended Use Plan. EFC has awarded a score of 180 points for this project. The Town was notified that they are eligible for a grant/loan package from NYSEFC and have been encouraged to submit a complete application to determine a viable financing plan.

Additionally, the EFC has determined that the Town is qualified for “hardship financing”, and as such, is eligible for 0% financing for the project.

11.0 STATEMENT AS TO BENEFIT ASSESSMENT

As required by Article 12-A of the Town Law, the costs associated with debt service and O&M for the Town Water District will be charged on a benefit basis. That is to say that, each holder of real

Page 16 April 2, 2018 Town of Delaware, NY Callicoon Water District Map, Plan and Report property that will benefit from the district formation will be levied an equal share of the costs associated with forming the district, financing the upgrades, and O&M of the system.

Notice of Intent to Serve as Lead Agency

Delaware Engineering, D.P.C. February 14, 2018 NOTICE OF INTENT TO SERVE AS LEAD AGENCY UNDER SEQRA Lead Agency Must Be Designated within Thirty (30) Calendar Days

This Notice is issued pursuant to Part 617, Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law (State Environmental Quality Review Act) for the purpose of designating a Lead Agency for a coordinated environmental quality review of the following Proposed Action:

Date: January 12, 2018 Project Name: Hamlet of Callicoon Water System Location: Town of Delaware, Sullivan County SEQRA Status: Type 1 Action

Project Description: The Town of Delaware is seeking to determine the public benefit to the residents of the Hamlet of Callicoon in establishing a special improvement water district. The existing public water supply is currently owned by the Callicoon Water Company. Establishing the special district will require that the Town assume ownership and control of the water system. The existing system is in disrepair and will require rehabilitation.

In addition to the creation of a special improvement water district, the project will include the razing of the existing well/treatment house for Well#1 and the construction of a new 600sf well/treatment house on the same site. The location of the well house is in a designated floodplain and construction of the new well house will be required to meet NYS building code requirements and acquire a permit from the local flood plain administrator. Additionally, a by- pass channel connecting the Callicoon Creek and the Delaware River, located adjacent to the well house and installed by Sullivan County following the 2006 floods, will be filled in to prevent ground water contamination of the water source. The project also includes the replacement of approximately 7,150 feet of water distribution lines, the installation of water meters at all properties served by the water system, and the rehabilitation of a 2nd well house located on Railroad Avenue. No structural changes will be made to well house #2.

The Town has been notified by the New York State Department of Health that is eligible for funding through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to finance the engineering, legal, administration and construction of the improvements. The project will be classified as a Type 1 action.

Declaration of Intent to Serve as Lead Agency: Please take notice that, under the applicable standards of Title 6 Part 617.6 NYCRR, the Town of Delaware Town Board has concluded that this action requires a coordinated environmental review. The Town Board passed a resolution on January 10, 2018 stating their intent to serve as lead agency.

This Notice, accompanied by the Part 1 of the Full EAF and a copy of the project description and site map, is being sent to you and all other identified involved agencies with a request for consent, in writing, to the Town Board serving as Lead Agency. Should you not respond within thirty (30) calendar days from the date shown above, it will be interpreted as consent that the Town Board serve as Lead Agency.

Should you not agree with the Town Board’s designation as Lead Agency, please follow the procedures outlined in Title 6 Part 617.6(b) NYCRR. In addition to your consideration of Lead Agency designation, the Town Board welcomes any comments you may have regarding the Proposed Action. Receipt of these comments within thirty (30) calendar days would be appreciated.

Final determination of this action will be published in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Notice Bulletin.

Full EAF Part 2

Delaware Engineering, D.P.C. February 14, 2018 Agency Use Only [If applicable] Full Environmental Assessment Form Project : Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts Date : Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency=s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.

If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer “No” to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.” • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the Awhole action@. • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

Attn: William Brown

Dear Mr. Chiappisi:

This responds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) receipt of your letter dated January 12,2018, for the proposed Town of Delaware Water System in the Hamlet of Callicoon, Sullivan County, New York. Thank you for including the Service as an interested agency for the State Environmental Quality Review Act process.

We understand the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) may be involved with the project through permitting pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. As you may be aware, federal agencies, such as the Corps, have responsibilities under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) to consult with the Service regarding projects that may affect federally listed species or designated critical habitat, and confer with the Service regarding projects that are likely to jeopardize federally proposed species and/or adversely modify proposed critical habitat.

We reviewed the project sponsor's Environmental Assessment Form and offer the following comments. Section E.2.0 lists three species listed by the State of New York as potentially occurring within the area. One of these, the dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), is also federally listed as endangered. The Service recently coordinated with the Federal Highway Administration and New York State Department of Transportation regarding impacts to this species associated with the replacement of the Interstate Bridge #7 over the Delaware River in Callicoon. We will send you a copy of that document via electronic mail to assist with your determination of potential impacts to the dwarfwedgemussel from the proposed project. We recommend coordinating with our office to discuss options to minimize any potential impacts to the dwarf wedgemussel as early in the design phase as possible. The federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalisi should also be considered in this area. To address federally listed species, we recommend the project sponsor follow the steps on our website* to determine which federally listed species have the potential to be present and assess the site for each of those species. We look forward to hearing from the project sponsor. Any additional information regarding the proposed project and its potential to impact listed species should be coordinated with both this office and with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

In addition, the project sponsor has determined that the project may impact the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). As you may be aware, bald eagles have been delisted pursuant to the ESA, but remain protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (40 Stat. 755; 16 U.S.C. 703- 712), the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (54 Stat. 250, as amended; 16 U.S.c. 668 et seq.), and by the State of New York. If eagles are found within the project area, we recommend that the project sponsor follow the Bald Eagle Management Guidelines found on our website.

Thank you for coordinating with us. We appreciate the opportunity to review this project. If you require additional information please contact Robyn Niver at 607-753-9334. Future correspondence with us on this project should reference project file 18TA0806.

Sincerely,

David A. Stilwell Field Supervisor

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project

To Whom It May Concern:

The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). This list can also be used to determine whether listed species may be present for projects without federal agency involvement. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list.

Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC site at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. If listed, proposed, or candidate species were identified as potentially occurring in the project area, coordination with our office is encouraged. Information on the steps involved with assessing potential impacts from projects can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/northeast/nyfo/es/section7.htm

Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ 01/10/2018 Event Code: 05E1NY00-2018-E-02402 2 eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the Services wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.

Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the ESA. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Event Code: 05E1NY00-2018-E-02402

Project Name: Callicoon Water System

Project Type: WATER SUPPLY / DELIVERY

Project Description: The Town of Delaware in Sullivan County NY, is seeking to determine the public benefit to the residents of the Hamlet of Callicoon in establishing a special improvement water district. The existing public water supply is currently owned by the Callicoon Water Company. Establishing the special district will require that the Town assume ownership and control of the water system. The existing system is in disrepair and will require rehabilitation.

In addition to the creation of a special improvement water district, the project will include the razing of the existing well/treatment house for Well#1 and the construction of a new 600sf well/treatment house on the same site. The location of the well house is in a designated floodplain and construction of the new well house will be required to meet NYS building code requirements and acquire a permit from the local flood plain administrator. Additionally, a by-pass channel connecting the Callicoon Creek and the Delaware River, located adjacent to the well house and installed by Sullivan County following the 2006 floods, will be filled in to prevent ground water contamination of the water source. The project also includes the replacement of approximately 7,150 feet of water distribution lines, the installation of water meters at all properties served by the water system, and the rehabilitation of a 2nd well house located on Railroad Avenue. No structural changes will be made to well house #2.

Re: Town of Delaware Water System County: Sullivan Town/City: Delaware

Dear Mr. Chiappisi:

In response to your recent request, we have reviewed the New York Natural Heritage Program database with respect to the above project.

Enclosed is a report of rare or state-listed animals and plants, and significant natural communities that our database indicates occur in the vicinity of the project site.

For most sites, comprehensive field surveys have not been conducted; the enclosed report only includes records from our database. We cannot provide a definitive statement as to the presence or absence of all rare or state-listed species or significant natural communities. Depending on the nature of the project and the conditions at the project site, further information from on-site surveys or other sources may be required to fully assess impacts on biological resources.

Our database is continually growing as records are added and updated. If this proposed project is still under development one year from now, we recommend that you contact us again so that we may update this response with the most current information.

The presence of the plants and animals identified in the enclosed report may result in this project requiring additional review or permit conditions. For further guidance, and for information regarding other permits that may be required under state law for regulated areas or activities (e.g., regulated wetlands), please contact the NYS DEC Region 3 Office, Division of Environmental Permits, as listed at www.dec.ny.gov/about/39381.html.

• Notice of Hearing Requirements for the establishments of town Special Districts • FAQs on the Establishment of Town Special Districts

STATE OF NEW YORK THOMAS P. DiNAPOLI ANDREW A. SANFILIPPO OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER EXECUTIVE DEPUTY COMPTROLLER COMPTROLLER 110 STATE STREET OFFICE OF STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT ALBANY, NEW YORK 12236 ACCOUNTABILITY Tel: (518) 474-4593 Fax: (518) 402-4892

January 2018

Dear Local Government Official:

Please find attached a listing of the average estimated cost thresholds for your use in determining whether approval of the State Comptroller is necessary for certain special district actions in the year 2018.

Certain “low cost” special districts, i.e., those which are at or below average estimated cost thresholds contained in the enclosure, do NOT require approval of the State Comptroller. However, if debt is being issued, a certified copy of the notice of hearing for the “low cost” district must be sent to our office. This copy must be sent, on or about the date of publication, to the Office of the State Comptroller, Division of Legal Services, 110 State Street, 14th Floor, Albany, New York 12236. It should be sent no later than 14 calendar days after publication. This notice enables us to accurately calculate future average estimated cost thresholds.

In addition, certified copies of resolutions or orders which, among other things, finally establish or extend a district and, in the case of counties, authorize an increase and improvement of facilities, are required to be filed with this Office regardless of whether the Comptroller’s approval is required. Resolutions or orders that are subject to permissive referendum should not be filed until the period for filing a petition has passed or, if a petition is filed, a referendum has been held.

We would be happy to provide advisory services and assist you in identifying and resolving issues in connection with special district actions, even if the proceedings are not subject to our approval. You can obtain additional information and guidelines on submitting applications by contacting our Office. The Comptroller’s regulations (Part 85) outline the steps related to applications seeking permission of the Comptroller to establish or extend special districts.

If you have questions or need more information, please contact Sean McDermott in our Division of Legal Services at (518) 474-3517 or Amy McCabe in our Division of Local Government and School Accountability at (518) 408-4603.

Sincerely,

Andrew A. SanFilippo Executive Deputy Comptroller Office of State and Local Government Accountability Enc. AVERAGE ESTIMATED COSTS FOR COUNTY AND TOWN SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS

(EFFECTIVE FOR PROCEEDINGS FOR WHICH A NOTICE OF HEARING IS PUBLISHED FROM JANUARY 1, 2018 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2018)

The Comptroller’s approval is required if debt is proposed to be issued by a town or county and the “cost of the district or extension” to the “typical property” or, if different, the “typical one or two family home” as stated in the notice of hearing, is above the average estimated cost thresholds listed below.1

“Costs” include amounts required to be paid for debt service, operation and maintenance and other charges, including user fees, related to the improvement in the first year following formation of the district or extension, or the increase and improvement of facilities in counties (or, if greater, the first year in which both principal and interest and operation and maintenance will be paid). To ensure accurate calculations of estimated costs, towns and counties should not assume the receipt of federal or state aid in the absence of firm commitments from the appropriate agency. In addition, estimated borrowing costs should be based on the proposed maturity of the obligations and interest rate assumptions derived from market surveys or a letter of commitment. Charges imposed by other governmental entities, such as public authorities or other municipalities, should also be included in the computation. Costs, for this purpose, do not include hook-up fees.

A summary of the notice of hearing requirements for the establishment and extension of town special districts appears in Appendix A. Frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the establishment or extension of town special districts concerning required determinations and methods of assessment appear in Appendix B.

TOWN DISTRICTS

The following average estimated costs apply to town special district establishments, extensions or increases in the maximum amount to be expended.2

Sewer $ 995 Water $ 904

1 For those proceedings that are subject to a permissive referendum requirement, the Comptroller’s Office will accept the filing of an application prior to the expiration of the time for filing a petition requesting a referendum or, if a petition is filed, the vote on the proposition. However, no approval order will be granted until after the completion of all such requirements. 2 The Comptroller’s approval, if required in the case of an increase in the maximum amount to be expended, may be given only after a public hearing and, in the case of Article 12-A districts, permissive referendum requirements are met.

COUNTY DISTRICT INCREASES AND IMPROVEMENTS

The following average estimated cost applies to county special district increases and improvements of facilities. Please note that this figure represents only the increased cost to the typical property as a result of the increase and improvement.

Sewer $ 11 Water $ 3

OTHER DISTRICTS

For county water and sewer establishments, extensions or increases of maximum amount to be expended, and all other types of districts, there was insufficient data to calculate meaningful average estimated costs. Therefore, any type of district not listed above will be subject to applicable requirements for obtaining the Comptroller’s approval, irrespective of the cost to the typical property or home, if debt is proposed to be issued to finance the improvement.

Note that proceedings under Town Law § 202-b to, among other things, repair, improve or replace facilities within an existing town district do not require the Comptroller’s consent, except in certain cases within the Adirondack Park (see Town Law § 202-b[5] and Local Finance Law § 104.10[3]). APPENDIX A

Notice of Hearing Requirements for Establishment or Extension of Town Special Districts

Articles 12 (§ 190 et seq.) and 12-A (§ 209 et seq.) of Town Law set forth two methods for establishing or extending a town improvement district: (1) by the submission to the town board of a valid petition requesting the establishment or extension of the district (Article 12)3; and (2) by town board motion, subject to permissive referendum requirements (Article 12-A).4

Under both of these methods, the town board is required to adopt a resolution calling for a public hearing on the proposal to establish or extend the district. The following is a summary of the requirements for a notice of hearing. For more specific information on the requirements, please consult Town Law § 193 for Article 12 districts and Town Law § 209-d for Article 12-A districts:

 Posting and Publishing. The notice of public hearing must be posted on the town signboard and published in the town’s official newspaper not less than ten and not more than twenty days before the date designated for the public hearing. The notice may also be made available on the town’s website, if any.

 Time and Place for Hearing. The notice must specify the time when and place where the board will meet to hear all interested persons and, in the case of an Article 12 proceeding, consider the petition.

 Other Key Information. The notice must include: o a boundary description; o a description of the proposed improvements; o the maximum proposed to be expended for the improvement; o the estimated cost of hook-up fees, if any; and o the “cost of the district or extension” to the “typical property” and, if different, to the “typical one or two family home.”5

 Filing of Petition. In the case of an Article 12 proceeding, the notice must recite in general terms the filing of a petition.

 Proposed Method of Financing/Map, Plan and Report. In the case of an Article 12-A proceeding, the notice must state the proposed method of financing and the fact that a map, plan and report describing the improvements are on file in the town clerk’s office for public inspection.

3 The petition, among other requirements, must be signed by the proper number of owners of taxable real property in the proposed district or extension and, in the case of water, sewer, wastewater disposal and drainage districts, must be accompanied by an appropriate map, plan and report (see Town Law §§ 191, 191-a, 192). 4 The establishment or extension of an improvement district under Article 12-A is based on a map, plan and report (see Town Law §§ 209-b, 209-c; see also Town Law § 209-e[3] and Article 7 of the Town Law (§ 90 et seq.), relating to permissive referendum requirements). 5 The terms “typical property,” “typical one or two family home,” “cost of the district or extension to the typical property” and “cost of the district or extension to the typical one or two family home” are defined in Town Law §§ 193(2) and 209-a.

 Statement as to Benefit Assessments. In the case of an Article 12 proceeding for a water district and certain other types of districts, if it is intended to finance the proposed district on a benefit basis (rather than on an ad valorem basis), the petition must contain a statement to that effect. In the case of an Article 12-A proceeding for a water district, and certain other types of districts, if the town intends to finance the proposed district on a benefit basis (rather than on an ad valorem basis), the notice of hearing must contain a statement to that effect.

 Detailed Explanation of Costs. Prior to the publication of the notice, the board must cause to be prepared, and file for public inspection with the town clerk, a detailed explanation of how the estimated cost of hook-up fees, if any, and the cost to the “typical property” and, if different, the “typical one or two family home,” were computed.

FAQs ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXTENSION OF TOWN SPECIAL DISTRICTS CONCERNING REQUIRED DETERMINATIONS AND METHODS OF ASSESSMENT

Q1. After the town board holds a public hearing upon proper notice6 and considers the evidence presented at the hearing concerning the proposed district establishment or extension, what generally is the next step if the town board wishes to establish the district or extension?

A. The board would adopt a resolution making four determinations. The specific determinations vary depending on whether the district or extension is being established upon petition of property owners (Town Law Article 12) or board motion subject to permissive referendum requirements (Town Law Article 12-A; see also Town Law Article 7).

In the case of a district or extension on petition of property owners (Town Law Article 12), the resolution must contain determinations of the town board that (1) the petition of the property owners is signed, and acknowledged or proved, or authenticated, as required by law and is otherwise sufficient (Town Law § 194[1][a]), and [2] it is in the “public interest” to grant the relief sought in the petition (Town Law § 194[1][d]). In the case of a district or extension on board motion (Town Law Article 12-A), the resolution must contain determinations of the town board that (1) the notice of hearing was published and posted as required by law and is otherwise sufficient (Town Law § 209-e[1][a]) and [2] the establishment or extension of the proposed district is in the “public interest” (Town Law § 209-e[1][d]).

In addition, the town board must also make the following determinations under both Article 12 and 12-A proceedings:

 That all property and property owners within the proposed district or extension are benefited by the district or extension; and

 That all the property and property owners that are benefited by the proposed district or extension are included within the limits of the district or extension.

6 Pursuant to Town Law (§§ 193, 209-d), notice of the public hearing must be provided by posting on the signboard of the town and by publishing in the town’s official newspaper (see Matter of Carriero v Town Bd. of Town of Stillwater, 41 AD3d 1011, 838 NYS2d 243 lv dismissed and denied 9 NY3d 980, 848 NYS2d 16, lv dismissed 12 NY3d 838, 881 NYS2d 11 mod and lv dismissed 72 AD3d 1479, 899 NYS2d 452; compare Garden Homes Woodlands Co. v Town of Dover, 95 NY2d 516, 720 NYS2d 79. Additional forms of notice may also be provided, such as posting on the town’s website (see Town Law § 193[1][a]). Q2. May the expenses for any district or extension be raised on either a benefit or ad valorem basis?

A. Town Law § 202 contains provisions relative to assessments for the capital costs of town districts. Assessments for sewer, sewage disposal, wastewater disposal, drainage and water quality treatment districts always must be “in just proportion to the amount of benefit which the improvement shall confer upon” the lot or parcel (i.e., a benefit basis; Town Law § 202[2]; see also Real Property Tax Law § 102[15]). In the case of park, snow removal, water supply, water storage and distribution, ambulance, harbor improvement and public dock districts, assessments always must be “in the same manner and at the same time as other town charges” (i.e., an ad valorem basis; Town Law § 202[3]; see also Real Property Law § 102[14]).

Water, lighting, public parking, sidewalk, refuse and garbage, aquatic plant growth, watershed protection improvement and beach erosion control districts may be assessed either on a benefit basis or an ad valorem basis, depending upon the property owners’ petition (in the case of an Article 12 district or extension), or the notice of hearing (in the case of an Article 12-A district or extension) (Town Law § 202[3]). For these types of districts, if the petition or the notice of hearing, as the case may be, provides that the costs of the improvement will be assessed on a benefit basis, then the district will be on a benefit basis; otherwise, the district will be assessed on an ad valorem basis.

With limited exceptions, once a determination has been made to finance a district on an ad valorem or benefit basis, the manner of assessment for the district may not be changed (Town Law § 202[4]; 1986 Ops St Comp No. 86-88, at 135). Any extensions to a district must be charged on the same basis (benefit or ad valorem) as the original district (Town Law § 202[5]). The expenses of operation and maintenance of a district, if raised by assessments, also must be raised on the same basis as the capital costs of the improvement (Town Law § 202-a).

Q3. When is the consent of the State Comptroller required for the establishment or extension of an improvement district within a town?

A. The Comptroller’s approval is required for the establishment or extension of a town district if two factors are present: (1) debt is to be issued or assumed (see Town Law § 198[12]) by the town for the improvement, and (2) the “cost of the district or extension” to the “typical property” or, if different, the “typical one or two family home” as stated in the notice of hearing on the establishment or extension, is above the average annual estimated cost threshold for similar types of districts as may be computed by the State Comptroller (Town Law §§ 194[6], 209[f]).

Q4. What constitutes the “typical property” for this purpose?

A. The term “typical property” is defined by statute (Town Law §§ 193[2][a], 209-a[2]). “Typical property” means a benefited property within the proposed district or extension having an assessed value that approximates the assessed value of the “mode” (i.e., the most frequently occurring assessed value as shown on the latest completed assessment roll) of the benefited properties within the district or extension that will be required to finance the cost of the proposed improvement. In other words, to determine the “typical property,” the town generally would review the assessment roll for parcels within the proposed district or extension and determine the most commonly occurring assessed value within the proposed district or extension.

Q5. What is meant by the “cost to the typical property?”

A. This term is defined in Town Law as the estimated amount that the owner of a typical property within the district or extension will be required to pay for debt service, operation and maintenance and other charges related to the improvements in the first year following formation of the district or extension (or, if greater, the first year in which both principal and interest, and operation and maintenance will be paid) (Town Law §§ 193[2][c], 209-a[4]). This includes benefit assessments and ad valorem levies, as well as user fees.

To ensure accurate calculations of estimated costs, towns should not assume the receipt of federal or state aid in the absence of firm commitments from the appropriate agency. In addition, estimated borrowing costs should be based on the proposed maturity of the obligations and interest rate assumptions derived from market surveys or a letter of commitment. The town may have a financial advisor who can assist in estimating borrowing costs. Charges imposed by other governmental entities, such as charges or fees imposed by public authorities or other municipalities, should also be included in the computation. In addition, if a proposed district will be sharing infrastructure costs with another town district or town improvement (see Town Law article 12-C; Town Law § 208; General Municipal Law § 119-o), the proportionate costs attributable to the proposed district should be included in the estimated annual cost to the typical property.

Q6. What if the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) has not established a threshold for a particular type of district?

A. OSC only establishes a threshold when we have sufficient data to make the necessary calculation for that type of district or extension. If no threshold for a particular type of district or extension has been established by this Office and debt will be issued by the town for the improvement, then OSC consent is necessary, irrespective of the cost to the typical property, and an application for the Comptroller’s approval would be required (see 2 NYCRR Part 85).

Q7. Are hook-up fees for a town water or sewer district included in the estimate for the “cost to the typical property?”

A. No. “Cost” for this purpose does not include hook-up fees, which are not recurring charges imposed to fund the district or extension.

In general, hook-up charges are the responsibility of the owner of each property connecting to the system. A town may use its employees to connect a property to the water or sewer system and charge the property owner for the cost of these services (Town Law §§ 198[1][h],198[3][a]). The service line for both water and sewer from the curb to the house is generally installed by a private contractor at the owner’s expense.

Note that the notice of hearing published by the town in advance of establishing or extending the district must separately list the estimated costs of any hook-up fees, in addition to, among other things, the cost of the district or extension to the typical property (Town Law § 193[1][a], 209- d[1]).

Q8. Can hook-up fees be used to generate revenue for town district improvements or operations?

A. No. Towns are authorized to impose one time hook-up fees in certain circumstances for connections to town water or sewer districts (Town Law §§ 198[1][h]; 198[3][a]). These one- time fees, however, are limited to costs incurred by the town with respect to the connections of users to the water or sewer system and may not be used to otherwise defray costs of capital improvements or operations of the district (Video Aid v Town of Wallkill, 203 AD2d 554, 610 NYS2d 610, revd on other grounds 85 NY2d 663, 628 NYS2d 18; see also Coconato v Town of Esopus, 152 AD2d 39, 547 NYS2d 953, lv denied 76 NY2d 701, 558 NYS2d 891; Mark IV Construction v County of Monroe, 187 AD2d 985, 590 NYS2d 335; Phillips v Town of Clifton Park Water Authority, 286 AD2d 834, 730 NYS2d 565, lv denied 97 NY2d 613, 742 NYS2d 606; Matter of Torsoe Brothers v Village of Monroe, 49 AD2d 461, 375 NYS2d 612).

Q9. How does a town finance operating costs of a newly-formed district before assessments are levied and collected on behalf of the district?

A. Local Finance Law § 24.00 generally provides that in the case of a newly established improvement district, a town may issue tax anticipation notes for the “necessary expenses incidental to the creation of such district” and “the other necessary expenses incurred or to be incurred for” the district prior to the first levy of assessments (Local Finance Law § 24.00[d][2]). An appropriation to redeem the notes must be included in the first levy of assessments for the district (Local Finance Law § 24.00[d][3]). The notes must mature within one year from the date of their issuance, and while the notes may be renewed, each renewal shall be for a period not exceeding one year, and the notes must be repaid within the close of the second fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year in which the notes were issued (Local Finance Law § 24.00[d][3]). Note that when the only indebtedness proposed in connection with the establishment of a town district is tax anticipation notes, the Comptroller’s approval is not required (3 Ops State Comp No. 1990, at 125 [1947]).

In addition, for several types of districts (e.g. water, sewer, refuse and garbage), towns are authorized to impose fees upon users of the service in accordance with proper procedures (see, e.g. General Municipal Law Article 14-F; Town Law §§198[3][d], [9][b]). Revenues generated by user fees may fund operating costs of a newly-formed district before assessments are levied and collected.

Q10. May a town supersede the provisions of Articles 12 and 12-A of Town Law by adopting an inconsistent local law?

A. No. Articles 12 and 12-A of Town Law establish a comprehensive legislative scheme evincing an intent to pre-empt local laws relating to the establishment, financing and operation of town improvement districts (see Coconato v Town of Esopus, 152 AD2d 39, 547 NYS2d 953, lv denied 76 NY2d 701, 558 NYS2d 891; 2008 Ops St Comp No. 2008-4; 2001 Ops St Comp No. 2001-7, at 11; 2000 Ops St Comp No. 2000-17, at 44; 1992 Ops St Comp No. 92-33, at 84). In addition, although Municipal Home Rule Law authorizes towns to adopt local laws that supersede, in certain respects, provisions of Town Law (Municipal Home Rule Law § 10[1][ii][d]), there is an express restriction on this home rule authority with respect to provisions relating to a “special or improvement district” (Municipal Home Rule Law § 10[1][ii][d][3]).

Q11. A town has established a district and constructed improvements in accordance with the district map, plan and report. The town later needs to make additional improvements or repairs. Does the town need the Comptroller’s approval before undertaking the additional improvements or repairs?

A. Generally no, even where debt will be issued (Town Law § 202-b[3]). Town Law § 202-b provides for increases and improvements of district facilities, upon notice and after a public hearing. A town board on behalf of water, water storage and distribution, ambulance, sewer, sewage disposal or drainage districts may (1) acquire or construct additional facilities and appurtenances, (2) improve or reconstruct existing facilities and appurtenances, (3) replace obsolete, inadequate, damaged, destroyed or worn out apparatus and equipment, and (4) acquire additional apparatus and equipment without seeking Comptroller approval (Town Law § 202- b[1] and [3]). In addition, a town board, on behalf of a park, public parking, ambulance, lighting, snow removal, refuse and garbage, public dock, watershed protection improvement or beach erosion control district may (1) acquire additional apparatus and equipment, (2) replace obsolete, inadequate, damaged, destroyed or worn-out apparatus and equipment, (3) construct additional facilities and appurtenances, and (4) reconstruct or replace obsolete, inadequate, damaged, destroyed or worn out facilities and appurtenances (Town Law § 202-b[2]).

Except in the case of certain towns within the Adirondack Park, the Comptroller’s approval is not required for these expenditures. A town must obtain the consent of the State Comptroller for repairs or improvements to an existing district when the district is located within a town in the Adirondack Park and the district contains State lands assessed at more than 30% of the total assessed valuation of the district as determined from the assessment rolls of the town (Town Law § 202-b[5]).

Q12. What kinds of resolutions relating to town districts must be filed with the State Comptroller in connection with special districts?

A. A certified copy of any resolution to establish, extend, dissolve or diminish any district or consolidate districts, adopted pursuant to articles 12 or 12-A of the Town Law or article 17-A of the General Municipal Law, is required to be filed with the State Comptroller within ten days after adoption (Town Law §§ 195[1], 209-g[1]). In addition, a certified copy of the notice of hearing on the establishment or extension of a district, when debt will be issued but the district or extension is below the cost threshold that would require the Comptroller’s approval, must be filed with the Comptroller on or about the date of publication of the notice (Town Law §§ 193[1][b], 209-d[2][a]). Filings should be addressed to the Division of Legal Services, 14th Floor, 110 State Street, Albany, NY 12236.

The Honorable Edward Sykes Supervisor, Town of Delaware 104 Main Street Hortonville, NY 12754

Re: Drinking Water State Revolving Fund DWSRF Project No. 17560 Callicoon Water System Town of Delaware, Sullivan County

Dear Supervisor Sykes:

The NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) and the NYS Department of Health (DOH) have completed the evaluation of hardship funding for the project referenced above. I am pleased to inform you that as of a result of that evaluation, the Town is eligible for a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) grant of $2,456,940 and an interest-free financing of $1,637,960 for a term of up to 30 years for the project.

This hardship determination was based on the criteria as explained in Federal Fiscal Year 2018 DWSRF Final Intended Use Plan (IUP) which is available at www.efc.ny.gov/dwiup.

Please note the following with regard to this hardship eligibility determination:

• The Town's hardship eligibility remains in effect through September 30, 2019, by which time a Project Finance Agreement (PFA) for DWSRF financing must be executed with the New York State EFC. • If you have not already done so, you must submit a complete DWSRF financing application by no later than March 1, 2019. The DWSRF finance application forms and guidance can be found at www.efe.ny.gov. • If your project includes the refinancing of non-DWSRF debt, DWSRF requirements must have been adhered to if the project is completed or the project documents may need to be amended if construction has not already been completed. Those requirements may include but not be limited to: o Davis Bacon Federal Prevailing Wage schedules and language in the construction contract bid documents; o American Iron and Steel provisions; o Minority Women Business Enterprises /Equal Employment Opportunities/ Disadvantaged Business Enterprises for both construction contracts and professional service agreements as applicable. Additional information related to DWSRF requirements is available at www.efe.ny.gov.

625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12207-2997 I 518.402.6924 I www.efe.ny.gov This DWSRF hardship eligibility letter is not a formal commitment by EFC and DOH to provide financial assistance. Such a commitment will be reflected in the PFA once executed by EFC and the Town.

EFC and DOH may deny or otherwise adjust the financial assistance for your project if the project scope changes or based upon our review of the complete DWSRF financing application. ln addition, financial assistance for your project may only be provided after receiving formal approvals from the EFC Board of Directors and the New York State Public Authorities Control Board.

Our team along with staff at DOH will continue to assist you and your representatives through the financing process. Should you have any questions, please contact Michael Montysko, P.E. of DOH at 518-402-7650 or [email protected].

Thank you again for your interest in the DWSRF program. We look forward to working with you on this important public health infrastructure project to ensure that your community has a safe, affordable, and sustainable drinking water system for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Sabrina M. Ty President and CEO cc: NYSDOH- Lloyd Wilson I Michael Montysko Delaware Engineers -William Brown (email)

APPENDIX K

Additional Information on EDU Calculations

Once the Town forms the new water district, all properties located in the district will be responsible for payment on the debt associated with the system upgrade. This includes vacant parcels as well as improved parcels. However, only those parcels that are served by the water system will be responsible for the annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The Town will use the Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) count established for the sewer district to determine user fees for the water system until such time as all users are metered and a rate structure is established. Appendix C contains the list of parcels that will be in the new water district. This table also provides the number of EDUs for each parcel.

For the purposes of establishing sewer rents, the Sewer Rent Law of the Town of Delaware, New York (Chapter 173) establishes the number of units “for each lot, parcel of land, building or other premises” situated in the Sewer District. Similar to the EDU count, the established number of units is based upon property classification and user impact on the sewer system. Sewer rents are determined for both Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and capital costs associated with improvements to the sewer plant. All properties that lie within the Town sewer district pay the costs associated with any capital improvements, this includes owners of vacant land, as well as improved properties. Only actual system users are responsible for both O&M costs and the costs associated with capital improvements. Unlike the water rents which are currently billed by the Callicoon Water Company on a quarterly basis, sewer rents are billed and collected annually. For O&M, the cost/unit is based upon the annual estimated budget for the sewer plant’s O&M costs for the year in which the sewer rents are collected.

For the purposes of calculating sewer rents, the Town has determined that there are 253 total units responsible for capital costs, and 238 total units responsible for O&M. However, the system’s largest user, the Delaware Valley Job Corps Academy (DVJCA), has negotiated a separate contract under which their sewer rents are paid. As such, the total units given above does not include the DVJCA. If the sewer rents for the DVJCA were to be determined based upon actual usage, it would be assigned approximately 108 units. DVJCA would be responsible for both the capital improvement costs and O&M costs. When these units are included in the total units for the sewer district, the total units responsible for O&M would increase to 346, and the total units responsible for capital improvement costs would increase to 361. These numbers closely align with the estimated number of EDU’s provided in the Map, Plan and Report - Section 8 Detailed Explanation of Costs. It is anticipated that number of EDUs used for determining sewer rents will be used for the calculation of water rents, until such time as all water meters are installed are a rate structure based on usage is adopted by the Town Board.

Chapter 173 - Article I (Sections 173-1 through Section 173-6) of the Sewer Rent Law of the Town of Delaware, New York is provided below:

Article I: Sewer Rents and Charges [Adopted 5-28-1997 by L.L. No. 2-1997] § 173-1Repeal of existing sewer use charge systems. The sewer use charge systems in effect at the time of the adoption of this article are hereby repealed and shall be replaced by the system of charges provided for herein.
