L INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The proposed project involves the subdivision of 9.7 acres of vacant farm land into single family
residential building lots. Ten single family parcels are proposed ranging in size for 27,000 sf to over
40,000 sf acres each. The project also includes over .8 acres of conservation reserve, meaning no
buldings or development. The project will be developed in just a single phase, which includes the
construction of a new Township roadway into the development,and extension of water mains from the
existing main on North Triphammer Road. This water main extension will expand the present Water
District of the Town of Lansing. All roads and utilities will become the property of the Town of
Lansing. This report will serve as the engineering project description for the proposed water, septic
and stormwater management design for development as shown on the plans.
The basic development data is as follows:
Owner: Scotty&Wayne Britton
18 Murfield Drive
Ithaca,NY 14850
Total Acreage: 9.7 Ac
Lot size:
Max: 40,268 sf
Min: 25,015 sf

Front: 60 ft. to Center of Road - provided
Rear: 25 ft. -provided
Open Space: 75% -provided
Density 40,000 sf/dwelling -provided

II. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The subdivision is designed as a cluster/conservation subdivision,in which the individual lot sizes and
frontages vary from the standard lot requirements,but the overall base density(40,000 sf/dwelling) is
kept. The layout is deigned to be separated from the main traffic thoroughfares. No lots will have
driveway access to any existing road. All will be off an internal dead-end roads built by the developer,
so that the atmosphere of a closed neighborhood community is created.
III. ROAD DESIGN AND DRAINAGE
The development requires the construction of 1,000' +/- of new town road. All grading and roadway
sections were designed to Town specifications. As shown on the drawings and listed in the appendices,
the maximum grade found is 1.89%. Drawings show profiles and typical cross sections. Construction
of the development will call for complete construction of the new Town Road, with a possible future
extension to the north. The proposed road construction will be a dead end until such time as the
adjacent properties to the north are developed.
All roads will be constructed to Town specifications as to geometry and materials. Rip-rap protection
of ditches is provided on slopes over 5%. Roads are designed for a speed for 30 mph with stopping site
distances of 200 ft. per AASHTO.
Drainage for the site is handled by drainage ditches along the edge of the proposed roads, back yard
swales, retention basins, and several new culverts. This system will feed into the existing drainage
patterns along the southwest corner of the site. Two new retention basins will be constructed just
upstream of this area,which will hold post-development runoff to pre-development levels. A complete
Stormwater Management Report and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been prepared for
this project,and are included by reference in Appendix B.(See separate bound document and drawings.)
IV. WATER SUPPLY
The proposed project is supplied water from the Southern Cayuga Intermunicipal Water Supply system
and Town of Lansing Water District. A new 8" ductile iron water main will tie into an existing 10"
main located opposite the new road intersection with Triphammer Road. A road bore(or directional
drilling) will be used to extend the main connection under Triphammer Road, where a "live tap" or
insertion"T"will be made for the connection. The new main diameter will insure that development
will have adequate domestic and fire flows volumes and pressures,and will also for future neighboring
areas should additional extensions be made.(In checking with Bolton Point representatives,the workng
pressure of the man is approximatly 110 psi.) Fire hydrants with shut off valves are located throughout
as shown on the plans. Valves are proposed dead ends will be left for future connections to adjacent
properties should such become necessary.
With only 40'of elevation rise from the existing water main to the highest point in the project,and with
using an 8" diameter pipe,static and friction losses in the new service area will not be significant (less
than 20 psi,even with a 500 gpm fire demand.In short,there should be no apparent problem with water
main pressures or flows in the new development. The proposed district expansion and new
construction will be at no cost to the Town of Lansing, as all costs will be paid by the developer. As
such, it is a"No Cost" district extension for the Town.
3
V. SANITARY WASTE DISPOSAL DESIGN
The lots will be served by individual septic system of sand filters with raised downstream mounds/fills.
Soil Percolation test holes have been taken on each lot in the development near the intended location
of the systems. Some deep holes were also taken on previous occasions,A minimum of 12"of percable
soil was found at each site. Soil conditions vary somewhat with both Illion and Ovid silt loams being
encountered. Deep hole tests indicated that all lots are shown to be able to accommodate a sand
filter/downstream mound type of system, because of the impermeable soils found below the 12"depth.
All plans are for 3 and 4 bedroom homes using standard water-saver fixtures (110 GPD/BR).
Specifications for sand filters and fill materials follow Tompkins County Health Department
Guidelines. For system details and plans, see Drawing ST-54 on the accompanying drawing set.
VI. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT & EROSION CONTROL
In order to comply with NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and EPA Phase H Storm
Water Discharge regulations as defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x), a complete Stormwater
Management Plan and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), including the required Notice
of Intent(NOI), have been prepared and are referenced in Appendix F. The NOI will be filed under
the NYSDEC General Permit for Storm Water Discharges for Construction Activities (GP-0-20-001)
prior to the start of any construction work as required. An erosion Control Plan is included in the
SWPPP document and in the project drawings. All erosion control work will be carried out in
conformance with the current NYSDEC Erosion Control Guidelines and the accompanying plans. It
is planned to form a separate StormWater drainage Maintenance District to maintain and operate the
onsite facilities once constructed.

WATER SERVICE CONNECTIONS AND WATER SERVICE LINES
INSTALLATION
The service line must be laid with bedding and backfill materials no greater than 2
inches in diameter for 6 inches in all directions from the tubing. All points of the service
line must be no less than 54 inches below existing grade at the time of inspection. This
means the initial trench may have to be deeper to accommodate the minimum of 6
inches of bedding. Trench depth may also need to be increased when there is a vertical
separation requirement between water and sewer lines.
The water service line must be a minimum of 5 feet horizontally apart from any sewer
line, and a minimum of 3 feet from any other parallel utility.
When crossing any metal piping closer than 3 feet, the water line must be covered with
a protective sleeve or sheet.
The curb stop and box must be placed as close to the front property line as practical
and out of the driveway and ditch line. The water service should take the shortest
possible route.
Where copper tubing passes through concrete or masonry structures, it must be
covered with a protective sleeve. The sleeve should extend a minimum of 12 inches
into surrounding soil. The sleeve diameter must be at least two standard pipe sizes
larger than the copper tubing.
An acceptable and accessible meter setting must be provided. The first inside valve
shall be a meter stop immediately before the meter. Another valve must be provided
immediately after the meter or pressure regulator. A household pressure regulator is
required. The meter must be approachable by a standing person. Meters shall not be
concealed behind wall panels, etc. unless accessible through a hinged, sliding, or easily
removable panel. NOTE: Under stair locations are usually not acceptable. Stairs or
ladders used to access the meter must be sturdy and safe. Meters must be installed
horizontally 2 to 4 feet above the floor. All pit installations shall be free of standing
water, accessible from ground level by Commission personnel, frost-proof, and vandal-
proof. (See SCLIWC RESIDENTIAL WATER METER PIT GUIDELINES AND
REQUIREMENTS, pages 8-10.)
In most cases, type K copper tubing and bronze fittings are required on outside water
services. In some instances, non-standard materials, such as polyethylene (PE), may
be permitted. These non-standard materials will always be downstream of a meter.
5
SCLIWC Field Work Guide March 25, 2005
WATER SERVICE CONNECTIONS AND WATER SERVICE LINES (continued)
SCLIWC advises strongly against the use of PE or other non-standard materials and
fittings in the water service line because of failures observed in the past. If the owner
decides to use PE or other non-standard materials or fittings, extra care must be taken
in bedding, compacting, and backfilling to achieve good performance. Non-metallic
lines should be provided with tracer wires for locating purposes. All underground fittings
must be bronze compression unless otherwise approved.
MATERIALS
1) Piping: Must be soft temper, type "K" copper of a size to be determined by
Bolton Point for each installation. In the Town of Ithaca, minimum size is 1 inch.
A minimum size of 3/4-inch applies in other municipalities, but the Commission
recommends a minimum of 1 inch.
2) Fittings: Compression or iron pipe thread joints are to be installed before the
meter and in any underground locations. "Stop and waste" curb valves are
prohibited. No solder joints are permitted ahead of the meter or in any part of
the service line or service connection.
3) Curb Box: Must be "Buffalo" style, cast iron, 2 '/2 inch, size 94-F. It must be
equipped with a rod and centering ring for the rod. The rod must be attached to
the curb valve with a brass or copper pin only. The top and bottom sections and
any extensions must engage each other by a minimum of 2 full threads when top
is at grade (see illustration below).

SCLIWC Field Work Guide March 25, 2005
SCLIWC RESIDENTIAL WATER METER PIT GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS
Residential meters should be installed within the building whenever possible. Interior
locations usually provide better accessibility, security, and protection against freezing
and flooding than do exterior locations. Occasionally, a property owner may want to
install the meter in a meter pit outside of the building. The Commission will consider
such requests on a case-by-case basis. Common reasons for installing the meter in a
an outside pit include lack of a suitable space within the building, desire to use a non-
standard piping material between the meter and the building, and the need to meter
water serving multiple buildings on one property.
If a property owner installs a meter pit, it is the owner's responsibility to assure that all
requirements of such installations are met and that the installation will provide adequate
accessibility, security, and protection against freezing and flooding for the meter. The
Commission generally performs one or two inspections during this phase of construction
of water service lines. The Commission's inspection is not continuous, so it cannot
guarantee that the installation will provide trouble-free service. The Commission's
primary inspection objective is to assure that the installation will not impose a
deleterious effect on the municipal water distribution system. The property owner has
primary responsibility for ensuring that the construction or installation of a meter pit
provides adequate accessibility, security, and protection from the elements. The
Commission will require the property owner (or installer) to correct any deficiencies
noted during inspections. The owner can and should point out any suspected
deficiencies to the installer and ask that they correct them. In all cases, the property
owner owns the meter pit and bears responsibility for required pit maintenance and
repairs. The owner pays for meter repair or replacement due to an inadequate pit
environment. The owner is responsible for all water registered on the meter, including
consumption caused by leakage between the meter and the building.
Factors that must be considered during meter pit construction or installation include:
ACCESSIBILITY
The pit must be easily approachable without the need to stoop, crawl, or climb
over obstacles. Plants or other landscaping features must not diminish pit
accessibility. The pit opening must be large enough to allow easy removal and
maintenance of the meter and associated equipment. The meter must be
serviceable and removable without the need to enter the pit. The Commission will
provide a remote reader on a steel post as part of the water connection permit
cost. The property owner is responsible for providing quarterly meter readings to
the Commission for billing purposes. The owner can use the remote reader for
most of these readings; however, the owner should compare the readings of the
meter and the remote reader at least once per year and notify the Commission of
8
SCLIWC Field Work Guide March 25, 2005
SCLIWC RESIDENTIAL WATER METER PIT GUIDELINES AND
REQUIREMENTS (continued)
any discrepancy. In cases when the readings on the meter and the remote reader
differ, the meter reading is used. Longstanding discrepancies between the
reading on the meter and the remote reader can lead to large water bills when the
meter is finally read.
SECURITY
The meter pit must have an access port that is removable using pentagonal keys or
other specialized tools that are not in the possession of the general public.
FREEZE PROTECTION
The meter pit must be installed in a location where water in the meter and piping will not
freeze. Insulation may be used. Insulating materials must be effective even when they
are wet or damp. Insulation must be readily removable and re-installable without losing
insulating ability or damaging the meter. The pit must be installed at a depth where its
lid is flush with grade, and where the pit bottom is a minimum of five feet below grade.
FLOOD PROTECTION
The meter pit must provide an environment where water will not collect. Even standing
water that does not cover the meter may produce a damp environment that causes
failure of the meter and/or the remote reader. This requirement may be met by using a
waterproof enclosure or by installing a gravity drain from an enclosure that is not
waterproof. Earth should be graded downward away from the pit lid in all directions
such that rain and runoff water will not collect around or course over the pit lid.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Meter pits may not be installed in roadways, road shoulders, or driveways. Pits must be
capable of supporting the weight of pedestrians and lawn care equipment.
Pit lids should be made of iron to facilitate finding them with a metal detector if they are
accidentally buried.
If non-metallic water lines are used downstream of the meter pit, a jacketed cable or
wire should be laid with the water line so that water lines can later be found using
electronic locating equipment.

SCLIWC RESIDENTIAL WATER METER PIT GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS
(continued)
As a service to the customer, the Commission makes available commercially
manufactured meter pits that help assure the foregoing guidelines and requirements are
met. When such pits are used, proper installation techniques are still essential to
assure that the pit's capability of meeting these requirements is not compromised.
Although these pits are available at the Commission's office, they are sold by the
manufacturers' distributors. The Commission assumes no liability for defective pits.
Customers are not required to use these pits and may purchase or construct any pit that
meets the foregoing criteria.
Please call the Commission at 277-0660 with any questions concerning meter pits.

As-Built Drawing Requirements for Public Water Mains in the Bolton
Point/Municiyal Water System
In accordance with local law, new public water mains shall not be put into service
until Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal water Commission(SCLIWC)
accepts as-built drawings for such mains. This document describes the minimum
requirements for as-built drawings. Information to be included in as-builts, for
example, GPS coordinates and offsets, must be collected as the project progresses
rather than after the components have been backfilled.
The Commission and municipality reserve the right to require the contractor to
expose selected water main components after backfill and before acceptance,
using only the as-built drawings, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the as-builts.
The Commission will require as-built drawings to be submitted in printed and
electronic format.
Printed As-Built Drawings
• As-builts must be certified"as-built' or"as-constructed"by the engineer
of record.
• North arrow
• Scale
• Dates of installation
• All lot lines
• Addresses or lot numbers
• Street names
• Right of ways and easements
• Crossings of other underground utilities
• Depth of cover
• Pipe information, including material, class, diameter, and joint type
• Valves—type, manufacturer, and date of manufacture
• Hydrants—type,manufacturer, date of manufacture
• Measurements—all valves; all fittings, including service taps and curb
valves, caps,plugs,blowoffs, and vaults must be measured 90 degrees
from the road centerline and along the main from the nearest hydrant.
Measurements must be reproducible in the field.
Electronic As-Built Drawings
• DWG file format
• Use New York State Plane Coordinate System(New York Central)

HYDROSTATIC & BACTERIOLOGICAL TESTING OF WATER MAINS
HYDROSTATIC & BACTERIOLOGICAL TESTING OF WATER MAINS
1. HYDROSTATIC TESTING
1. Piping Tests: Conduct piping tests after thrust blocks have hardened sufficiently.
Fill pipeline 24 hours prior to testing and apply test pressure to stabilize system.
Use only potable water.
2. Conduct hydrostatic testing at isolated sections of main a maximum of 2500
lineal feet. Use gate valves to isolate testing sections.
3. Hydrostatic Tests: Follow procedures as depicted in revised AWWA Standard
C600-93 Section 4, except that test pressure shall be at 150 psig.
1. The hydrostatic test shall be for at least a 2 hour duration. Maximum
allowable leakage shall be determined by the following formula:
L= SDPo.s
133,200
Where:
L = allowable leakage, in gallons per hour
S = length of pipe tested, in feet
D = nominal diameter of pipe, in inches
P = average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per
square inch (gauge)
2. If any test reveals leakage greater than allowable, repairs and/or
replacements shall be accomplished with new materials and methods (as
approved by the Engineer prior to repair being done), test shall be repeated
until leakage is within above limits.
3. If leakage is found at pipe to pipe joints, one repair utilizing a bell clamp
will be permitted. If additional joints leak, then faulty pipe must be fully
re-installed and no "after the fact"repairs will be permitted.
2. DISINFECTION AND FLUSHING
1. Clean and disinfect water distribution piping as follows:
1. Purge new water distribution piping systems and parts of existing systems
that have been altered, extended, or repaired prior to use.
2. Use purging and disinfecting procedure described in AWWA C651-92,
using continuous feed method for chlorination and the following.
(a) Comply with NFPA 24 for flushing of piping. Flush piping
system with clean, potable water until dirty water does not
appear at points of outlet.
(b) Fill system or part of system with water/chlorine solution
containing at least 25 ppm of free chlorine. Isolate (valve
off) system or part thereof and allow to stand for 24 hours.
Maintain a minimum of 10 ppm of free chlorine residual
after the 24 hour period. Repeat procedure if residual is
less than 10 ppm of free chlorine.
(c) Following allowed standing time with maintained residual,
flush system with clean, potable water until chlorine does
not remain in water coming from system.
(d) Collect a set of water samples for bacterial testing at the
following locations: Pheasant Way terminus and "C"road
intersection.
(e) Submit water samples in sterile bottles to NYS
certified water testing laboratory. The Contractor shall
employ certified laboratory to conduct bacterial testing.
Repeat procedure if biological examination made by
laboratory shows evidence of contamination.
2. Prepare reports for purging and disinfecting activities. Submit all reports and
water sample analysis to the Engineer, Town of Cortlandville, Cortland County
Health Department, and the Owners representative for approval that main meets
use for potable water.
