Task force flags differing capacity estimates and impending DEC rules as planning constraints
Summary
The TG Miller county study indicates substantial housing capacity in some Dryden villages, but local engineers offered much lower wastewater estimates; participants also raised upcoming DEC nitrate and treatment requirements that could affect long-term infrastructure choices.
Task force members reviewed TG Miller excerpts that suggested the Village of Dryden could add roughly 400 housing units on water without infrastructure changes and about 50 on wastewater, while the county's report indicated Freeville could have capacity for about 250 units. Several participants cautioned those numbers require verification: Freeville's contract engineer (Cedarwood Engineering) told village leaders he believes practical capacity may be closer to 70 units.
Participants also raised regulatory pressures that may change long-term planning needs. Miles McCardy and others mentioned DEC rules targeting nitrates and other treatment parameters, and the group discussed potential plant upgrades and replacing pumping stations. Members agreed the task force must request written capacity assessments from local engineers, ask Camden Group for system status updates, and reconcile study numbers with operational engineering input before making recommendations.
