CSO LTCP Brochure (834 Kb PDF file)The Planning Commission has taken the lead in organizing a consortium to develop a comprehensive inter-municipal Phase I Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) for Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO: overflows from combined storm & sanitary sewers) discharging into the Hudson River Estuary. The participating Albany Pool communities are the Albany Water Board; the cities of Cohoes, Rensselaer, Troy and Watervliet; and the Village of Green Island. Each community currently has its own State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit.
On their behalf, CDRPC received approval for two grants from the N.Y.S. Environmental Protection Fund totaling $2.45 million. The Albany Pool communities have also received approval for two grants totaling $673,293 from the NYS Department of State’s Shared Municipal Services Incentive program and an $80,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.. The estimated full cost to prepare the LTCP is approximately $5,000,000.
The Albany Pool of the Hudson River currently has 92 Combined Sewer Overflow points. Combined sewer systems are designed to discharge directly to surface bodies of water such as rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters during wet weather when total flows exceed the capacity of the combined sewer system or the treatment plant. Preparation of the Long-Term Control Plan will be consistent with New York State’s goals for a cleaner Hudson River and is expected to be completed in 2009.
