The purpose of the requested resolution is to schedule a public hearing on the creation of County Water District Zone of Assessment "031" (North Park Water System). The DCWWA is requesting that the County establish County Water District Zones of Assessment "031" to provide water services to directly adjacent properties along a water main extension (interconnection) in the Town of Hyde Park. The interconnection is part of a larger project that connects the Hyde Park Regional and Quaker Hill Water Systems. A Map, Plan and Report for Zone of Assessment "031" will be submitted for review. The request for resolution is to begin the public hearing procedure for the Zone of Assessment creation. The DCWWA's ability to provide a new water service to this area is contingent on the creation of the Zones of Assessment within the County Water District, encompassing all properties in the System's service area. To create the requested County Water District Zones of Assessment, the Legislature must first adopt a resolution to schedule the required public hearing. Attached, please find Resolution 2024062, which can be used as a template for this requested resolution. Cc: Jason Teed, PE, DCWWA DUTCHESS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT Proposed County Water District ZONE OF ASSESSMENT "031" (North Park Water System, Town of Hyde Park, NY) MAP, PLAN AND REPORT Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority Poughkeepsie, NY DUTCHESS COUNTY WASTEWATE ASTEWATER AUTHORITY SEPTEMBER 2025 DUTCHESS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT PROPOSED ZONE OF ASSESSMENT "031" (North Park Water System, Town of Hyde Park, NY) MAP, PLAN AND REPORT INTRODUCTION This Map, Plan and Report contains the information required for the formation of the proposed Dutchess County Water District Zone of Assessment "031" (Zone), which will provide water through an interconnection to the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority's (Authority's) Hyde Park Regional Water System, at Crofton Street nearest the northeast corner of the system's boundary. Proposed Zone will include one hundred and eighty-two (182) properties located along State Route 9G, South Cross Road, Fallkill Road, and North Quaker Lane in the Town of Hyde Park. The Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority will enter into a contract (the "Service Agreement") with Dutchess County on behalf of the Zone of Assessment for the purpose of administering the sale of water to the properties contained within the Zone, with such service to be provided through the water system facilities as described below. The Authority will administer the Zone pursuant to guidelines established by the Service Agreement and collect water revenues. Water service rates will be set annually by the Authority. COUNTY WATER DISTRICT ZONE OF ASSESSMENT "031" The proposed Zone, delineated by the attached description provided in Appendix "A" consists of one hundred and eighty-four (184) properties located along State Route 9G, South Cross Road, Falkill Road, and North Quaker Lane in the Town of Hyde Park. Approximately one hundred and fifty-seven (157) of the parcels are a mixture of single and multi-family residential dwellings, including vacant parcels. Approximately twenty-seven (27) of the parcels are commercial with a mixture of schools, mobile home parks, apartments, stores, auto- industrial and more. PHYSICAL FACILITIES The Authority will construct a water main extension to connect to the existing Hyde Park Regional Water System, which is part of a larger project that interconnects the Quaker Hill Water System to the Hyde Park Regional Water System. In addition, the Quaker Hill Water - Hyde Park Regional Water System Interconnection Main Project will also include the interconnection of the existing South Cross Water System (which DCWWA intends to acquire from the current owner) as well as the an interconnection of the existing Dutchess Estates Water System (which DCWWA intends to acquire from the current owner) Proposals to establish a new Zone of Assessment for the South Cross Water service area and Dutchess Estates Water service area were previously submitted under separate cover. WATER DEMAND The projected combined average daily demand for the parcels to be served in the Zone is 81,000 gallons per day at current buildout. There are approximately twenty-three (23) vacant properties ranging from approximately 0.2 acres to 84 acres with a potential for larger developments. The summation of the twenty- three vacant parcels is approximately three-hundred and forty-six (346) acres. The entirety of the Zone encompasses approximately one thousand two-hundred and eighty-three (1,283) acres. The Hyde Park Water Treatment Plant provides extensive treatment including but not limited to filtration, disinfection, and corrosion control before distributing water throughout its system. The Water Treatment Plant is permitted and capable of producing about 2,100,000 gallons per day but produces about 1,100,000 gallons per day to meet current demand. The Water Treatment Plant is committed to meeting a demand of approximately 1,600,000 gallons per day, considering the current service area, private projects currently under construction within the existing service area, and existing agreements to provide water for new service areas. The Hyde Park Water Treatment Plant will have no issues serving the proposed Zone, including the number of vacant properties and their potential for small and large developments. CAPITAL COSTS AND ALLOCATION The total cost of the Quaker Hill to Hyde Park Regional Interconnection Main Project is estimated at $21,875,700. The DCWWA has received grant funding from the NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) for up to 70% of the total cost of the project, resulting in a grant fund of $15,312,990. The remaining project balance of $6,562,710 will be paid through a subsidized loan from the NYS EFC issued to the DCWWA, spread over a 30-year period. It is DCWWA's intent that debt service on the loan will be allocated among all Zones of Assessment that are directly serviced by Interconnection Main: the existing Zone of Assessment "U" (Quaker Hills Water System), the proposed Zone (North Park Water System) and the two additional proposed Zones of Assessment described above for the South Cross Water System and the Dutchess Estates Water System, which are currently under development. A copy of the report generated for the above referenced project is included in Appendix "E" of this report. The Zone will pay an annual charge to the Authority's Hyde Park Regional Water System (comprised of County Water District Zones of Assessment A, B, C, D, G, I, L, R, 028, and proposed 029 and 030) for their proportional share (based on aggregate average daily water demand) of annual debt service expenses. Outstanding debt was used to finance the purchase, maintenance and improvement of the water treatment, distribution and storage facilities by which the Zone will receive its water service. It should be expected that additional debt will be incurred in the future for the ongoing maintenance of the water system infrastructure. In order to provide a water main extension in accordance with the preferred route submitted in the NYS EFC grant request report, a transfer of ownership of existing main is being sought on the property defined as the Crofton Mews. The DCWWA continues to explore different cost-saving designs that make the project financially feasible while remaining in-line with one of the three alternative routes provided in the Engineer's Report titled Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy, prepared by Tighe & Bond, last revised June 2024 included in Appendix "E". In addition to the capital costs associated with the Interconnection Main, the existing annual debt expenses for previous improvements to the Hyde Park Regional Water System will be allocated equitably, through the assignment of benefit units, to each parcel included in the Zones of Assessment that receive water from the Hyde Park Regional Water System and thereby benefit from funded improvements. This includes; the proposed Zone of Assessment "031", existing Zones of Assessment "A", "B", "C", "D", "I", "L", "R", "U", and "028", and proposed new Zones of Assessments "029A&B" (Dutchess Estates Water System), "030" (South Cross Water System), and any future proposed Zones of Assessment that are established and receive water from the Hyde Park Regional Water System. Application of the Benefit Assessment Methodology to the current district parcels results in a total of three- thousand one hundred and eighty (3,180) benefit units within the proposed Zone. The anticipated capital costs for a typical single-family residence within the North Park Water System and Zone is approximately six hundred and twenty-nine dollars ($629) should all Zones of Assessment be created along the larger project which interconnects the Quaker Hill Water System to the Hyde Park Regional Water System. For the purposes of creating the Zone, the worst-case scenario of no additional Zones of Assessment are created beyond North Park Water would translate to an anticipated capital cost for a typical single-family residence of approximately nine hundred and sixty-eight dollars ($968). It is anticipated that this expense would appear on the 2030 property tax bill (second year of operation as a consecutive system). To clarify further, the anticipation of this expense occurs at a time when the entirety of the QHW-HPR Interconnection Main project has been completed, and long-term financing has been established. All parcels in the Zone will be assessed for any future capital costs for necessary improvements to the Quaker Hill to Hyde Park Regional watermain extension or to the Hyde Park Regional Water System. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE COST The operation and maintenance costs for the Zones of Assessment will be the cost of water produced by the Hyde Park Regional Water System and the Authority's cost to operate, maintain and administer the water main distribution system, as reflected in the annual O&M budget adopted by the Authority. The 2025 adopted Water Rates for the Hyde Park Regional Water System is included in Appendix "B". The rates include a fixed monthly service charge based on the customer connection meter size, and a charge per thousand gallons of metered water use. For a single-family residential parcel in the Zone, the estimated annual 0&M charge would be approximately eight hundred and forty-four dollars ($844). CONNECTION CHARGES The one-time service connection charge for a typical single-family residence with a ¾" meter connection would be one thousand one-hundred and fifty dollars ($1,150.) For a property with a 1" meter connection the one-time service connection charge would be one thousand four hundred dollars ($1,400.) For those properties with connection sizes greater than 1", the connection charge would be determined on a case-by- case basis. ANNUAL COST PER TYPICAL PROPERTY The total annual cost for a typical property in a zone is generally a combination of the long-term capital charges (debt service) and water usage charges. In the proposed Zone, a typical property will be a single-family dwelling unit. Given the assumptions and estimates described above, the projected "First Year" total cost for a typical single-family dwelling in the Zone will be one-thousand eight hundred and twelve dollars ($1,812) at a worst-case scenario, and one-thousand four hundred and seventy-three ($1,473) at a best-case scenario. Reference is made to Appendix "D" for a breakdown of each scenario based upon partial and full Zones of Assessments created under this report as well as the additional proposed Zones of Assessments to be submitted under separate cover. #### Appendices Appendix "A" - Description of County Water District Zone of Assessment "031" Appendix "B" - Hyde Park Regional Water System Adopted Water Rate Schedule - Effective January 1, 2025.

Proposed Process Flow Diagram Preliminary Treatment Building Layout Preliminary Site Layout Project Implementation Schedule Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report Executive Summary Tighe&Bond Executive Summary Tighe & Bond has evaluated two alternatives for addressing the recent PFOS MCL exceedance at the Quaker Hill Water System. The two alternatives considered for the Duaker Hill Water System include abandonment of the existing wellfield and treatment system and interconnection to the Hyde Park Regional Water System (HPRWS) or eplacement of the existing wellhouse/treatment building with a new system with PFA! reatment. A no-action alternative is also discussed in the report but will not satisfy th • Alternative No. 1: • Connect the Quaker Hill Water System to the HPRWS (Route B) • Booster pump station at the North Tank site • Abandon the existing Quaker Hill Wellfield and treatment system • Alternative No. 2: • Install a new treatment building with deep foundation Install new system components including treatment for PFOS Improvements to existing wells Demolish the existing wellhouse/treatment building Site improvements to protect the new facilities from flooding An opinion of probable project cost was developed for the two alternatives (Section 2.6) and are summarized in Table E-1, detailed opinions of probable cost for each alternative are provided in Appendix C. TABLE E-1 Alternative No. 1 & 2 Opinion of Probable Cost Item Alternative No. 1 Alternative No. 2 Construction Cost $12,881,100 Engineering (20%) $4,886,000 $2,576,300 $977,200 Contingency (30%) $3,864,400 $1,465,800 Escalation (4%/year for 3 years) $1,609,900 $612,000 Opinion of Probable Cost $20,931,700 $7,941,000 A life cycle cost analysis (Section 3.1) was utilized to better compare the two alternatives to determine the most long-term cost-effective alternative, rather than just the alternative with the lowest capital construction cost. Table E-2 summarizes the net present value of each alternative over a 70-year life cycle planning period, which is the anticipated life cycle of the Alternative No. 1 transmission main.

Additionally, Alternative No. 1 has the ability to increase the customer base served by connecting other Public Water Systems along the route which could ultimately result in the lowest debt service cost per EDU. Alternative No. 2 has no potential to increase the customer base. Based on the life cycle cost analysis, estimated annual debt service, potential to increase the customer base by interconnecting other public water systems, and non-monetary factors (see Section 2.7), Alternative No. 1 is the recommended alternative. The basis for selection of Alternative No. 1 is as follows: • Lowest life cycle cost • Potential to connect several other PWSs, including PWSs in potential environmental justice areas and disadvantaged communities • Potential for the lowest annual debt service cost per user if all existing PWSs along the proposed route connect to the system • Simpler construction and permitting • Less operation and maintenance • Better public perception It is important to consider that the number of PWSs that have PFAS concerns is based upon data provided by DCBCH which is relative to the previous MCL of 10 ppt. It is anticipated that additional PWSs may have PFAS concerns when considering the new MCL of 4 ppt. This engineering report has been prepared in anticipation of the pursuit of a low-interest loan or grant. Table E-3 provides the opinion of probable cost for implementation of Alternative No. 1 in a format that is consistent with funding agency requirements.

(Tighe & Bond), has been engaged by DCWWA to prepare this Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) in a format consistent with the New York State Environmental Facility Corporation (EFC) New York State Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Engineering Report guidelines. 1.2 Site Information 1.2.1 Location The Quaker Hill Water District (District) is in the eastern extent of the Town of Hyde Park, NY, as shown in Figure 1-1 below. The District serves approximately 109 residential connections located along Quaker Hill Drive and surrounding streets including Pennington Drive, Guerney Drive, Barkley Road, and Shaker Lane. Service Are Town of Hyde Park FIGURE 1-1 Quaker Hill Water District Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-1 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond The District was formed in 1970 and, after being acquired by the Town of Hyde Park in 1980, underwent significant upgrades including construction of a new treatment building and the addition of Well No. 2. The Water District Advisory Committee was formed in 1988 to assist the Town with effective administration of the District. At present, the District's racilities include two wells, one hydropneumatic tank, and one wellhouse/treatment building. Water is delivered to the distribution system via a series of 6-inch cast iron water mains, totaling approximately 9,500 feet in length. 1.2.2 Geologic Conditions Figure 1-2 shows the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil map for the District. The District is largely composed of Nassau, Hoosic, and Natchaug soil types. The existing wellfield and the existing wellhouse/treatment building are within the Natchaug muck soil type as shown in Figure 1-2. Natchaug muck is categorized as Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) Type B/D and is defined as highly decomposed organic material over loamy glaciofluvial deposits and/or loamy till. Natchaug muck soils are very poorly drained, nearly level soils in low areas or wetlands. The reported depth to bedrock is more than 80-inches and the reported depth to the water table is 0-6 inches. Quaker Hill Wellfield FIGURE 1-2 Quaker Hill Soil Map Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-2 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond A report titled Quaker Hill Water District Pumphouse Building Evaluation by Morris years and to recommend improvements for repairing or replacing the wellhouse/treatment building. The 2010 Report references a geotechnical report prepared by Daniel Loucks. Subsurface conditions at the site, based on one boring drilled at the site and documented in the above- referenced geotechnical report, are expected to consist of the following soil stratums: • 0 - 4 feet below ground surface (bgs) - loose to very loose silty sand FILL; 4 - 14.5 feet bgs - Very soft, black, PEAT; • 14.5 - 41 feet bgs - Loose, native sandy gravel or gravelly sand with minor amounts of silt; • 41 - 43.5 feet bgs - Dense native gravelly sand with silt; and • Refusal at 43.5 feet bgs. In addition to the one test boring near the existing wellhouse/treatment building, the 2010 report describes that two deep test pits were excavated with a backhoe approximately 100 feet west of the existing wellhouse/treatment building. However, the results of these test pits were that the same peat material is present at a depth of approximately 6 feet below grade. 1.2.3 Surface Water Features As shown on Figure 1-3, the existing wellhouse/treatment building parcel is completely within a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) regulated freshwater wetland (SP-21). Fall Kill Creek flows from north to south through the parcel and there are also federal wetlands around Fall Kill Creek; much of which overlap with the NYSDEC wetlands. Fall Kill Creek is a Class C waterbody. Class C waterbodies are suitable for supporting fisheries and non-contact activities. 17066 Quaker Hill Wellfield Parcel QUAKERIIL.OE 590048 592036 94030 NYS DEC Fed. NWI FIGURE 1-3 Wetlands at Quaker Hill Wellhouse/Treatment Building Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-3 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond 1.2.4 Environmental Resources The District was found to be within the NYSDEC rare plants and rare animals check zone as shown on their Environmental Resource Mapping tool. The locations shown in the Environmental Resource Mapper Rare Plants and Rare Animals layer are not precise locations. Rather, they show those generalized areas where New York Natural Heritage has information in its databases regarding rare animals and/or rare plants. These generalized areas show the vicinity of actual, confirmed observations and collections of rare animals and rare plants. The precise locations are not provided by this tool. The Environmental Resource Mapper Tool noted that the District is within the vicinity of Bats which are listed as endangered or threatened. No significant natural communities were noted within the vicinity of the District. 1.2.5 Environmental Justice Areas & Disadvantaged Communities The Quaker Hill Water District is not within a potential environmental justice area (PEJA) according to the NYSDEC info locator mapping tool presented in Figure 1-4. However, an area just north of the Quaker Hill Water District between Route 9G and Fallkill Road is identified as PEJA (purple shading). Some of the public water supply systems (PWSs) discussed later in the report are within this PEJA. DeWitt Mills Slaatsburg Route 9G Pleasant Plains Margaret Lewis Norie State Park Route 9 Fallkill Road Quaker Hill Water District Hyde Park FIGURE 1-4 Town of Hyde Park Potential Environmental Justice Areas Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-4 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond The PEJA maps are based on U.S. census block groups that had populations that met or exceeded at least one of the following statistical thresholds: 1. At least 52.42% of the population in an urban area reported themselves to be members of minority groups; or 2. At least 26.28% of the population in a rural area reported themselves to be members of minority groups; or 3. At least 22.82% of the population in an urban or rural area had household incomes below the federal poverty level. According to the 2014-2018 5-year American Community Survey (ACS), conducted by the US Census Bureau, the percentage of the census block group who reported themselves as a minority population is 34.73% and the percentage below the poverty level is 3.82%. Therefore, this portion of Hyde Park is considered a PEJA since more than 26.28% of the population in the rural area reported themselves to be members of minority groups. The percentage of the population below the federal poverty level (3.82%) is less than the statistical threshold (22.82%). The Quaker Hill Water District is not a disadvantaged community (DAC) according to the NYSDEC info locator mapping tool. However, the area west of Route 9G is identified as a DAC (see Figure 2-1). Some of the public water supply systems (PWSs) discussed later in the report are within this DAC area. 1.2.6 Floodplain Considerations The Quaker Hill wellfield and wellhouse/treatment building has experienced flooding in the past, with the most notable flooding event in August 2011 during Hurricane Irene. Reportedly, flood waters rose up to 3 feet above grade in the vicinity of the wellhouse/treatment building, submerging the generator, lifting the propane tank off its support, and entering the wellhouse/treatment building, rendering the system inoperable. Review of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance rate maps (FIRMs) shows that the area is not within a mapped 100-year or 500-year flood area, and therefore, no formal flood elevation exists. As such, we recommend utilizing historical records to provide adequate protection from flooding for any new buildings at the site. Although official measurements were not recorded for the 2011 flooding, District representatives stated that flood waters rose to just below the electrical equipment inside the wellhouse. Based on field measurements, this is approximately 3 feet above the finished floor of the existing wellhouse/treatment building. In accordance with the Recommended Standards for Water Works (10 State Standards), the finished floor of any new building constructed at the site should be located at least 3 feet above the flood of highest record, or approximately six feet above existing grade. 1.3 Ownership & Service Area The Quaker Hill Water District is owned and operated by the DCWWA. DCWWA is an independent public benefit corporation established, at the request of the County of Dutchess, by an act of the State Legislature and governed by an appointed Board of Directors. The mission of DCWWA is to protect and enhance the health, environmental Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-5 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond sustainability, and economic stability of Dutchess County and its residents through the provision of clean drinking water and proper treatment of wastewater. As an owner and operator of water and wastewater systems, DCWWA is committed to the provision of reliable water and wastewater service. DCWWA has a team of professionals including certified water operators who operate the Quaker Hill and Hyde Park systems. 1.3.1 Water District Boundaries The Quaker Hill Water District is approximately 100 acres in size and includes 109 served properties. There is only one vacant parcel within the District that is undeveloped and there are 4 other undevelopable lots. The district delineation is described in the Proposed County Water District Zone of Assessment U Map, Plan, and Report (MP&R) dated February 2015. Figure 1-5 from the MP&R shows the Quaker Hill Water District boundaries. Water Treatment Plant Base Service Area Connected IROW FIGURE 1-5 Quaker Hill Water District 1.3.2 Outside Users There are no existing outside users, water purchase contracts, or inter-municipal agreements with the Quaker Hill Water District. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-6 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond 1.3.3 Population Trends The population for the Quaker Hill Water District has been relatively consistent since the completion of the residential development in 1970. There is no census data available for only the Quaker Hill Water District. The estimated population served by the district is 350. The development is built out and all residences are occupied excluding a single vacant developable parcel. There are no current or anticipated plans to expand the Quaker Hill Water District. Therefore, the population is projected to remain steady over the next 20 years. 1.3.4 Historical and Projected Water Use Data Existing Demands The Quaker Hill Water District has two onsite groundwater wells (Well No. 1 and Well No. 2). One totalizing flow meter measures total flow from the facility; however, no individual flow meter for each well with readout is present to measure and record individual flow production. Since no individual flow data is available, monthly operating reports were reviewed to evaluate well production for the district. Monthly operating reports from January 2022 through November 2023 were evaluated. A summary of wellfield daily demand including data from January 2022 through November 2023 is summarized in Figure 1-6. Quaker Hill Water District Demand 2022-2023 100,000 90,000 80,000 70,000 (gpd) 60.000 and District Den 50,000 10,000 20,000 20,000 9 10,000 838°° 090000 1/1/2022 4/1/2022 6/30/2022 9/28/2022 12/27/2022 Date 3/27/2023 6/25/2023 FIGURE 1-6 Quaker Hill Water District Daily Demand 2022-2023 Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 923/2023 12/22/2023 1-7 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond As shown in Figure 1-6, daily demand was generally higher in 2023 than it was in 2022. This increased demand was caused by water main breaks in the distribution system, the largest of which was estimated by DCWWA operations staff as 60,000 gpd. There were no major leaks in 2022, therefore, the flow data from 2022 is assumed to be more representative of actual system demands. For this reason, production data from January through December 2022 was used to determine average and maximum day demand. Since there is no flow meter monitoring instantaneous flow from the facility, there are no records for peak hourly demand for the facility. As such, the peak hour demand was estimated using typical peaking factors. Typical peak hour peaking factors (ratio of peak hour demand to average day demand) range from 2 to 7 (Water Treatment, Montgomery, 1985). A summary of this average day demand, maximum day demand, and peak hour demand is provided in Table 1-1. TABLE 1-1 Quaker Hill Water District Demands Demand Demand Condition (gpd) (9pm) Average Day Demand Maximum Day Demand 25,000 17 56,000 39 Peak Hour Demand 100,000 69 1 Based on Peaking Factor of 4.0 x Average Day Demand As shown in Table 1-1, average day demand is 25,000 gpd, or approximately 17 gpm, the maximum day demand during this period was 56,000 gpd (which occurred in June 2022), and the estimate peak hour demand is 4,200 gallons per hour (gph), or approximately 69 In 2014, as part of the Quaker Hill Water District Evaluation (2014 Report), the demands for the Quaker Hill Water system were based on 2013 production data. Based on 2013 production data, the average day demand was determined to be 24,428 gpd and the maximum day demand was 44,100 gpd. This indicates relatively consistent demands in the Quaker Hill Water District during years with minimal water main breaks. The 2014 Report recommended several steps to address issues in the distribution system including a leak detection program, replacement of meters, installation of backflow preventers, and strategic water main improvements. Although not necessary to address the PFAS violation, we agree that improvements to the water distribution system are important to reduce unaccounted for water and ultimately a more stable water demand. As such, the recommended distribution system improvements for the Quaker Hill Water System are not included in the alternative analysis but are presented as "Phase 2" as discussed in Section 2.5. Further discussion regarding the condition of the existing water mains can be found in section 1.4.2. Fire Flow With no elevated storage, the system is not currently designed to provide fire flow. The 2014 Report estimated ISO needed fire flows of 750 gpm for 2 hours (90,000 gallons) based on the minimum distance of 30-50 feet between existing single-family dwellings. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-8 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond Future Demands The development is built out and all residences are occupied excluding a single vacant but developable parcel. The system has sufficient capacity to serve the additional parcel should it be developed. The District is located in a rural area of Hyde Park, and so there are a limited number of properties that could feasibly connect to the District, therefore, no future demands are anticipated. Unaccounted Water Based on the wide variation in total daily production discussed above, it appears that there has been a significant amount of unaccounted for water throughout the life of the Quaker Hill Water System. The 2014 Report estimated unaccounted for water due to water main breaks and leaks may have exceeded 100% for many months in 2013. However, metering limitations (customers are billed at a flat rate and usage is not metered) make it difficult to estimate what percentage of the demand is unaccounted for water. Adjacent Public Water Systems Several PWSs, the largest of which is the Hyde Park Regional Water System (HPRWS), are located near the Quaker Hill Water District. These systems are discussed in greater detail in Section 2.2. Community Involvement DCWWA maintains a website and notification system for alerts and advisories regarding the Quaker Hill Water System. This provides a convenient way of communicating with the users of the Quaker Hill Water System. There have been no major capital improvement projects for the Quaker Hill Water System in many years. It is assumed that the community would be in support of improvements that protect the drinking water system and address the outstanding POS MCL violation. There is also potential for enhanced community involvement if the interconnection alternative (see Section 2.2) is selected, offering a resolution for adjacent PWSs with outstanding water quality violations. 1.4 Existing Facilities 1.4.1 Location & Layout The Quaker Hill Water District is accessed from North Quaker Lane in the Town of Hyde Park and serves the residential properties along Quaker Hill Drive, Shaker Lane, Barkley Road, Guerney Drive, and Pennington Drive (see Figure 1-5). The District facilities are located on an approximately 7 acre site, as shown in Figure 1-7 below. Access to the site is via a 20-foot-wide utility easement near the end of Quaker Hill Drive. The access drive is a gravel road approximately 260 feet long that runs between two residential properties. The parcel is 400-feet in diameter centered on one of the wells. The parcel is low-lying and completely within a NYSDEC freshwater regulated wetland. Fall Kill Creek runs through the parcel. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-9 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond The electric service for the existing facilities is overhead from the power line that runs in a back lot right of way on the west side of North Quaker Lane. The overhead power lines cross the creek and the wetland, with utility poles located in the wetland.

Figure 1-9 shows a schematic of the existing system. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-11 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond TURN GA IK ANK (BURIED) CHLORINE → TO STRATION (109 CONNECTIONS) WELL 1 WELL 2 FIGURE 1-9 Existing System Schematic According to available system documentation from the Town of Hyde Park, the Quaker Hill Water Corporation developed the central water system during the period of 1965 to 1970. Due to poor water distribution main installation practices, the water system experienced extensive water main leaks by 1976. District records indicate that the water mains were installed directly on shale, with no gravel bedding. This has resulted in a multitude of water main failures over the years. Unfortunately, leak detection programs have had minimal success because of the fractured nature of shale. It has also been noted that, in general, the water mains were not installed to five feet below ground surface, and on average have just over three feet of cover, rendering the piping susceptible to damage from frost. By 1978 the Dutchess County Department of Health assumed operational control of the system from the Quaker Hill Water Corporation. Circa 1980, the Town acquired the water system, forming the Quaker Hill Water District. The water system's sole hydropneumatic tank was replaced around 1998. The New York Department of State awarded the Town of Hyde Park a Local Government Efficiency Grant in 2011. The Grant funds were used for an engineering evaluation and to assess the feasibility of transferring the District's assets and management to DCWWA. In February of 2015, the Town of Hyde Park transferred ownership of eight water and wastewater systems to DCWWA, including the Quaker Hill Water System. As the Quaker Hill Water System is now 54 years old, and with minimal reconstruction projects undertaken under previous ownership, it is generally recognized that most system components are beyond their useful service life. The 2014 Report noted concerns regarding the condition of the wellhouse/treatment building and distribution system and identified several mechanical and safety issues. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-12 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond While the water supply of the District is of adequate quantity, there has been a recent MCL exceedance for PFOS (see Section 1.5 for further discussion). 1.4.3 Present Condition Source Capacity Groundwater Well No. 1 and Well No. 2 are the two sources of water supply for the Quaker testing data collection was conducted from April 2020 to May 2021. DCDBCH representatives reviewed the data and issued an official determination that the Quaker Existing well capacity was estimated as part of the 2014 Report based on historical records and the DCDBCH inspection reports. According to a 1978 report by Morris Associates, Well No. 1 is an 8-inch diameter shallow gravel well, with a safe yield of 220 gpm. The well is approximately 50 feet deep, with a 20 foot deep clay confining layer. Well No. 1 is equipped with a 185 gpm well pump. There are no well construction details for Well No. 2; however, a DCDBCH inspection report from 1983 reports that the well is equipped with a well pump rated for 112 gpm. In both the 1983 and 1984 reports, it was noted that Well No. 2 had not received a completed works approval; we were unable to confirm if this had ever been received. Table 1-2 shows the reported capacity for the two wells based on the most recent water withdrawal reporting forms. TABLE 1-2 Reported Well Capacity Well Capacity (gpm) Well 1 180 Well 2 109 Capacity (gpd) 259,200 157,000 According to 10 States Standards, the total developed groundwater source capacity shall equal or exceed the design maximum day demand with the largest producing well out of service. Since there is no atmospheric storage, the groundwater wells must meet peak hour demand (estimated to be 69 gpm, see Section 1.3.4). The system has had no issues maintaining system pressures, even with the history of water main breaks. With the largest well (Well No. 1) out of service, the firm capacity of the wellfield is 109 for Well No. 2. The well pump sizes and capacities should also be confirmed. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-13 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond Water Quality Prior to recent regulations requiring public water supplies to test for perfluoroalkyl substances in source waters, Quaker Hill records indicate that concentrations of all regulated contaminants were well below their respective regulatory limits. However, both Quaker Hill source water wells contain perfluoroalkyl concentrations that exceed the EPA's MCL of 4 nanograms per liter (ng/L) or parts per trillion (ppt), and New York State's current MCL of 10 ppt. Section 1.5 provides further discussion regarding the MCL exceedances in the Quaker Hill System. Site/Civil/Security Several low hanging branches were observed along the entrance road. hese branches perimeter fence with barbed wire and is equipped with a manual swing gate at the main entrance. The fence is in fair condition, with several areas of rusting observed. There are Bered. There are no door contacts, security cameras, or security alarms. Safety The Quaker Hill Water System facilities were evaluated for compliance with general health and safety practices as well as OSHA CFR 1910 as part of the 2014 Report. Although OSHA does not have direct jurisdiction over municipality-owned public utilities in New York, the facility is subject to compliance with New York State safety requirements which are very similar to OSHA and must provide a safe working environment for employees, contractors, and visitors at all times. Several of the safety concerns highlighted in the 2014 Report have been addressed since DCWWA took ownership of the system. The following health & safety concern remain: • Eye wash is accomplished through the use of portable bottles. Permanent eye wash/shower stations should be considered in all locations where chemicals are handled and stored. Appropriate signage should be located near all eye wash stations. Structural/Architectural The existing wellhouse/treatment building is a single story structure with single wythe, 8- inch CMU walls, a concrete slab on grade and timber framed gable roof. The interior dimensions are 14'-9" by 14'-9" with a floor to ceiling height of 7'-10". Overall, the existing wellhouse/treatment building is in poor condition. The building structure has significant structural issues. Occupancy of the building in an earthquake or significant wind or flooding event would be unsafe. Settlement of the building and floor slab has resulted in misalignments of the piping system and cracks in the floor slab leaving the wells vulnerable to contamination. The building has been subjected to flooding (see Section 1.4.5), which has also impacted the life expectancy of the structure and its equipment. Settling of the structure is likely due to poor subsurface ground conditions and the history of the issues are well documented. The architectural components of the building are also in poor condition including the asphalt shingle roofing which is heavily deteriorated and is approaching a failed condition. There is also moderate rust on the hollow metal door and door frame. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-14 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond It is feasible to remove and replace the broken mortar joints. However, since it is likely unreinforced, the repaired masonry system will be susceptible to further cracking of the mortar joints particularly if any further movement of the building occurs. Also, while some of the failed mortar joints have been filled with spray foam insulation, it is likely that other failed joints have allowed moisture to enter into the concrete masonry blocks. Finally, unreinforced masonry does not provide significant lateral load resistance (wind/earthquake), and so the building might be unsafe during these conditions. We recommend demolishing the existing masonry building and replacing it with a new structure. Process/Mechanical Equipment at the Quaker Hill Water District facility varies in age and condition. However, most of the equipment is at or past the end of its useful service life. This section provides an overview of the condition of the process/mechanical equipment including: • Wells & Well Pumps • Process Piping • Hydropneumatic Tank • Chemical Feed System Two wells are currently in place at the site. Well No. 1 is located inside the treatment building. A sleeve was installed in Well No. 1 a few years ago according to DCWWA staff; however, this solution was only intended to be temporary and therefore Well No. 1 needs to be replaced. The new well casing should be extended at least 18 inches above grade, and 3 feet above maximum flood elevation, in accordance with 10 States Standards, and be provided with a lockable, watertight well cap. Well No. 2 is located outside of the fenced area and the grading around Well No. 2 is not graded to allow surface drainage away from the well. We recommend that grading improvements be made to Well No. 2 and the casing should also be extended to 3 feet above the maximum flood elevation. Test Well No. 3 has been abandoned. The motor for Well Pump No. 1, along with the wiring, check valve, and well pipe was replaced in 2023. The age of both well pumps and the motor for Well Pump No. 2 is unknown, and we expect they are past their useful life expectancy. Both well pumps should be replaced and sized for the conditions of the new treatment facility. Well yield testing is also recommended to confirm the safe yield capacity of each well. The piping system inside the building consists of cast iron pipe, isolation valves, a flow totalizer, and chlorine injection point. Overall, the piping is in poor condition. The paint system on the piping has deteriorated, and areas of corrosion were observed. Portions of piping where it interfaces with the floor slab have significant corrosion. Settlement of the building following its construction has resulted in a significant amount of cracks and sars oment existing pie naignment but rese are era ye. misalignment of the floor slab. This has resulted in notable pipe alignment issues and practices and the piping is at risk as the building continues to settle. All piping inside the building should be replaced. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-15 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond Pressure stabilization for the system is achieved using a 10,000 gallon hydropneumatic tank. The hydropneumatic tank was replaced in approximately 1998 and is past its useful life expectancy. The existing hydropneumatic tank is completely buried, however, according to 10 State Standards, hydropneumatic tanks should be located above normal ground surface and be completely housed. The wellhouse/treatment building houses a sodium hypochlorite chemical feed system. Overall, the feed system is in good condition, with the day tank and metering pump recently replaced. The metering pump is a diaphragm style pump. Based on the typical service life for chemical feed system equipment, the tank and metering pump will be due for replacement in a three to five years. Therefore, it is recommended that the chemical feed system be replaced at the time of the treatment building improvements/replacement. The design of the new chemical feed system should include redundant metering pumps and a tank vented to the exterior. Instrumentation & Controls A cellular alarm system at the existing facility notifies operations staff of high and low pressure conditions. This is currently the only alarm system at the facility. Neither well is equipped with level instrumentation, flow meters, or individual pressure gauges on their discharge lines. The new treatment processes should include new instrumentation and controls for well levels, individual well flow meters, combined flow meter, pressure monitoring, tank level monitoring, new pump controls, chlorine residual monitoring, and alarms. Electrical and HVAC The existing electrical system at Quaker Hill facility consists of a propane fired engine generator, automatic transfer switch (ATS), main disconnect switch, pump starters, load center, pump control panel and a compressor disconnect switch. Most of the equipment has reached the end of its useful life and shows signs of corrosion. We recommend that the main disconnect switch, starters, pump control panel, compressor disconnect switch and load center be replaced. There is currently no surge protection provided on the well pumps. We recommend that surge protection be provided to protect the well pumps. The generator is a 35 kilowatt propane-fired Katolight generator, located exterior to the building, but within the perimeter fencing system. The ATS is a 100 amp, 240 volt Katolight. Both the generator and ATS appear to be in fair condition, despite having veathered a flooding condition, when both the generator and switch were partially submerged. It is our understanding that most of the critical components in both pieces of equipment were evaluated and/or replaced following the flooding event. Also, the battery and charger were replaced in 2014. However, the generator and ATS are past their anticipated useful life and should be replaced and sized appropriately for the new treatment facility design. Also, the main disconnect switch and ATS installations are in violation of working space requirement of 36 inches (National Electrical Code) for electrical equipment. As a result, the main disconnect should be powered down completely before completing any service work on the switch. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-16 Section 1 Project Background & History Tighe&Bond The existing exterior light and interior unit heater are original to the facility and should be replaced. In general, wiring, conduit, and receptacles inside the building are in poor condition, and the receptacles are not Gri rated. The overhead electrical service for the wellfield and wellhouse/treatment facility comes from the east, across the wetland. DCWWA staff report that vegetation in the wetland has grown up beneath the electrical service and interfered with the overhead electrical lines. The vegetation has caused disruptions to the electrical service. It is difficult to perform maintenance and trimming of the vegetation beneath the electrical service because it runs 1.4.4 Permit Conditions The Quaker Hill Water District is subject to a water withdrawal permit. The water withdrawal permit limit for the Quaker Hill Water System is 289 gpm or approximately 416,000 gpd. There are no wastes generated as part of operations at the Quaker Hill Water System. 1.4.5 History of Infrastructure Damage due to Storm/Flood Impacts As discussed in Section 1.2.6, the Quaker Hill wellfield and wellhouse/treatment building has experienced flooding in the past, with the most notable flooding event in August 2011 during Hurricane Irene. Reportedly, flood waters rose up to 3 feet above the finished floor elevation of the existing wellhouse/treatment building, submerging the generator, lifting the propane tank off its support, and entering the wellhouse/treatment building, rendering the system inoperable. 1.5 Need For Project On January 17, 2024, DCWWA received a Notice of Violation for exceeding the PFOS MCL (10 ppt) based on an average of the last three samples for Well #2 at the Quaker Hill Estates Water System. A copy of the Notice of Violation is attached as Appendix B. Samples collected since 2021 from Well 1 and Well 2 consistently detected PFOA and PFOS, and concentrations have risen over time. Recent water quality samples collected in late 2023 and early 2024 from both wells at the Quaker Hill Water System range from 3.10 ppt to 13.60 ppt for both PFOS and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). The current New York State MCL for PFOS and PFOA is 10 ppt. On April 10, 2024, the EPA announced the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for six per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The new rule set a MCL for PFOS and PFOA of 4 ppt and a MCL for PFHXS, PFNA, and HFPO-DA (commonly known as GenX Chemicals) of 10 ppt. In addition, mixtures containing two or more of PHS, PFNA, HFPO-DA, and PFBS will be regulated by a calculated Hazard Index (HI) value of 1 (unitless) based on the sum of individual compound's concentrations relative to their reference dose (Equation 1-1). Table 1-3 provides a summary of the raw water sample results for PFAS compounds with current regulatory limits.

To summarize, the improvement project at the Quaker Hill Water System is needed for the following reasons: • Notice of Violation for MCL PFOS Exceedance • Sanitary Surveys identify issues with the condition of existing equipment • Infrastructure is well past its useful life • Infrastructure is in poor condition • Facilities are subject to flooding • Certain system components do not meet current design standards HI 0.00 0.14 0.12 0.12 0.11 0.14 0.20 0.13 0.16 0.09 0.08 0.12 0.00 0.29 0.27 0.16 0.17 0.16 0.13 0.14 0.15 0.22 0.12 0.14 0.16 Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-18 Section 1 Project Background & History 1.6 Capacity Development receiving DWSRF assistance Tighe&Bond Attached in Appendix D is the completed Capacity Development Program Evaluation Form. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 1-19 Tighe&Bond Section 2 Alternative Analysis 2.1 Alternatives Considered There are two main alternatives to consider for the Quaker Hill Water System including bandonment of the existing wellfield and treatment system and connection to the Hyd ark Regional Water System (HPRWS) or replacement of the existing wellhouse/treatmen building with a new system. A summary of the alternatives being considered is below: • Alternative No. 1: Connect the Quaker Hill Water System to the HPRWS (Route B) • Booster pump station at the North Tank site • Abandon the existing Quaker Hill Wellfield and treatment system • Alternative No. 2: • Install a new treatment building with deep foundation Install new system components including treatment for PFOS • Improvements to existing wells • Demolish the existing wellhouse/treatment building • Site improvements to protect the new facilities from flooding • Alternative No. 3: • No Action A no-action alternative (Alternative No. 3) will be discussed, but given the issues noted in Section 1.5 of this report, it is not a viable alternative. Rehabilitation of the existing wellhouse/ treatment building was also considered but found to be infeasible due to the significant settling issues and vulnerability to future flooding. Section 2.5 presents the recommendations for water main improvements in the Quaker Hill Water System. Although not necessary to address the PFAS violation, the water main improvements should be considered as a second phase to either of the alternatives. A total of 500 feet of water main replacement within the existing Quaker Hill distribution system has been included in each alternative to address the highest priority areas of water main replacement. 2.2 Alternative No. 1 - Interconnection to HPRWS As part of the alternatives analysis to address the PFOS MCL exceedance, the installation of a transmission water main from the HPRWS to replace the impacted water supply for the Quaker Hill Water System was considered. Hydraulic conditions along the alternative interconnection routes were evaluated for water main sizing and the need for pumping and/or pressure reduction. The hydraulic evaluation used both the existing HPRWS hydraulic model (WaterGEMS) and GIS data to develop elevation and pressure profiles along each route. Hydraulic calculations presented utilize the Hazen-Williams equation to calculate headloss, assuming the installed main is cement lined ductile iron pipe with a C-factor of 130 (most conservative in range of values). Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-1 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond The Quaker Hill Water System does not currently provide fire flow. Therefore, the Interconnection evaluation considers domestic flows only and recommended sizing does not include fire flow capacity. Three interconnection route alternatives were evaluated: • Route A - Connection to the HPRWS from the 12-inch main in Route 9 at the Prospect Street intersection. (26,300 LF) • Route B - Connection to the HPRWS at the North Storage Tank site via a cross country easement. (25,100 LF) • Route C - Connection to the HPRWS at the North Storage Tank site via Mill Road and Hudson Drive. (35,900 LF) The Route A, Route B, and Route C interconnections are shown in Figure 2-1.

Route A connects to the existing 12-inch main at the intersection of Route 9 and Prospect Street upstream of the pressure reducing valve (353 ft HGL; 84 psi), Route B connects to an existing 12-inch main near the Loyal Order Moose Club and ultimately at the North Tank Site (354 ft HGL; 44 psi), and Route C connects to the existing 16-inch inlet/outlet main at the North Storage Tank (354 ft HGL; 44 psi). Hydraulic modeling shows that the existing HPRWS is able to supply max day demands to Quaker Hill and the additional PWSs included in Table 2-1 for each route alternative with little to no impact on pressure or velocity in the HPRWS. Elevation and pressure profiles for Route A, Route A with the additional PWSs, Route C, and Route C with the additional WSs are shown in Figures 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5 respectively. Please note that Route E pressure profiles are not presented but are the same as Route C starting at approximatel 12,500 LF. Pressure profiles show that pumping will be required to maintain positive pressure along each route. Pump stations were conceptually sited at the former Staatsburg well site parcel at 57 Reservoir Road, Hyde Park, along Route A and at the North Storage Tank parcel at 56 Hudson Drive, Hyde Park, at the beginning of Route B & C. Pressure profiles assuming pumping at these locations are include in Figures 2-2 through 2-5. Each pump station is conceptually sized to boost water to the HGL that will maintain the existing 529 ft nominal HGL in the Quaker Hill Water System. Table 2-3 summarizes the conceptual pump station sizing criteria.

Tone els and at ate one one are once in one and aring eng favorable pressure conditions (high pressure near the HPRWS), provides more opportunity to supply other PWSs, and is considerably shorter than Route C.

It is anticipated that additional PWSs may have PFAS concerns when considering the new MCL of 4 ppt. 2.2.4 Preliminary Interconnection Design The preliminary design of Alternative No. 1 includes the following design considerations and assumptions: • Route B interconnection layout as shown in Figure 2-1 • 8-inch HDPE DR11 water main (sized for Quaker Hill + PWS domestic flows only, not sized for fire flow) • Water mains installed primarily via horizontal directional drilling (HDD) beneath the paved section of the ROW. Assumed quantities of HDD water main installation through different soil conditions are shown below and have been estimated based on NRCS soil mapping: • 12,740 linear feet through loam soils • 2,530 linear feet through soft rock soils • 9,420 linear feet through hard rock soils • Flushing hydrants every 500 feet • Gate valves every 1,000 feet • No service connections at the other PWSs (Quaker Hill only) • Replacement of 500 feet of water main within the existing Quaker Hill distribution system with new 8-inch HDPE DR11 water main Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-10 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond • Prefabricated booster pump station at the North Tank site • Installed on a concrete frost wall with spread footing foundation (assumed no deep foundation is needed) • Shipped fully assembled, factory pre-piped and wired HVAC system included with package provisions and room for future pumps that could be added when other PWSs connect to the system. • Standby generator and ATS included in booster pump station package • Brick exterior finish • New 3 phase electric service at the North Tank site • Minor site grading/access improvements at the booster pump station • Pressure sensor, PLC and cellular radio to relay pressure at Quaker Hill to the booster pump station Other water main materials that could be considered include Class 52 cement lined ductile iron and C900 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) DR21 (200 psi) pipe. However, given the long length of water main, limited number of services, and to minimize disturbance and restoration costs, we believe HDPE piping installed via HDD will be the most cost effective option for the interconnection. 2.3 Alternative No. 2 - Replace Water Treatment System As part of the alternatives analysis to address the POS MCL exceedance and issues with the existing Quaker Hill facilities, the replacement of the Quaker Hill Water Treatment System was considered. This alternative generally includes the following: • New treatment building on a deep foundation • Pre-filtration system and adsorptive media contactors for removal of PFAS • New atmospheric water storage tanks and service pumps • Spent backwash tank and backwash pumps • Sodium hypochlorite feed system • New well pumps and piping • New instrumentation and controls • New generator and electrical components • HVAC and plumbing in the new treatment building • Site improvements to protect the new facilities from flooding • Demolition of the existing wellhouse/treatment building • Replacement of 500 feet of water main within the existing Quaker Hill distribution system with new 8-inch HDPE DR11 water main More details regarding the individual components are provided in the sub-sections below. A process flow diagram of the proposed system is shown in Figure 2-6.

Commercially available technologies tha nave been demonstrated at full scale to reduce concentrations of PFAS in drinking water include the following: • Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) • Anion Exchange (AIX) resin • Novel Sorbents (e.g., Fluoro-Sorb) • Nanofiltration (NF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) GAC, Alx resin, and novel sorbents utilize adsorption through filter/contactor vessels. In general, these adsorptive media selectively remove PFAS without affecting other ionic species once the media has been flushed and conditioned. NF/RO systems utilize membrane filtration to remove all ionic species from the influent flow. While they can be designed with multiple stages to increase permeate recovery, NF/RO systems create a continuous waste stream. This is problematic in unsewered areas such as the Quaker Hill Water System. Additionally, because NF/RO membranes remove ionic species indiscriminately, they often require downstream treatment processes to restore alkalinity and mineral content for corrosion control. They also are prone to fouling and many systems require extensive upstream pre-treatment. For these reasons, NF/RO was eliminated from further consideration as an alternative. GAC and AIX resin are both effective at removing PFAS, but have unique design, operation, performance characteristics. GAC has been used extensively in drinking water applications for decades and is the most studied and used treatment method for PFAS systems in the United States. With GAC media, PFAS are adsorbed in the pore spaces of the media particles. Since the pore spaces aren't selective, the GAC will adsorb a variety of other contaminants, particularly organic matter, which can reduce its lifespan as adsorption sites become occupied more rapidly. In an ion exchange process, the target contaminant is exchanged with a non-toxic compound on the surface of the resin bead - for PFAS treatment it is chloride ions that are transferred to the treated water. Novel Sorbents have gained more attention in the past 1-2 years as alternatives to GAC or AIX resin. Fluoro-sorb 200, manufactured by Colloid Environmental Technologies Company (CETCO), is a bentonite clay-based product with a surface modification making it effective at PFAS adsorption, while being more resistant to chlorine and other competing organic substances than GAC. Another novel sorbent, DEXSorb, is a corn-based media developed by Cyclopure. Although novel sorbents appear promising, there are relatively few full-scale municipal drinking water applications. A summary of the adsorptive media technologies is provided in Table 2-6. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-13 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond TABLE 2-6 Summary of Adsorptive Media Technologies for PFAS Removal Advantages Considerations • Proven technology at full-scale, many • Larger full scale filters, larger successful installations building footprint • Lower unit-cost basis • Competition from background • Can operate as "filter-adsorber" organics can reduce performance, longevity GAC • Startup requires high rate backwashing, large rinse water AIX • Breakthrough driven by short chain PFAS • Smaller full-scale filters, smaller building • Removal rate for long chain PFAS footprint molecules is not as efficient • More effective at removal of short-chain compared to other media PFAS than GAC • Presence of DOC and organic • No backwashing - less rinse water material can impact adsorption required for startup/conditioning than GAC (requires high-purity source water) • Higher unit-cost basis • Cannot withstand exposure to chlorine or other oxidants • Relatively new media with limited full-scale installations for PFAS removal • Potential for higher PFAS capacity than GAC • More resilient to interference from Novel organics and other co-contaminants Sorbents • Lower Empty Bed Contact Times than GAC • More resilient to chlorine than GAC For the conceptual Quaker Hill PFAS treatment design, we have assumed a GAC system will be used. GAC media is a well-known adsorbent for organics and has been widely applied in water treatment. Although it has the largest footprint requirement due to higher empty bed contact time (EBCT) requirements, the media itself is much cheaper on a unit- cost-basis, and GAC systems are more resilient to fouling because they can be backwashed and employed as "filter-adsorbers" whereby the lead filter protects a polishing vessel from fouling agents. Furthermore, pressure vessels are now being fabricated with underdrains and distributors that make them adaptable to use of multiple media types. Thus, using a GAC system as the model for this alternatives analysis will produce a conservative estimate to which value engineering concepts may be applied in subsequent design phases. Process selection (including GAC media selection) is typically confirmed through demonstration testing (bench or pilot testing) to account for the unique characteristics of the source water. The primary design criteria for GAC contactors are the design flow rate, EBCT - which is the time the water is in contact with the media, and surface loading rate. Backwash loading rates and durations are also important design considerations. The design conditions for the Quaker Hill GAC design are shown in Table 2-7. These design conditions are based on the AWWA WITAF 56 Technical Memorandum and Tighe & Bond's experience. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-14 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond TABLE 2-7 GAC System Design Criteria Component Design Flow Rate Surface Loading Rate Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT) No. of Contactors Contactor Type Vessel Configuration Backwash Headspace Backwash Loading Rate Backwash Duration Backwash Frequency No. of Backwash Cycles Stored Value Units 100 gpm 6 gpm/saft 10 min Pressure Vessel Dual Stage 30% 12 gpm/sqft 20 min TBD 1 cycles Based on the design criteria shown in Table 2-7, the Quaker Hill GAC system would consist of two GAC pressure vessels, each 6 feet in diameter with approximately 10 feet sidewall tank height. Total tank height with floor supports would be approximately 12 feet. Each vessel would contain approximately 135 cubic feet of GAC media. The GAC contactors would be installed in a dual stage arrangement. This arrangement would allow simultaneous production during media replacement and would allow sampling between vessels to monitor breakthrough of the lead vessel. With this arrangement, the lead vessel can remain in service until the media is completely exhausted, leading to high utilization of the adsorbent media. The dual stage arrangement includes built in redundancy as either the lead or lag vessel can be removed from service without reducing the treatment flow rate. Thus, no dedicated redundant vessels would be provided. There will be a valve tree with butterfly valves between the lead and lag contactors. The valves will be manually operated and allow for operators to switch the lead and lag vessels, isolate the lead and lag vessels, run the vessels to waste, and backwash the vessels. 2.3.2 Pre-filtration No raw water sample data was reviewed as part of this conceptual design. However, it has been assumed that a pre-filtration system such as a bag filter or cartridge filter system will be installed upstream of the GAC contactors to prevent buildup of particulates which wuring these al esign a pase to see ine est appropriete are ingration lee era d pre-filtration trains will be installed to allow continuous operation while the filters are being changed. 2.3.3 Sodium Hypochlorite Sodium hypochlorite will be injected into the flow downstream of the GAC contactors for disinfection. For the conceptual design, it has been assumed that a sodium hypochlorite system consisting of the following components will be installed: • HDPE spill containment pallet • Polyethylene (PE) storage tank vented to the exterior • Two diaphragm type chemical metering pumps Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-15 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond • PE injection tubing in a PVC containment pipe w/ retractable injection quill It has been assumed that finished water will be plumbed close to the polyelhylene storage tank to allow operators to mix the sodium hypochlorite solution. In addition, a tepid water eyewash/safety shower will also be installed near the sodium hypochlorite equipment. 2.3.4 Water Storage In addition to meeting peak demands, having adequate storage will be important for the new treatment facility since it will provide a source of water to backwash/rinse media. Three are three options for water storage at Quaker Hill: • Replace the existing hydropneumatic tank • Install atmospheric storage with pumps • Install an elevated water storage tank Although 10 State Standards states that hydropneumatic tanks are acceptable for very small water systems (less than 150 living units), large hydropneumatic tanks are generally considered a safety hazard and best engineering practice is to avoid large hydropneumatic tanks in system designs, when feasible. The only property currently owned by the DCWWA that could be used for elevated storage is the treatment facility parcel which has limited room and significant geotechnical challenges. Elevated storage would likely not be cost effective due to the poor subsurface conditions at the site and would also be very visible. Therefore, we recommend that the existing hydropneumatic tank be replaced with new above grade atmospheric storage that meets 10 State Standards. 10 State Standards says that the minimum storage capacity for systems not providing fire protection shall be equal to the average daily consumption (25,000 gpd for Quaker Hill). However, 10 State Standards says that this requirement can be reduced when the source and treatment facilities have sufficient capacity with standby power to supplement peak demands of the system. The proposed system will have standby power and reported capacity with the largest well out of service is 157,000 gpd (see Section 1.4.3). Therefore, the storage for the Quaker Hill Water System could be less than 25,000 gallons per day and still be in compliance with 10 State Standards. As discussed in Section 2.3.5, approximately 5,000 gallons of finished water will be required for a typical backwash and more during initial backwash processing. The backwash volume should be considered in the water storage tank sizing. Tighe & Bond recommends a minimum of 20,000 gallons of storage for the Quaker Hill Water System. We recommend the 20,000 gallons of storage is accomplished by installing two 10,000 gallon polyethylene atmospheric storage tanks. The dimensions of a 10,000 gallon PE storage tank are approximately 11'-10" in diameter and 14'-1" tall. Installing two 10,000 gallon tanks instead of a single 20,000 gallon tank will allow for the building height to be shorter and allow redundancy for when the tanks are eventually replaced. Quaker Hill PAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-16 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond The new atmospheric water storage tanks will be vented, have an overflow to grade, an‹ ave bulkheads for service pump suction piping. All tank appurtenances should be designed in accordance with 10 State Standards. The existing Quaker Hill Water System has been documented to provide treatment to existing hydropneumatic tank. 2.3.5 Spent Backwash Water Management GAC systems require extensive backwashing and rinsing when virgin media is installed to 'emove fines and rinse residual metals from the media surfaces (e.g., arsenic and iron) Additionally, systems may require backwashing of the lead filter vessel if there are particulates or mineral concentrations (Fe/Mn) that precipitate out over time causing differential pressure to build. In the past, backwashing of adsorptive media contactors was discouraged because it was believed to disrupt the mass-transfer-zone, mixing "spent" media with "fresh" media and making contaminant breakthrough less predictable. This belief has been found to be invalid and GAC is often used as a filter-adsorber, where backwashing occurs more frequently to prevent differential pressure buildup. For high- purity water sources, the media may only require a low-rate backwash annually or semi- annually to "fluff" the bed. A more thorough review of the raw water quality is necessary to estimate the degree to which backwashing will be required at the Quaker Hill Water System. At a minimum, extensive backwashing will be required any time new media gets installed. As shown in Table 2-7, the anticipated backwash rate of each pressure vessel is as high as 12 gpm/sqft (depending on water temperature). This equates to a backwash flow rate of 236 gpm. Backwashing at 236 gpm for 20 minutes equates to a backwash volume of approximately 4,800 gallons per backwash. The backwash is then followed by rinsing/conditioning step, which is described in more detail in Section 2.3.13. If routine backwashing (say monthly) will be required, integrating a spent backwash water storage tank and recycling system will reduce lost water and simplify operations. Accounting for freeboard within the tank, a nominal spent backwash storage volume of 6,000 gallons is recommended for such a system. We have assumed the spent backwash storage tank will also be a PE tank. The dimensions of a 6,000 gallon PE storage tank are approximately 10'-0" in diameter and 12'-1" tall. In some cases, backwash and rinse water may be directed to a dewatering filter bag where it is allowed to permeate and discharge over the ground surface. This is unlikely to be permitted for Quaker Hill due to its proximity to surface water and wetlands. Therefore, either a permanent spent backwash water tank as described in this section must be installed or operators must coordinate for a frac tank to collect and haul the backwash Note that the backwash water should not have any dissolved PFAS compounds since they will have adsorbed to the media. The fines, however, will need to be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. These can typically be collected as part of the spent media extraction process by the GAC supplier. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-17 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond At present, there are no wastewater regulations for PFAS and most sewered systems allow the discharge from frac tanks into their system as it represents a small fraction of their rated capacity and domestic flows. The spent backwash tank would be vented, have an overflow to grade, a drain valve, anc a lid to allow for periodic removal of accumulated media. A submersible pump will be installed inside the spent backwash tank and suspended approximately 18 inches above the bottom. The submersible pump will recycle the decant water to the head of the treatment system. 2.3.6 Pumping replacement of the existing well pumps, discharge piping, and electrical wires and controls. New service pumps will be required to pump the water from the atmospheric storage tanks into the distribution system. The pumps will be controlled to maintain pressure within the distribution system. We anticipate the use of two 500 gallon air bladder pressure tanks, triplex service pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs), and a jockey pump to handle low flow conditions in the system. As discussed in Section 2.3.5, a submersible pump will be installed inside the spent backwash tank and suspended approximately 18-inches above the bottom. The submersible pump will recycle the decant water to the head of the treatment system. 2.3.7 Instrumentation & Control All new instrumentation and controls should be provided for the Quaker Hill Water System. The anticipated new instrumentation includes: • Individual well level monitoring transducers • Individual well flow meters • Pressure gauges/switches to monitor headloss through pre-filtration system and GAC vessels • Water storage tank level sensors • Backwash tank level sensor and backwash flow meter • Sodium hypochlorite tank level sensor • Finished water flow meter • System pressure sensor • Door security switches • Pump controls • Control panel • Chlorine analyzer • Security cameras Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-18 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond 2.3.8 Water Treatment Building Based on the subsurface conditions expected at the site (see Section 1.2.2), the following are critical geotechnical considerations for construction at the site. Additional subsurface explorations are needed as design advances. • Subsurface conditions are unsuitable for support of the proposed treatment building and tank/generator pad on conventional shallow soil-supported foundations. These structures should be supported on deep foundations. The treatment building should be supported on deep foundations with associated pile caps, grade beams and a structural slab. Deep foundations should be piles bearing on the dense gravelly sand with silt or underlying bedrock at around 41 feet bgs. • Piles could consist of driven timber piles or steel H-piles, or other suitable pile types. It is expected that the building loads will be relatively low and therefore timber piles are expected to be an effective pile type. Limited subsurface information and laboratory testing is available for evaluation of the existing organics layer with respect to estimating settlements at the site. However, the available data suggests that compression of the organics on the order of 10 inches could occur as a result of placement of 3 feet of fill across the site for raising site grades. Similarly, placement of 1 foot of fill across the site could result in settlement on the order of 4 inches. Therefore, placement of fill at the site should be minimized to the extent possible. However, since placement of fill at the site will be necessary to provide dry access during a flood event, an approach than can be considered is to surcharge the site with a preload. The preload would generally consist of placement of fill across the site to some elevation above the planned finished grades (fill to 2 feet above the proposed finished grade, for example, settlements resulting from the fill would be monitored, and then once settlement monitoring indicates that settlements reached asymptotic conditions, the additional fill could be removed from the site the duration of preading, but generaly it would be expected t program would require multiple months to consolidate the organics. It should be expected that long-term settlement from the organics will occur as a result of secondary compression and organics degradation, whether or not additional fill is placed over the site. The magnitude of settlement from secondary compression and organics degradation is not known, but it is anticipated that approximately 1 to 2 inches of settlement would occur over 30 years. • Installation of utilities through areas underlain by organics should consider the effects of long-term settlements. Based on the geotechnical considerations discussed above, we recommend that the new treatment building is supported by a deep foundation bearing on the dense gravelly sand with silt or underlying bedrock at around 41 feet bgs. The deep foundation will be designed to support the new loads inside the water treatment building including the water storage tanks, spent backwash tank, GAC vessels, and the building structure itself. We also recommend that the propane tanks and generator are installed on a concrete pad supported by a deep foundation. Schematic phase design for the treatment building and equipment pad foundations includes the following: Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-19 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond • Timber piles spaced at 9 ft oc (+/-) throughout the treatment building footprint and exterior equipment pad (47 total piles) • Reinforced concrete for pile caps/grade beams, foundation walls, and reinforced slab • Backfill interior of the building 5 feet in height • Exterior grade beams to 4 feet below exterior grade, consisting of 2.5 ft wide, 2 ft height beams • Exterior walls exposed up to 6 ft above exterior grade, total height 8 ft (6 ft above grade, 2 ft below grade to top of grade beam), 1.5 ft thick • Interior grade beams 2 ft thick, 2.5 ft wide • Slab assumed 12 inches thick • Exterior equipment mat 2.5 feet thick • Volume of soil backfill interior of building to achieve elevated floor slab equal to building footprint × 5 ft fill height (6 ft filling less 1 ft thick slab) We anticipate that the finished floor elevation (FFE) of the new treatment building will be approximately 6 feet above the FFE of the existing treatment building for compliance with 10 State Standards to protect the system from flooding. An aluminum staircase and landing will be provided for access into the building with double man doors. Overhead coiling doors will be located on the west and north sides of the building to facilitate future equipment removal. Removable guardrails will be installed on the interior side of the overhead door openings to meet safety requirements for fall protection. Figure 2-7 shows a conceptual layout of the system components and size of the building. As shown in Figure 2-7, the preliminary building size is 34' X 54' with a 18' side wall height. The building superstructure will consist of concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls with a 4-inch masonry veneer. The cavity walls will be designed and detailed to meet the in- force energy code requirements. A gabled roof will be constructed of timber roof trusses with asphalt shingle roofing. We anticipated one interior room for electrical/controls and storage space.

As shown, the proposed building would be located south of the existing wellhouse/treatment building and the generator and propane tank equipment pad would be located west of the existing treatment building. Clearing and grubbing will be required for construction of the building and other site improvements. The existing generator and propane tank will need to be temporarily relocated during construction. The existing treatment building and components will need to be maintained during construction until the new system is commissioned. The new treatment building is to be located far enough from the existing building to provide sufficient room for construction, while also maintaining access to the existing wellhouse/treatment building. The existing hydropneumatic tank, treatment building, and generator/propane tank will be demolished once the new system is commissioned. To provide dry access to the treatment building entrance during a flood event, the access drive approaching the west side of the treatment building will need to be raised approximately 2-3 feet. This will require fill and preloading as discussed in Section 2.3.8. Since the north side of the building does not need to be accessed during a flood event, we anticipate that the grade will slope down to the north to approximately match existing grades. Therefore, the finished floor elevation on the north side of the building will be approximately 5-6 feet above finished grade. This will minimize the amount of fill and preloading that is required. The access drive in the ROW will be widened to a minimum of 15 feet for equipment access. The finished surface for the access drive and area around the treatment building will be paved as shown in Figure 2-8. The generator and propane tank mat will be at grade with individual equipment pads to elevate the generator and propane tanks at least 3 feet above the FFE of the existing water treatment building to protect from flooding. Bollards will be installed to protect the equipment from accidental vehicle strikes. Existing Well No. 1 and Well No. 2 will need to be tied over to the new treatment building one at a time once the new system is ready for start-up. The finished water from the new treatment building will connect to the existing 6-inch water main below the access drive and the old water main going to the existing wellhouse/treatment building will be capped and abandoned. We recommend flexible pipe connections at wall penetrations through the new treatment building foundation due to the potential long term settlement of the fill around the treatment plant as discussed in Section 2.3.8. Other miscellaneous site improvements include the following: • Security fencing and gates • Tree trimming along the access road • Water storage tank overflows and filter-to-waste lines run to a rip rap apron towards Fall Kill Creek • Replace Well No. 1 • Extending the well casing for Well No. 2 with new pitless adapter • Concrete secondary containment pad for spill containment during media changeout Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-22 N - OVERHEAD DOORS (TYP OF 3) BOLLARD (TYP) 6" WATER MAIN NEW GENERATOR AND (2) 1,000 GAL PROPANE TANKS ON CONCRETE PAD SUPPORTED BY DEEP FOUNDATION CUT AND CAP EXIST 6" WATER MAIN 6" INSERTION VALVE 6" WET TAP EXISTING 6" WATER MAIN NEW PAVED PARKING — AND SITE ACCESS DEMOLISH EXIST BURIED HYDROPNEUMATIC TANK DEMOLISH EXIST FENCE DEMOLISH EXISTING WELLHOUSE/TREATMENT BUILDING WELL NO 1 OVERHEAD ELECTRIC SERVICE TEMP RELOCATE EXISTING GENERATOR AND PROPANE TANK DURING CONSTRUCTION, THEN DEMOLISH WELL NO 2 CONNECT WELL NO. 1 AND WELL NO. 2 TO NEW TREATMENT BUILDING NEW BELOW GRADE ELECTRICAL SERVICE TANK OVERFLOW AND GAC-TO-WASTE ROUTED TO RIP RAP APRON NEAR FALL KILL CREEK CLEAR AND GRUB FOR EXPANDED SITE FOOTPRINT AND TREATMET BUILDING SECURITY FENCING NEW 34' X 54' CMU TREATMENT BUILDING ON DEEP FOUNDATION, SEE NOTE 1 QUAKER HILL PFOS VIOLATION REMEDY HYDE PARK, NY 40' SCALE: 1" = 40' 80' NOTES 1.

It is assumed that all interior process piping will be Schedule 80 PVC and that the piping will be supported through a combination of ground, wall, and overhead supports. The process piping following the service pumps will transition to ductile iron before leaving the building and eventually connecting to the existing 6-inch water main. Sample taps will be installed at various locations in the process piping between the different process components. 2.3.11 HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Electric unit heaters will maintain space temperature in the proposed treatment building. A dehumidifier will operate based on incoming water temperature to reduce condensation on surfaces. The building will be ventilated intermittently with 0.25 cfm/sqft during winter and 1cfm/sqft during summer. A programmable timeclock will enable the system twice daily to flush out potential build-up of chemical fumes. A manual switch allows operation in continuous ventilation mode if needed. The heating system will be sized to maintain space temperature during winter at low airflow operation only. An emergency eyewash and safety shower will be installed near the chemical system. Code requires tempered water for emergency fixtures to be between 60°F and 100°F. A condensing tankless propane fired water heater will provide sufficient water in this temperature range. Propane for the water heater and a standby generator will be stored in two (2) 1000 gallon above ground tanks. The tanks shall be monitored by the supplier to assure fill levels are maintained at 60% during periods below +10°F. This fill level is required to provide sufficient evaporation down to -5°F. To support the building loads during a loss of normal power, a 60kW propane generator with a 260A ATS and a propane tank will be provided. A new electric service is required for the treatment building. We have assumed that a new underground electric service will be installed for the new building and the old service will be removed. The conduits for the new service will be horizontal directional drilled (HDD) beneath the wetland to avoid the maintenance issues with the existing overhead utilities (see Section 1.4.3). The new electrical service will be a 250A, 208V 3PH to support the mechanical loads, required building HVAC, lights, and receptacles. A new electrical meter, 250A service entrance-rated enclosed circuit breaker, and panelboard will be installed for the building loads. A motor control/SCADA panel will be provided for the new well pumps, treatment system, and associated instrumentation. Motor starter/disconnect will be provided for motor loads not supported from a VFD. 2.3.12 Waste Generation and Removal Exhausted GAC media will be saturated with PFAS. Bulk GAC can be reactivated by the media supplier through thermal treatment at high temperatures to remove and destroy adsorbed contaminants. This reactivation process restores the media's adsorptive capacity. However, this process will not remove all the compounds and will not destroy the PFAS compounds; therefore, reactivation is not appropriate for GAC utilized for PFAS Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-24 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond removal. Thus, the spent GAC from the Quaker Hill Water System will need to be periodically removed and replaced with virgin GAC. Disposal alternatives for spent GAC include disposal by reactivation for industrial reuse (media suppliers may not accept the low volumes of GAC required for small systems), incineration, and landfilling. The cost of each disposal method depends on the proximity to disposal sites and volume of material: Disposal costs can be a significant operation cost for GAC treatment systems. On April 19, 2024, the EPA finalized a rule which designates PFOS and PFOA as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as Superfund. The designation is expected to limit the disposal sites willing to accept spent GAC media. Many GAC suppliers have incineration/regeneration facilities capable of PFAS destruction and incorporate the cost for disposal in their estimates. We will confirm that unit-cost quotations used for media purchase/replacement reflect the additional expense for disposal. If the quotes do not reflect the disposal cost, we will estimate the cost to dispose at a landfill. There will be a small quantity of GAC that accumulates in the bottom of the spent backwash tank. This media should be removed annually or semi-annually. The pre- filtration filters will need to be changed regularly and properly disposed of. There are no other anticipated waste streams. 2.3.13 GAC Start-up Considerations There are a few aspects of starting up GAC systems that should be discussed, including: • Soaking requirements • Backwash requirements • Forward Flow Media Conditioning • pH Adjustment Period • Arsenic Flush • Disinfection Soaking Requirements When new GAC is added to a vessel it is relatively dry and void spaces and pore spaces are filled with air. Soaking allows the water to diffuse into the voids and pores and displace the entrained air. Because GAC surfaces are hydrophobic, it takes a reasonably long time to wet the carbon pores and displace the air. Soaking times depend on ambient temperatures and specifics of the carbon media but generally soaking requires about 48 to 72 hours. The vessel should be slowly filled in upflow mode to begin the soaking period and then let the water sit in the vessel. Raw water can be used for soaking. Backwash Requirements After soaking, the GAC media needs to be backwashed to displace all the entrapped air, remove carbon fines, and stratify the bed. Stratification allows the larger carbon particles to settle to the bottom of the vessel and provide vertical particle size distribution. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-25 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond Recommended backwash procedures upon start-up vary from vendor to vendor but generally include a slow ramp-up period, a full rate backwash period, and a ramp down period. This initial backwash procedure Is longer than the typical operating backwash procedure. The backwash water can be captured in frac tanks and hauled away, captured then recycled, discharged to a pre-treatment and sediment control system for conveyance to ground surface, or a combination thereof. In the treatment system described above, we have assumed a spent backwash storage and recycle system. If review of raw water data suggests that backwashing is not routinely required and only performed during media changeouts, the design could be modified te eliminate the spent backwash tank from the design and use the other approaches described above. Forward Flow Media Conditioning GAC media will create high pH conditions and can leach some trace metals (arsenic, iron) for periods after initial soaking. Operators must run the system in forward flow "filter-to- waste" mode at the design flow rate for a significant amount of time until field measurements and/or laboratory samples indicate the water meets drinking water standards. The following sections provide a basis for how to address the two primary parameters of concern - pH and arsenic. pH Adjustment Period The start-up of GAC systems often exhibit unacceptable increases in pH, often above 10 standard units (SU). The pH of the forward flow effluent can be elevated above allowable drinking water standards for 50 to 500 bed volumes. One bed volume for the proposed Quaker Hill GAC vessels is approximately 135 cubic feet or about 1,000 gallons. Therefore, the pH adjustment period for each GAC vessel may take anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 gallons. The pH, while high for drinking water purposes, poses relatively little threat to vegetation and can be discharged to ground where space is available and where permitted to do so. A riprap apron, sediment dewatering bag, or other methods can be used to prevent erosion and limit environmental impacts. We have assumed that a "filter-to-waste" line will discharge to grade at a rip rap apron towards Fall Kill Creek during the pH adjustment period. This outfall will be subject to a NYS DEC State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit, and we have assumed that neutralization will be required before discharging to grade. The filter-to- waste procedure during the pH adjustment period may require a standard operating procedure to waste at a slow flow rate to prevent localized flooding due to the poorly draining nature of the area. If the outfall is not permittable, then frac tanks will need to be used until the pH has dropped to acceptable levels. Frac tanks would be a significant operational cost since we are anticipating anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 gallons. A full size frac tank is approximately 20,000 gallons which means anywhere from 3 to 25 frac tanks would be required during the pH adjustment period for each vessel. Arsenic Flush Most GAC media contains some arsenic. As such, when GAC media is placed on-line, there is a high likelihood that leachable arsenic present on the activated carbon surface can be transferred to the liquid and end up in the drinking water. Thus, a flush of the GAC to waste is often required. The arsenic levels are usually reduced in a much lower number of Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-26 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond bed volumes (20 to 100 BVs) compared to the number of bed volumes required during 20-50 BVs of water, then running to ground for the rest of the rinse/conditioning period until pH stabilizes. Alternatively, GAC manufacturers are now producing pre-rinsed products with much lower residual arsenic concentrations to address this problem. These products (e.g., Calgon Filtrasorb®-01) are pre-treated and have effluent arsenic concentrations below 2 ppb immediately upon startup. They do, however, carry a cost-premium over conventional coal-based GAC products. to capture the initial flush. Disinfection Disinfection of empty adsorption vessels, piping, and other equipment should be achieved through chlorination through standard AWWA procedures. After the GAC is installed, soaked, backwashed, and flushed as described above, the system needs to be checked for the presence of bacteria via a rinsing procedure before being placed into service. Rinsing should be performed at the design flow rate that corresponds to an EBCT of 10 minutes. Two bacteriological samples shall be collected from the GAC effluent after the rinsing period. If the vessel fails the bacteriological tests, it will require disinfection using sodium hydroxide. The vessel will need to be retested until disinfection is successful. 2.4 Alternative No. 3 - No Action The "no action" alternative means that no improvements are made at the existing water treatment plant and that no interconnection to the Hyde Park Regional Water System will be installed. The no action alternative is unacceptable as it does not address the notice of violation or public health risks associated with PFAS as noted in Section 1.5 of this report. 2.5 Phase 2 - Quaker Hill Distribution System Improv. Due to the poor water main installation practices including shallow depth of installation and lack of pipe bedding, the Quaker Hill water system continues to experience a significant number of water main failures that are difficult to locate and repair. Based on the reported installation conditions and the history of water main failures, water main failures are likely to continue if the condition is not addressed. As per the 2014 Report, installation of customer water meters to quantify actual customer PFAS violation is addressed: Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-27 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond • Installation of new 8" HDPE water mains for the entire system • New flushing hydrants, valves, and air releases • Re-connect all services • Flow meters for each service connection 2.6 Opinion of Probable Cost 2.6.1 Cost Estimate Approach Conceptual opinions of probable costs (OPC) have been prepared for each of the viable alternatives discussed in Section 2.2 and 2.3. The opinion of probable cost includes the following components: l. Construction Cost: The budgetary cost estimates are based on Class 4 level construction cost estimates, as defined by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) International Recommended Practices and Standards. According to AACE International Recommended Practices and Standards, the estimate class designators are labeled Class 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, where a Class 5 estimate is based on the lowest level of project definition and a Class 1 estimate is closest to full project definition and maturity. The end usage for a Class 4 estimate is a conceptual study. The expected accuracy range of a Class 4 estimate is between +40% and -25%. The level of project definition for a Class 4 estimate is between 1% and 15%. The costs include overhead and profit, equipment costs, demolition/removal of existing equipment (if applicable), temporary provisions (if applicable), facilities and bypasses (if necessary, to complete the work), property acquisition (if applicable), easements, and costs regarding installation and start- up of improvements. This cost also includes a 5% mobilization/demobilization cost factor, and a contractor general conditions cost factor of 15% of the construction subtotal. The costs are based upon recently completed project bid forms, quotes from equipment manufacturers/vendors, and data contained in R.S. Means Construction Cost Data. 2. Engineering (20%): A 20% contingency has been applied to the estimated construction costs for the engineering fees. The 20% for engineering fees can generally be broken down further as: Engineering Design (8%) and Construction Administration/Observation (12%). 3. Contingency (30%): A 30% general contingency has been applied to the estimated construction costs. This contingency is in-line with the current level of project definition. 4. Escalation (4%/year): A 4% per year cumulative escalation has been applied to the estimated construction costs. This escalation accounts for changes in construction costs from the time this estimate was developed (2024) to the time the project is anticipated to be constructed (2027). 5. Total Project Costs: The total project costs are the sum of the construction costs, engineering costs, contingency, and escalation. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-28 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond 2.6.2 Total Project Costs Table 2-8 summarizes the opinion of probable cost for Alternative No. 1 and Alternative No. 2. The detailed OPCs for each alternative are provided in Appendix C. TABLE 2-8 Alternative No. 1 & 2 Opinion of Probable Cost Item Alternative No. 1 Alternative No. 2 Construction Cost $12,881,100 $4,886,000 Engineering (20%) $2,576,300 $977,200 Contingency (30%) $3,864,400 $1,465,800 Escalation (4%/year for 3 years) $1,609,900 $612,000 Opinion of Probable Cost $20,931,700 $7,941,000 Table 2-9 summarizes the opinion of probable cost for the recommended Phase 2 Quaker Hill distribution improvements. Please note that the escalation for the Phase 2 improvements has been escalated to 5 years instead of 3 years as they are expected to be completed after the PFAS violation remedy. The detailed OPC for the recommended Phase 2 improvements is provided in Appendix C. TABLE 2-9 Phase 2 Opinion of Probable Cost Item Construction Cost Engineering (20%) Contingency (30%) Escalation (4%/year for 5 years) Opinion of Probable Cost Cost $6,494,600 $1,299,000 $1,948,400 $1,411,400 $11,153,400 2.6.3 Annual Operation & Maintenance Costs Table 2-10 presents a summary of the probable annual operation and maintenance (0&M) costs for Alternative No. 1 and Alternative No. 2. The opinion of probable O&M costs includes the annual operation and maintenance costs for the interconnection and booster pump station for Alternative No. 1 and the new treatment system for Alternative No.2 as well as administrative costs, short-lived assets, and a 30% contingency. These probable annual 0&M costs presented in Table 2-10 are in 2024 dollars. A detailed opinion of probable annual O&M costs for each alternative are provided in Appendix C. TABLE 2-10 Alternative No. 1 & 2 Opinion of Probable Annual O&M Cost Alternative Cost Alternative No. 1 $112,500 Alternative No. 2 $230,800 2.6.4 Annual Debt Service The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program can provide either low- interest loans or interest-free loans and/or grant/principal forgiveness for project financing. To qualify for interest-free financing, called hardship financing, the municipality Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-29 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond • Have a population of less than 300,000 • Meet at least one of the following criteria: • Have a Medium Household Income (MHI) as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimate of data less thar 80% of the regionally adjusted statewide MHI, or If the MHI of the municipality is between 80% and less than 100% of the regionally adjusted statewide MHI, then the poverty rate of the municipality must be greater than the statewide poverty rate of 10.4%, or At least 50% of the project cost or project scope must serve, protect, or benefit an identified PEJA The population is less than 300,000 and therefore the first criteria is satisfied for both alternatives. The regionally adjusted MHI for Dutchess County is $86,977; 80% of this is $69,582. The Town of Hyde Park MHI (from the 2021 American Community Survey 5-year estimate) is $78,725. Therefore, the MHI is between 80% and 100% of the regionally adjusted statewide MHI. However, the Town of Hyde Park poverty rate is 8% (from the 2021 American Community Survey 5-year estimate) which is less than the statewide poverty rate of 10.4%. Additionally, Alternative No. 2 does not benefit a PEJA. Alternative No. 1 does benefit one PEJA but it is estimated that less than 50% of the project cost/scope would benefit the PEJA. Given the scope of the proposed alternatives, it is likely that the project would not meet hardship financing criteria for disadvantaged communities. However, there are Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (WIIA) grants available for drinking water projects addressing an emerging contaminant above the state determined MCL which may be awarded 70% of the total net eligible project costs with no maximum cap. Therefore, to estimate the annual debt service, we have presented two scenarios: no grant funding and 70% grant funding as shown below in Table 2-11 and Table 2-12. Alternative No. 1 (Table 2-11) also shows the cost per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) with Quaker Hill users only and assuming all potential PWSs connect to the system.

Each of these items are briefly discussed Environmental Impacts Alternative No. 1 is anticipated to have minor environmental impacts since the new water mains will primarily be installed within existing road rights-of-way and the booster pump station will be installed at the North Tank site which is already disturbed. Alternative No. 2 will have more significant environmental impacts due to construction of the new treatment building and site improvements within the wetland. Vegetation will need to be cleared and grubbed within the wetland as well as fill brought into the site. Some wetland area will be lost as a result of this alternative. The tank overflow and filter- to-waste line will also discharge to Fall Kill Creek periodically during operations. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-31 Section 2 Alternatives Analysis Tighe&Bond Availability for Future Connections Alternative No. 1 has the potential to connect 14 other PWSs. Although the other PWSs currently do not have known elevated levels of PFAS, it is important to consider that the number of PWSs that have PFAS concerns is based upon data provided by DCDBCH which is relative to the previous MCL of 10 ppt. It is anticipated that additional PWSs may have PFAS concerns when considering the new MCL of 4 ppt. In addition, the DCDBCH has indicated that several of the other PWSs would heavily enefit from connection to the HPRWS due to other issues such as poor water quality, Joor system management, system violations, etc. Although there are 14 PWSs currently identified that could potentially connect, the water main covers a significant distance along a developed road (Route 9G) and would provide the opportunity for additional service connections in the future. Alternative No. 2 will serve the Quaker Hill Water System but there are no opportunities for other connections. Service for PEJAs & DACS Alternative No. 1 has the potential to serve the PEJA north of Fall Kill Road (see Section 1.2.5) including one PWS that is within the PEJA which is referred to as Hill Top Court and Sales (NY1302130). Alternative No. 2 does not have the potential to serve any PEJAs. Alternative No. 1 has the potential to serve several PWSs within the disadvantaged community (DAC) including the Loyal Order Moose Club (NY1316574), the North Park Elementary School (NY1316165), the Roosevelt High School (NY1316164), and the South Cross Road Water Co. (NY1302802). Sustainability Considerations Alternative No. 1 is expected to have a lower carbon footprint as compared to Alternative No. 2. Alternative No. 1 has less pumps, a smaller building to heat, will have less waste generated (no GAC media waste), etc. Permitting Alternative No. 1 will require local and state highway work permits for installation of the water mains within the public road right-of-way. It will also require a NYSDEC Joint Application Submission for an Article 24 Freshwater Wetland Permit. Alternative No. 2 will require a much more involved permitting process and is anticipated to require a NYSDEC Joint Application Submission for an Article 24 Freshwater Wetland Permit and NYS DEC State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. Public Perception We anticipate that Alternative No. 1 may have positive public perception because it has the potential to serve multiple PWSs, has essentially no visible impacts, and would remove the source well supplies which contain unacceptable levels PFAS. Alternative No. 2 may have more public perception challenges, particularly for property owners close to the site where the new, larger treatment building will be visible and there will be more vehicle traffic for operation of the GAC system. Quaker Hill PFAS Violation Remedy Preliminary Engineering Report 2-32 Tighe&Bond Section 3 Summary & Comparison of Alternatives 3.1 Life Cycle Cost Analysis A life cycle cost analysis was utilized to better compare the two alternatives to determine the most cost-effective alternative, rather than just the alternative with the lowest capital construction cost. The net present value was calculated for each alternative as the capital cost (which includes construction and non-construction costs such as engineering) plus the present worth of the uniform series of annual O&M, minus the present worth of the salvage value of the system. This was calculated for a planning period of 70 years with a 4.0% inflation rate and a 2.5% discount rate (real discount rate taken from the latest version of Appendix C of OMB Circular A-94). The net present value for each alternative is presented in Table 3-1.
