INTRODUCTION
The proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm Project involves the development of a commercialscale wind energy facility on Galloo Island located in eastern end of Lake Ontario. Galloo Island
is within the Town of Hounsfield, Jefferson County, New York. The project developers are
Babcock and Brown Renewable Holdings, Inc. of Houston, Texas (Babcock and Brown) and
Upstate New York Power Corporation of West Seneca, New York.
For purposes of this Conceptual Design Report, it was assumed that 84 wind turbine
generators (WTGs) and will be constructed capable of generating up to 267 megawatts (MW) of
power at peak capacity. In addition to the individual wind turbine generators, the project will
include the following elements:
Infrastructure improvements on Galloo Island to facilitate the project construction

including: a slip to allow barges and boats to deliver equipment, labor, and materials;
permanent and temporary residential housing; a cafeteria; a potable water treatment
system; a wastewater treatment system; a helicopter pad; and a power generation system.
An electrical substation on Galloo Island.
Access roads and an electrical collection system on Galloo Island designed to convey
power to the substation.
A buried 230-kilovolt (KV) high voltage alternating current underwater transmission

cable between Galloo Island and Stony Point, New York.
A transmission line of approximately 42 miles in length connecting the underwater cable

at Stony Point, New York and the existing New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG)
transmission line tie-in location.
An electrical substation at the existing NYSEG transmission line tie-in location.
As discussed in Section 2.0, Purpose and Scope, this conceptual design report only
addresses selected Galloo Island infrastructure improvements.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
URS Corporation (URS) was retained by Babcock and Brown and Upstate New York
Power Corporation to develop a conceptual design for selected infrastructure improvements
required on Galloo Island to support the construction of the proposed wind power project. The
following infrastructure improvements/systems were included in this scope of work:
Temporary housing required to support the peak construction phase of the project.
Permanent housing required to support the long-term operation and maintenance (O&M)
phase of the project.
Potable water treatment system.
Wastewater treatment system.
Fire protection system for proposed structures to comply with building codes.
Power generation system to provide power during the construction phase and during the
project long-term O&M phase of the project (such as in the event of a power outage).
The conceptual design contained in this report was intended to be suitable for use during
the planning stages of the project and as a foundation for the detailed design work. Therefore, the
primary objective of this conceptual design was to present island infrastructure improvements and
systems that are feasible, meet applicable codes, and are cost effective.
Incorporation of
innovative technologies, complex sequencing of operations, and optimization of systems, is

beyond this scope of work.
3.0
CHARACTERISTICS OF GALLOO ISLAND
Galloo Island is approximately 4-miles long by 1-mile wide and is described as largely
undeveloped land. Galloo Island is located in Lake Ontario approximately six miles from the
New York State mainland, and 20 miles from Watertown, New York. Figure 1, the Site Location
Map, presents the location of Galloo Island in Lake Ontario in relation to New York State and
Canada. Figure 2, the Proposed Project Improvement Plan, illustrates the current conditions on
Galloo Island such as topographic features, structures, property lines, elevation contours,
jurisdictional wetlands as well as proposed project improvements.
Galloo Island is currently owned and managed by Mr. Robert Kemper and Mr. Philip
Kemper under the company name Galloo Island Corp. (Island Owners). Mr. Rick Hartman is the
Island Manager for Galloo Island Corp. People and goods are currently delivered to Galloo
Island by small aircraft that land on a grass landing strip, or by small boats that dock at Gill
Harbor.
Historical operations on Galloo Island have included Coast Guard facilities, a lighthouse,
agriculture, raising deer, and seasonal rental for hunting excursions. On November 12, 2007 and
June 18, 2008, URS staff completed visual inspections of Galloo Island to become more familiar
with topographic features on the island and to complete land surveying activities. Galloo Island
contains both New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) designated wetlands. The topography of the
island is relatively flat, although portions of the northern and southern shoreline have some steep
cliffs. The elevation of Galloo Island is approximately 250-290 feet above mean sea level.
Limestone bedrock is apparent at several locations on the island including much of the
shoreline. The southwestern and northeastern ends of the island have a shallow lake bottom.
Galloo Island typically has higher wind speeds than inland sites creating a suitable wind power
project site. The normal temperature range in nearby Watertown, New York between April and
November is 25q to 85q Fahrenheit.
Currently there are two residential houses on the island that could be used for lodging
during the construction phase. Dirt access roads are present around the island which are used by
conventional trucks and all terrain vehicles (ATVs).
4.0
GENERAL LAYOUT OF HOUSING, O&M BUILDING, AND SYSTEMS

The preliminary location of the improvements and systems on Galloo Island was based
on discussions with the project developers and best engineering judgment. The intent was to
locate these facilities away from areas on the island that would present unnecessary risk such as
low-lying costal areas or very close to steep cliffs, etc. The proposed location ultimately was
identified adjacent to the existing residential and storage structures on the southeastern part of
Galloo Island. Figure 3 presents the location of these existing facilities on Galloo Island as well
as the conceptual layout for the proposed housing, O&M building, and associated support
facilities.
A brief description of the Galloo Island infrastructure improvements and systems is
presented in this section to provide the necessary background prior to analyzing the information
contained in subsequent sections.
The proposed permanent housing consists of two 12-unit, two bedroom condominium
style housing units located directly southwest of one of the existing residential houses. As
indicated in Figure 3, the two buildings will be situated on level ground just northwest of the
steep slopes extending down to Lake Ontario. This vantage point was considered suitable due to
the ability to observe advancing weather systems and the proximity to Gill Harbor where small
boats can dock.
The proposed temporary housing consists of four modular style buildings located
approximately 400-feet northwest of Gill Harbor between turbines WTG-53 and WTG-63. Each
building design allows for housing approximately 30 workers and includes showers and
bathrooms. These buildings may be leased or purchased as they will likely be removed from the
island after construction is complete.
A supplemental building will be located between the permanent and temporary housing
and will contain a kitchen, dining room, infirmary, commissary, laundry, and recreation area. A
propane aboveground storage tank (AST) system will provide propane to this building for kitchen
stoves/ovens as well as for laundry dryers.
Two 100-foot by 200-foot pre-engineered metal buildings will be situated 100 feet
southwest of the temporary housing and will be the designated location for the O&M offices,
equipment and parts storage, potable water treatment system, wastewater treatment system, and
fire protection system. Piping from the southernmost building will extend approximately 400 feet
into Lake Ontario for potable water influent, fire protection influent, and treated wastewater
effluent.
The proposed power generation system and associated diesel fuel storage will be
approximately 200 feet southwest of the two O&M buildings. This location was selected to have
minimal impact (noise and emissions) on the temporary and permanent housing.
Other than the northernmost O&M building which will be used primarily for equipment
and spare parts storage, each of the remaining eight buildings will be heated with either hot water
or steam boilers powered with diesel fuel. A diesel AST system will be located southeast of the
temporary housing and will provide diesel fuel to each of these buildings using buried piping.
The northernmost O&M building will be heated with suspended electric heaters (high bay
configuration).
Potable water and fire protection distribution piping will provide water to the proposed
buildings from the potable water treatment and fire protection systems. Similarly, wastewater
sewer piping will provide sewers to most of the proposed buildings connecting them to the
wastewater treatment system. The piping will be underground below the frost line, properly
insulated, or heat traced.
A commercial slip is proposed for the southern shore of Galloo Island approximately 1.7
miles southwest of the improvements described above. The slip will be used to deliver the
majority of the workers, construction materials and equipment to the island. A temporary offloading facility will also be constructed adjacent to the slip to allow for delivery of workers,
materials and equipment while the slip is being constructed. Figure 4 illustrates the conceptual
design of the slip and temporary off-loading facility, however, the basis of this design is
presented in a separate report and is not included in this scope of work.
5.0
LIST OF KEY CONSTRUCTION TASKS

The primary objective of developing this proposed list of key construction tasks was to
present the assumptions necessary to proceed with design work. Examples of these assumptions
include identification of construction tasks, anticipated task schedule, number of construction
workers, number of project developers workers, and support facilities associated with each phase
of construction. Before a final construction sequence can be issued, input from key stakeholders,
based on the assumptions contained in this report is recommended.
Figure 5 and Table 1 illustrates the anticipated construction schedule and staffing levels
assumed for the project. Information contained in Figure 5 was also based on a conference call
with representatives of D.H. Blattner & Sons, Inc. who were able to provide insight to
construction work on similar projects in remote areas. The total cumulative manpower presented
in Table 1 was calculated at the beginning of each task and accounted for the removal of
manpower for tasks that were completed. It should be noted that although the temporary housing
has been designed for approximately 130 workers, the anticipated staffing on the island only
approaches this level for a small percentage of the overall project. A more typical staffing level is
between 50 and 100 workers.
The proposed construction sequence duration is three years extending from 2010 through
2012. Construction work is planned to occur only during the period from April 1 to November 30
due to difficulties associated with working on Galloo Island during winter months. The following
sections present our understanding of what could be constructed during each construction year,
given the limited facilities currently present on Galloo Island. For each construction year, URS
included a task identified as unforeseen miscellaneous tasks to account for additional staffing to
complete tasks not currently identified or too minor to include in this report.
Construction Year No. 1 - 2010
5.1
Construction work planned for 2010 consists of the following projects:
Temporary off-loading facilities and a slip to allow barge and boat delivery of
construction materials and equipment.
-7-
Temporary living facilities for up to 130 workers.
Helipad suitable for landing helicopters.
Power generation system and associated fuel storage system.
Pre-engineered metal building to house the O&M offices, potable water treatment
system, wastewater treatment system, and fire protection system.
Building to house cafeteria, infirmary, commissary, laundry, and recreation area.
Pre-engineered metal building to be used for equipment and spare parts storage.
Fuel storage systems (diesel, gasoline, and propane).
Potable water treatment system.
Wastewater treatment system.
Fire protection system.
Solid waste handling systems.
Concrete batch plant.
The temporary off-loading facility and commercial slip illustrated in Figure 4 will be
constructed during the first year of construction. The temporary off-loading facility is similar to
that currently being used at the Wolfe Island Wind Power project under construction on the
Canadian side of Lake Ontario. It is expected that the temporary off-loading facility will be
constructed within four to six weeks and would allow for effective delivery of construction
equipment, construction materials and manpower during 2010.
Prior to completion of the temporary off-loading facility, construction equipment,

materials, and manpower will be delivered using a landing craft either at Gill Harbor or at the
temporary off-loading facility construction area. The commercial slip will require the entire first
year to construct so it is assumed that it will not be functional until 2011. It is currently expected
that 15 workers would be required for the entire construction season to complete this task.
The temporary housing and associated utility hook-ups is considered a high priority for
the project construction. It is expected that modular housing units will be delivered to the island
in sections and assembled between April 1 and June 30. A significant portion of this overall
construction effort will be the utility connections for power, potable water, and sewer. Power will
likely be above ground, however, potable water and sewer will likely be underground and will
require removal of bedrock. Also included in this task is construction of the helipad which would
allow another means of transportation to the island and a mean for emergency evacuation in case
of a medical emergency. URS assumed that this task would require 25 workers.
The power generation system and associated fuel storage system will provide power to
the island infrastructure. This system will consist of two generators connected to a diesel above
ground storage tanks system. It was assumed that this task would be completed between May 1
and August 31 and would require 15 workers.
As part of the conceptual design, URS assumed there would be a separate building to
house what was considered necessary support facilities including the cafeteria, infirmary,
commissary, laundry, and recreation area. Construction of this building would occur between
May 1 and August 31 and would require 15 workers. Also included in this task was an additional
five developer staff bringing the total to 10.
The proposed construction schedule calls for the pre-engineered metal building designed
to hold the O&M offices, potable water treatment system, wastewater treatment system, and fire
protection system to be completed between July 1 and September 30. It is currently anticipated
that this task will require 10 construction workers.
The potable water treatment, wastewater treatment, and fire protection systems will be
constructed between August 1 and October 31. After completion of this task, the temporary
housing, cafeteria, infirmary, laundry, and associated facilities will be fully operational with
power, potable water, fire protection and sewer. This task will include construction of the potable
water and fire protection water intakes and the wastewater treatment system effluent piping from
the proposed treatment plant location to approximately 400-feet into Lake Ontario. Also included
in the task is construction of the underground piping necessary for the potable water and fire
protection water distribution piping as well as the sewer piping connecting the various buildings
to these utility systems. It is anticipated that 20 workers will be required for this task.
It was assumed that the concrete batch plant would be constructed between September 1
and October 31. A total of 10 workers were allocated for this task.
A second pre-engineered designed for equipment and spare parts storage will be
constructed between October 1 and November 30. It was assumed that 10 workers would be
required for this task.
As indicated in Figure 5, the temporary housing and support facilities will not be totally
operational with utility service until October 31, 2010. This date may be moved up however, a
significant amount of construction work is required prior to these systems to be fully functional.
URS recommends that a detailed review of this proposed project schedule should be conducted
by a qualified construction manager or the designated construction contractor in order to identify
methods of moving this date earlier into the construction schedule.
Prior to October 31, 2010, management of potable water, sanitary waste, grey water, and
power generation will need to be handled much differently. Sanitary waste and grey water will
likely be stored in storage tanks and periodically transported off the island for proper disposal.
Bottled potable water and food supplies will be delivered periodically to the island and
refrigerated as necessary. Power will be through portable generators. It is assumed that for some
of the tasks listed above the workers will either live in the residential houses on Galloo Island or
they would commute to and from the island each work day by boat.
5.2
By the end of 2010, it is expected that the temporary housing and associated island
infrastructure is fully operational. Therefore, the number of workers that could live and work on
Galloo Island during the second construction season is increased. The temporary housing will
hold approximately 130 workers. Permanent housing construction is expected to be completed
during the second and third construction year.
The construction work planned for 2011 is primarily associated with wind farm
construction and will consist of the following projects:
The first permanent housing unit.
The majority of access roads and all of the staging areas.

-10-
The majority of wind turbine foundations.
Delivery of the majority of the wind turbine components.
The majority of the electrical collection system.
The majority of the substation.
The majority of turbine erection.
Based on the proposed schedule, the first permanent housing unit will be constructed
during the entire construction season. Due to the type of construction and the various amenities it
is likely that this building will require a dedicated staff of 20 from April 1 through November 30.
It is expected that this building will be occupied by the project developers staff during 2012.
It is anticipated that the majority of the project access roads will be completed during
2011. This work will require an estimated 20 workers.
Concurrently with the access road construction, it is expected that the majority of the
electrical collection system will be constructed during 2011.
This work will include both
underground trenching and overhead transmission lines. The underground trenching and setting
of utility poles will be complicated by the shallow bedrock located throughout the majority of the
island. It is estimated that this task would require 20 workers.
After some of the access roads have been constructed, the construction contractor will be
able to construct turbine foundations. Therefore, it was estimated that turbine foundations will be
constructed between June 1 and November 30 with the balance of the foundations to be
completed in 2012. A total of 20 workers was estimated for this task.
Substation construction work was scheduled from June 1 to November 30, 2011 and into
2012. A total of 15 workers were allocated for the substation construction task.
The turbine component delivery schedule will be affected by adverse weather as well as
the schedule for turbine foundations.
It is expected that the turbine components could be
delivered between May 1 and September 30 of each construction season. According to Figure 5,
some of the turbine foundations will be completed by July 1. Therefore, it is expected that
turbine components will be delivered between July 1 and September 30, with the remaining
components being delivered in 2012. Since the turbine component delivery task is primarily a
logistics task, only five workers were allocated.
Turbine erection will proceed once turbine components were delivered to the island. This
task is scheduled for July 1 and November 30 and will continue into 2012. A total of 15 workers
were assumed for this turbine erection.
5.3
By the end of 2011, it is expected that the majority of the wind farm has been
constructed. We expect that there will be a limited number of wind farm improvements that will
continue into 2012, however as indicated below, the staffing level is lower than for construction
year 2011.
The construction work planned for 2012 is primarily associated with wind farm
construction and will consist of the following projects:
The second permanent housing unit.
Complete access roads.
Complete wind turbine foundations.
Deliver the rest of the wind turbine components.
Complete the electrical collection system.
Complete the substation.
Substation start-up and testing.
Punch list work.
Wind farm commissioning.
Wind farm O&M.
Based on the proposed schedule, the second permanent housing unit will be constructed
during the entire construction season. Due to the type of construction and the various amenities it
is likely that this building will require a dedicated staff of 20 from April 1 through November 30.
It is anticipated that the remainder of the project access roads will be completed between
April 1 and May 30, 2012. This work will require an estimated 10 workers.
Based on the proposed project schedule, the remainder of the electrical collection system
will be completed between April 1 and July 31, 2012. It is estimated that this task would require
20 construction workers.
It is expected that the remainder of the turbine foundations will be completed between
April 1 and June 30, 2012. A total of 10 workers were estimated for this task.
The balance of turbine component delivery will be completed between May 1 and June
30, 2012. Since the turbine component delivery task is primarily a logistics task, only five
workers were allocated.
Turbine erection will be completed concurrently with turbine component delivery

(between May 1and June 30). A total of 10 workers were assumed for turbine erection.
Substation construction work was scheduled to be completed between April 1 and June
30, 2012. A total of 10 workers were allocated for the substation construction task. Following
construction, testing of the substation testing will be completed. It is expected that this task will
occur between July 1 and August 30, 2012 and will require 10 construction workers.
Punch list work is scheduled for between July 1 and August 30, 2012, however, this work
may be completed throughout the project. For planning purposes it was estimated that a total of
10 workers will be needed for this task.
Based on the project schedule, wind farm start-up and commissioning will take place
between September 1 and 30, 2012. The wind farm will be fully operational on October 1, 2012
and will be the beginning of the long-term O&M phase. This task will require 15 workers and
five developers oversight staff.

APPLICABLE AND RELEVANT STANDARDS FOR POTABLE WATER

TREATMENT, WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND FIRE
PROTECTION SYSTEMS
This section presents the applicable and relevant standards that will affect the selection,
operation, and maintenance of water, wastewater, and fire protection systems. The standards
discussed in this report are based on information gathered from the Town of Hounsfield,
Jefferson County, and the New York State Department of Health Watertown District located in
Watertown, New York.
6.1
Town of Hounsfield
A site plan must be prepared and submitted to the Town of Hounsfield for approval. The
site plan would show the location of all facilities to be constructed on Galloo Island including
buildings, wind turbines, roads, slip facilities, etc. In addition, utility equipment such as water
and wastewater facilities will be shown on the site plan documents. It is anticipated that the site
plan approval process will not significantly affect the selection, design, construction, or operation
of water treatment, wastewater treatment, or fire protection facilities. The Town of Hounsfield
does not have a building department and the administration and enforcement of the New York
State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (Building Code) is performed by Jefferson
County.
6.2
Jefferson County
URS spoke to Mr. Mike Keefe of the Jefferson County Fire Prevention and Building
Code Office (315-785-5130). Mr. Keefe indicated that a building permit would be necessary for
all structures erected on Galloo Island and the project would be expected to comply with all
applicable New York State building codes, New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH)
requirements, and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)
requirements.
He also indicated that the Jefferson County Department of Health does not
administer water or wastewater programs and therefore the NYSDOH and/or the NYSDEC would
oversee the permitting and operation of any potable water and/or wastewater treatment system.
Due to the remote location and relative inaccessibility of the project site, Mr. Keefe indicated that
the Island Owner would be responsible for providing transportation of county building officials to
and from Galloo Island to perform inspections during construction.
6.3
New York State Department of Health
URS spoke to Mr. Claude Curly of the NYSDOH Watertown District (315-785-2277)
regarding potable water and wastewater treatment facilities.
Mr. Curly indicated that the
NYSDOH would review and approve any proposed potable water system. The potable water
treatment system would be regulated as a public community system. Assuming that simple
filtration (no coagulation/sedimentation) is employed, followed by disinfection, the system would
require a Class C operator, which can be met by taking a 30-hour course and completion of six
months of on-site operation.
Assuming one of the Island Owners on-site personnel will
eventually become a licensed water treatment operator, until such time as the experience and
course requirements can be met, the Island Owner will likely have to contract with a licensed
operator to meet the operator certification requirements.
The regulations applicable to potable water treatment systems are contained in Part 5,
Subpart 5-1 of the Public Water Systems of the State Sanitary Code under NYCRR Title 10. In
the regulations there are extensive requirements for sampling and analysis, maximum
contaminant levels, operations, reporting, notification, etc; that will need to be complied with for
any potable water system serving Galloo Island.
NYSDOH regulations do not allow for different degrees of potable water treatment. Any
water used for washing or bathing purposes must meet the same standards as water for human
consumption (e.g., drinking and cooking). Therefore, a simplified treatment system that would
produce water suitable for showering but not necessarily drinking, would not meet this
requirement.
Mr. Curley spoke at length about the components of a typical small water treatment
plant treating Lake Ontario water.
These types of systems are numerous throughout the
Watertown District of the New York State Department of Health at campsites and other small
establishments. Listed below in no particular order are his comments:
A typical water treatment system uses microfiltration followed by disinfection. The

water quality in Lake Ontario, particularly in open waters is quite good; therefore there is
no need for chemical coagulant addition prior to filtration.
UV light disinfection followed by chlorination will meet all pathogen destruction

requirements.
Most water treatment plants using Lake Ontario water do not require taste and odor
control to control off taste/odor caused by algal blooms.
A typical water intake is located in 30 to 35 feet of water (depth) and employs a bored or
encased pipe within the first 10 vertical feet (near the shoreline) to protect the pipe from
ice damage.
A wet well structure is located on shore that employs submersible pumps to lift the water
to the water treatment plant.
The intake pipe should be equipped with a screen at the lake end of the pipe. The ability
to back pulse the screen with a high rate of flow should be provided to control marine
life (zebra mussels) and/or frazil ice (ice crystals resembling slush) that can tend to clog
the screen.
Chemical control for zebra mussels is not normally necessary so long as the ability to pig
the intake pipe is provided. A regularly scheduled pigging of the intake pipe should
maintain the capacity of the intake pipeline. If at some point in the future it becomes
necessary to prechlorinate the water as it enters the intake, it is recommended that a
dedicated small diameter pipe be provided to carry chlorine to the inlet point.
Mr. Curly recommended that the water intake pipe be located to the southwest of the
wastewater discharge point to prevent any potential for sanitary wastewater to enter the
water intake structure. Prevailing winds and currents move west to east.
Alloy intake screens are normally employed. The alloy material helps prevent marine
growth on the screen.
No mechanical screening is normally necessary as long as an intake screen is used.

WATER AND WASTEWATER USAGE

Water consumption during both the construction and O&M phases of the project will
occur in the following forms:
Human consumption (drinking water and cooking),
Bathing (shower and bath) facilities,
Hand sinks,
Toilets,
Kitchen facilities (food preparation and cleanup),
Other ancillary but minor uses.
Wastewater production during both the construction and O&M phases of the project will
occur in the following forms:
Bathing (shower and bath) facilities,
Hand sinks,
Toilets,
Kitchen facilities (food preparation and cleanup).
Table 2, Design Basis Information Water, Wastewater, and Fire Protection

Requirements, presents the design basis flows during the construction and O&M phases of the
project. The per capita water consumption and wastewater production estimates are based on
NYSDEC standards and with generally accepted practices.
Although this type of facility is not specifically listed in the design standards, similar
facilities include:
x
Apartments
75 gallons per day (gpd)/capita
Boarding house
75 gpd/capita
Factories 1
25 gpd/capita per shift
Dining (Catering/Banquet) 1
25 gpd/capita
1 -- Consumption would be added to residential consumption.

Given these typical design values, and the fact that the proposed facilities for Galloo
Island do not necessarily align perfectly with the types of facilities described in the standards, an
engineering judgment to use 100 gpd/capita was considered reasonable. Given the dormitory
style living during the construction phase, and the use of common bathroom and dining facilities,
water usage will tend to be on the low end of the scale. Therefore, adding the apartment, factory,
and dining consumption would tend to over predict water usage. Based on these calculations, 100
gpd per worker is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated actual water consumption.
Table 2 presents maximum daily values of water usage, which will occur during
maximum occupancy periods, and typical daily values, which will occur during typical
occupancy periods. In addition to typical daily and maximum daily values, there is expected to
be some peaking of water use and wastewater production during certain periods of the day. Early
morning and early evening will experience the highest peak flows, corresponding to workers
starting and finishing their workday. Water and wastewater facilities will need to be sized to
handle the maximum daily, as well as peak, flows that will result.
Water consumption and wastewater production are assumed to occur in the same
amounts. Therefore, potable water production needs and wastewater treatment needs are assumed
to be identical. There is no reason to allow for any extraneous wastewater flow into the system,
as all sewer facilities will be newly constructed using modern materials and there should not be
any leakage or infiltration. Similarly, for water distribution piping, leakage should not be an
issue.

POTABLE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
8.1
Basis of Design
URS has prepared this conceptual design of a potable water treatment system based on
the specific project requirements such as the number of workers or visitors, permit requirements,
and O&M considerations. The following key factors were considered to determine the basis of
the potable water treatment system design:
Number of people by project phase for the following project phases:

Slip construction phase.
Galloo Island infrastructure construction phase.
Wind farm construction phase.
Wind farm O&M phase.
Duration of each project phase.
Estimated potable water consumption by project phase.
The location of potable water treatment, wastewater treatment, and fire protection
facilities.
The applicable and relevant standards for design of the potable water treatment system.
Potable water treatment, storage, and distribution alternatives.
Distribution system alternatives.
Recommended alternative by project phase with planning level capital and annual O&M
costs.
Implementation considerations for the potable water treatment facilities.
Permit requirements.
System operator requirements (level of staffing, required certifications, etc.).
Space requirements.
Energy requirements.
Sequencing considerations.
Construction considerations.
-20-
Table 2 presents the design basis for the potable water facilities under consideration.
There will be two periods of operation: the construction phase and the O&M phase. The basis of
design for these two different operational periods is described below.
8.1.1
Construction Phase
As indicated in Section 5.0, it is anticipated that a maximum of 130 workers and visitors
will be present on Galloo Island at any time during the construction phase. For purposes of this
analysis we will use a maximum of 150 people. During this time period the maximum water
production requirement will be 15,000 gpd, which is derived from the maximum number of
workers multiplied by a consumption rate of 100 gpd/capita. The typical or average daily water
consumption was estimated from the typical number of workers on site (during the peak
construction period), which is expected to be 125 workers, resulting in a typical water
consumption rate of 12,500 gpd.
8.1.2
O&M Phase
During the operation and maintenance phase there will be a significantly less number of
workers on-site. The maximum number of people on Galloo Island during the O&M phase of the
project is estimated to be 50. During this time period, the maximum water production required is
5,000 gpd, which is derived from the maximum number of workers multiplied by a consumption
rate of 100 gpd/capita. The typical or average daily water consumption is estimated from the
typical number of workers on site, which is expected to be 25 workers, resulting in a typical water
consumption rate of 2,500 gpd.
8.2
Screening of Technologies
Because of its geographic location, there is an unlimited supply of clean Lake Ontario
source water within the immediate proximity of Galloo Island. Based upon practical experience
at numerous other municipal, private, commercial, and institutional facilities, Lake Ontario water
can be processed with relative ease to yield drinking water that is compliant with the applicable
New York State drinking water regulations.
Soil boring information for Galloo Island is not available at this time, but it is believed
that the island is underlain by solid bedrock (dolomite limestone).
It is unlikely that any
permeable strata (sand and gravel) will be encountered beneath the island that would yield
sufficient quantities of groundwater to meet the potable water and/or the fire flow requirements.
Any groundwater that is encountered would be present in rock pore spaces, and would likely be
considered to be under the influence of surface water. In this case, the groundwater would
require all of the treatment processes required for treatment of surface water such as Lake
Ontario. Therefore, there is no reason to consider installing groundwater wells to provide a
source for potable water and/or fire flow water. Moreover, with the need for fire protection being
considerably higher than the potable water requirement, a separate lake water intake would be
required for providing fire flow. For all of these reasons, Lake Ontario surface water was the
only source of potable water supply considered.
8.2.1
Option W1 Potable Water Microfiltration Plant
Successful potable water treatment will consist of filtration followed by disinfection.

Filtration would consist of a 0.1-micron microfiltration membrane system.
This type of
treatment system can be purchased off-the-shelf and set up relatively quickly. Disinfection can
be achieved with ultraviolet (UV) light followed by chlorine addition in order to achieve the
necessary disinfectant residual. The proposed water filtration plant would deliver potable water
throughout the living and work areas that would be suitable for any use. The potable water
system would not produce water for proposed fire protection as those requirements are discussed
in Section 10.0 of this report. In support of this type of potable water treatment plant, the
following ancillary facilities will be required.
Water Intake Structure and Pipeline
Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the water intake structure and pipeline that would be
constructed to draw Lake Ontario water from an offshore location. An offshore location is
necessary to avoid drawing turbid water that will occur as a result of wind, wave, or stormwater
runoff activity. In addition, an offshore location will not be subject to damage or interference
from floating or grounded ice. The recommended depth of the water intake is 30 feet below the
mean lake water level. The offshore distance necessary to achieve this depth is approximately
400 to 500 feet.
The water intake would consist of a 12-inch diameter pipeline extending out into the
lake. A single intake pipe would be used for potable water and for fire protection. A screen
would be installed on the end of the pipeline to prevent seaweed or fish from being drawn into
the pipe. The screen would be constructed of a metal alloy that is designed to resist biofouling
by zebra mussels or other nuisance plants or animals. The pipeline would be laid a few feet
above the bottom of the lake. The pipeline would extend along the bottom of the lake to a point
where it is approximately 10-feet below the mean lake water level. For the remaining distance
the pipe will either be buried and encased in concrete or would be installed in a horizontal
boring. The last 10 vertical feet of intake pipeline will be installed in a boring or buried and
encased in concrete to prevent freezing of the water in the pipe, and to prevent damage to the
pipe from the action of wind, waves, and ice.
The intake pipe would terminate in a wet well that is located on-shore. The bottom of
the intake wet well will extend approximately 10-feet below the invert of the intake pipe to
provide a sump for particles heavier than water to settle out and a reservoir from which to pump
water to back pulse the water screen. There will be an inlet isolation valve that allows closing
off the intake to allow maintenance to occur within the wet well. Provisions will be provided to
allow back pulsing of the intake screen using the fire flow pumps to reverse flow in the water
intake pipe. The reverse flow will be able to loosen any seaweed, ice, or zebra mussels from the
intake screen.
The intake wet well will be equipped with two submersible pumps to provide potable
water flow to the treatment plant and with two fire pumps to provide fire protection water to
Galloo Island. Redundant installed pumps will be provided for each function. All pumps will be
rail-mounted to allow servicing and maintenance of the pumps without having to perform a
confined space entry.
At the time of installation of the intake pipeline, a small diameter pipe will be installed
that extends from the wet well to the end of the water intake pipe to allow chemical dosing at the
intake, should it become necessary for zebra mussel control or other purposes such as taste and
odor control. It will be cost effective to install the pipe at this time rather than at a later date.
Two pipelines will be constructed to deliver water from the intake wet well to the fire
protection facilities (hydrants, sprinklers, etc.) and the potable water treatment plant. A 2-inch
diameter pipeline will feed the potable water filtration plant, while fire flow will be carried in a
10-inch diameter pipeline. The pipes will be installed below frost depth, which is assumed to be
5-feet to the top of the pipe.
Water Filtration Plant
Membrane filtration to 0.1-microns is very effective at meeting the surface water

treatment rules without the use of chemical coagulants. Two, 10 gpm (35,000 gallons per day,
each) package membrane filtration plants will be constructed. The filtration plant is sized for
greater than the maximum daily consumption to provide redundancy and to account for peak
demand periods (mornings and early evenings) when the workers will be using water at higher
than the average daily rate. Instantaneous consumption needs will be met both by the redundant
treatment system, but also by the finished water storage tank, which will hold approximately
15,000 gallons of water. The two filtration systems will be completely redundant, allowing one
system to be out of service and still meet the average daily water needs. Figure 7 illustrates a
schematic of the water filtration process.
The filtration plant will operate based upon level controls in the finished water storage
tank. As the level in the finished water storage tank drops, the potable water intake pumps will
cycle on and will pump water to the filtration plant. The raw water pumps will be sized to
overcome the necessary gravity head, plus the pipeline friction flosses, plus the head losses that
take place in the filtration system. This type of system will allow a single pump to draw lake
water and pump it through the filtration plant. A second set of pumps will draw water from the
finished water storage tank and deliver it to the potable water distribution system.
After the filters, the water will pass through an ultraviolet light closed tube disinfection
system. The UV disinfection system will be sized to accommodate the peak throughput of the
filtration plant (20 gpm) but will also have variable output so that during times of reduced flow
through the system, the UV system will not waste energy. Reduced flow might occur if a filter
bank is out of service, or in the long term, during the long term O&M phase the flow through the
system may be reduced to 5 to 10 gpm due to the significant reduction in the daily water demand.
Although UV is an excellent disinfectant, it does not provide a residual disinfectant, which is a
requirement so that bacterial regrowth does not take place within the water distribution system.
Chlorine is the most common disinfectant used for drinking water treatment and is proposed for
use on Galloo Island. Chlorine in the form of liquid sodium hypochlorite is readily available in
55-gallon drums and can be administered using a small metering pump.
Liquid sodium
hypochlorite is preferred to the use of chlorine gas, which presents unique health and safety
considerations due to its potential lethality if ingested or inhaled.
Flow metering will be provided to monitor the flow rate of water though the system.
This is a necessary record keeping requirement. In addition, the flow rate of water will be used
to automatically control the UV dosage and the chlorine dosage so that energy and chemicals are
not wasted.
During the construction phase, generators will provide power for the filter plant. In the
long-term O&M phase, power will be derived from the on-site power grid, which is fed by the
wind turbines. The power generation system described in this report will provide power to the
water filtration plant and pumps in the event of a disruption of power flow from the wind farm.
The entire package treatment plant including the raw water pumps, filtration equipment,
UV disinfection equipment, chlorine disinfection equipment, finished water storage tank, and
distribution system will be monitored and controlled by a fully automatic programmable logic
controller (PLC) based system that will alert the operator to any problems that develop in the
treatment equipment. This highly automated system can even be set up so it can be monitored
any where in the world via an Internet connection. This arrangement would be useful for
allowing the licensed facility operator to monitor the system from anywhere on the island, or
even at an offsite location. Such a system could also be set up to help schedule routine and
preventative maintenance based upon equipment run times, and or elapsed time.
Water Treatment Building
The potable water treatment system will be located in a pre-engineered metal

building along with the O&M offices, wastewater treatment system and fire protection system.
The overall building dimensions will be approximately 200-feet by 100-feet as illustrated in
Figure 3. The portion of this building where the potable water treatment system will occupy is
approximately 20-feet by 40-feet by 12-foot eave height and will include an office/control room.
The building will be heated and ventilated. The water treatment equipment will be skid mounted
and will be housed within the building. Figure 8 shows a plan view layout of the equipment
within the O&M building.
Finished Water Storage Tank
To meet the peak system flow demands and to satisfy the concentration and time
requirements of the disinfection regulations a finished water storage tank will be provided after
chlorination but prior to pumping into the distribution system. The tank will provide one days
worth of water storage and will hold approximately 15,000 gallons of water. The tank volume
will be large enough to allow short duration system shutdowns for maintenance purposes without
loosing the ability to deliver finished water to the users. The tank will have a continuous level
reading system that will tell the operator how much water is in the tank. The level reading will
also be used to start and stop the flow of water through the filtration plant.
Finished Water Pumps and Controls
Finished water will be pumped from the finished water storage tank and will be
delivered to the system users through a system of underground pipes.
The pumps will
automatically operate based upon pressure within the distribution system. As water is used,
system pressure will drop and the pumps will come on. A pressurized bladder tank or tanks will
be included to minimize pump cycling and to provide surge free water delivery throughout the
system. Depending upon the flow rate, the pumps can be variable speed to allow multiple
pumping rates. The entire system will be monitored and controlled by a system of pressure
sensors, flow meters, pumps, and variable frequency drives. The controls will all be connected
to the central PLC to provide overall system control and enable the system to operate unattended
for the most part.
8.3
Scalability
In moving from the construction mode to the long term O&M mode, the flows through
the system will be considerably reduced. Average potable water flows will drop from 12,500
gpd to approximately 2,500 gpd with maximum flows of 5,000 gpd. The highly automated
packaged water treatment system described above will be readily scalable to operate at the lower
flow rates.
The filtration equipment will be redundant and will consist of multiple filtration
modules. Taking redundant units off line, and/or reducing the number of modules on-line will
readily allow the filters to operate at a reduced rate during the O&M period.
The UV disinfection system will also be equipped with variable output technology that
allows the lamp intensity to be adjusted in proportion to the flow. Similar to the UV dosage, the
dosage of chlorine will be flow paced so it can be scaled back to the reduced flow rate during the
O&M period.
The finished water storage tank will be built as a series of manifolded tanks (2 or 3
compartments connected by a common manifold). Also, the tank capacity can be reduced by
isolating individual tank compartments and taking them out of service.
The only equipment that may require revisions in moving from the construction period to
the O&M period would be the raw water pumps and possibly the finished water pumps. These
pumps may require downsizing and/or switching impellers to provide a more efficient pump
operation.
8.4
Redundancy
Given the fact that the potable water treatment system must operate on an island that is
eight miles offshore and is only accessible by boat or helicopter, and will be inaccessible for
prolonged periods during the winter, redundancy and reliability are critical design
considerations.
During the construction phase, shipments of materials and supplies, including bulk
supplies, will be a daily occurrence except when adverse weather prohibits travel. Therefore
during construction, the water treatment system must be capable of operating without outside
parts or supplies for at most an estimated five-day period.
During the O&M period access will be by boat, plane, or helicopter on a routine basis
estimated to be at least weekly, weather permitting. During winter, plane/helicopter access will
be the only form of access to the island. Deliveries of heavy or bulky supplies that would
normally take place via boat will not take place during the winter. In addition, there may be
periods during the winter months where the island is completely inaccessible for several weeks at
a time due to snow, high winds, or poor visibility. It is critical that reliability and redundancy be
built into the system to ensure uninterrupted operation within these constraints. Redundant
filtration equipment will be constructed. As such there should always be one of the two systems
available for operation. A stock of spare parts (instruments, filter cartridges, washers, gaskets,
seals, etc.) will need to be maintained on the island to ensure minimal down time.
The UV system is relatively simple consisting of lights and ballasts. Spare lights and
ballasts will be maintained on-site to provide redundancy. In addition, as a further backup, the
chlorine system alone could be used as the sole disinfectant to treat the water in the event of a
failure of the UV system. Duplex chemical pumps will be provided for the chlorine feed pumps
along with spare parts and a spare pump to keep the pumps operational through prolonged
periods of limited access.
A dual processor PLC is recommended to provide fully redundant control of the system.
In the event one PLC fails, the backup PLC will automatically be activated. A battery backup
UPC will be provided to power the PLCs in the event of a power loss until emergency power can
be activated. The size of the water treatment system will be relatively small in terms of power
demand (100 amps). The power generation system discussed in this report and fueled by diesel
fuel will provide backup power for the entire water filtration plant and pumps.
8.5
Recommended Option
Only one option was considered given all the constraints imposed by the uniqueness of
the location and the regulatory process. Option W1 is recommended as the preferred potable
water treatment option. The option makes use of readily available off-the-shelf equipment that
has been proven effective.
Implementation of the system using technologically advanced
instruments and controllers will improve the overall system reliability and minimize operator
attention.
The system is a highly automated technologically advanced water filtration and

disinfection system with a completely redundant back-up unit provided. A smaller, simpler, less
automated system could be constructed at a reduced cost, if preferred by the project developer.
However, the degree of treatment provided, the ease of operation, and the degree of redundancy
would be less than optimal.
9.0
WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
9.1
Basis of Design
URS prepared a conceptual design of a wastewater treatment system based on the
specific project requirements such as the number of residents, permit requirements, O&M
considerations, and long-term treatment options. The following key factors have been utilized as
the basis of the wastewater system conceptual design:
Number of people by project phase for the following project phases:

Slip construction phase.
Galloo Island infrastructure construction phase.
Wind farm construction phase.
Wind farm O&M phase.
Duration of each project phase.
Estimate wastewater generation by project phase divided into grey water and sanitary
wastewater.
Identify the location of potable water treatment, wastewater treatment, and fire protection
facilities.
Determine applicable and relevant standards for wastewater (grey water versus sanitary
wastewater) systems.
Develop wastewater collection, storage, treatment, and disposal options.
Determine the recommended option by project phase with planning level capital and
annual O&M costs.
Determine implementation considerations for the wastewater treatment system.
Space requirements.
Sequencing.
Construction.
-30-
Table 2 presents the design basis assumptions for the proposed wastewater treatment
facilities.
As with the water treatment plant, there will be two periods of operation, the
construction phase, and the O&M phase.
9.1.1
Construction Phase
As many as 150 people will be working on Galloo Island during the construction phase.
During this time period the maximum wastewater production is estimated to be the same as the
water consumption (15,000 gpd). The average daily wastewater production is estimated from the
average number of workers on site (during the peak construction period), which is expected to be
125 workers, resulting in a typical wastewater production rate of 12,500 gpd. Separate flows are
presented in Table 2 for grey water and for sanitary wastewater for consideration purposes.
Based upon discussions with the NYSDEC it is not likely that any option to separately treat
sanitary wastewater and grey water would prove to be technically advantageous or cost effective.
9.1.2
O&M Phase
During the operation and maintenance phase there will be far less workers on-site. The
maximum number of people on site at any one time is estimated to be 50 people. During this
time period the maximum wastewater production is 5,000 gpd, which is equal to the potable
water consumption. The average daily wastewater production is estimated from the average
number of workers on site, which is expected to be 25 workers, resulting in a typical wastewater
production rate of 2,500 gpd.
9.2 Screening of Technologies
Only those wastewater options that technically can be implemented and are able to be
permitted were considered for evaluation. Options that would not be feasible for obtaining a
permit or otherwise unrealistic, were not considered. Unrealistic options included pumping the
wastewater via pipeline to shore, storing and transporting all wastewater to shore via boat, and
any option that included discharge of treated wastewater to groundwater. The last item was
omitted because of the extremely limited soil horizon and the proximity of rock to the ground
surface. After due consideration of these factors, three options were considered for wastewater
management. All three options require a point source discharge of treated wastewater to Lake
Ontario. One option was considered that would require hauling sanitary wastewater to the main
land for disposal. This last option was considered mainly as a reality check on the first two
options to make sure that hauling the wastewater to the mainland was not more cost effective than
constructing an onsite treatment and disposal system.
9.2.1
Option WW1 Intermittent Sand Filter
This proposed wastewater treatment system consists of a septic tank and intermittent sand
filter. The system is depicted schematically in Figure 9. Kitchen wastes would pass through a
grease trap to remove any floating oils or greases prior to discharging to the septic tank. All other
wastewater would flow directly to the septic tank. The septic tank capacity would be equal to
maximum daily system flow of 15,000 gallons. The septic tank would be compartmentalized,
with solids being retained in the first compartment. The water phase carries through to the next
compartment.
Water is discharged from the septic tank to the intermittent sand filtration system. The
intermittent sand filter would consist of sand filters similar to a leach field, the only exception
being that underlying the sand filter is another pipe that serves to collect all the flow after it has
passed through the filter. Underlying the collection pipe would be an impermeable membrane to
prevent any discharge to groundwater. The collected effluent is directed to a UV disinfection
system, where it is disinfected and discharged. In this type of system there typically are multiple
sand filters and they are fed intermittently.
A dosing tank or series of dosing tanks are used to ensure that the filters are intermittently
fed. Multiple filters are provided to allow individual filters to rest between dosing. The UV
disinfection system would consist of an open channel system that would vary the level of light
intensity based upon the flow through the system. Following UV disinfection the flow would
either be by gravity to the Lake Ontario outfall, or depending upon topography may need to be
pumped to the Lake Ontario outfall.
The grease trap would be sized in accordance with NYSDEC standards although an
attempt will be made to downsize the unit to a more reasonable 5,000 gallons. Current standards
dictate that a 10,000-gallon grease trap be supplied.
This type of treatment system is relatively simple to operate and maintain. The septic
tank and grease trap require approximately annual pumping. Option WW1 does not require a
licensed treatment plant operator. So long as no solids are discharged to the sand filters, the
filters should last for a significant period of time before service or maintenance is necessary. An
open sand filter (surface of sand is exposed to elements and is visible) was favored over a buried
sand filter because it can be cleaned and resurfaced in the event solids are accidentally discharged
to the surface. During winter months it may be necessary to cover or otherwise insulate the open
sand filters to prevent them from freezing. An open sand filter was selected in this evaluation,
although it is recommended during the detailed design phase that the design engineer evaluate the
merits of both open and buried systems to ensure that the optimal type of filter system is selected.
One potential issue with the open sand filter system is the possibility of odors being
generated. To minimize odors, recirculation can be employed, which should be considered
during the design phase. If recirculation were employed, it would be implemented by installing
duplex submersible pumps in the effluent collection manhole located at the discharge end of the
intermittent sand filter. The pump would deliver flow back to the first dosing tank.
Option WW2 Construct Engineered Treatment System
Option WW2 would consist of a more rigorous treatment system. Similar to Option
WW1, Option WW2 would include a septic tank and kitchen grease trap. Following the grease
trap and septic tank, an aerobic biological treatment system would be included such as:
Aeration tank followed by a clarifier,
Rotating biological contactor followed by a clarifier,
Sequencing batch reactor, or
Similar technology.
Following aerobic biological treatment and clarification, filtration would be employed to

remove any remaining solids. UV disinfection would be provided, followed by a point source
discharge to Lake Ontario. This type of engineered treatment plant, sometimes called a package
wastewater treatment plant, is considerably more complicated than the simple sand filtration
system described in Option WW1.
Option WW2 would require a licensed operator. Option WW2 would also produce a
higher quality effluent than Option WW1, but both systems will be capable of meeting permit
requirements. Option WW2 is more complicated to operate and monitor than Option WW1. A
schematic process flow diagram for Option WW2 is shown in Figure 10.
9.2.2
Option WW3 Dispose Grey Water On-site and Haul Wastewater to the Mainland
Grey water is the water generated from sinks and shower facilities and does not contain
any kitchen or toilet wastes. Approximately 75% of the total wastewater production is estimated
to be grey water, with the remainder being wastewater generated by toilet and kitchen facilities.
This option was initially conceived as a way of potentially reducing the capital cost of a
wastewater treatment system, because the treatment system theoretically would require less
capital investment.
However, following discussions with the NYSDEC and a review of
applicable standards it was determined that a grey water treatment system would require all the
same technologies as a full wastewater treatment system. In addition, the cost of hauling
sanitary wastewater to the mainland is very high. As a result, there are no cost benefits from
pursuing a separate grey water treatment system.
9.3
Scalability
In switching from the construction phase to the long term O&M phase, the flows through
the wastewater treatment system will be reduced considerably. Average flows will drop from
12,500 gpd to approximately 2,500 gpd with maximum flows of 5,000 gpd.
The grease trap and septic tank system will both function better with less flow. There
will be an added benefit that the septic tank pump out interval will decrease significantly (from
every year to approximately every 3 to 4 years) depending upon the actual flows received and
discharge permit requirements. The grease trap pump out interval similarly will increase, but
possibly to a lesser extent than the septic tank.
Comparing Options WW1 and WW2 under this reduced flow rate mode, Option WW1,
the intermittent sand filter, will respond better to the reduced flow rate. The intermittent sand
filter system will generally produce a higher quality effluent at a lower flow rate. There may also
be opportunities to recycle the effluent flow through the intermittent sand filter, which will
further enhance the effluent quality.
Option WW2, the engineered treatment system will be difficult to operate at a reduced
flow rate. Prolonged periods with no flow (overnight), may lead to operating problems with the
aerobic biological process. Careful monitoring will be necessary to ensure the viability of the
microbial organisms. This type of monitoring and operational adjustments may be beyond the
capability of staff employed to operate the treatment system.
9.4
Redundancy
As with the water treatment plant, redundancy and reliability are critical. Option WW1 is
a minimal maintenance option as there is not much that can go wrong with this system. The filter
will consist of four cells that will be an open-air design. There is redundancy in the number of
cells, and in the event a filter is accidentally loaded with solids, the surface can be allowed to dry,
and the solids accumulation can be scraped off and fresh sand replaced on the filter surface. At
the time of initial filter construction, extra sand will be purchased and left on-site so it is available
for re-dressing the filters if necessary at some point in the future. No other maintenance or
reliability issues are expected for Option WW1
Redundancy would not be provided in Option WW2 except for pumps. In that case, two
pumps would be provided in all pumping applications, with one pump normally required.
Redundant tanks would not be provided. Option WW2 would be more subject to mechanical
breakdown, as it will employ pumps, blowers, sensors, and other mechanical and electrical
equipment. As such a complete inventory of spare parts will be necessary to be maintained on
site. A licensed New York State Operator will be required to staff the plant.
The UV disinfection system is relatively simple consisting of lights and ballasts. Spare
lights and ballasts will be maintained on-site to provide redundancy.
From an overall redundancy and reliability standpoint, Option WW1 is favored over
Option WW2.
9.5
Recommended Option
Option WW1 is recommended as the preferred wastewater treatment option for the
following reasons:
Simplicity.
Proven track record.
Minimal operator attention required.
No operator licensing requirements.
Immediate scalability from the construction phase to the O&M phase.
Lower cost.
Option WW2 is seen as unnecessary, more expensive, and more complicated than Option
WW1. The only potential advantage that Option WW2 offers over Option WW1, is the potential
for slightly improved effluent quality.
However, all the other drawbacks to option WW2
(increased cost, increased operator attention, increased complexity, poor scalability, etc.) far
outweigh the one advantage.
10.0
FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
This section develops the design basis and presents options for providing fire protection
service throughout the construction and O&M phases of the project.
10.1
Basis of Design
URS prepared the fire protection system conceptual design based on the specific project
requirements such as the anticipated type of structures, code requirements, and the appropriate
level of redundancy. The following key factors were utilized as the basis of the fire protection
system:
Develop fire protection alternatives.
Determine fire protection design basis by area/structure.
Develop pump, piping, and storage options.
Determine recommended option by project phase with planning level capital and annual
O&M costs.
Determine implementation considerations for the fire protection system.
Space requirements.
Sequencing.
Construction.
It is assumed that a fire flow of 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm) will be required during
construction and the O&M phases of the project. Fire flow will be available in the area of the
O&M building, temporary housing and permanent housing but not throughout Galloo Island.
Final fire flow requirements will be established during the housing and facilities design phase of
the project. Even though the final fire flow totals may change somewhat, the expected magnitude
of capital and operation and maintenance costs should not be affected appreciably.
Fire flow will be provided by untreated Lake Ontario water and will be pumped through a
dedicated pipe. The use of the permanently installed intake and buried pipeline is the most
reliable way of providing fire flow that will not be affected by adverse weather or shoreline ice
conditions. Any option that requires deployment of hoses and pumps in the event of a fire would
not be reliable and would require too much time to deploy in an emergency situation. During
winter months it would be impossible to deploy hoses and pumps in any manner, let alone in a
timely manner. For these reasons, a permanently installed fire protection system was deemed
necessary.
10.2
Screening of Technologies
Only one option was considered for delivering the required fire protection, Option FP1.
Two (2) permanently installed submersible pumps each capable of delivering 100% of the
required flow will be located in the intake wet well. Two pumps will provide the necessary
redundancy. Water will be piped from the intake wet well located near the shoreline, to the
housing community area.
Fire hydrants will be provided in the vicinity of the housing
community to enable fire hose connections to be made. In addition, the pumped water system
will connect to a standpipe system that feeds sprinklers permanently installed in the structures.
Whether a dry or wet standpipe system is deployed will be determined during the design phase.
Special consideration of freezing conditions will be necessary if a wet standpipe system is used.
A 6-inch diameter pipe will be provided to deliver water to the housing community area.
The pipeline will be buried to prevent freezing and/or movement. The fire flow pumps will also
be used to enable back pulsing the intake screen. A system of pipes and valves will be provided
that will allow the fire flow pumps to deliver brief pulses of water to the intake pipeline using the
capacity of the intake wet well as a reservoir.
The fire protection system will consist of two pumps, emergency backup power, intake
wet well level controls, control valves, and building fire-monitoring systems. The actual design
of the sprinkler system would be done by the housing design engineer and/or by the installation
contractor (performance based contract).
The dry or wet standpipe fire protection system was preferred to the use of an elevated
storage tank for several reasons:
There is an unlimited supply of water close at hand.
Potable water will not be used for fire flow demand because the water treatment plant
capacity is limited.
Fire flow needs of 1,500 gpm for 90 minutes (typical code
requirement) would be approximately 135,000 gallons. The water treatment system is

incapable of producing this much flow or volume in a timely manner.
x
Construction of either an aboveground elevated tank or a below ground reservoir with

additional fire flow pumps would be more costly than using a pumped standpipe system.
Use of an elevated storage tank would also be problematic due to the likelihood that the
elevated tank would freeze in the winter months unless the tank was heating.
10.3
Recommended Option
Option FP1 is the recommended option for providing fire protection service to the
housing community portion of Galloo Island.
11.0
POWER GENERATION, DIESEL FUEL, AND PROPANE REQUIREMENTS

This section presents the assumptions and calculations that were prepared to estimate the
power generation, diesel fuel, and propane requirements for the project. Appendix A contains all
supporting calculations, assumptions, and reference materials used to for this estimate.
11.1
Power Generation Requirements
Electric power will be required both during the construction phase and during the longterm O&M phase of the project. During the construction phase the power generation system will
be the primary source of power for the construction work and will be supplemented with small
generators that the construction contractor will own and operate as needed. Once the project is
constructed and the wind farm is operational, power will be provided from the wind farm unless
the wind farm is not operating due to the absence of wind, problems either on Galloo Island or
with the portion of the project that is off the island. During these infrequent periods of the O&M
phase, power will be provided from the power generation system.
The power requirements during the construction phase are anticipated to include the
following facilities as illustrated in Figure 3:
Temporary housing for workers/visitors (4 modular buildings).
Permanent housing for workers/visitors (assume one 12-unit building will be operational
during the peak load period).
Cafeteria, infirmary, commissary, and recreation facilities.
Pre-engineered metal building containing O&M offices, potable water treatment system,
wastewater treatment system, and fire protection system.
Pre-engineered metal building used for equipment and spare parts storage.
Fuel storage systems.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required lighting on top of approximately 30

WTGs.
The power requirements during the O&M phase are anticipated to include the following
facilities as illustrated in Figure 3:
Permanent housing for workers/visitors.
Cafeteria, infirmary, commissary, and recreation facilities.
Pre-engineered metal building containing O&M offices, potable water treatment system,
wastewater treatment system, and fire protection system.
Pre-engineered metal building used for equipment and spare parts storage.
FAA required lighting on top of approximately 30 WTGs.
Appendix A contains the supporting calculations and assumptions used to determine the
size and number of the power generators recommended for the project.
The table on the
following page presents the estimated peak power generation requirements for the facilities listed
above. Except for the fire protection system, a 20 percent contingency factor was applied to the
estimated power loads to account for uncertainties and is standard practice for a conceptual level
design. As indicated in the calculations, URS recommends operation of two 350-kilowatt-hour
(Kwhr) diesel powered generators to generate the power required for the project. The generators
were sized such that both generators would be required to meet peak demand, however only one
generator would be needed to meet power requirements during majority of the project.
11.2
Diesel Fuel Requirements

Diesel fuel will be required for operation of the power generation system, the boilers
required to heat the buildings, as well as hot water systems. All but the pre-engineered metal
building to be used for equipment storage and spare parts will be heated with hot water or steam
boilers. Domestic hot water heating systems will be used for the cafeteria, two permanent
housing buildings, and four temporary housing buildings. The estimated quantity of diesel fuel
required for each of these uses is presented in Appendix A.

Notes:
* This is approximate continuous load for the potable water treatment storage building, no
contingency was added to the fire protection system since it is expected to be run very rarely.
** The O&M high bay building is only building, a cavernous space that is heated using fan
forced electric heat.
*** Contingency is only applied to the continuous loads, the fire protection system, which is
powered by two 150 horsepower electric motors does not have a contingency applied (total for
the Water Treatment/Stg./Office Building is 100 kwhrs for contingency).
The diesel fuel required for heating the buildings and for power generation varies from
month to month while the quantity required for hot water is assumed to be constant (550
gallons/month, see Table B-1 in Appendix A). The BTUs required for heating the building to a
constant 70 degrees Ferinheight was calculated based on the surface area of exposed building
envelope and an assumed overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.29 BTU/(hr x deg x square
footage). An assumed thermal efficiency of the heating equipment of 85 percent was utilized.
The diesel fuel useage was then calculated by dividing the effective BTUs required by the
number of BTUs per gallon of diesel fuel (142,600 BTU/gallon). This calculation was performed
for each month of the construction season and the total diesel fuel required for the construction
season was estimated to be 34,705 gallons. It is assumed that these buildings are winterized and
not heated between December 1 and March 31 each year of the construction season.
The diesel fuel required for power generation was calculated by multiplying the kilowatthours of power required for each month by the conversion of BTUs per kilowatt-hour and
dividing by the product of the BTU/gallon for diesel fuel and the efficiency of 32.1 percent). The
total diesel fuel required for power generation was calculated to be 85,141 gallons with the peak
month occurring in November (16,674 gallons).
The diesel fuel required for hot water was estimated to be 550 gallons per month for a
total of 4,400 gallons for the entire construction season.
The total diesel fuel requirement for the peak construction season was estimated to be
124,271 gallons. Sizing the aboveground storage tank requirements will be conducted in the
detailed design phase of the project. However, the diesel fuel required for the peak month of
November is 27,704 gallons. Assuming that delivery of diesel fuel could be accomplished at a
rate of once a week, a storage tank system of approximately 15,000-gallons would provide a
reasonable degree of contingency for this system given the location of the site. It should be noted
that the current conceptual design consists of separate diesel fuel storage systems for the power
generation system and for the heating and domestic hot water heating systems.
11.3
Propane Requirements
Propane will only be used to fuel cooking stove/ovens and clothes dryers. The BTU
requirements for these appliances were calculated based on the usage assumptions contained in
Appendix A. The total propane required to operate the appliances was calculated by dividing the
total BTUs required by the total BTUs/pound of propane (21,000 BTU/pound). The usage of
these appliance will be proportional to the number of workers on Galloo Island, however, for
purposes of this report, the maximum number of workers was assumed to be present during the
entire construction year. The monthly requirement for propane was estimated to be 5,460 pounds
and the annual requirement was estimated to be 43,680 pounds (no usage during the winter).
Assuming that delivery of propane could be accomplished at a rate of once a week, a storage tank
system of approximately 5,000-gallons would provide a reasonable degree of contingency for this
system given the location of the site.
12.0
TEMPORARY HOUSING
URS worked with representatives of Upstate New York Power Corporation and D.H.
Blattner and Sons, Inc. (construction contractors) to determine the type of housing that would be
functional, cost effective, and constructed in a reasonable time frame. Representatives from D.H.
Blattner and Sons recommended temporary trailer or modular style housing that could be shipped
to the island in manageable section and quickly assembled.
In addition, URS contacted ModSpace, Inc. of East Syracuse, New York to discuss the
temporary housing needs for the project. The following parameters were provided to ModSpace
in an effort to obtain a specification and cost quotation for temporary modular housing suitable
for this project:
Four structures suitable for housing a total of about 120 workers.
Each structures will satisfy all applicable building codes.
Each structure will have a boiler room, bathrooms and showers.
The structures need to be able to be constructed in a short duration and able to withstand
the weather encountered on Galloo Island.
The ModSpace proposal to URS tailored to satisfy the project needs for temporary
housing is presented in Appendix B. It should be noted that the temporary housing proposed by
ModSpace is suitable for identifying the power and heating requirements for the project as well as
associated costs. Modifications to this concept will likely occur during the detailed design phase
of the project and during further negotiations with the designated construction contractor prior to
construction. However, this temporary housing concept is suitable for this conceptual design
report.
Each proposed structure measures 66-feet by 168-feet and is comprised of 11 trailers or

sections. There will be approximately 30, 10-foot square rooms designated as sleeping quarters.
In addition, there will be separate bathrooms and showers for men and women. An HVAC room
will be used for the hot water tank and boiler which will utilize fuel oil. At this stage of the
design process it is anticipated that the temporary housing will not be heated between December
1 and March 31; rather the structures will be winterized.
Potable water will be provided by the potable water treament system discussed in this
report and a potable water distribution system to each temporary housing building. Wastewater
generated at the four buildings will be conveyed to the wastewater treatment system discussed in
this report. It is expected that the potable water treatment system and the wastewater treatment
system will be located within 20 feet of the temporary housing buildings.
12.1
Temporary Housing Capacity
As discussed in Section 5.0, List of Key Construction Tasks, the temporary housing
capacity was estimated to be approximately 130 workers at the peak of the construction effort.
The actual number of construction workers mobilized to Galloo Island will be determined by the
construction contractor and will govern the temporary housing capacity.
Therefore, the
discussion regarding temporary housing presented in this section will need to be adjusted after the
construction contractor has been procured to anticipate housing the actual work crews and
management.
12.2
Applicable and Relevant Standards

It is assumed that all H-module units will be constructed according to Jefferson County,
New York State, and applicable Federal codes and regulations. All modules will be single-level
style units. Temporary housing plans, specifications, and finished construction will comply with
applicable local, county, state and federal standards, codes, ordinances, and laws. The residential
buildings are characterized as modual temporary housing and will be one story in height. The
units will be ADA compliant.
12.3
Basis of Design
Based on direction from Upstate New York Power Corporation, URS proceeded with the
assumption that the temporary housing is to be constructed as modual housing that can be shipped
to Galloo Island in sections and quickly assembled. Other design options will be considered and
presented to the project developer during the detailed design phase of the project. The following
key factors were utilized as the basis for the housing design:
The number of workers and management required for the construction phase.
Applicable housing standards.
Four temporary housing units are required.
Quick build out and move in for immediate construction season.
Accommodations to include private bedrooms, common lavatory and showers, and a

mechanical room.
Potable water for ingestion, washing, showers will be obtained from the Jefferson County
permitted on-site potable water treatment facilities.
Hot water or steam boiler heating system power by diesel fuel.
Hot water from a diesel fired hot water tank.
No air conditioning and minimal power load.
Power supplied by power generation system located on Galloo Island.
Wastewater disposal to the on-island wastewater treatment system.
Communication systems as available.
Rapid removal of temporary structures when no longer needed without disturbing or

modification of permanent facilities.
No kitchen is provided in the living units since all people in the short-term and the longterm will have access to a common commercial kitchen for food services and dining.
Laundry, commissary services, daily activities rooms, and recreation areas in separate
structures, as shown in Figure 3.
13.0
PERMANENT HOUSING
The permanent housing is intended to house the O&M staff, O&M contractors and
visitors to the island during the long-term O&M phase of the project. The housing will be
condominium style and is intended to provide comfortable living quarters in an effort to off-set
the remote nature of Galloo Island. The capacity of the permanent housing is summarized below
and was based on discussions with Babcock and Brown Renewable Holdings (project developer)
based on experience gained with other wind energy projects. Each permanent housing unit will
have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining, laundry room, and a living room. Floor
plans for these structures are presented in Appendix C.
13.1
Permanent Housing Capacity

URS hosted a conference call with representatives of Babcock and Brown and Upstate
New York Power Corporation to determine the permanent housing capacity that will be required
for the O&M phase of the project. The permanent housing capacity was based on the full-time
core staff, O&M contractors, consultants, and visitors that would likely be required over the life
of the project. It was assumed that the temporary housing would not be available.
13.1.1 Full-Time Core Staff
Based on input from Babcock and Browns operations staff it is anticipated that the
following staff will be considered the full-time core staff during the long-term O&M phase of the
project:
Turbine Operation and Maintenance Staff - Estimated to be eight full time individuals onsite who will be responsible for the turbine operations.
Project Manager - Estimated to be one individual who will manage the wind power
project operations.
Logistics/Inventory Manager - This person would be responsible for coordination of

inventory, ordering, and shipping/receiving associated with all non-wind power project
operations.
-48-
Equipment Operator/Maintenance Staff - Estimated to be two full time individuals who

will be responsible for all non-wind power equipment operation and maintenance as well
as operation of equipment for any needs on the island.
It is assumed that this full-time core staff of 12 persons would work two weeks on and
two weeks off. It is further assumed that the 12 individuals would occupy six two bedroom
permanent housing units and would require their apartments locked and secured while they are
off the island. Therefore, another 12 individuals would require the same number of permanent
housing units to perform this work while original staff was on leave off on Galloo Island.
Therefore a total of 12 two bedroom permanent housing units will be required for the full-time
core staff.
13.1.2 O&M Contractor Staff, Consultants, and Other Visitors
Additional information obtained from Babcock and Browns operation staff indicated that
it is likely that the turbine supplier will perform O&M services for the first two years (warranty
period). This staff would consist of approximately 10 individuals. If the turbine supplier was not
contracted to perform this work, and during the period after the warranty expired, it is assumed
that a maximum of eight workers would perform the annual and semi-annual O&M tasks. The
O&M workers performing the annual and semi-annual O&M work would be on the island
between three to five weeks, twice a year.
It is difficult to estimate the number of consultants and visitors that will visit the island
for a wide variety of reasons. However, for purposes of this estimate, we have assumed that most
of these individuals could be scheduled around the wind power project O&M contractors. In this
scenario, up to 10 individuals would occupy the same housing as the 10 individuals who perform
the O&M work after they have left the island. In some cases, this optimum scheduling may not
be possible, so it is assumed that a total of four individuals may need to be on the island at the
same time as the turbine O&M staff.
Therefore, it is assumed that a total of 14 individuals will require housing over and above
the core staff. This equals seven additional two bedroom permanent housing units. It is assumed
-49-
that when these individuals work two weeks on and two weeks off, they take all of their property
with them or it is locked up in lockers. Using this approach, they will not be occupying
permanent housing units while they are off the island.
13.1.3 Contingency
Due to a variety of reasons, including adverse weather prohibiting transportation of staff

from the island, a permanent housing contingency has been included in this estimate. The
estimated permanent housing required for the full-time core staff, O&M contractors, consultants,
and visitors as outlined above is 19 two bedroom permanent housing units. A 20 percent
contingency has been used which is equal to 3.8 units. Therefore, the estimated total housing
requirement is 22.8 units or 23 two bedroom units. The proposed permanent housing for Galloo
Island is two 12-unit buildings.
13.2
Applicable and Relevant Standards
Permanent housing plans, specifications, and finished construction will comply with
applicable local, county, state and federal standards, codes, ordinances, and laws. The residential
buildings are classified as R2 type (apartments) and built as 5A or 5B construction type (wood
structure). The units will be two to three stories in height. Handicapped accessible units will be
at the lowest ground level of the building. No elevators are planned.
13.3
Basis of Design
Based on direction from Upstate New York Power Corporation, URS proceeded with the
assumption that the permanent housing is to be constructed as condominium style. Other design
options will be considered and presented to the project developer during the detailed design phase
of the project. The following key factors were utilized as the basis for the housing design:
The number of workers expected to become long-term residents.
The number of contractors and visitors that will require temporary housing.
Applicable housing standards.
-50-
Twenty-four (24) permanent housing units are required, each consisting of two
bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a laundry, storage area,
and patio or deck.
Build out to maximize efficiency of land use and natural resources, maximize view, and
provide good proximity to work areas and on-island amenities.
Structures to be normal 2 by 6 inch wall stud construction with a wood truss roof
structure, wood floor joists, and steel structure for support. Additional features will
include: Thermopane glass, wood-clad windows, metal insulated doors, siding and/or
brick veneer, heavy duty asphalt or metal roofing.
Housing is to be built as permanent structures (50+ year design) and able to withstand
harsh weather conditions with minimal maintenance. Considering replacement values
and the island location, it is in the best interest of the project to use higher end materials
to minimize replacement costs and extend the useful life of the structures.
Water from the on site potable water treatment facilities.
The buildings will utilize hot water or steam boilers for heating. The boilers will use
diesel fuel during the construction phase but may be converted to propane for the longterm O&M phase of the project. There may be a long-term option for geothermal heating
and cooling.
Power will be supplied to the buildings from the power generation system during the
construction phase of the project. Once the project is constructed and operational, the
primary source of power will be the proposed wind farm. The back-up power source will
be the power generation system.
Wastewater disposal from the buildings will be to the wastewater treatment system on the
island. Consideration during the design process will be given to the long-term option of
using a leach field or engineered wetland system.
Communication systems as available.

Hounsfield Wind Farm

Estimate of Power, Diesel Fuel, and Propane Requirements
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this calculation is to estimate the quantities
of diesel fuel, propane (or LP equivalent), and electricity
that will likely be required during the construction of the
Hounsfield Wind Farm Project. The information developed here
is preliminary, and is intended to allow the Project Team a
reasonable understanding or these requirements and to size
the power generators required.
Optimization of this
conceptual design and final energy system design will be
bases on this report.
B. SUMMARY
The calculations included herein are summarized below, and
are covered in Table B-1 entitled Construction Season Energy
Requirements. The key construction season energy users and
electric generator capacities are summarized in the tables

See Note below
Long term generator operation at greater than 70% of rated capacity is not
recommended. Total generator capacity including fire protection pumps is
651 KWHr. However, smaller generator capacities can be recommended and
still meet the needs of continuous electrical users, and fire protection,
providing each generator is sized for 0.5 of the continuous load, and run
at no more than 70% of rating. For instance, the continuous load on the
generators was calculated to be 232 KWHr each at peak rating, and 332 KWHr
each by limiting continuous operation to 70% of the unit rating. Since on
standby status the generators can be operated at their peak rating for a
brief period say, 1 2 hours operating the generators for the 1.5 hours
required by the fire protection system would not likely damage the
generators. Table B-1 entitled, Construction Season Energy
Requirements, shows that with all connected loads running, including the
fire protection system, with no contingency would require 574 KWHr, and
the combined capacity of the two units would be likely around 700KW (350
KW-each).
C. GENERAL
The calculations are organized and totalized by energy
sources expected to be used at the site during the
construction process: 1. Diesel Fuel also called diesel fuel
(these terms refer to the same item, and may be used
interchangeably, the heating value of this fuel is given on
page 330, 3rd Edition of the Pocket Ref, page 330, and
142,600 BTU/lb); 2. Propane (varies between 21,670 and 19,944
BTU/lb, the author uses 21,000 BTU/lb, Marks Mech Handbook,
Eighth Edition, Pg. 4-54, Table 44; and Electricity, KWHr
(unless specified otherwise.
A few, partial winterization related calculations are
included as a reminder that this issue should be considered
during the next phase of construction design, and for long

term operational design of the facilities.

There are two levels of assumptions used for these
calculations: 1. Assumptions related to the entire site; and
2. Assumptions related to the specific energy type. A third
category relates to the specific calculations. Explanations,
which may not be obvious by looking at the spreadsheet, and
example calculations showing units, and actual numbers, are
also provided. Assumptions are listed in this section, and
calculation clarifications are included below.
1.
Sitewide or Multi-Building Assumptions:

x For the most part, unless stated differently in the
specific calculation, these calculations are only for
the construction period, which is estimated to be three
years.
x With the exception of the Butler Building used for
equipment storage, electricity is not used for space
heating.
x Diesel fuel is to be used for hot water or steam based
space heating and powering the electric generators.
x One permanent housing facility will be built during
year 2, and be available during year three. For these
calculations a single three-story unit is assumed
capable of housing up to 24 persons. During the entire
construction period, it is assumed that no living
quarters, including the permanent housing facilities,
will be equipped with air conditioning, individual
laundry facilities, individual cooking facilities or
individual appliances.
x Diesel fuel fired, hot water or steam boilers will be
used to distribute steam for space heating, and for hot
water make (specific details of these systems will be
developed during the detailed design). Temperature is
assumed to be controlled by thermostatically controlled
radiators to: Four (4) Temporary housing units, one
permanent housing building, a Butler Building housing
the O&M office and utilities; and the cafeteria,
infirmary, commissary, laundry and recreation building.
x Propane will only be used in the kitchen for cooking
and for the laundry dryers.

x With the exception of the small infirmary, no air

conditioning will be provided at the site.
x It is assumed that no electricity will be available
from the wind energy facility during the construction
phase, and it is further assumed that no electricity
from the mainland will be available during the
construction period.
x Fuel used for construction activities (excavation, site
work, transportation, etc.) is not included in these
calculations.
x It is assumed that facilities to house 130 persons at
the site were completed in year one, and that all 130
persons will report to the site on April 1, of the
second construction year.
2.
Specific Assumptions:
x Diesel fuel storage facilities will be equipped with
one or more pumps, and control systems to distribute
diesel fuel to: temporary housing, permanent housing,
cafeteria/recreation building, power generators, and
O&M building.
x Diesel fuel distribution piping will be equipped with
insulation
and
thermostatically
controlled
heat
tracing, assumed to be electrical to maintain flow
during cold weather conditions.
x Electricity, FAA requirements, calculation assumes for
night time lighting only, 12 hours/day, 0.6 KWHr/each,
for approximately 24 of the 84 wind turbine generators
require lighting. See Development of Obstruction
Lighting Standards for Wind Turbine Farms, J. W.
Patterson, Jr., Nov 2005, FAA.
Some applications
require 24-hrs/day lighting.
Clarifications and Additional Details of Diesel Calculations:

Direct fired is where diesel fuel is burned to heat a medium such
as air or water, and then the heated medium is used for heating
purposes such as hot water or space heating.
A non-direct fired use is where the diesel fuel is converted to

another form of energy, such as electricity. Electricity can be

used for heating, but it can be used for many other things such
as cooling, running motors, running electronics, etc.
Difference from monthly mean temperature to 70 F: See Reference
Section, for climate data downloaded from Internet.
Exposed surface area of building was calculated by adding floor
area (FA), ceiling area (CA), and perimeter areas (PAs), Total
Exposed Area = FA + CA + PAs = SF total area.
Overall structure heat transfer coefficient.
See Reference
Section, Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 8th
Edition, pg 12-64, Table 2. Value = 29 BTU/(Hr)(ft2)(Deg F).
Days/Month - Between April and November, four months have 30 days
(Apr, Jun, Sep, Nov), and the rest have 31 days for an average of
30.5 days/mo.
Space heating losses in BTU are calculated as follows:
T (inside outside temperatures) x exposure area (SF) x overall
heat transfer coefficient, BTU/[(Hr)(TF) (SF)], = BTU/Hr
Example: Calculation Q=A x T x Uo with A = 58,000 SF, T = 24
F, Uo = .29 then Q = 58,000 SF x 24 x 0.29 = 403,680 BTU/hr.
For boiler thermal efficiency 85% was used as estimated thermal
efficiency, Federal energy management gives peak boiler thermal
efficiencies varying between 84% and 85%.
Space heating, allowing for efficiency loss, in BTU is calculated
as follows:
(delta T, inside - outside) x exposure area x overall heat
transfer coefficient/efficiency x 24 hrs/day x 30.5 days/mo.
Example: Calculation 24 deg Delta T x 187,080 SF x 0.29 x 24 x
30.5/85% = 1,121,317,882 BTU (for April).

Total gallons diesel fuel for April electric generation = 14,089
gallons (see bottom of April column in table).
Total gallons of diesel fuel used during the second and later
construction years is estimated by summing lines in the table for
direct fired diesel use (7,860 gallons), Hot water diesel fuel
use (550 gallons), and Diesel for electric generation (14,089
gallons) = 22,499 gallons of diesel for April.
Clarifications and Additional Details of Propane Calculations:
Cooking stoves and ovens: assumed six 4-burner stoves with ovens,
propane fired, on 6 hours/day.
Six ovens 24,000 BTU/hr, stove
burners are 18,000 BTU/hr each (professional stove).
Propane gas use calculation: BTU/Month = 6 stoves x 4 burners
each x 18,000 BTU/burner + 6 ovens x 24,000 BTU/Oven x 6 hrs/day
x 30.5 day/mo. Propane use BTU/Month = ((6 x 4 x 18000) + (6 x
24000)) x 6 x 30.5 = 105,408,000 BTU/month.
Convert
BTU/month

calculation = total cooking BTU/month/21,000 BTU/pounds-propane
= (105,408,000 BTU/month)/21,000 BTU/pounds-propane = about 5,000
pounds/month.
Calculate BTU equivalent of 2.75 KWHrs used for drying = 2.75
KWHr/load x 3,512.3 BTU/KWHr. = 9,383 BTU/Dryer-Load
Calculate monthly BTU load from dryers: 120 persons, 2

Total expected propane use:
Add propane for cooking (5,000
pounds/month) and propane for clothes drying (460 pounds/month)
= 5,460 pounds-propane/month for April.
Clarifications and Additional Details of Electric Calculations:
Sizing of generators is based on full connected load.
Major
loads are potable water treatment, 50 Hp; wastewater treatment,
50 Hp; fire protection 250 Hp (.746 x 250 = 186 KWHr/hr); and
lighting (about 1.3 watt/SF x 100 x 200 (SF) = 26 KWHr/hr).
Calculation: (350 Hp connected load x 0.746 KWHr/hp + 26 KWHr) =
287 KWHr/Hr.
Continuous Load is expected to be 2-50 hp pumps, plus lighting
(1.3 KWHr/SF x 20,000 SF = 26 KWHr).
Assumes on-stream factor
12 hrs/day.
Calculation for continuous loads, which excludes fire protection
pump activity (the fire protection pumps will only be on for
weekly and annual tests, and in the unlikely event there is a
fire requiring fire protection activation): 0.5 (on-stream
factor) x (2 pumps x 50 hp/pump x 0.746 KWHr/Hp) + 26 KWHr
(lighting) x 24 hrs/day x 30.5 days/mo.= 36,820 KWHr.
For generator design, assume the generator has to meet full
connected load under normal conditions, (excludes firewater
protection activation which is discussed above). The normal load
exclusive of fire protection pumps consists of 2 pumps x 50
hp/pump x 0.746 KWHr/hp + 26 KWHr lighting load = 100.6 KWHr.
Usage is expected to average 12 hrs/day, but during these
normal operations the full 100.6 KWHr will likely be used.
For purposes of generator sizing, assume that laundry is only
done on week days, and only during the 12 hour off shift time.
Calculation: It has been assumed that one motor load, and some
electrical load is used for operating the timing mechanisms for a
total of 0.5 KW. Calculation is based on weeks, 4.3 weeks/month
x 260 loads/week (130 people, 2 loads/person per week) at 0.5

Total KWHr-washing/month = 260 loads/week
weeks/month x 0.5 KWHr/load = about 559 KWHr/month.
4.3
During first pass for utilities effect on laundry driers,

literature search showed about 3.5 KWHr/dryer load.
Since
propane is used on site, the electrical portion of the drying
process is broken out here, and the heat for drying load is
calculated under propane usage.
It has been assumed that two
motor loads are used, 1. blower, 0.5 KW/load; and 2. drum
rotation & operating the timing mechanisms, 0.25 KWHr/load.
Calculation is based on weeks: 4.3 weeks/month x 260 loads/week
(130 people, 2 loads/person per week) x 0.75 KWHr/load.
Total
KWHr-drying/month = 260 x 4.3 x 0.75 KWHr/load = about 839
KWHr/month.
Refrigeration is based on thirty 16 ft3 units, each using .725
KWHr/unit (Reference Internet:
http://oru.com/energyandsafety/energyefficiency/calculatingenergy
use.html). Calculation: 0.725 KWHr/unit x 30 units x 24 hr/day x
30.5 days/month = 15,900 KWHr/month.
This calculation is
assumes individuals
Lighting .1 KWHr;
miscellaneous usages
for workers living in temporary housing and

have a 0.5 KWHr/hr budget for 6 hours/day:
Computer .12 KWHr; Radio .1 KWHr; and
0.18 KWHr for a total of .5 KWHr/hr-person.
Total electric power for workers under this category is: 0.5 x 6
hours/day x 130 persons x 30.5 days/month = 11,895 KWHr/month.
This calculation estimates the total power required for FAA
lighting (see references for FAA report entitled, "Development of
Obstruction Lighting Standards for Wind Turbine Farms", J.
Patterson, Jr. 11/2005, DOT/FAA/AR-TN05/50, available through
NTIS, Springfield, VA, 22161). Calculation: 0.6 KWHr x 12 hr/day
x 30.5 days/month = about 220 KWHr/month
This calculation is for workers living in permanent housing and
assumes 24 persons occupancy. Calculation: 24
persons
x
.8
KWHr/person x 8 hours/day x 30.5 days/month = 24 x .8 x 8 x 30.5
= about 4,680 KWHr/month.
In April the mean monthly temperature is 46F, about 24 degrees
lower than the comfort setting, assumed at 70F. (see reference
section for mean monthly climate data).

Calculation of building surface area for heat loss calculation,

which is based on floor and ceiling areas, perimeter areas, all
in SF, and added together.
Estimated building dimensions are
200' L x 100' W x 30' H.
Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient: 29 BTU (H)(ft2)(Deg F) (see
reference section, Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical
Engineers, 8th Edition, pg 12-64, Table 2).
Given that monthly temperature is based on mean temperature, it
is reasonable to assume the temperature is always at mean value,
which makes calculation easier, and normally wouldnt be expected
to introduce significant errors.
Between April and November four months have 30 days (Apr, Jun,
Sep, Nov) and the rest 31 days for an average of 30.5 days/month.
Heat losses, as a function of temperature are calculated on the
basis of Q = Uo x A x Del-T (deg F). Q in BTU/hr heat loss, Uo
is the heat transfer coefficient in BTU/hr-deg-F-del-T.
Example heat loss calculation: 24F x 58,000 SF x 0.29 x 24
hours/day x 30.5 days/month = about 295,493,800 BTU/month.
Fuel use divides the total heat loss for the equipment storage
building by 142,600 BTU/gallon (see reference section, "Pocket
Ref, 3rd edition, T. J. Glover, Pg 330, 2003, Sequoia
Publishing), for this line item, efficiency of conversion to
electrical equivalent of BTU to KWHr, is assumed to be 100%. In
a resistance heater that is indeed the case.
Calculation:
(295,493,800 BTU/month)/142,600 BTU/gallon = 2,072 gallons.
However, when converting from diesel fuel to KWHr with a
generator the actual thermal efficiency is somewhere between 30 &
40 percent. The 32.1% efficiency used below was calculated from
Kohler's generator technical description.
Calculated the diesel fuel required using the generator thermal
efficiency. Calculation: 2,072 gallons/32.1% = 6,455 gallons.

For the infirmary, it should be noted that it is assumed that air
conditioning will be required part time during July, August, and
September.
Total electric usage is calculated by summing all nine electric
users listed on the table that show usage in KWHr units.
A case can be made for not including fire protection pump
operation in the 20% contingency factor applied to the
generators.
The fire protection will be operated only for
testing and extremely rare emergencies. We have assumed that the
250 Hp applied to the fire protection system will not need to be
changed, and as result no extra contingency was added to the
generator to support additional fire protection needs.
Electrical use for April = 189,015 KWHr, requiring 14,089 gallons
of diesel fuel.
