NYS Office of General Services – ISI Intake Screens, Inc.

This 142 cfs (92 MGD, 14,511 m3/h) cooling water intake is located in Albany, NY and provides water to both heat and cool buildings owned and operated by the state of New York. The facility was required to install 0.75-mm slot size wedgewire screens with a through-screen velocity of no more than 0.5 fps (15 cm/s) to reduce both entrainment and impingement in accordance with NYS Commissioner Policy #52. Fish species offered protection by this screening system include river herring (Alewife and Blueback Herring), Atlantic Sturgeon, Shortnose Sturgeon, and tens of other anadromous, catadromous, and resident Hudson River fish species. This project is to be fabricated in 2021 and installed in 2022 and this page will be updated as the project progresses.

The big project in the Corning Preserve and how it will help protect the ecology and fishery of the river.

Weather Update – April 19, 2022

We got a few inches of snow but it won’t last 🌧

46 degrees later today, is a reminder that is still middle-to-late April. Not warm, but nothing is going to preserve the snow, as the low tonight is a chilly 36 degrees but that’s still well above freezing. 51 degrees with sun but blustery tomorrow, which will attack the snow in multiple ways and get things looking like spring quickly. The weekend is looking pretty good, although I don’t think I’ll be able to get out of town this weekend.

Daily Update – April 19, 2022

Good morning! Happy Sloppy Tuesday. 🌨

I was brave and probably crazy, and decided to tromp through the wet snow and slush to the express bus. But not stupid, I brought extra socks and wore my muzzle, doing my morning walk in the Empire Plaza rather then out in the flop. It’s warming up fast though and by lunch time, things should be free of snow and slush on the sidewalks, so hopefully I’ll get my 10,000 steps in for the day.

Wet snow and 36 degrees in Albany, NY. 🌨 There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. There are 3 inches of wet sloppy snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at Thursday around 1 am. ☃️

Yesterday was a Monday, and it was super quiet at work 🤫 so I probably should have taken the day off and made the best of the nice weather while it lasted. But I was afraid if I took the day off, I would have spent it just lounging around, doing nothing all day. Instead, I went to work and got my steps in for the day. So that was good.

And I even went for an evening walk, 🌧 beating the rain. I did have to close my windows when I got home, knowing how cold i would get during the night, but no heat needed and I’m sure in the day or to they’ll be back open again. I don’t expect the snow to last long today, indeed it’s already melting quickly around here.
