Box 324 Wappingers Falls,New York 12590 Attention: Han. Joseph.Ruggiero, Supervisor Reference: Applesauce Lane Pond Aerators Dear Supervisor Ruggiero &Board Members: On May 25th, 2004, Steve Ho of Aquatic Management Services was at Applesauce Lane Pond to install the aerators. During the installation a few problems arouse with the anchor systems. Typically, when the aerator is removed from the pond,the stainless steel anchor cables are removed from the aerator and attached to floats,which keep the anchor cables at the surface. When Mr. Ho went to reinstall the first aerator at the southern end of the pond, the floats were not visible and the cables were at the bottom of the pond. He then dragged the bottom of the pond with a rake and finally recovered the two anchor cables. He also retrieved the floats used to suspend the cables and informed me that they had been cut. Mr. Bill Avon, a resident of Applesauce Lane, informed us that one of the residents using a snow blower to clear the ice for ice. skating may have cut the floats. Mr. Ho indicated that in the fall when the aerators are removed,the cables can be suspended by the floats under the surface of the water by adjusting the connecting cables from.the floats. This will keep the floats under the surface of the ice and out of harms way. Once this aerator was in place, the power was turned on, and the aerator was functioning properly. .He then proceeded to.start the installation of the aerator on the north end of the pond. The same problem occurred at that end of the pond. Unfortunately, due to the deeper depth at this end of the pond, he was unable to dredge the bottom and retrieve the anchor cables. He did not have an extra stainless steel anchor system with him so the northern aerator was not installed. Joseph E.Paggi,Jr.,P.E. Ernst Martin,Jr.,P.E,L.S. Charles R.Del Bene,Jr.,P.E. Hon, Joseph Ruggiero - 2 - June 11, 2004 RE: Applesauce Pond Aerators I On May 271h, 2004, Mr. Ho returned to the pond, assembled a new stainless steel anchoring system, and installed the northern aerator. The power was turned on and the aerator was operating properly. We have attached the Town voucher from Aquatic Management Services for your review and subsequent payment. As you can see on the voucher, the original proposal for the installation of the two aerators with the discount was $450.00. The additional cost for the materials and labor for new anchor system for the north aerator was $250,00, resulting in the total of$700.00.

They advised us that lead-times are dependent on what time of the season and the amount of orders they receive. However, they indicated that a 1-2 week period would be a good estimate. We looked at the schedule for the project in two ways. The first was bidding the entire project, including the aerator units. The other was to go out to informal bid for the aerators and then bid the installation and electrical hookup only. With the estimated cost of the two units being approximately $9,000.00, we thought the Town could send out Request for Proposals (RFP) to purchase the units and save the 1 —2 week lead time. This would also allow the installation to start immediately after the contract signing because the aerators would be in hand. We based our schedule on the Town Board's authorization being granted at the June 23rd, 2003 Town Board meeting. If this was the case, the RFP's for the aeration units could be sent out to the manufacturers within 1-2 days. However, with a holiday on July 4 , 2003 and the Town Board meeting on July 7'h, 2003, this would leave only five (5)working days for the manufacturers to submit their proposals. If we could work the RFP's into the July 7"' Board meeting and the Town accepts a proposal, we could have the units by the 3rd week of July. We could advertise for bids for the installation as early as July 2nd, 2003, however, the contract could not be awarded until the Town Board meeting on August 1 sty 2003.

Joseph Ruggiero - 2- June 12, 2003 RE: Applesauce Lane Pond With the award on August 18th, 2003, the contract signing most likely would take place during the week of August 25t; 2003. The installation could take 2 weeks due to the required Underwriters electrical inspection and Central Hudson's work,thereby taking us into the second week of September 2003.

Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Hon. Joseph Ruggiero Reference: Applesauce Lane Pond Dear Supervisor Ruggiero &Board Members: At the request of the Board,this office contacted Stephen Ho, Aquatic Biologist who prepared a proposal for the residents the above referenced location. During our conversation, we discovered that Mr.Ho has been working with the residents of this area in trying to manage this pond for the last 8 to .10 years. When he was first contacted by the residents of this area, he indicated he-initiated a non-chemical management program for the pond, which continues today. Mr. Ho then went on to say that the fish kill that has occurred was a result of the drought conditions and a lack of oxygen in the water throughout the pond. Based on past successful pond aeration projects, he feels that this treatment would enhance the pond environment. We then went onto discuss the proposed number of units and the size of the aeration motors. Mr.Ho indicated that due to the size of the pond and its configuration, he felt that 3 units would due the best job. The reason for this is that the aerators have only a certain radial distance where.they can effectively circulate the water. We explained to him that our recommendation would be to initially use 2 units instead of 3. He said that with 2 units there maybe sections of the pond which receive little or no circulation of the water. The reasons for the 2 hp. Motors instead.of 1 hp. motors are that the 1 hp. motor has a tendency to breakdown from overworking and the 2 hp. motor is built better. Lastly, we discussed the electrical costs associated with running two (2) aerators. Mr: Ho indicated that the aerators typically run anywhere from 16 to 18 hours a day. The following calculations are based-on a motor efficiency of 60% and approximately 100 watts per motor running amp, The 2 hp. motors use approximately 13.2 amps. - Joseph E.Paggi,Jr.,P.E. Ernst Martin,Jr.,PE.,L.S. Charles R.Del Bene,Jr.,EE. Town of Wappinger Town Board -2- October 2,-2002 Re: Applesauce Lane Pond ■ 2 hp.=1,500 watts .6 (60%) =2,500 watts v 2,500 watts x 18 hrs. 1,000 45 kilowatt hours (kwh) ■ 45 kwh x$ 0.-15/kwh= $6.75/Day per 2 hp. motor Two 2 hp. Units= $ 13.50/Day ■ $13.50/Day x 242 days (8 months) = $3,300.00 for 8 months The electrical hookup, consisting of a 230 volt single phase service, will have to be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code, as well as, Local Building Codes and inspected. Therefore,.this office would recommend that two of the proposed aerators be initially purchased for the pond and if sometime in the future a third unit is warranted then the Town Board can decide how to proceed.
