Dear Supervisor Smith:
On Wednesday, April 14, 1993, Michael Tremper, Graham Foster and
myself visited Wappinger Park to inspect a storm drain that was being
replaced by the Highway Department.
The storm drain runs between 5 r 7 Cayuga Drivq
and has clogged over
the years. The storm pipe was located in an existing Town easement.
Upon excavation, Mr. Foster noticed that there was a septic smell in the
ditch and immediately alerted our office. Our inspection revealed that
there was a strong indication that the runoff from neighboring the fields
was getting in the storm drain ditch.
To prove this, we put a dye in the septic tank of the homeowner of 5
Cayuga Drive with her permission. At this point in time the dye has not
surfaced, however, we will continue to monitor the situation.
I also called Dan O'Connor of the Dutchess County Health Department.
He advised, and I strongly concur with him, that we do not replace the
storm drain and that we backfill the ditch with a very pervious material
such as crushed stone.
This morning, I advised Mr. Foster to backfill the ditch with crushed
stone and spread some topsoil so that the grass could grow.

Attention: Constance 0. Smith

I would think it appropriate that the homeowner of 5 Cayuga Drive be
contacted and informed that we cannot replace the storm drain at this
time due to the location and functioning of adjacent sewage disposal
systems.
Also, be advised that this area is located within Phase IIIA of the
Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement Area. I think
this is a situation that points the immediate necessity for sewers in this
area.
If there are any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.

Reference: Storm Sewer Pipe
Cayuga Drive
Dear Board Members:
As per your request, I have field inspected a storm sewer pipe running
between.5 & 7 Cayuga Drive with Graham Foster, Highway
Superintendent.
As you recall, a complaint arose from a nearby homeowner stating that
there was a failure in the pipe that allowed the effluent from his the field to
leak in.
The purpose of the field inspection was to determine if the pipe line could
be abandoned by the Town with no adverse effects to the drainage
system. After the field inspection, it would be my opinion that the pipe
and catch basin should remain intact as it does drain a very small area to
the east and south of the subject parcel.
If there is rehabilitative work to be done on the pipe, (ie. if there is a leak
in the pipe) then the Highway Superintendent should repair whatever
damage has taken place. Prior to repairing this damage, I would
recommend that the proper research work be done to determine that the
Town does, in fact, have an easement over this pipeline.
If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Very truly yours,
Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E.
