Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance O. Smith Reference: Rockingham Drainage Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: During the course of the above referenced job, we received a telephone call and a site visit from Mr. John Caixeiro of 7 Balfour Drive regarding a drainage easement in the rear of his property. He asked whether the work that we were doing right now would help his problem. We made a field inspection of the drainage easement which runs parallel to Balfour Drive just north of Old Hopewell. We noted that the easement was overgrown and there is standing water in it. We advised Mr. Caixeiro that the water that will be tributary to this drainage easement will be lessened dramatically upon completion of the Rockingham Storm Drain Project, therefore the project will be lessen. However, the easement (stream) is very flat which is not conducive to proper drainage. We also observed that the easement was rather overgrown, and that is what is causing the standing water at the present time. It would be my opinion, that at some point in time this easement will need to be cleaned out. I explained to Mr. Caixeiro that this may not be for a while as the highway work and the budgets are somewhat overloaded at this point in time. Please advise this office as to what direction you wish us to take. If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office. .
