Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Rockingham Farms Sewage Treatment Plant
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
As a follow-up to our October 17, 1997 correspondence to the Town
Board regarding the final disposition of the existing sand filters at the
former Rockingham Farms Sewage Treatment Facilities, I enclose a copy
of a letter from Alan A. Fuchs, Regional Solid Waste Engineer of the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation (N.Y.S.D.E,C.).
The N.Y .S.D.E.C. 's letter is their acceptance of our proposal to cover the
existing sand filters with 6" of clay and 6" of topsoil. This is the most
economical and environmentally sound way to reclaim the area for the
Town.
If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
Very truly yours,
4~f'%

Re: ROCKINGHAM SEWER TRE~ TMENT PLANT FILTER SAND
Dear Mr. Paggi:
This letter is in response to your October 17,1997 letter to me regarding the handling of the sand
from gravity sand filters at the Rockingham Sewer Treatment Plant. Your letter provided analytical
data regarding the sand and indicated that the you propose to leave the sand in place (in the
ground) and cover it with 6 inches of clay and then 6 inches of topsoil. In addition, there are four
of these sand filters which contain about 1,200 cubic yards of sand and 600 cubic yards of stone.
The Department has reviewed this information and accepts your proposed use of the sand and
stone material. This acceptance is based on the general beneficial use section of Part 360-
1.15(b)(7, 8 and/or 11).
Thank you for providing the information in your letter and if you have any questions regarding this
letter, please contact me at (914) 256-3137.
Sincerely:
(}k-v 0#

Regional Solid Waste Engineer
