June 15, 1994 Town Board Town of Wappinger P.O. Box 324 . Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance Smith Reference: Stotz Mobile Home Park/ North Wappinger Water District Dear Supervisor Smith and Board Members: As per the Workshop Meeting of June 13, 1994, I contacted Dan O'Connor, P.E. of the Dutchess County Health Department regarding the possibility of tying in the Stotz's Mobile Home Park to the North Wappinger Water District. It was reported to us that there are presently 50:1:: connections at the mobile home park with an average daily flow of approximately 5,000 gallons per day (GPD). These were the parameters I presented to Mr. O'Connor. After discussions with other Senior Staff Officials at the Health Department, Mr. O'Connor called me back and informed me of the following: 1. The Dutchess County Health Department would approve an emergency connection from the North Wappinger Water District to the Stotz's Mobile Home Park. This emergency inter-connection would be used as necessary by the mobile home park during times of failure of their source. The inter-connection would be operated manually by the Town at the request of the mobile home park. The mobile home park must maintain their source to current State Health Department and Part V regulations, and use when able. This emergency inter-connection would not require the extension of the District or the filing of a water supply application. Joseph E. Poggi,Jr., P.E. Frnst \brtin. fr, I' F, I.S ro..

Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance Smith Reference: Stotz Mobile Home Park/ North Wappinger Water District 2. If the Town and/or mobile home park opted to make the connection permanent, the Town would either have to expand the North Wappinger Water District to include the mobile home park property and/or make the mobile home park property a tenant to the district. Either action would necessitate the filing of a Water Supply Application with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and technical approval from the New York State Health Department. Although this is a time consuming task, the significant aspect of this application is the possibility of the State denying the application due to the lack of gravity storage within the North Wappinger Water District or the existence of an emergency standby generator at that district. I did discuss the inter-connection to Central Wappinger with Mr. O'Connor. He feels that the Town might be able to take some credit for the capacity at Hilltop. However, it must be demonstrated that the average annual daily flows from both Hilltop and North Wappinger Water must be able to be effectively stored at the Hilltop tank. Effective storage would be defined as the amount of storage that exists that would still provide a minimum of 20 psi storage during extreme flows at all points throughout the distribution system. ..

North Wappinger Water District I do not know whether this condition actually exists without gathering data and performing calculations. However, I would question as to whether or not the Town could provide that. At this point in time, I would think it appropriate to question the Stotz to determine which direction they wish the Town of take. If they wish to pursue the emergency connection, we could design it with the understanding that they must maintain their source in a form acceptable to the State. If they wish to make the connection permanent, the Town will need to decide whether or not they want to pursue the Water Supply Application with the potential for being denied. Please contact this office if you wish to discuss this matter further. , Very truly yours, c9~P~{)0 Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:law cc: Albert P. Roberts, Esq. Mike Tremper Daniel O'Connor, P.E.
