RE:
The Schlinker Residence on 6 Brian Place
On May 8, 1995, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received a call
from the Schlinker residence at 6 Brian Place. Mrs. Schlinker
indicated that she had water coming into her downstairs room and
strongly felt that it was coming from her neighbor at 8 Brian
Place.
C~IO Pollution Control, Inc. discussed this matter with Mrs.
Schlinker and informed her that the best thing to do was to dye
her and her neighbor's sewer line to see if the dye shows up in
the downstairs room. She indicated that she could dye he~ line,
but requested that we do not go to her neighbor because she was
in a dispute with her. However, Mrs. Schlinker is confident that
the water that was entering her downstairs room was caused by a
break in her neighbor's sewer line.
In efforts to resolve this problem, CAMO Pollution Control,
Inc. used television equipment to view the sewer main and locate
each sewer connection into the sewer main at 6 and 8 Brian Place.
The sewer line at 8 Brian is on the opposite side of the house to
the Schlinker residence. Looking at the grades of the houses,
sewer mains and sewer laterals, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
finds it very difficult to believe that a break at 8 Brian Place
could run into the downstairs room of Mrs. Schlinker's house.

On March 15, 1995, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. reviewed the
markouts of the sewer lines and all of the locations with Mrs.
Schlinker. At that time, we informed her that, it was our
opinion, that the water entering her basement was a ground water
source. We recommended to her that she review the installation
and operation of her foundation drains and possibly look into
improving the drainage around her basement.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this
matter further, I can be reached at (914) 463-7310.
