Re: Wappinqer Sewer Improvement Area No.1
Gentlemen:
Since we are presently starting a limited development
of the Wappinger Sewer Improvement No.1, I would like to
suggest a meeting in the early part of 1973 with the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation and
the Dutchess County Health Department in order to determine
ultimate development of the Sewer Improvement.
I have included three (3) pieces of correspondence
(letters dated January 27, 1972 and February 17, 1972 from
the N.Y.S. Dept. of Environmental Conservation and letter
dated December 1971 from my office to the N.Y.S. Dept. of
Environmental Conservation) to refresh your memories on
the State's position which, to my most recent knowledge,
has not changed.

RE: W-D-C-NY-810
wappinger (T) - Dutchess County
Wappinger Sewer Improvement # 1
Dear Mr. LaRow:
In order to intelligently advise my client, the Town Board
of the Town of Wappinger, I requested of you on December 16, 1971,
a clarification of your Department of the eligibility of the
various projects in the Wappinger Creek drainage basin as regards
their present and future.
The
to be on
1.
2.
3.
4.
following is my summary of what I understood your position
that date:
The Town of Poughkeepsie First Ward Sewer District would
be eligible in its present form, because it is going to
a regional plant (Arlington), however, it would be
required to discharge to the Wappingers Falls Plant when
it becomes feasible.
The Wappingers Falls plant must be built moduldrly in
order to accomodate the flows from both the Town of
Poughkeepsie and the Town of Wappinger as they require
such capacity. If this modular, quick expansion, typ~
plant is not built then no aid will be forthcoming.
The Town of wappinger must discharge its sewage flow from
the Wappinger Sewer Improvement # I into the village of
wappingers Falls Plant.
If this outfall is not built then the trunk lines in the
Wappinger Sewer Improvement # 1 will not receive any aid.
Also, the trunk main that is designed to pick up sewage
from the Rockingham Farm Sewer District will not be
eligible unless Rockingham discharges its sewage into it.
The Rockingham Sewer District if it does not discharge
into the lines of the Wappinger Sewer Improvement # 1 will
not receive any aid.
Any expansion at the present site, Oakwood Knolls, will
not be funded with State or Federal Aid.
If the above is correctly stated and the Town of Wappinger,
because of economic reasons, (see my letter to Henry Heissenbuttel
enclosed) decides not to discharge into the Wappingers Falls plant,
~",
,.,., .
Mr. William C. LaRow, Jr., P.E.
-2-
December
1971
then the several following alternatives are open to it depending
on the position of your department:
A. Wappinger Sewer Improvement # 1 is allowed to proceed
as per the letter of Edwin Friedman, dated November 30,
1971, then:
1. My letter of August 30, 1971, to William C.
LaRow is in full effect.
B. If Wappinger Sewer Improvement # 1 is not eligible
unless it discharges to Wappingers Falls plant then
two alternates exist and they are as follows:
1. Size all the facilities is Wappinger Sewer
Improvement # 1 to only service the Improvement
and abandon the Town Wide Concept.
2. Build a temporary plant and size the lines in
conformance with the Town Wide Concept even
though no aid will be available in order to
relieve the Rockingham Farms Sewer District
expansion.
Please advise me if your position is unchangable so that I
can offer the various alternatives to the Town.
Very truly yours,
Rudolph E. .Lapar
