Ra: Castlepoint Landfill Closure Project: Town of Wappinger
VIA FAX AND MAIL
I am in receipt of a June 29,2004 letter from Town of Wappinger Supervisor Joseph Ruggiero regarding the
above referenced project. My responses to said correspondence are as follows:
1) The landfdl closure and post-clo9ure requirements are subject to the applicable sections of 6NYCRR Part
360 "Solid Waste Management Facilitieft, and the Local Government Regulatory Relief Initiative "Guidance
on Landfill Closure Regulatory Relief'. The Town has previously entered Into a Congent Order with the
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) regarding lhe matter. which Is stili in effect.
Additionally, the Town has prepared, and the NYSDEC ha9 approved 8 Closure Plan for capping the
landfill, which construction was performed during the 1998 construction season. A post-dosure Operation
and Maintenance Plan has been submitted to, and approved by the NYSDEC. At their February 28, 2000
meeting, the Wappinger Town Board authorized acceptance of an RFP from Conrad Geoscience. Inc.
consisting of quarterly gas monitoring for a period of one year at a cost of $ 1923.00. as well as annual
baseline/quarterly routine groundW$.ter t~stJng of three wells at a cost of $ 6734.00. This RFP was
subsequently re-aulhorized in 2002.
2) As per a JUly 21,2004 correspondence from Mr. Andrew D. Lent. the NYSDEC has approvad the Town's
request to reduce the post-closure water quality monitoring requIrements. Thus the Mure water quality
testing portion of the Conrad Geoscience costs wfll decrease. and a new RFP will need to be authorized.
3) The total construction cost for the Castlepoint landfill Closure was $ 488.525.72. This entire amount has
been paid to the General Contractor (Hudson Canyon Construction. Inc.). It should be noted that the Town
was 3WOlrcled grant monIes amounting to $ 274,722.35 under the State Environmental Quality Bond Act
(EQBA) for this project.
Please feel free to contact this office If you have any questions or comments.
Thank you.
