Weston&Sampson (7)Town of Wappinger, New York
Planning Board -Civil Engineering Services
QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE & CAPABILITIES
~"` Weston & Sampson has New York offices in both the Hudson Valley region (Poughkeepsie) and
in the Capital District (Rensselaer). Our Rensselaer office is literally within direct sight of the
NYSDEC headquarters in downtown Albany and other state agencies. This allows us to be in
r"` constant contact with the leading regulators in New York State (NYS). We routinely call on and
visit department heads of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(NYSDEC) for updates and clarifications, and we are on contact lists to receive notifications of
impending changes in regulations. State Departments are conscientious about scheduling
seminars to update design professionals about new regulations, and these sessions always start
in the Capital District before moving to other parts of the state, making it convenient for our
staff from either office to attend. Similarly, the NYS Department of Health is located in Troy,
and a field office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) is located in nearby Watervliet.
g Being in proximity to regulatory officials provides the opportunity to develop good working
relationships, which is a key factor in the success of projects.
ir. Our New York offices have ready access to our Federal Projects Group, headquartered in
Peabody Massachusetts. The Team Leaders of this practice group are well versed in all federal
regulations, including changes and updates, and we use weekly video conferences between
Iw offices to share news and updates of regulations on a federal and multi-state level. Other
practice leaders in water, wastewater, and stormwater are similarly responsible for
disseminating regulatory bulletins for their respective practices.
Weston & Sampson's staff has demonstrated, excellent relationships with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ACOE, NYSDEC, New York City Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP), and other regulatory agencies, having provided successful
consulting services for New York municipal infrastructure projects for more than 50 years.
We are currently coordinating with staff in the NYSDEC Region 3 Tarrytown Office on several
projects, including infiltration/inflow (I/I) studies and previous treatment plant studies for the
Village of Tuxedo Park Wastewater System and an on-site wastewater treatment system
upgrade and permitting assistance for the Storm King School in Cornwall-on-Hudson. We are
also familiar with the application process for funding projects through the NYS Environmental
Facilities Corporation. In addition, our work routinely involves coordination with local
municipal agencies including planning boards, building departments, and state and county
health departments. We fully understand the planning board process from the Town's as well
as the applicant's perspectives.
Our comprehensive and straightforward application of the SEAR process has expedited
approvals and implementation on many projects. Our efforts will provide comprehensive
interpretive and analytical expertise needed to support the Town to serve the best interests of
the people and the environment. Our firm has been assisting various client groups with
