SUBJECT: JAY PAGGI'S MEMO DATED JUNE 6, 1989
I recently received a copy of the attached memo, which was dated June 6, 1989.
It appears the problem still exists and was not addressed at that time. Those of you who
were around at that time may remember that my predecessor, Ken Crosier,was taken ill
at about the same time, which would explain why the project dropped in the cracks.
I feel we should, once again, pursue the problem. Since we will be involved in State
permits, we should make sure we are ready to do the project next spring. In the
meantime, Jay can obtain the necessary permits for my crew to do the work.

Dear Board Members:
At the request of Supervisor Palno, I field inspected the•
above drainage complaint and adVige the tQllowing: .
1) The road runoff from Didell Road travels in a Westerly
direction towards Route 376. Prior to its intersection
with Route 376, it leaves the roadway and travels
across Lands of Mr, and Mrs. Frank 14icodemus. The area
where the water traverses has become somewhat eroded
and has washed away a certain amount of Mr. Nicodemus'
topsoil,
2) There has been a blacktop curb installed at this Point
but apparently due to the flow of water, it is not
adequate to capture the runoff and transfer it to the
Department of Transpott-ion roadside ditch that eXists
adjacent to Route 376.
3) In order to effectively E� Ive this problem', it would be
my recommendation that a catchbasin be installed on
Didell Road and a pipeline constructed to the New York
. State Department of Transportation drainage ditch. At
this point in time, a new. curb could be installed along
the northerly side Of Didell Road to further trap the
runoff prior from it enteriftQ the Nicodemus property.

Dear Board Members :
At the request of Supervisor Paino, I field inspected the
above drainage complaint and advise the following:
1) The road runoff from Didell Road travels in a westerly
dinecKon Lowards Route 316 . Prior to its intersection
with Route 376 , it leaves the roadway and travels
across Lands of Mr . and Mrs . Frank Nicodemus . The area
where uhe water traverses has become somewhat eroded
and nas washed away a certain amount of Mr. Nicodemus '
topsoil . &
2) There has been as blacktop curb installed at this point
but apparently due to the flow of water , it is not
adequate to capture the runoff and transfer it to the
DeparLment of Transpornion roadside ditch zhaL exists
adjaceno Lo Route 376 ,
3) in order to effectively solve this problem, it would be
my recommendation that a catchbasin be installed on
Didell Road and as pipeline constructed to the New York
State Department of Transportation drainage ditch. At
this point in time , to new curb could be installed along
the northerly side of Didell Road to further trap the
runoff prior from it entcring the Nicodemus property.
