Investigation & Findings
I ntrnd urtinn
Date: August 29, 2025
Project No.: 2990.001.001
Phase No.: 1
Barton & Loguidice (B&L) has completed the review of Map, Plan & Report prepared by Lawrence J.
Paggi, PE, PC, for the extension of the United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) to serve the
Wappingers Manufactured Home Park (MHP) located at 91-95 New Hackensack Road. The proposed
extension aims to serve the existing MHP that is composed of fifty (50) individual residences and is
currently served by a community public water supply experiencing critical issues with water supply
quality and quantity.
Upon review, B&L has found that the Map, Plan & Report meet the minimum standards and
requirements put forth § 234-7 B. in Part II of the Town of Wappinger General Legislation. Justification
of these findings for each relevant regulatory body is presented in the section titled "Map, Plan &
Report Compliance".
Map, Plan, & Report Compliance:
The Town of Wappinger Code Part II General Legislation § 234-713 outlines that an Application for
Consent to extend a water supply and distribution is required to meet minimum requirements set forth
by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC), New York State Water Resources Commission (NYSWRC), Dutchess County
Department of Behavioral and Community Health (DCDBCH), the County of Dutchess agencies and
boards, and all other governmental units and agencies. This section serves to articulate the compliance
found during the investigation of the submission for the UWWD.
1. NYSDOH: New York State Department of Health utilizes the 2018 Recommended Standards for
Water Works. The documents submitted in reference to the extension of UWWD to serve the
Wappinger MHP meet the requirements put forth in Part 1 sections 1.1 through 1.4 and part 8
sections 8.1 through 8.12.

2. NYSDEC: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation standards regulate water
withdrawal as well as erosion and sediment control. Since this project is an extension of an
existing water supply, it is our understanding that CAMO, the operator of UWWWD, has
determined that the water main extension to serve the Wappinger MHP remains within the
amount authorized in the water supply permit or water withdrawal permit for the purpose of
supplying potable water. Additionally, the erosion and sediment control details provided by the
applicant's engineer meet the minimum requirements set forth in the New York State
Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control.
3. NYSWRC: Standards put forth by the New York State Water Resources Commission are not
applicable for this project since it is an extension of an existing water supply. It is our
understanding that CAMO, the operator of UWWD, has determined that the existing system
can accommodate the increased usage by connecting the Wappinger MHP to UWWD.
4. DCDBCH: The engineer's report and plan have already been reviewed and approved by the
Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health. This office has no
additional comments regarding the contents of the Map, Plan & Report and their compliance
with DCDBCH standards since the regulatory body has already determined the design and
report to be compliant.
5. Additional Dutchess County agencies and boards: This project is proposing a crossing
underneath a Dutchess County Highway. As a result, the plans include the road restoration
details which are compliant with the standards put forth by the Dutchess County Department of
Public Works (DCDPW). The means and methods for installing the section of watermain
underneath New Hackensack Rd, also known as Dutchess County Route —104, are still being
determined and the applicant's engineer indicates that coordination with DCDPW will continue
until the plan is finalized and approved.
6. Other Regulatory Bodies: There are no other regulatory bodies which require a determination
of minimum compliance regarding this project.
Recommendation:
Given the findings in the Map, Plan, & Report Compliance section, this office recommends that the
Town Board grant this application to proceed to public hearing. We will continue to work with the
Applicant's engineer as needed as this project progresses.
