2025-156 (6)Barton & Loguidice Memo To: Supervisor Joseph Cavaccini & Town of Wappinger Town Board From: Donald H. Fletcher Executive Vice President Re: United Wappinger Water District Extension for Wappingers Manufactured Home Park 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. 2990.001.001 UWWD Extension Investigation Memo [DRAFT] (ID 3305135).doa United Wappinger Water District Extension for Wappingers Manufactured Home Park Investigation & Findings August 29, 2025 Page 2 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. 2990.001.001 UWWD Extension Investigation Memo [DRAFT] (ID 3305135).doa United Wappinger Water District Extension for Wappingers Manufactured Home Park Investigation & Findings August 29, 2025 Page 3 This concludes the investigation report.
