p+d Awarded Camp Emunah Permit Coordination & Operations Project

Posted by on in AwardLeave a comment

Our team coordinated with the NYSDEC to renew the SPDES permit and created an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual for the lagoon and land application system at Camp Emunah, an overnight summer camp for Jewish girls in the Catskill Mountains in the Town of Wawarsing, NY. 

The camp uses its own wastewater treatment plant to collect and treat wastewater from the camp facility and associated buildings. The treatment plant consists of a facultative lagoon system, where treated wastewater is land applied each spring after being held through the fall and winter months. The SPDES permit for the facility was obtained many years ago, and each year the plant is re-inspected by the NYSDEC to confirm the facility continues to meet conditions specified in the permit and observe the facility’s general condition.

p+d Awarded Arfman Water & Sewer District Formation Project

Posted by on in AwardLeave a comment

p+d was awarded a project to formalize the Arfman Water and Sewer Districts in the Town of Wallkill.

The Arfman Tract Property, the subject of an intermunicipal agreement between the City of Middletown and Town of Wallkill, has historically received water and/or sewer service from the City of Middletown. Recently, several proposed development projects within or adjacent to the Arfman Tract have received approval for development and wish to move forward with construction.

Prior to allowing construction to commence, the municipalities agreed that new water and sewer districts must be formed to consummate the district boundaries and formalize a number of past service arrangements to allow the City to continue to provide needed water and sewer services.

Our team prepared a Map, Plan and Report (MPR) for each district. This report provides both the City and Town with information on key issues associated with continuing to deliver public water and sewer within the proposed district: historical background and precedence for district formation, boundaries of the proposed water and sewer districts, treatment facility for sewage that is collected, source of water to be used, general plan for any required capital improvements, estimated capital cost and operation and maintenance costs.

Following the Town’s and City’s reviews of the MPR, a public hearing was held to address public comments, and the district formation was completed.
