Joe Patricke spoke of a letter that the Town had received from GE. In 1994 GE redid the Caputo

dump site and redesigned it so that the water would infiltrate inward rather than leeching outward. Years ago they trucked the water away. They have to do this about every eight years.

They are gearing up to do this again. They now run this water through a filtering system and

the water is tested and leeched back into the ground. The Town was not involved in the past.

It was taken care of by DEC and the EPA. Joe asked if the Town wanted to become involved

this time.

Deputy Supervisor Prendergast asked if DOH was involved in the testing.

Joe said that they weren’t. He stated that because it was over 1000 gallons a day DEC had

jurisdiction.

Deputy Supervisor Prendergast asked Joe to talk to Attorney Auffredou regarding DOH.

He feels that DOH should at least be aware of what is going on.

Councilman Kusnierz asked if this was an activity that required notification of the adjacent property owners.

Joe Patricke stated that they did not have to.

The question of traffic was brought up and it was stated by Joe Patricke that there would

not be any big trucks. Pick-up trucks would be used to bring in the filters, etc needed on the

project.

Joe Patricke stated that he would contact Mr. Auffredou regarding DOH.

Councilwoman Baker asked if we would get reports.

Joe stated that we would.

Deputy Supervisor Prendergast stated that it was Supervisor Gutheil’s recommendation that

a special meeting be held with special counsel Lou Lewis before there is any action taken on

the bill that he has presented.

A motion was made to pay the vouchers for Bartlett, Pontiff, Stewart and Rhodes #713 and #714. Partial payment was made last month and it was agreed the balance would be paid this

month. The balance of voucher #713 is $2636.70 $1,600.00 and the balance of voucher #714 is $3400.00. [amended 6/10/03 jf]
