Dear Dave:
On May 26,2006,we performed a percolation test at the Andrew Dommaschk residence located
at 716 Ridge Road in Queensbury.The test was performed to the northeast of the existing
residence in the location where construction ofa replacement leach field is proposed.The
residence has an existing failed septic system which will be decommissioned upon completion
and certification of the replacement system.TOWN
