Dear Mr. Hatin:
I have asked Bill Condon, Contractor for the repair of the Kitchen Wastewater
System at the Ramada Inn,to stop by the Town Offices to complete required paperwork.
He expects to begin work tomorrow if he can(equipment repairs may force a delay).
Submitted herewith is a copy of the plan we prepared for review and approval of
the State Health Department. I had to fight to get them to turn it around before the end of
summer.

Dear Charlie:
I'm in receipt of your May24,2001 letter regarding the replacement system at the Ramada for the
kitchen wastewater system.
One item missing from this is an approval from the Department of Health for the change made
to the system which was different from what was originally submitted to this office and the
Department of Health.
I'm asking that you submit a plan with the an approval from the Department of Health.
If you have any questions,I can be reached at 761-8256,Monday through Friday.

Final Report: Kitchen Wastewater System
Ramada Inn
Queensbury,NewYork
Dear Mr. Loomis:
Work has been completed on reconstruction of the kitchen wastewater system at the
Ramada Inn, Exit 19, I-87, Queensbury,New York. The Condon Company applied
topsoil and grass seed to the work area after backflling and grading were completed.
We encountered several unanticipated underground structures while excavating for the
new absorption system.
• First, the excavator uncovered a 4-inch cast iron water pipe running parallel to the
Pool Building wall at a distance off the wall of some 13.5 to 14 feet and at a depth to
the top of the pipe of 4.5 feet.
• Second,one existing failed seepage pit was actually set against the water pipe. We
removed that seepage pit(of necessity).
• The contractor uncovered a 2-inch gas lateral close to the existing distribution box.
Niagara Mohawk had marked the line of the gas lateral on the ground.
• Fourth,the contractor uncovered an extensive system of precast leaching chambers in
the area in which we had planned to construct new seepage pits. Tops of the chambers
are some 4.5 feet below grade. These individual structures(13.5'L x 3.5'W x 1.5'D)
are laid edge-to-edge, like floor tiles, and cover an area we estimate at 1600 square
feet,more or less.
We discovered that only a single 4-inch line had been installed from the distribution box
to the system of chambers. The distribution line was plugged solid with grease at the
Vertical 90-degree bend. The grease plug had rendered the chambers useless.
P.O. Box 792 • Glens Falls, Newyork 12801 • (518)793-1475 • FAX (518)798-3747 • e-mail: cscuds@global2000.net
May 24,2001 l l O
Mr. Arthur Loomis, Vice President O)
CRM Management, Inc
We believe the chambers had lay dormant for quite a number of years. We lifted two
chamber hatch covers and inspected the granular absorption material. We found the soil
to be in good condition and suitable for absorption.
• These circumstances were conveyed to the Queensbury Code Enforcement Officer,
David Hatin. Mr. Hatin made his final inspection on the following day while I was at
the construction site. We gave Mr. Hatin a summary of the underground situation the
contractor had encountered. We identified elements that had been removed and
explained our intention to place the absorption chambers back in service (along with
three restored seepage pits). Mr. Hatin found this modification to the original plan
acceptable. He asked only that this office submit an"as-built" drawing for his files.
Removing the chambers for off-site disposal in order to install three new seepage pits
would have been both foolish and very expensive. Therefore we decided to restore
three seepage pits, lay new pipe, and place the absorption chambers back in service.
The result is that the total effective absorption area is larger than we had planned.
• We did encounter one additional and unexpected seepage pit close to the cast iron
water pipe. With further exploration we found a 6"asbestos-cement lateral from the
pool building to the pit. We believe that seepage pit was installed to serve the
swimming pool. We found no evidence of sewage or kitchen waste around that
seepage pit.
The attached revised drawing is a record plan of the system constructed by Condon
Septic &Drain Service as approved by the Town of Queensbury.
I hereby certify that the completed works were restored by Condon Septic &Drain
Service as set forth above and as shown on the attached"as-built" drawing.

Dear Mr. Bruso:
We are submitting herewith the as-built drawing for the replacement system at the
Ramada Inn, Queensbury. Attached also is our May 24 Final Report to our client, CRM
Management, Inc. of Rome,New York.
During construction we found that record information was incomplete. We
encountered underground structures we had no prior knowledge about. These events
required that we make field changes. The actual absorption area,as built, is greater than
the design by some 65%. A full description of our findings is set out in the above Final
Report.
I am requesting that you return three stamped copies of the four attached as-built
prints, one for Dave Hatin, Town of Queensbury,one for my client and one for our files.
Thank you.
