Supervisor Austin asked the clerk to read a letter from Pete Mosher of
1 Luzerne Road, Glens Falls, N.Y.
To: The members of the Queensbury Town Board
Re: Application before the Queensbury Planning Board , Wednesday, September
4, 1974 of Clinton Mosher, DBA Pete Moshers, for a variance, in order to
construc0a new and better garage on our vacant lot adjoining the lot now
being used.
Gentlemen:
We feel the remarks made by board member John E. Sinnott, both at the
meeting and published in the local newspaper, degrading our home and
business was completely uncalled for. We do have parts around our GARAGE-
not shed, but as you must be well aware, we have a license to sell used cars
and used parts. Both the local and State license.
You must also be aware of the over abundance of stealing that is going
on in the Town of Queensbury as well as the surrounding counties. Therefore,
in order to protect our parts; radiators, starters , generators, etc. they
must be stored in our garage and bus near our home so that they a]Fe not
stolen. Also parts that are off and waiting for customers. Even with this
precaution, parts are taken and as yet, the Town Police have not apprehendec
the one or ones doing it.
Mr. Sinnott chose to degrade our home and business, both at the meeting�j
and in the ,ocal newspaper, and yet requested a denial to our attempt to put
up a nicer ooking building, finished off with the same Color-Lac siding as
is on our 4use, making a more acceptable appearance to our neighbors and
those traveling by our area.
My intent was to file the required applications and build my garage
according to the laws. I did not, nor do I now intend to insult or ridicule
any member of the Town Board, or any of its appointed officials.
I believe that as a taxpayer and a business man of many years in the
Town of Queensbury, that I should be allowed to improve my business and my
property, as long as it is within reason, without being insulted or degraded
by any member of any board that I have to contact to achieve my goal.
I still would like to build my garage, and would appreciate your advice
on how this can be done, without being prejudged before the facts are
presented, or without being further insulted.
Used Cars and Used Parts are needed, even by "some" of the people on
the Town Board, and we would like to stay in business, as this is how we
make our living, but we do not feel we should be degraded in any manner for
trying to make our living selling Used Cars and Used Parts, or by living in
the wrong section of the Town of Queensbury.
Respectfully,
/s/Pete Mosher
/s/Mrs. Helen Mosher

Mr. Austin opened the meeting to the public.
Mrs. Pauline Tougas opened . the discussion inquiring about the pit that
is being constructed at the landfill. She asked if there were going to
be any information meetings.
Mr. Austin replied that the town is considering the creation of an
industrial waste site, a special site at the landfill where Hercules can
dump their material. Mr. Austin said that tests are being made and as soon
as all the tests are completed, which could take another 3 weeks, the
town. will set a date for an information meeting.
Mrs. Tougas asked why the- work is being done before the information
meeting. She also mentioned that part of the landfill is a part of the
Adirondack Park and the town must have their approval also.
Mrs. Tougas expressed concern about the pigment that Hercules was dumping
and also leaving along the roadside on Ridge Road. Mr. Austin stated that
the Health Department has tested this material and it does not constitute
a hazard. Test wells are being driven and if they become polluted then
we will go one step further and create another shield. (reference to pit)
Mrs. Tougas stated that by the time you create another shield your water
will become polluted and then it is too late. Mr. Austin explained. that
this material,at present, is not being dumped in the pit. The material
that is going to be dumped in the pit, stated Mr. Austin, is a sludge that
is presently being stored in lagoons at Hercules. It is not coming to the
Landfill presently. I say again that the material that is being placed on
the Landfill presently, the residue that is left in these empty containers,
I duo not know that it is not material that has been purified and I ask the
Town Engineer if he has any knowledge of this material.
The matdcial that they now dump there. is normal trash generated by the plant,
stated Mr. Buckley. There is included in it some residue of the pigment they
sell. The material is not toxic and is acceptable to be placed on landfill
the same as, any other general material.
-- Mrs. Murray remarked that she has been up to the dump and has picked up
some of these pigment containers, these containers she has in her possession
in her garage. She indicated that she was asked to leave the landfill area
where they were dumping this material. There is a bulldozer there covering
the material imediately.
Mr. Austin explained that Hercules is using the landfill the same as any other
landowner and the material that they are dumping there is periodically
checked by ENCON.
Mrs. Murray stated that they were not shown this section of the landfill,
that they were only showed the pit area. She remarked about the meeting
that the Board had with ENCON this afternoon and stated to Mr. Austin
that he should know all about it. Mr. Austin asked, "I should know all about
what"?
:192
Mrs-. Murray said to Mr. Austin that he should know what is being dumped in
our landfill.
Mr. Austin said that he did know what is going up there.
Mrs. Murray said "What about the samples in my garage"?
Mr. Austin statetat hat he would be very glad to see them.
Mr. Austin said he would be up to her house to pick up the samples
for testing.
The question asked why is the pit being dug. Who gave the permission
for them to do it? Who is baying for this to be done?
Mr. Austin stated that- the cost of the pit and the wells are being paid
for by Hercules and in addition they- will pay the town an annual fee
of $19000.00.
The feeling of the people attending is that nothing should have been
done until an information meeting was held.
Mr. Austin stated that no industrial waste has gone into that pit of the
nature that the pit is being created for.
Mrs. Murray asked about the pigments that have been dumped up there for
years and also along Ridge Road in front of their homes. She asked is that
material dangerous.
Mr. Austin stated that the Board feels that there is nothing toxic about
those materials and they are the ordinary things that come to landfills.
Mrs. Murray said that she had an informal analyses made of the material
by a chemist who has been with Hercules for 35 years and he said. it was
dangerous stuff.
Mr. Buckley said that ENCON has asked for more data on the solubility
of what is being dumped there.
The question was asked as to when the last periodic check was made of the
landfill. Mrs. Murray asked that Hercules not be involved in the testing.
That would be like asking the "Fox to watch the chickens".
Mr. Buckley said that the water sampling program is about to begin.
Mrs. Tougas stated that if the wells are polluted in the homes around the
landfill area, is the town prepared to face a law suit, or would the town
buy up all those homes so that the people would not haup tbestay there.
Mrs. Tougas said that it would not take pollution long to hit her well.
She was only a quarter of a mile fmn the landfill.
Mr. Streeter asked Mrs. Tougas if she had any information about an under-
water stream that went from the landfill down to her house. She said "no"
She asked Mr. Streeter if he had any information and he said"absolutely not."
Mrs. Tougas said that, all. she knows is that she is downhill from the landill
and water runs downhill.
Mr. Buckley state*hat the -gfson the wells are being drilled is to see in
which direction the groun� How is.
Hercules designed this pit and submitted the plans for ENCON for their
approval. In order to insure that the pit will not leak any toxic material
a lining of clay will be used.
The question was asked how- come Finch Pruyn is dumping there now.
Mr. Austin explained that this was a joint effiort with South Glens Falls
and the City of Glens Falls recognizing the problem that Finch Pruyn had
in regard with the removal of their material. They have had to clean up
their area there because of the laws of water purity and each community
agreed to take a portion of this material in their landfill.
It was a decision of the Highway Supt. upon recommendation of the Town Board.
Mrs. Tougas said the smell from the material dumped by Pruyns is .really bad.
She also stated that the people in that area are forgotten people.
The roads are bad and there is a definite need for streetlights.
Mr. Murray asked why we are taking on the problems of creating a joint ---�
landfill with Glens Falls. This is a Glens Falls problem and West Glens
Falls should get after Glens Falls but not after Queensbury to take Glens
Falls garbage. We do not want Glens Falls problems on Ridge Road stated Mr.
Murray, we have our own.
Glenn Gregory told the board that there are 28 loads coming out of Pruyns
in a 24 hour period. There is no landfill in the Town of Queensbury that
is going to take that kind of garbage very long.
Mrs. Murray asked that we have an informational meeting as soon as possible
on this issue.
Mr. Austin said we will have a meeting when we have the results of the
tests that will be learned from the drilling of the wells.
i
A request was made to have a full time checker at the landfill to see
that no one outside of Queensbury was dumping there.
Mrs. Tougas complained about the junk cars and tires that have been dumped
on the Russell Harris property and along the Jenkinsville Rd.
Mrs. Tougas asked if the Board could stop Hercules from dumping any more
material at the landfill until it is tested.
Mr. Austin stated he was not sure if it could be done legally.
Mr. Buckley said that we could ask them to stop voluntarily any disposal
of the pigment material. They must take their everyday trash in order to
operate.
Mr. Austin said he would be willing to check into this matter.
Mr. Olson asked Mr. Buckley to check and see if the Health Dept. would
check on the material that they are now dumping.
Mr. Murray asked that the State make .the .tests.
Mr. Murray stated that Mr. Barber at last weeks meeting stated that Glens
Falls was dragging their feet in regard to the joint landfill.
Mr. Barber stated that he did not say that Glens Falls was dragging their
feet. Mr. Barber -said that we are dragging our feet because there was an
attempt by the previous administration of this board to have a combined
landfill. The present members of this board took up the momentum to look
at the practicality of that same type of philosophy looking at Glens Falls
and Queensbury as a combined unit. A lot of work has been done on behalf
of the Town Engineer and other people. My statement last week was we were
dragging our feet because we could not give Glens Fallstkfi appropriAtee
statistics as far as cost is concern, therefore they have not made a
decision.
Mr. Streeter read the pertinent part of the minutes from the last meeting;
" Mr. Barber stated that we are at fault to because we have not given the
city a concrete proposal on a joint landfill base. I would like to have this
board put forth a proposal to the City of Glens Falls for a joint landfill. "
Mr. Barber stated that he is calling for a joint landfill not necessarily
at Ridge Road.
The question was asked how long Hercules was going to be dumping and the
answer was given,as ten years.
A report in 1972 from an engineering firm stated that the town dump could
not be used as a joint landfill.
Mr. Austin replied that the town has acquired more land since that report.
Mrs. Renner stated that the term Joint landfill means something to her.
She feels that it will be a big problem for the Town of Queensbury.
Mr. Barber stated that he has declared himself to his fellow board members
ineligible to vote on any matter pertaining to Hercules. I have done this
previously because of my involvment and I make this statement now as a
citizen of Queensbury and not as a Town Board member. I am concerned about
the development of the whole problem as far as the town is concerned.
We are in the business of hauling, as you all know, and occasionly we make
mistakes and even though I am a town board member I would like you all to
know that the police agency in this town has given a number of summonses=_bo
my personnel. My personnel have been directed to cover the .loads and when
they are caught personnaly by me they are terminated and they pay their own
summonses. Any question coming before this board pertaining to Hercules� I
will not address myself nor will I defend the position of Hercules because
I have a contract with them. This I owe to the public because I am an elected
official of this town. It is difficult for me to sit up here as a Councilman
without taking that position. I could not be a good elected official If I did
not take this position.
Councilman Robillard called Mr. Austin this morning and he had a conflict
tonight and he was very upset about the special meeting. Mr. Austin
told Mr. Robillard that he did not think anything controversial would come
up tonight. This brought a bit of laughter from the people attending.
Mr. Barber left the meeting at this point. The people asked Mr. Barber
to slow his trucks down on Ridge Rd. Mr. Barber assured them he would talk
to his men.
Russell Harris remarked about the cars on his territory and asked the town
if they had another car crusher program they could be disposed of.
Mr. Austin remarked that the crushed cars are being used in the landfill
as a leach "area for the dumping of sewage.
19 4
Russell Harris explained the flow of some of the streams in the area
of the landfill.
Mr. Olson explained that he was available for any one who calls for
assistance anytime.
Mr. Austin stated that an information meeting will be properly publicized
and will probably be held in three or four weeks.
