DISCUSSION HELD REGARDING LETTER TO DEC
Attorney Dusek-Spoke to the Board regarding changes on letter to Thomas R Monroe, Department of
Environmental Conservation.
Councilman Monahan-Noted that there are no qualifying clauses in the letter.
Supervisor Brandt-At the conference with DEC they are aware of your concerns and also made those
concerns known that it had to be qualified.
Attorney Dusek-Noted that he rather not put any qualifiers in right now. The Local Law allows us to
accept it on our terms so we will be able to specify it when we take it anyway. The agreement with the
other Towns will be clarifying that. Noted the critical areas would be where we are taking it from other
people.
Attorney Dusek noted the following changes to the letter. First paragraph second to last sentence,
demolition debris may be accepted for disposal. Noted that, for disposal was not in the previous letter.
Third paragraph first sentence, the proposal would be to use the paper sludge and construction and
demolition debris as fill. I had originally had in, so that landfill could be brought to proper grade in
different areas. Noted he would like to leave the letter as open as he can right now that's our chief purpose,
to level, but we may have areas that we just want to fill. Added an additional sentence to end of third
paragraph that says, acceptance of materials would benefit the closure process as indicated and also
generate revenues that will be applied towards closure costs. Fourth paragraph, with regard to the use of
paper sludge; It previously said with regard to the last use of the paper sludge. Stated that because he
changed the sentence structure in the previous paragraph noted he had to modify this and added the
following sentence, with regard to the use of the paper sludge in the capping process. Stated the changes
are minor would like to keep the letter open so we can go in with a fairly broad request.
