Dear Mr. Brown:
In response to our April 9, 2004 comment letter we received and reviewed a
resubmission of information consisting of a cover letter to yourself dated April 15, 2004,
a cover letter to Craig MacEwan dated April 15, 2004, a revised set of plans (issue date
of April 15, 2004) and revised stormwater calculations (revised April 14, 2004). The
documents were prepared by the Environmental Design Partnership, LLP. Based on
our review of these documents, the revisions substantially address our previous
comments. We offer the following comments:
Stormwater - General
1. The project results in the disturbance of more than 1.0 acre and therefore a NOI and
SWPPP must be prepared. A NOI has been prepared and a copy must be submitted
to DEC at least 5 days in advance of starting construction. A copy of the SWPPP
should be on the construction site during construction.
Review Comments
2. There are some discrepancies between the pipe information shown on the plans
(Grading & Utility Plan and the Post Developed Drainage Divide Map), of particular
mention are reaches 5, 7 and 8.
3. The pipe leaving catch basin #12 (between the pool area and Route 9) should be.
extended past the lower 98.0' contour or a swale graded up to the end section.
4- On the Grading & Utility Plan (Sheet 2) Section "B-B" traverses the hill to the south
of the hotel but this is not reflected on the cross section. The downhill grade from
the northernmost section of parking is very steep (approximately 1:1). This also
does not appear to be accurately depicted in the cross sectior-L This slope (from
elevation 118.0' down to elevation 104.0') should be graded less steep.
Consideration should be given to the use of erosion control blankets on this hillside,
5. The ground surface elevations at the entrance/exit onto Round Pond Road are
inconsistent between the Grading & Utility Plan and the Post Developed Drainage
Divide Map. Consideration should be given to eliminating the open end section on

the east side of the entrance drive and installing a catch basin in the paved area. This
modification would necessitate the installation of a curb or paved wing along the
east side of the entrance drive.
6. The western boundary of Subcatchment #42, shown on the Post Developed
Drainage Divide Map, does not correlate with the proposed contours on this plan or
on the Grading & Utility Plan.
7. We concur with the proposed access, both onto Route 9 and onto Round Pond Road.
