HomeMy WebLinkAbout4830To: ROBERT MORRIS, DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 1 Geneva Road, Brewster, New York 10509 From: Marcia & Ernie Holze (Putnam Lake) Tel: 845- 279 -8192 4 Andover Road, Brewster, New York 10509 Date: August 28, 2007 Pages: 1 of 2 PROBLEM: Neighbor's septic effluent dispensed via a 4" corrugated plastic pipe. Pipe appears to run from the top of his septic tank, crosses our property line and exits approximately 1" below grade on our property. Effluent is eventually washed into the road culvert system, (via surface runoff), and exits into Putman Lake. Estimate the problem has been in place in excess of 10 years. SYNOPSIS OF EVENTS: 2007 JUNE 19 ....... Purchased '/a acre lot adjacent to our property. We have resided here 40 years. Over the years we have often smelled septic odor in creek when running. Complaint to town concluded we were smelling swamp gases. No inspections were ever made. JUNE /JULY... Clearing newly purchased land, revealed neighbor's septic effluent being discharged, in volume, over our property. JULY 3 ......... Complaint to BOH — die test revealed that effluent was from septic system. System remained in use, discharging effluent, until it was replaced July 14th. Informed by BOH that the problem was resolved. AUGUST 25 ... Massive septic odor in neighborhood. Appears the same neighbor just cut open his old steel septic tank, intending to use it as a dry well. It appears to have never ry� been pumped and the tank is left open. Sewer gases precipitate to Properties below. (We are one of those properties) AUGUST 27 ... Our property was inundated with septic flow for approximately 90 feet. This emanated from the 4 -inch corrugated plastic pipe running into our property. Effluent flowed within 10 feet of entering the streambed to the road culvert system. POOLS OF SEPTIC EFFLUENT collected throughout its path. Placed emergency call to BOH. Informed it will be resolved again. 3� 0 Page 2 of 2 Robert Morris, Director ANTICIPATED REMEDY: (Time is of the essence) bl �s�� �� ..........Old septic tank should be capped until pumped to alleviate odor.= .......Old septic tank should be pumped and decommissioned (filled). P >, ..........4 -Inch discharge pipe should be removed from both properties. C� ........ ...Requesting Documentation for: Confirmation that new system has Engineering approval for multiple bedroom house it services. The NEED to reactivate the old failed system for a dry well, raises concern about the new system's capacity. ..........Application of LIME to contaminated .areas to alleviate the lingering septic odor. (suggested by the BOH.) Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can render to alleviate this p r6bl6m. It's existed for FAR TO LONG. Since most surface water exiting our neighbor's property crosses our lot and exits into Putnam Lake, any delay in remedy only prolongs hardship and contributes to Putnam Lake's already disastrous water quality problem.
