Joseph Moran, Commissioner of DEME, highlighted some of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System MS4 Annual Report – Year 15.  DEME identified and eliminated a number of illicit discharges, including failing septic systems, sanitary sewer overflows, illegal dumping and broken sanitary sewer lines.  The Town will be replacing 700 linear feet of 6-inch sanitary piping with 8-inch PVC and review a program with an emphasis on spot repairs, manhole inserts, slip lining and manhole rehabilitation.  The Town received a grant from the NYSEFC GIGP program to create a bioretention/infiltration basin with shallow storm water wetlands to handle and treat storm water runoff that eventually flows into the Sparkill Creek in Tappan.  The Town selected a consultant to develop a design and we are currently in the final design review stage, with the goal of construction to begin in the Summer of 2018.

 

Summary of Public Comments (RTBM):

Mike Mandel, Pearl River, is in favor of Resolutions:  Opposing the Release of Judith Clark and Mutulu Shakur; and Aid for the Pearl River Carnival and Fireworks.

Brian Campbell, Pearl River Chamber of Commerce, spoke about revitalization of the Pearl River Business District focusing on commercial and residential areas around the transportation hub.

Kevin Hardy, Pearl River – revitalization in Pearl River has stopped and would like efforts to increase like Nyack and Nanuet.
