Respectfully submitted, I Filomena Fallacaro Clerk �% ' & - To: Mario D^Felice Prom: Curtis Heeth Re: Proposed Briarcliff Transfer Station "• You may wish to inform the Trustees about this matter, which we have discussed "briefly on the telephone after you informed me of it. « I have inspected the site, which is located between Route 9A and the Tacanic State Parkway about a mile north of the insection of Route 117 and approximately where the Con Ed high voltage power lines cross 9A. The Pocantico Hiver runs down on the eastern side of 9A and crosses under 9A and the old Putnam right-of-way immediately north of the proposed site. Another stream runs east-andwest also passing under 9A and the right-of-way slightly south of the proposed site. The Mount Pleasant Wetlands Priority Study, prepared by Frederick P. Clark Associates, Rye, states that the whole area "is the largest/-and most important wetland in the Pocantico River basin"^. Briar^ cliff has been using~ the proposed site to dump leaves, so that the immediate area is not as wet as the area around it, although of course if there is any run-off it presumably would enter the marsh and the Pocantico River. The Mount Pleasant Wetlands Priority Study points out, among other things, that any pollutants would find their way to the Pocantico Lake, which is connected to the Mount Vernon water supply although not presently used for its water. •3 M i. i :; r? I ill•': ,1 , '('• If' ! r i i ' ;; i.'< I diacussec this matter with several persons in Briarcliff, where there is strenuous opposition, headed by Richard Murray (9^1-4-23&)« They have inspected what they believe is a similar station now operating in Yonkers, which is a tall building about 5 stories high. Presumably the dumping and removal would take place in the building, but the Briarcliff people claim there would be leaking or spilling causing a hazard, particularly since the plant would be open to industries as well as municipalities. 1 have also had a discussion with Jchn Muenziger, head of the County Environmental Planning Department, who suggests that if North Tarrytown is concerned an inquiry in writing be addressed to the Solid Waste Management Department of the County requesting further details about the construction and operation of the Station, what safeguards are being planned to prevent leakage or apilling and the handling of traffic. Mr. Lluen^iger has inspected the site and has received data in opposition from the Briarcliff people. He inclines to believe an Environmental Impact Statement world have to be prepared. The Briarcliff people claim that the Briarcliff Manor Trustees are officially opposed to the proposed station. �^ 3 i2> TELEPHONE (914) tol-0800 ^UEiSffl' RICHARD J.
