In accordance with upgrades outlined in the Village Master Plan, J. Robert Folchetti & Associates is assisting the Village with the planning, design, bid and construction inspection and administration of the milling and paving of the sidwalks in the Village of Highland Falls including, but not limited to, drainage piping, concrete curbing, concrete sidewalk, asphalt pavement, and fire hydrant installation. 

Diversified Transport, Inc., intends to construct a 15,000 square foot warehouse and office facility from which a moving/storage company will operate.  The facility will be served by on site sanitary facilities including a sub-surface sewage disposal system and potable water supply from a drilled well. 

In accordance with the provisions of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, State Pollution Discharge Elimination System,  the proposed site disturbance is in excess of one acre therefore permit coverage was required.  In order to gain coverage under the permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities the following documents were prepared on behalf of the Owner:

• Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) report, including a narrative description of proposed erosion & sediment control practices to be employed during construction
• Storm Water Management System drawings
• Erosion & Sediment Control drawings
• Notice of Intent (NOI) form

Additionally, the project site is located in the Diverting Reservoir Basin which is part of the New York City East of Hudson Watershed.  As such, the proposed piping and re-alignment of an on-site watercourse required an approval from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection  for a Stream Crossing, Piping & Diversion Permit. Other permits/approvals required for the project included: Article 24 freshwater wetlands permits for disturbance activities proposed with the limits of the 100’ Adjacent Area to State Wetland BR-39; Local Zoning Change; Final Site Plan approval from the Town of Southeast Planning Board; Putnam County Department of Health permits for construction of an on site Sub-surface Sewage Treatment System and Drilled Well; and local building permits from the Town of Southeast Building Department.

Approximately thirty-nine units will be one-bedroom and the remaining one hundred forty four units are proposed to be constructed as two-bedroom units. The site is to be built with a single accessway from NYS Route 32.

The first phase of our scope of work was to receive approval to extend the water and sewer districts of the Town of New Windsor as well as the Ambulance District.  Approval was received from the Planning Board.  In addition, Folchetti and Associates was responsible for acquiring wetland permits for the project form the USACOE and the NYSDEC.
