The next meeting for the Conservation Advisory Commission and the Water Control Commission is scheduled for Thursday, October 18, 1984, at 8:00 P.M. , at the Weaver Street Firehouse. Environment: Mr. Leddy reported that leaf composting program is in good shape for this year. Discussion was held on the Flint Park composting area. Coastal Zone Committee: Dr. Mason reported the Village Board did not pass draft onto the County as certain language needed to be clarified. The Town Board passed the draft on September 19, 1984. Cherry Lawn Parcel: Dr. Mason reported no changes on the Cherry Lawn Parcel. C 4 (2) Water courses and water bodies: • Reservoir Preservation: Mr. Anderson discussed the draft of the resolution to dedicate the Reservoir for passive recreational use; a public meeting will be held on October 1st, 1984. Summer Work Program: Mr. Emanuelson discussed the summer work program completed at the Larchmont Reservoir; he felt the program was not as successful as last year because it was not a solid group and the foreman did not follow through on the assignments. Mr. Emanuelson recommended that next year's program be incorporated into the Highway Department and that a three month conservation naturalist be hired to direct the program under the supervision of Mr. Leddy. Possible dumping in Mamaroneck River: Mr. Hohberg reported a large amount of fecal coliforms were found in the Mamaroneck River; information was given to Mayor Oppenheimer. Dr. Mason will contact Mayor Oppenheimer for a follow-up report. Mr. Hohberg's proposal for next summer will be the Mamaroneck River. 11111041- Mrs. rFMrs. Fredston suggested we contact the County and forward Mr. Hohberg's report. Regarding East Creek, Mr. Hohberg sent his report of total coliform count and huwl.an fecal count to Ceasar ME-.rretti, Cou-itj Board of Health, Robert Wasp and Ellen Muller were also notified of these findings. Mrs. Fredston suggested we forward our reports to Mayor Curnin for her consideration. Frain: Mr. Hohberg discussed Frames filering system; a formal presentation will be made by Fram at the Commission's October meeting. Bayberry Association: Mr. Santos will follow up on the Bayberry Association situation. Solid waste disposal: Mr. Leddy stated Jim Staudt has a list of things to be straightened out before the County sets up operations at the Town Yard. (3) Solid waste continued: Mr. Messenger reported that Wednesday morning newspaper collections in the combined Town and Village of Larchmont currently average 14.4 tons per week for the current year vs. last year's average of 12.9 tons per week. Mr. Messenger also reported-that he had gone over the Joint Sanitation Commission's records for glass recycling with Mssrs. DeLuca and Kellogg, and while it is not possible to reconcile exactly the Yard's records on loads of glass hauled by J. Bass & Son with cash receipts, for reasons stated in Mr. Kellogg's memo of April 18, 1984, loads of four or five tons are being hauled on a frequency of two or three times per week. Total net cash receipts posted to 7/3/84 for the current year are $1,415.60. It is important to remember that the biggest savings of the glass recycling program is on the tipping cost avoided on dumping at Croton or Charles Point. Due largely to the bottle bill, glass receipts and tonnage is running at about one third of 1983. The subject of possible curb side pick up of glass and a demonstration 6f same was discussed from the standpoint of equipment cost and union problems. It was agreed that these problems have to be worked out before we can make any recommendations to the Joint Sanitation Commission. Communications to Commission: A general discussion was held regarding L.I.F.E. Center's request for approval which will be rewritten'-and submitted to Ellen Muller from NYS DEC. Mr. Anderson discussed the situation at Dog Beach where neighboring residents are concerned that windsurfing could turn the area into an uncontrolled beach. Since Manor Park Society is the actual owner of the property they would post the signs. A title search will be undertaken. (4) ti Dr. Mason discussed the letter from the Town Administrator requesting that • the preliminary budget be submitted to him by September 27th; Mr. Leddy and Mr. Emanuelson will comply with this request. Mrs. Johnson's letter about oil from the New Rochelle Housing Authority will be forthcoming. New or other business: Berringer Property: Mr. Emanuelson presented the preliminary subdivision map and the notice from the Planning Commission requiring a Title I action due to the unique contours of rock, property and drainage. Mr. Emanuelson will make a field check and submit his recommendations to Dr. Mason. Dr. Mason will write to the Planning Board on behalf of the Commission. The CAC's main concern is that this is a significant wetlands area. Follow up discussion will be held at the Commission's next monthly meeting. T-here being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.

They require no chemicals or normal operating conditions.)

Fram plate For empirical comparison of packs remove oil droplets 20 microns lifecycle cartridge cost vs Fram or smaller, compared to 60 microns CPS refer to Fig.1, page 6. for tilted plate separators with 3/4" spacing and 120 microns for standard API tanks. This enables Fram to reduce effluent oil content to levels of less than 15 ppm over a wide range of influent conditions. Operation of the system is simple. Oily water influent is introduced into an inlet chamber by gravity flow or pump. This chamber is separated from the plate pack section by an inlet weir. Heavy solids settle out and 100% oil slugs rise immediately to the surface. • Okk • OIL SKIMMER ✓SEPARATED OIL / OUTLET OIL DAM • INFLUENT WEIR - OIL-WATER _ "- ;_ MIXTURE - p R..:,._'►.>;I y-fir ,., t z z ,� CLEAN - - - 1 -► WATER qm . - r EFFLUENT . ,--*--4'-^ - � —DRAIN DRAIN INLET WEIR COALESCING PLATE ASSEMBLY ..rrr' a .� ..- _ r�.^rsF^ - i`f-a ' 8'+Pc 3-e r _ •� �,s. - - 5 -.,..;1 --"TV.::: :.,- 7 '�` -tom - 1 ..0.5...i.-4-,..,,,* qY' - ' -' ry�3 '' '‘'' ,s-,,.--•.,---,-.
