FARR ENGINEERING INTRODUCTION
Dear Supervisor Barbuti and Town Board Members:
We would like to introduce the Town of Liberty to Farr Engineering. I have provided municipal
engineering services to Sullivan County municipalities and the Catskill Region for over 28 years.
I enjoy working with rural communities and developing solutions to suit their needs. Before
starting my own independent firm, I was the Principal-President of a regional consulting
engineering firm.
Please review our mission statement and qualifications. We would appreciate the opportunity to
provide one on one engineering services to your unique community.
A.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide engineering services with the highest degree of
professionalism to a select client base that considers Farr Engineering their
consultant. We aspire to create professional partnerships by exceeding client
expectations. I will personally undertake the engineering services of my
municipal clients and am available 24/7 for any emergency
situation that may arise.
I love what I do, it's a passion not a job.
B.
BACKGROUND
I have 28 years of practical civil/environmental/municipal engineering experience. I am a
licensed Professional Engineer and a Certified Water Operator in New York State. Prior to
opening my independent engineering practice in 2013, I was the President and Principal of
McGoey, Hauser & Edsall (MH&E) Consulting Engineers. I worked for MH&E for 27 years,
progressing from Staff Engineer to President-Principal of the Firm, during my tenure at MH&E. I
have been appointed the designated TownNillage/City Engineer for approximately a dozen
different municipalities in New York, and have provided engineering design services to the
majority of municipalities in Sullivan County, including the Town of Liberty.

C.
MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING
The vast majority of my engineering career has been providing engineering services to
municipalities. I enjoy interacting with the elected officials, Department Heads and constituents
to provide cost effective, practical solutions to the situation to be addressed.
1.
I enjoy working side by side with Highway Superintendents to stretch their highway
infrastructure budget. I am experienced with demands of maintaining a rural road system.
2. As a certified water system operator I take pleasure in working the municipal water
operators to optimize their water infrastructure to provide high quality, reliable drinking
water. I know what it is like to deal with small Town Water District budgets.
3. I enjoy assisting the wastewater treatment plant personnel to satisfy the demanding
requirements of balancing their budget constraints while complying with the NYSDEC
mandates for discharging a clean effluent.
4.
I have vast experience in assisting Building Departments with plan reviews as required,
and helping to enforce the Building and Zoning Code to ensure the safety of the public. I
am always available to respond to calls where assistance maybe needed in condemning
a structure after a fire, vehicle accident or heavy snow.
5.
I perform engineering reviews of Planning and Zoning Board plan submittals to maintain
a balance in the community and help ensure responsible development and regulatory
compliance.
6.
I am available in the evening or early mornings for meetings with elected officials and/or
Department Heads with their constituents to explain technical situations and answer their
questions.
7.
I am available to respond to natural disasters that seem to be more frequent each year.
8.
I regularly complete applications for and am successful in securing funding for programs
such as FEMA, Community Development, and State/Federal Member item requests.

Ms. Kay also showed the board a purchasing agreement whereby they were purchasing the small

She wanted to know if the board was receptive to the zoning change from ACto RD.

say during the public hearing.

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF LIBERTY
DECEMBER 15,2014 CONTINUED .......
2. Loomis WWTP Upgrade
• Plant Data/Sampling Needs
o When significant rain events occur, the Town will continue to collect
some wet weather WWTP influent and clarifier effluent data for the
design of Phase 2 WWTP (soluble BOD, BOD, TSS, phosphorous,
ammonia):
• 24 hour composite sampling
•
Phase 2 NYSDEC
o Met with NYSDEC at Region 3 New Paltz offices on October 28 to
discuss Phase 2, the permit and Consent Order
o Forwarded a meeting summary on October 29 to NYSDEC
o Recent correspondence from NYSDEC on Loomis Permit and III-see
attached.
o For Loomis WWTP:
• NYSDEC is still working on a final limit for Phosphorous
• Will be based on effluent loading at the time of permit changes 2012
• This means it should be based on 2 to 2.5 mg/1 rather
than the 0.5 mg/1 that is contained in the current new
permit.
•
Loading is the product of concentration (mg/1) x
flow (MGD) x 8.34 so at previous permit flow of 80,000
gallons per day (0.08 MGD) the loading limit under a
revised permit should be 0.08 MGD x 2 mg/1 x
8.34 = 1.3 pounds per day.
If our plant flow is less than 80,000 gpd, at the revised
loading limit of 1.3 pounds per day, the concentration of
phosphorous can be higher than 2 mg/l.
• This means that ifNYSDEC revises the permit as planned
it is likely that phosphorous compliance can be met with
chemical addition alone and no separate process.
• NYSDEC does not want any flows to bypass biological (RBC)
treatment
• no Eq Tank overflow directly to
Sand Beds
• May end of diverting flows >50,000 gpd to the process
train that is offline prior to sending it thru the sand beds
• Some more
thought required
• Regarding Consent Order issues- for example - revising interim
dates for
Phase 2 submissions- need to contact Region 3
Attomey
o Regarding Loomis I/I:
• Letter states that current submissions are not acceptable
• Long list of things they want to see included

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF LIBERTY
DECEMBER 15,2014 CONTINUED .......
•

•
•
Can address most of their requested items
Have a draft of the Loomis Sewer System Map based on
drawings and info obtained from W&S - key item required for
the report to show facilities as well as problems, repairs, etc.
Working on tables summarizing investigative work, problems
noted, repair work to date, etc.
Plan for work forward will be minimal since flows appear to be
alto lower since Town did work in 2014. We will review this
carefully with Town before submitting.
Phase 2 work- most likely elements generally following the CDBG
funded/planned patlt:
o Planned items
• Items needed to finish up Phase I
• New Equalization Tank to provide a more uniform hydraulic load
to the plant with an overflow to go to existing sand beds
Size and type of tank affects site and cost- evaluating
• Second RBC/clarifier train rated at 50,000 gpd
• Limited repairs to the existing sand beds
•
remove and replace 4"to 6" of sand (washed sand, low in fines 0.3 to
0.6mm)
•
•
o working to get good costs from sand suppliers
• replace top 12" of liner all around
replace one section of concrete berm
• Revised or different waste solids holding tank
(Draft site plan -roll out)
o Possible Items
• Treatment to address total phosphorous
• Currently proposed limit of0.5 mg/1 under review with
NYSDEC
• Sodium Bicarbonate feed system relocation
• UV repairs
• Upgrade influent pumps (depends on location of new Eq tank)
• Larger Electrical service (working on motor list to see total needs)
• Larger generator ( working on motor list)
Pltase 2 Budget:
o Looking to keep project cost (including construction, engineering, other
cost) at less than or equal to $2M.
o Looks possible without phosphorous treatment beyond chemical addition
Delaware's contract for Pltase 2
o Phase 2 work budget numbers pending NYSDEC determination of
phosphorous limit
• We are working on the design plans and engineering report now
• Engineering costs included in the project budget ( overall goal
<$2M)

Re:
Annexation of Town of Liberty to Village of Liberty
Tax Lot #30-1-76.1
(1885 Route 52 LLC)
Dear Ken:
Per our discussion, I am enclosing a copy of 1885's petition for annexation
I am also enclosing a copy of minutes of the September 10, 2013 meeting of the
Village and Town Boards. You were present, as were Barbuti, Gerry, and Farrand.
Finally, I am enclosing (in draft) a "Town Order" to be signed by Barbuti, and a
resolution, also to be signed by him and by Laurie Dutcher.
Your next meeting is on February 17, 2015. It is really important that these
papers be executed at that time, and I will arrange to pick up signed copies to file with
Sullivan County Real Property Tax Dept.
Note: I am sending copy of this letter and of the enclosures to Laurie Dutcher.
Thanks for your help.
