## Village of Red Hook SEWER DEPARTMENT REPORT ## July 2025 Operations continue to go well. The two test reports in July were in full compliance with our SPDES permit. DEC did an inspection on July 15[th] which resulted in a report that stated the plants were “operating in a satisfactory manner, and no major deficiencies were noted…”. The full report is available on the Village website under Departments/Sewer Department/ Wastewater Treatment Plants Operations, toward the bottom of the page. We received no odor complaints in the month of July. DPW Foreman Jake Smith set up an alarm to go off if the EQ tank gets too full. We have approved a contract with Vector Security to update the alarm system at the WWTPs. Will update with timing when confirmed. We received a Consent Order from NYS Department of Environmental Conservation on July 3, 2025 via email. This consent order stems from the Notice of Violation dated April 14, 2025, from the DEC site inspection visit on March 21, 2025. DEC has amended our Consent Order, reducing the fine to be paid to $5,000. The remaining amount is suspended as long as we comply with the requirements of the Consent Order. The Consent Order was approved by the Board at a special meeting on August 4[th] . It has been signed along with the fine and sent to DEC as required. The original Consent Order and the revised one are also on the Village website on the WWTP page at the very bottom. H2O Innovation Operation & Maintenance LLC officially became our Water & Wastewater Operator as of August 1, 2025. We are looking forward to working with them to maintain proper operations of the WWTPs and to layout long term maintenance and capital plans to ensure that we stay up to date with our operations. ~~ee~~ C~S **Delaware Engineering, D.P.C.** 28 Madison Avenue Extension Albany, New York 12203 Tel: 518.452.1290 Fax: 518.452.1335 July 22, 2025 The Honorable Mayor Karen Smythe Village of Red Hook 7467 S Broadway, Red Hook, NY 12571 Subject: Village of Red Hook WWTP – **June 2025** Sewer Report Dear Mayor Smythe: The Old Plant (outfall 1B) was placed in operation on May 28, 2025 and treatment on that side took a few weeks to fully treat the wastewater. This startup lead to discharge permit violations for total suspended solids (June 5) and settable solids (June 6). Note that even with the high effluent solids BOD, ammonia, and fecal were all incompliance for the whole month. Since June 6, treatment on both sides has been in full compliance with the discharge limits. The effluent quality has been very clear and odorless. The effluent flow meter on the Old Plant was re-calibrated June 20, 2025 and confirmed that the flow data recorded prior to that date was artificially high by a factor of approximately 2. The modifications noted in the May 2025 report will be needed to continue compliance. The following data is extracted from the DMR reports attached to this letter. |**Parameter**|**Units**|**Result**<br>**Old Plant**|**Result**<br>**New**<br>**Plant**|**Limit**| |---|---|---|---|---| |Average Day Flow|mgd|0.0196|0.0286|0.025/0.05 (1)<br>max| |Total Suspended Solids (TSS)|mg/L|29.5|7.56|10 max| |Carbonaceous BOD5(5-Day)|mg/L|4.7|<4.0|5 max| |Total Ammonia Nitrogen (as N)|mg/L|0.644|0.735|0.98 (2) max| |UOD|mg/l|32.3|19.5|34 max| |Fecal Coliform|MPN/100|<10|<10|200 (3) max| |Dissolved Oxygen|mg/L|7.21|8.17|7 min| Notes: 1. Outfall 1A (New Plant) has a monthly average flow limit of 50,000 gpd and outfall 1B (Old Plant) has a monthly average flow limit of 25,000 gpd. 2. The limit for Total Ammonia Nitrogen (as N) is 0.98 mg/L from June 1[st] to October 31[st] and 1.81 mg/L from November 1[st] and May 31[st] . 3.
