This form should be used for these events as well as to report noncompliance relating to consent orders, scheduled events and bypass events.

All necessary information can readily be reported to DEC on this form. Additional information required to describe the event can be attached.

References

This document cites or incorporates the following separate documents:

  • 2024-11-01Red Hook Commons WWTP
    Document A (2024 working document on WWTP operations) and Document B (2020 facility report) are separate artifacts from different years addressing different aspects of wastewater treatment; B is not a revision of A nor a draft leading to A's adoption.
  • 2024-11-01DEC Operation Report — November 2024
    Document A (2024-11-22 working document on WWTP operations) and Document B (November 2024 DEC Operation Report) are separate artifacts in different slots: one is a working/draft document and the other is an operational report that the board would reference or receive, not a revision of the same singular decision.

Referenced by

These other documents cite or incorporate this one:

  • 2025-01-13Red Hook Commons Plant Report
    Document A is a November 2024 technical plant report; Document B appears to be a separate working document from three days prior; they are distinct artifacts about the same facility, not revisions of the same singular decision or instrument.
  • 2025-01-13Village of Red Hook Wastewater System and NYS DEC Wastewater Facility Operation Reports — November 2024
    Document A is a November 2024 operational report filed in January 2025; Document B appears to be a working document from November 2024 — they are separate artifacts documenting the same facility at different stages, not revisions of the same singular decision.
  • 2025-01-13Main Plant Report
    Document A is a completed monthly operational report for November 2024; Document B appears to be a working document dated the same day but they are separate artifacts—one is the finalized report, the other a working version—not a literal revision of the same singular decision.
