Applicants are required to show proof of the following: - an active tree board and/or department - a tree care ordinance [ _ours dated 10/07/2002_ ] - a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita [ _ours $20.62_ ] - an Arbor Day observance and proclamation [ _ours dated 04/19/2025, see photo_ ] Thanks again to former Trustee and VGC Liaison Kym Bradley-Rickard for keeping meticulous records, without which our submission would not have been possible. ## **Reminders:** - I have set up a Village Street Tree Request Form. Ask your Clerk (or friendly neighborhood Liaison) if a complimentary street tree is right for you. The form can currently be accessed from the Agenda page for this meeting on the Village website. - If you have a little free time and would like to meet fun neighbors while beautifying where you live, the VGC warmly welcomes you! - All current terms end 12/31/25, and all committee members seek reappointment. As always, it’s a pleasure to serve this hardworking team. **francesuku@redhookvillage.gov**

    — pins a specific version of this chain
    Document B is a DEC noncompliance report filed by the facility operator on the June 5 event; Document A is the analytical lab report on wastewater samples from that same event—they are separate artifacts serving different regulatory purposes (compliance notification vs. analytical data), not revisions of the same instrument.
  • 2025-02-28NYS DEC Wastewater Facility Operation Report — Village of Red Hook Sewer — February 2025
    Two separate regulatory reports on the same facility at different time points; the June document reports noncompliance status while the February document is an operational report—different slots in the compliance monitoring process.
  • 2025-06-01June 2025 Sewer Report
    Document B is a compliance action report that references or responds to issues identified in Document A (the sewer report), but they occupy different slots—one is a departmental report and the other is a compliance/enforcement action.
  • 2025-06-27Update 6 27 25
    Both are separate compliance-action working documents on the same topic but dated 25 days apart with different titles and purposes (one dated June 27, one a noncompliance report dated June 5 with a July 22 reference), indicating two distinct compliance actions rather than one document revised.
  • 2025-07-10Sewer Department Report — June 2025
    Document B is a DEC compliance action document that Document A references and responds to; they are separate artifacts in different slots (compliance report vs. operational report discussing that compliance matter).
  • 2025-08-11WWTP Operation Report — Old Plant/RHC (Outfall 1B) — June 2025
    Document A is an operational report for June 2025; Document B is a noncompliance action document dated later, referencing compliance issues—they are separate board actions on the same facility, not revisions of the same instrument.
  • 2025-08-11Analytical Lab Report — Wastewater Fecal Coliform samples — June 2025 (York Lab)
    Document B is the working/draft version of the noncompliance report filed on 2025-06-05, and Document A is the finalized Appendix B report form signed and certified on 2025-07-22 for the same June 5 noncompliance event at the same facility (Village of Red Hook WWTP, Outfall 1B).
