Supv Cotterill - has received applications from the County regarding flood
prevention project.
• Hwy Supt Humphrey - one is on Springhouse Rd and the other is located in
Brooktondale near Rt 330. The program is 50150 where the county pays 50% and
the town pays 50 %. Instead of the town paying the 50 percent Mr Erick Smith
is willing to pay that amount since it is located on his property and will help
the flooding situations.

C To Whom It May Concern;
I would like to roquent that the Toor, of Dryden act esB agent
for me to apply to Tompkins County for cost shearing to perform
work in Six Mile Creek as described below, I agree to assu nit a
responsibility for having the project completEC1 including
aaeuming all liability and expenses which are r,04- covered by the
county.
The work will be done in the creek approximately 1 /2 mile SE
of German Cross Road and 1/4 mile NW of Banks Road. Because of
the flooding that has taken place in the last =.'ew yeara, the
creek channel has moved and is severely undercutting and eroding
the bank in my field which is Class 1 farinl and. Also it is
undercutting a small woodlot which is already dropping small
trees and debris into the creek, as the Boil is washed away from
roots. The potential for further damage is great since the
current channel runs along the edge of my field to the woodlot,
then is forced to make a sharp turn(approx. 90 degrees) at the
woodlot. Thus in periods of high water, the full force of the
stream is working directly on the woodlot,
The proposed work would rechannelize the stream to its
previous channel involving about 500 ft of renewed channel. Also,
about 50 to 75 feet of rip rap would be required at the point the
creek is redirected into its old channel. The estimated r_oat is
approximately $2500 for the chennelization and about 9;50 /ft for
rip rap or $2500 to $3750, bringing the total to the range of
55000 to $6250. 1 believe these estimator to be on the conserva-
tive aide. A contractor has actually estimated the channelizetion
work at 'OS2000, 52500 tops." Estimates for rip rap which I have
heard are in the range of $40 to 550 /ft. Thus, in the end, I
would expect the wholeipro]ect to be in the range of 550000
Larry Gumaer from the NY Dept. of Environmental Conservation
has been at the site. He made the actual 4suggestions for the work
to be done and said that NYDEC would definitely approve the
p:•�oiect, provided it wns done, as he specified(rip rap of at least
x¢. required). Greg Tessman from Tompkins County Soil
Cona:c,:�vation Service has also been at the esite, Larry Gumaer said
that SCS would be the agency to actually provide the construction
specifications.
Toga Smith from Tompkins County Trust Company has agreed to
provide a performance bond , for me for the amount of $2500,
provided I leave that "amountj.'depoesited in the bank. I currently
have a certificate of 'deposit at that bank which expires May to
1984. On that date, I will renew it in the amount of 52500 to
expire no earlier than' September 1, 1984, and assign it to the
bank, .thus guaranteeing that -the bank will have the collateral
needed to provide the bond.
