Resident raises Cohasset dam safety concerns; town escalates to state senator
Summary
A resident asked about the Cohasset dam and was told the town escalated the issue to State Senator Skoufis; a private party (PIPC) disputes DEC's "High Hazard Dam" report and claims DEC lacks qualified engineers, which the Supervisor said the town contests and has referred to its attorney and hopes Army Corps will inspect.
Resident Evelyn David asked the Town Board for an update on a letter regarding the Cohasset dam. Supervisor Dave McMillen said the town has escalated concerns to State Senator Skoufis and that the town’s attorney has sent correspondence accusing PepsiCo of noncompliance with applicable requirements.
McMillen reported that PIPC (a private party referenced in the public comment) is questioning the validity of the DEC’s "High Hazard Dam" report and has claimed the DEC lacks qualified engineers; McMillen said he disputes that assertion and said he hopes the Army Corps of Engineers will now inspect the dam. He promised to keep the resident informed of developments.
