3. Reports:

a.  FAD Deliverables:  Jeff reported that the comments on the FAD were submitted and there was overall support on the areas discussed.  Jeff also shared that discussions are continuing on the SAP/Land Acquisition Program with the smaller group and DEP, with the next meeting to be held in mid-October.  After that meeting, Jeff foresees opening the attendees to a broader group.    Heidi asked Jeff if there is a timeline available yet for the FAD changes.  Jeff shared that after the October meeting they hope to have a better sense of a timeline. 

Jeff reported that he will be submitting comments to DEC on the Part 360 Regulations which deals with the solid waste regulations and requirements.   The essence of these comments will be that there is no reason for heightened solid waste restrictions in the watersheds.

c.  Flood Commission Reports:  Nick reported that Jennifer Garigliano, from DEP, may be at the next meeting to discuss the tunnel closure and potential impacts.   

d.  CWC Report:  Jason reported everything is going very well with no major issues.  He will be having a meeting with NYC on the contracting issues but doesn’t anticipate any problems.   Michele asked how often they encounter errors on the septic system replacement estimates that result in additional costs to the project.  Jason shared that this is pretty much typical and that each discrepancy is looked at individual prior to approval. 

e.  Below the Reservoirs –  nothing to report
