She'd like to see it returned to its original place. (Continued from previous page) it. Hector-Harris said it was fine to use the leftover monies for other projects or purchases. Nicklesberg told The Enter- prise this week it would set a bad precedent to use town funds to solve an individual's problems and, in the event of a major town-wide disaster, the town couldn't afford to help everyone. \If you can do it with a volun- teer army, that would be our preference,\ he said, referring to residents whom Bolte said he could muster to clear the debris from the Potter Hollow Creek. Nickelsberg said that, when a DEC official comes soon to look at storm damage to a town dam, he will also look at Whiteford's property. DEC reaction Rick Georgeson, a spokesper- son for the DEC, told The Enter- prise this week that Whiteford called his agency on June 30 \wanting us to do something.\ He went on, \We explained we wouldn't do the work; we would be the permitting agency.\ Typically, contractors are hired, Georgeson said, or public works departments do the job. Whiteford was referred to the Albany County Soil and Water Conservation District, the state's Department of Transportation, and the town's highway depart- ment, Georgeson said. \We just issue the permit and make sure the environment is protected while the work is done,\ said Georgeson. \It's just a matter of finding someone that will step up and do the work or pay for it.\ Parts of Potter Hollow Creek are classified \CT said Georgeson. The \C is part of a ranking system that ranges from the highest level, \A for drink- ing water, to \B for water that is used in contact recreation like swimming, to \C the lowest level. washing downstream or coffer dams to re-route the water around the work area. Someone doing the work with- out a permit could be ticketed for stream disturbance, Georgeson said. Asked how long the applica- tion and permit process takes, 'It's just a matter of finding someone that will step up and do the work or pay for it.' Waters labeled \C\ alone are not protected, said Georgeson. But the \T\ stands for trout habitat, which, because of the fish, means it is protected, he said. \All someone needs to do is call our permit office,\ said Georgeson, giving the number, 357-2069, \and fill out the appli- cation.\ Then, a biologist is dispatched to look at the site. Even for non- protected waters, precautions can be required, he said, to pro- tect water quality. This can in- clude such devices as silt fencing to prevent sentiment from Georgeson said usually two to four weeks, but it depends on • staff availability. The last few weeks, he said, DEC employees who usually work in the Capital District have been working in Delaware and Montgomery counties because of the severe flood damage there. Asked if Route 81, an evacua- tion route, being endangered would factor in, Georgeson said, \If it's a public-safety issue, that would make a difference.\ He stressed again that a per- mit must be applied for. \That would get the ball rolling,\ said Georgeson. \If someone calls, we can send someone out there.\ SPRING SALE!!!
