SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I just raise an issue? I think if someone is going to locate it in
their rear yard, fine but shouldn't it be screened? Because those houses usually back up to other
houses. So if you are going to have it there I think at the very least you owe the neighbors the

Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone like to comment to the Town Board on any issue?
Please.
William Schriever, Greenport
WILLIAM SCHRIEVER: I gave this to the Town Clerk and then I took it back. I understand
that you have a copy of this, this is an engineering document, this is a political document. This is
what I am going to speak about. I would like to see them go to the Planning Board (inaudible).
My name is William W. Schriever and I married a young woman who summered here her whole
life, she passed away 10 years ago but the house that I lived in in Orient was their family home.
It's at 2075 Main Road, right after you go past, the third house after you go past the causeway
and then I have another piece of property, 820 Front Street which is in front of the school, which
I was hoping to build a community center on and then I live now in an apartment at Peconic
Landing, so I have three, in a sense, three properties in the town. And as far as my, I am going to
be talking on engineering today. I do want to make clear, I have a degree in engineering, I have
an advanced degree in physics. I was in the construction business and I installed septic tanks and
water lines and sewer lines and all that stuff, so I have a direct knowledge of that technology as it
existed, you know, 50 years ago. I am now just turned 90, so my days of politics were 60 years
ago. You probably don't remember that. Anyway, I don't do politics anymore. I am here as an
engineer, not as a politician. And engineers are the ones that solve problems. Politicians make
laws and they pay for the, they raise the revenue to pay for the government. And but they are not
good at problem solving and one I am trying to do here, I think is one of the most important
things that I can bring before this government, I really believe that, I think this is critically
important to the community and I have spent a lot of time working on this thing so that it would
be as accessible to you and your advisors as possible. So I have written it out so that it is easy to
read and it is written in English. There are two documents, one is an engineering proposal and
it's called High Pressure Sewer Systems. There's only one page of text, that's the front page, the
rest of the document are ads that I downloaded off the internet so you could see the equipment
Southold Town Board Meeting
September 6, 2016 page 35
that's available to implement this technology and I think that's very important ultimately but the
thing that we need to assume here when we are talking politics, that the technology is available,
it's been used for years in some locations so it is not new technology but it is not well adopted
and it should be. This is 21St century technology and I want to explain why it works. This is
why I arrived at why it works. I invented the technology and then I went around looking to see
who had it, so I came at it from a back door. But let's think of it this way, you have a water
system (inaudible), Suffolk County Water District and they deliver water to your building, your
house or your commercial building in a pipe that's usually two inches in diameter or less. It
could even be one inch in diameter, I have a meter. I don't have public water in Orient but for
political reasons, not technical reasons. But I do have it in Greenport. I think it's called 5/8ths
service, 5/8th of an inch in diameter. But anyway, when you use the water from the water
district, you use it in surges. You flush the toilet and you use a surge of water and then it's shut
off and then there's no use. When you run the dishwasher, you take a shot of it and when you
fill the teapot, you take a shot of it. When you water the grass, you don't water 24 hours a day,
you water it for a little while and then you stop. So the water comes into your property not as a
steady flow but as a periodic use. Also, remember that not all of the water that comes into your
property comes back as sewage. Only part of it does. If you water the grass or the flowers, that
water doesn't return as sewage. It is not likely that you are going to be using, if you have public
water, that you are going to be using water that produces wastewater, except if you got it from
the water district. So the point I am making is, that all the water that you are going to return to
the sewage treatment plant, wherever that is, all that water got to your property in a small pipe.
And this high pressure sewage system is just a way of returning the water to the sewage
treatment plant in another small pipe. And since that pipe can flow 24 hours a day, it can be a
very tiny pipe. So you can serve a large apartment building with a 1 t/4 line, it's that simple. A 2
inch line would be enough to serve a whole community, a whole hamlet or something. They
have them up to 3 inches, a small city or a town could go in a 3 inch pipe. There are two types
of, well there are lot of different kinds of water systems and then on the front page at the first
paragraph are the various types of sewer systems and let me just read them through so you will
understand that the kind we have isn't the only available. Our technology, the gravity
technology is 19th century stuff and we are still using it. It is not the way to go today. What I am
proposing is a modern, 21" century system, well, it's really 201h century but we haven't adopted
it yet. But it would do, allow sewer service to be provided everywhere in the town at minimal
cost, so let me first list the types of sewer systems that are commercially available. We have the
septic system that's where you put in a septic tank and either a cesspool or a leaching pool and
the water is returned to the ground after its stripped of its, most of the sludge is retained in the
septic tank and then you have that periodically removed from the septic tank by pumping the
tank. Before that, we just have cesspools. When I started in the construction business in 1968,
we were building cesspools out of cement block, just stacking them up. And before that, they
used to build them out of bricks. I had around my house, I had cesspools that were made out of
bricks from the Sage Brickyard. If you get old bricks around here, they all have Sage written on
them. So anything that would leak and then you tried to fill around the cesspool with sand or
gravel, I used to buy the gravel that was pushed up to maintain the ferry dock and then I would
use that as backfill material around the cesspools. And that makes a very good backfill material,
it's very porous and it's very stable. So that's the technology that we had in this town when we
started trying to regulate the system and then the next technology is the old fashioned gravity
Southold Town Board Meeting
September 6, 2016 page 36
system, that's where you have a pipe that is pitched downhill and the sewage flows along the
bottom of the pipe and it gets deeper and deeper and deeper as it goes along. So if you put a
sewage system on flat ground, let's say along the beach, you could start at 4 feet deep at one end
of the beach and you would be 8 feet deep at the other end. And the problem with that
technology is, as you can see, these trenches get very deep. I remember the, where I grew up in
Oklahoma, I was in the southern part of town and we had a gravity system there and the sewer
line was about 20 or 25 feet deep when it went by my house and it was getting deeper as it went
and eventually of course, it hit the banks of the old river and it got shallow again because the
land dropped off not because of the pipe and the problem with the gravity system is, you have to
keep lifting the water up otherwise your trenches get too deep and deep trenches are extremely
dangerous. Most of the deaths you see happening in the construction business happens because
of cave-ins, the walls of the trench cave in and they have all sorts of shoring mechanisms that
you buy and install to keep the trench open while the men are working in the bottom of the
trench and they have to work down there because they have to assemble the sewage line in the
bottom of the trench. It's made of pieces and they have joints and they have to do that with a
transit so that the elevation of the pipe is exactly determined within a quarter of an inch or less.
So it's a very meticulous job, it's a very dangerous job and sooner or later you have to have what
they call a lift station, that means that you have to have a pump, a low pressure pump, that will
pick up the water that's coming out of the pipe, lift it up let's say 20 feet and discharge it into
another pipe and start the process again. So gravity systems have a very limited range unless you
have pumps involved. It's pretty hard to imagine gravity systems extending very far. A few
miles and you are so deep you don't dare install it. So that's the limitation of gravity systems, its
19th century technology. The rules for it were written back then, we are still trying to build
sewer systems with that technology. And it's very expensive, it's very dangerous and I made a,
on the high pressure sewer system, there's a middle paragraph is comparing gravity systems with
this high pressure system that I am recommending. And I have taken a bunch of properties and
compared the two and as you can see, the new high pressure system is far superior, in the first
place, you can install the pipe by boring it underground, you can buy the pipe on rolls so you
don't have to make all the joints, it doesn't matter whether it goes uphill or downhill, so you
don't have to worry about getting a transit to install it, you just have to make sure that it's deep
enough that it doesn't freeze when we get cold weather. In my experience here, a pipe that is
three foot deep, it is pretty secure. If something it completely shaded all the time, it will of
course, freeze deeper than that. Maybe occasionally but by and large, I have pipes in my house
in Orient that have gone through a lot of cold weather and I've never had one freeze
underground. When the hydrants outside freeze, they freeze from the top down. But, so they are
blocked by ice but that ice is in the vertical pipe, not the horizontal. Anyway, so that's the
gravity system. Let me tell you the other types,just so you will know that the high pressure and
the gravity aren't the only systems. We have gravity systems, you can imagine, you can't use a
gravity system on a ship. The ship is twisting and turning and rocking back and forth and there's
no way that you can use a gravity system that's not level. So they have vacuum systems. If you
have been on a cruise ship, when you flush the toilet, the thing sucks your, whatever the trash
you have there in the toilet gets sucked down the pipe and so it uses very little water which is
great for being on a ship since you don't have an endless supply of good water, so it sucks it into
a storage tank, they used to discharge it but nowadays they bring it ashore at the end of the cruise
and discharge it to a treatment plant on shore. And that's also used for all kinds of industrial
it
Southold Town Board Meeting
September 6, 2016 page 37
waste collection. If you are running a packing plant packing meat or a fish plant something like
that, a food processing plant the waste there is not collected by a gravity system, it's vacuumed
up. When you want to get rid of something, you suck it into a reservoir and then you deal with
it, so then, let's talk about the lift system. You are only lifting the water from say the basement
floor to above the ground. You might be 10 feet, let's say it was a deep sump and you went 20
feet but that's typically all you would use. There are other, there is a form of lift station that you
put in a gravity system as I mentioned, to lift the water from a lower level to a higher level so it
can go down the pipe again without the trench being so deep and those basically use the same
technology, it's just a low pressure pump delivering no pressure, it's just the head, the water
head that you are pushing and there's 2.3 feet of head, water produces one pound per square
inch, you will find that quoted in here, so you can estimate. If you have 100 pounds pressure,that
will lift water 130 feet. And this high pressure systems, the pumps produce over 100 psi. so you
could have water going all the way up 200 feet without having an additional pump. And so let's
you are down in an river bottom that's way deep and you want to get the sewage out of that river
bottom, well you have got 200 feet of lift there built into the system so you can at least
accommodate most of your variation in elevation within the system itself. Okay, so then you
have reached the low pressure system, now this is what they refer to when they refer to pressure
sewer systems and they use the acronym PSS. Now what these are, they are little pumps with
grinders on them to grind up the fecal material and whatever else is in there, the vegetation,
whatever is coming down the pipe and it grinds it up into a slurry so it can flow like water and
then there's a low pressure pump that pushes it into a local line. The line can only vary in
elevation by maybe 20 feet or something and the pump runs out of lift, so these can be used as a
collection and the companies love the system because it means that every single homeowner has
a pump grinding away and that sells a lot of pumps but it's not a good system. In my opinion,
it's not practical. So what I would suggest is you build a gravity system to a reservoir and then
you pump out of the reservoir, so you just have a local reservoir or a septic tank. You can call it
a septic tank, that's what it is. And you shouldn't, if it's done right, you shouldn't have to
remove the sludge. The sludge should be ground up and go down the sewer line along with the
water. And that's so that you don't have any local, well, maintaining the equipment I guess but
you don't have any maintenance jobs to do at the, where the flow is initiated. It's an automatic
system that has a, they don't even use a float because float gets tangled up with the grease and
everything. They use an electronic detector to detect the height of the water in the reservoir or
septic tank and then it turns on the pump and then turns it off and there's valves in there that
prevent the backflow. But anyway, so that's the high pressure system and that's what I am
recommending. Now, let's do some comparison of a high pressure system with a gravity system
and we have here, the operating pressure of a gravity flow system is zero, I mean, it's just, you
have to pitch the pipe and it just runs downhill so there's no pressure at all. And, but it requires
very careful leveling and maintaining of the pipes and these pipes are rigid and they tend to crack
because the earth has movements, earthquake type movements, settling and so on and it cracks
the pipe and so the sewer pipes almost all of them leak. It cracks and then they leak through the
crack. And they generally don't fix the crack unless it's a bad leak, they just let it leak. So that
is a bad part about a gravity system. As I say, the pumps, the one I pulled off the internet
something over 100 psi, so that it gives you the same pressure going back in the sewer line that
you had in the water line coming in. The water line only flows occasionally. You have a line
that is going to flow 24 hours a day if necessary to get the water to the treatment plant. So
Southold Town Board Meeting
September 6, 2016 page 38
therefore, you can move an enormous amount of sewage in a very small pipe and one of the
standard sizes for a small line is 1 1/4 inch. Can you believe that? Inch and a quarter sewer line.
It comes in a spool, it's plastic, you use a tunneling machine or a boring machine. You can go a
city block and pull it underground so you don't have to trench through the pavement and so
forth. It can be installed, the technology is a little beyond my competence, I've never used it but
I understand you put in electronic markers on the ground where you want the pipe to go and the
machine reads the electronic signals it picks up from these reference points that you place on the
ground and then follows along so you can guide the pipe, you can guide it around a curb if you
want to and the machine will get the pipe to wherever you want it to go. You have got to come
out somewhere, so you come out in a small excavation, let's say the size of a car, and then you
place your reel of pipe at that excavation, alongside it, you grab the end of the pipe, you hook it
onto the cable that you just, that came through and you pull it through behind a reamer or you
may have a reamer go and then you go and pull it behind that again but anyway, that's how you
get it in, you put a cable through and then you pull the pipe back through the hole, that's how
you get the pipe physically installed. And you have trenchers, you know they look like a
chainsaw but larger. I had a similar trencher when I was in business, it was a little smaller than
the ones that I reference but mine only dug two feet deep but it worked very well. I remember
one day I put a drain line in at the Greenport Post Office from the back door of the post office
out to the bay and that was all filled, that whole area back there was filled so I was cutting
timbers, I was cutting brick. This little trencher was making a trench. You couldn't dig your
way in there, I mean, it was a horrible mess but you could trench it. These trenchers are built
that way, they can cut roots, they can cut pipes, anything but you have got to be careful where
you use them.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I just make a suggestion? Because I like everything you are
saying. Would you be willing to meet with the Town Engineers?
MR. SCHRIEVER: I sure would.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Meet with the engineers and then the three of you can bring it back
as a presentation to the Town Board at a work session. That way, because you are talking to
(inaudible)
MR. SCHRIEVER: I would love to do that. I think this is so important.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: So what we will do is we will get the three of you together and you
can bring it back to the Town Board as a presentation during a work session. Alright?
MR. SCHRIEVER: Alright. Sounds good.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
MR. SCHRIEVER: So I would just like to do the political part. We have been talking
technology or engineering. I would just like to do the political part of the speech and it's only
the top paragraph, the lower paragraph is the same one that I just referenced. So it's the top
Southold Town Board Meeting
September 6, 2016 page 39
paragraph and what I said in here was critical economic and environmental problems requiring
an engineering solution. So remember, I am not a politician, at least not anymore. I am an
engineer and I am trying to sell you an idea that you didn't think of and that's a really hard job
but let me try. Here are the things that I think need solving in our community in order to
continue living here in a healthy climate and the first thing that comes to mind is affordable
housing. You can't build affordable housing unless you build multiple housing, rental housing
because that's all people can afford that are young or elderly or whatever, disabled, who are not
working at a highly paid job and so you need to have a sewer to connect that building to. you
can't afford to put in a sewage treatment plant at every building. That is just totally impractical
and I see it being proposed but I think it's a terrible mistake. That's why I am so concerned
about this. We are going to spend all our money and get nothing. Now here's the next item,
nitrogen in the marine environment. Well, if we had sewers that were taking away this nitrogen
wastewater in the vicinity of the coastline, that probably would solve that, so we could put one of
these collection systems along the coastline and eliminate the nitrogen pollution that's causing
our problems with fishing and bathing and everything else. Sewers for the hamlet, you have a
hamlet but you have to build sewage systems, septic tanks for every single business or whatever
is there. if you had one reservoir, you just use a gravity system into that reservoir and one
pickup with a pump and take the effluent away. You solve that whole problem without making
septic tanks all over the place. And then you have sewers for restaurants. We have restaurants
lining our highways and much too far apart to serve with a gravity system. You couldn't afford
it. Cost more for a pipe than it would for the restaurant. So this system that I am talking about is
that you could have one line going along the road and you just simply tap into that line and you
have a local pump at that restaurant, it pushes into that line and the line carries it away. So you
have a pump and a reservoir, a septic tank, that's all you have at the origin. You need a
treatment plant at the end and that's another problem,that's a political problem. They know how
to make treatment plants but somebody has to authorize them. But remember now, with this
technology you don't have to build a treatment plant where the people are. You can build a
treatment plant anywhere you want. And you can transfer the sewage from the hamlet, let's say
you could build the treatment plant in Cutchogue if you wanted to for a development in
Mattituck and have one of those pipes going there. Problem solved. So you don't have all of the
odors, you don't have the fumes associated with a sewage system. And then another one would
be food processing. We do, we have fish being brought aboard and harvested and filleted and so
forth, so you have that kind of waste to dispose of now and it's all over the place and this way
you could just pick up all those spots, including on a farm or down along the highway. You can
just make a collection system and the one thing we are missing of course, is the treatment plant.
we have one in Greenport, we need maybe one more at least in Mattituck or Cutchogue or maybe
one in Southold but I would say one in the west end would be enough with this system. You
wouldn't need two. Because you are not talking gravity, remember? We can carry this stuff as
far as we want without any problem. and then you have wastewater from farms and wineries,
they have wastewater that shouldn't be dumped to shore, that has nitrogen and all sorts of things,
probably pesticides and god knows what, we shouldn't be putting that into the ground, we should
be carrying it away. And here's the biggest one I think, and that is, every time we build a
building, especially a public building, by public buildings I mean churches and prisons and fire
department buildings and town halls, whatever it is you are building, you have got to put in a
whole septic system for that building and it takes a lot of room according to the code to do that.
Southold Town Board Meeting
September 6, 2016 page 40
besides it's putting all that pollution into the ground. So now you want to get rid of the nitrogen,
so then you put in an expensive system to get rid of the nitrogen but you are still putting the crap
into the ground. If you had this system, all you would have to do is put in a little septic tank and
a pump, hook you building to that and take it away. I just think this is such wonderful
technology. I just hope that you will consider it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Oh, absolutely. I think when you meet with the engineers, you are
going to find out that the three of you are going to have a lot to talk about, because this is right
up their alley. So I thank you for coming before the Board.
MR. SCHRIEVER: Good. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
Bill Shipman, Cutchogue
BILL SHIPMAN: Bill Shipman, Horseshoe Drive, Cutchogue. Recently I filed a complaint on
line regarding the cigar shop again. Any word?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Bill?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: We are aware of it.
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: We are aware of it. We investigated it, we confirmed what you
told us and we look forward to moving against the....
MR. SHIPMAN: So they are up and running again? Violated their agreement again?
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Yes.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We came to the conclusion today is that we have tried to work with
the operation, there was the pending lawsuits of the, both sides had legal arguments. We tried to
resolve it with this and we can't. It is clear that they are not going to, we thought we were
getting somewhere but their behavior over the last few weeks, I have to say, discussions are over
with them. That's it. We are going to bring all of our legal might to enforce every component of
what they have been doing.
MR. SHIPMAN: And what I am kind of looking at is May 22, alcohol overdose. June 5, like I
have already said, alcohol overdose. Middle of August, two people are arrested there for
harassment and trespass. The violations for the cigar shop that you have already addressed and
now are addressing again. So these are continual violations, even though they have already been
punished by SLA. So I am just wondering, I am sure you are wondering the same thing is when
does justice get served?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, I have explained to you several times, the frustrated, I
think that there's the misunderstanding that you need to come and convince the Board to do
Southold Town Board Meeting

something. I think we have done quite a bit but in the context of everything that we have done,
we have tried to come up with some reasonable guidelines that address the Town's concerns and
address the operators concerns, it's clear at this point after the most recent event, there's no
talking, it's a waste of our time talking to them. We are going to bring all of our legal might we
can to the global picture there. Not just cigar shops.
MR. SHIPMAN: Here's the thing, we butted heads over you know, how you feel I am presenting
things and how I feel that you may be presenting things but I knew a long time ago that they
were not going to comply with what you offer and literally like you say, you were bending over
backward to offer them a resolution. Their resolution is the almighty dollar which stems from
the corrupt state politics and, am I pulling the tigers tail a little bit by saying it's corrupt? Yeah.
That place is as corrupt as you can get. Literally when they had their punishment handed down
from the SLA, that wasn't on the calendar for that particular day and when it was brought to the
chairman's attention, he told us he would get back to us. That was like 8 months ago. Sorry, 6
months ago. So why aren't you getting back to us? Because somebody caught something that
you thought you were going to push over, and that's the politics in it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You are talking about the state level,the SLA level?
MR. SHIPMAN: Yeah. And when you go back to May, June, the incident in August and the
cigar shop violations, the Planning Board says it's not a permitted use, you say it's not a
permitted use. The building that they are selling out is laboratory/office space. So all these
problems that are occurring and I am going to go out on a limb and say a majority of these
problems are not occurring at any other vineyard or wine tasting room on the north fork. Are
there intermittent problems here and there? Yes. But it's not happening May, June, August,
September, October. When harvest season comes along, that place is going to go wild. I know
it, you know it, I will be here complaining again but they are literally, this site is having these
particular problems, why? Because they are overcrowded, that particular place is overcrowded.
Who cared? I could have cared less, in 2011 how many people were there. As long as they are
making money, they were having a good time and I was living peacefully. Nobody cared how
many people were at a particular site. But when it turns into a disaster, now numbers come into
effect. Are you going to say the site is overcrowded? Which it is. And they are overserving.
They are exploiting a gray area, the SLA's determination because they never made a
determination for what a serving was. So they are serving beach pail full of sangria, to people
that are already drinking. So what is that induce? That makes the calls for the fire department
about alcohol overdose. But they are doing it. Nobody has the moral obligation to say that guy
shouldn't have it because they are getting $50 for the thing. And then the neighbors that are
living next to it, myself in particularly, the outspoken big mouth, but if I don't continue and I
close my mouth, that place will be back to where it was within the season and then we will be
doing the same thing.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I'm sorry. I am going to disagree because I think the Town Board
has worked really hard to reel them in, I think there has been a substantial amount of success.
This is what it gets down to today, they seemed like they were on their best behavior to negotiate
Southold Town Board Meeting

a settlement. We have no reason to think at this point if we can't get them to comply with no
cigar sales, then we can't in the long term get them to comply with anything.
MR. SHIPMAN: That's a pretty good way of looking at it. Through December of 2013, the
ZBA said that this site was generating this noise problem was inconsistent with agricultural
residential nature, right? So we are already saying that this stuff happened, you were attempting
to address it, the town was attempting to address it and when I complained about the parking and
the site plan, alright, in 2013 in addition the site clearly does not comply with town code 287-78
H which requires parking for that site to be contained on site. So every time that I complained, I
came up here and complained to you that there's more than the 34 vehicles, your Planning Board
said this already. So when you told me that I was intimidating and harassing...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, you're not. What you are trying to do is get the town to use all
of its resources, the police department and everything else to nitpick every little thing, alright?
MR. SHIPMAN: No.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yeah. And what we have been trying to do is get them to reel it in
like any other operation in Southold Town. We had some success, we have recently had some
setbacks, so everything is off the table with us and them. We actually have been sending a code
enforcement officer down there every Saturday. The one Saturday she is off, they start selling
cigars again. So all that success we had and all that stuff, it's all out the window. We are going
back to full battle now.
MR. SHIPMAN: So now you are not going to be afraid of harassing them or intimidating them?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's not a question of being afraid of anybody, it's trying to run an
evenhanded government.
MR. SHIPMAN: I am not saying afraid as in...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am not afraid of anything, Bill.
MR. SHIPMAN: I am just saying you are not concerned anymore about...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There's no need to maintain a communication with them to resolve
the issues because clearly they cannot be resolved.
MR. SHIPMAN: Right. Because this is 2016 and it started 2011.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And we are done talking to them.
MR. SHIPMAN: Very nice. I am sure you have the back to school night to get to.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, the orientation.
