The location is on the north side of County Route 7 approximatel 1/4 mile west of the intersection with Gardner Hollow Road. A detailed Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared,

The applicant proposes to expand the existing 102 mobile home facility by the addition of 113 units.  The facility is located on an 84.83 acre parcel which includes approximately 29 acres of NYS Freshwater Wetland PV-2 (Class II).  The parcel is located approximately three-quarters of a mile west of the hamlet area of Pleasant Valley on the northerly side of NYS Route 44.  On site central sewer and water facilities are planned for the expansion.  A wastewater treatment plant is proposed to treat an average of 33,900 gallons per day of wastewater from the proposed 113 units.  Treated wastewater is proposed to discharge into Wappinger Creek.  A draft permit containing proposed effluent limits and monitoring requirements has been prepared by the Department and is available for review.  Wastewater from the existing 102 units will continue to be treated using several on site subsurface septic systems.
