trees in Nebraska; and

costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife,

WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires and
countless other wood products; and
WHEREAS, trees in our town increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business areas,
and beautify our community; and
WHEREAS, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
NOW, THEREFORE
I, Joseph Liberti, Supervisor of the Town of Orchard Park, do hereby proclaim April 24, 2026 as Arbor

RE: Eagle Heights Subdivision Part 8, Phase 2
PIP #2008-01, Release of Escrow for GPS Monument
Dear Board Members:
On September 17, 2008, the Town Board accepted dedication of the public
improvements constructed in the above referenced subdivision with the stipulation
that funds paid by the developer be held in escrow until that work was completed.
The developer has since completed the installation of a GPS survey monument
within this phase. The work was inspected by the Engineering Department and found
to be in compliance with Town specifications.
i therefore recommend that you authorize the Town Clerk to release to
Marrano/Marc-Equity Corporation; 2730Transit Road; West Seneca, New York 14224
the $5,000 remaining escrow held for the completion of the installation of a GPS
survey monument for Eagle Heights Subdivision Part 8, Phase 2 (PIP #2008-01).

Re: Consultant Agreement - Pond/Lake Management, Maintenance,
Non-Pesticide Aquatic Vegetation Control & Fish Stocking
Dear Board Members:
Similar to previous years, to complete the management and maintenance of various ponds/lake including Green
Lake; itis necessary to hire an environmental consulting firm that is familiar with non-pesticide aquatic vegetation
control (grass carp), water quality (microbes and water aeration), general consultation and fish stocking.
| have again solicited services and received a proposal from a local environmental consultant firm, AquaTech
Environmental, Inc., which is qualified and more than capable of completing lake management work for Green
Lake and other various Town owned ponds. Fish stocking in fifteen (15) Town owned water bodies would also be
completed in the necessary timeframe, weather and appropriate season.
The environmental services to be provided for the maintenance of Town ponds/lake are proposed as an annual
maintenance service agreement and will include: Non-Pesticide Aquatic Vegetation Control (grass carp
stocking), Initial Walkthrough (Biological, Chemical and Physical Analysis), Water Quality Analysis, Aeration
Assessment, Installation and Adjustment, Stocking Permit Procurement, Fish Stocking, Fishery
Assessment/Management and General Consultation Services. Aqua Tech Environmental, Inc. will provide these
services on an as-needed basis for a fee of $1,000.00 due in April. Also a $1,000.00 stocking deposit will be due
in April and will be later subtracted from the overall stocking costs.
The total anticipated pond treatment (weather dependent) cost for 2026 is $0.00 for the year (attachment 2.0). Six
(6) Town owned water bodies are listed with costs in case any microbial treatment.is needed this year. The 2026
pond and lake maintenance proposal includes $2,000.00 towards possible water treatment options along with
50% cost sharing opportunities from the drainage district. The $2,000.00 could also be applied towards the
stocking of 75 grass carp in Green Lake pending spillway modifications and NYSDEC approval/permitting. The
75 grass carp would aid in the aquatic vegetation control in the lake and are offered by AquaTech at a cost of
$1,725.00.
The NYSDEC has become more cautious regarding grass carp stocking due to potential ecological impacts.
There is concern that grass carp may enter connected waterways and affect regulated wetlands and sensitive
species. As a result, permitting for stocking remains uncertain, therefore stocking costs have been developed to
account for both scenarios, with and without the use of grass carp.

The continuation of the Town of Orchard Park Fish Stocking Program recommendations are attached
(Attachment 3.0 Fishery Management Agreement) for 2026. Mr. Adrian recommends continuing the feeder fish
stocking (fathead minnows & golden shiners), game fish stocking (large mouth bass) and increasing grass carp
stocking to aid in weed control and account for future restrictions of grass carp. The 2026 proposed stocking cost
including grass carp is $9,947.00 (attachment 3.1) and $9,426.75 (attachment 3.2) without grass carp, less the
$1,000.00 deposit.
The entire projected cost for Town Pond/Lake maintenance, possible water quality treatment and stocking for
calendar year 2026, is not to exceed $18,000.00. There are presently funds ($22,000.00) allocated under
Orchard Park Engineering Department “Water Quality Consultants” A01440 50541 for this work.
The Town Board must be aware, as previously discussed with AquaTech, that this natural means of aquatic
vegetation control and water quality management is not a perfect science and is heavily influenced by outside
factors such as weather, nutrient loading, oxygen levels, etc. Another factor to highlight is that, other than Green
Lake, no aeration projects are funded under this agreement, which are also a major component of improving
water quality. Lastly, this amount of funding would not cover all microbial treatments in a single year if they were,
for some reason, required for all proposed waterbodies, which is highly unlikely. All involved parties must know
there will be a learning curve with these natural methods. The true benefit for the environment comes with
eliminating pesticides.
|, therefore, recommend that you adopt the following resolutions:
Authorize the Supervisor to sign the agreement with AquaTech Environmental, Inc., 45 Kent Avenue,
Blasdell, New York 14219, for an amount not to exceed $18,000.00 to provide the following:
e Professional consultation for yearly environmental services for Town-Owned Ponds &
Lake ($1,000.00 fee due in April).
« Non-Pesticide water, quality treatment services (excluding aeration) for various Town-
Owned Ponds & Lake; including Brush Mountain, Lyrica North & South, Holley Ridge,
CRV Acom Circle, CRV East & West, Milestrip Reclamation, Birdsong, Riley
Meadows, Pleasant Acres East & West, and Knoche pond, also Green Lake.
¢« Complete NYSDEC permitting & fish stocking in specified Town-Owned Ponds/Lake
as per attachment 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 Fishery Management Agreement ($1,000.00
deposit due in Apt).
