Happy #LicensedPEDay! We are proud to continue to promote and defend the lawful and ethical practice of engineering.

Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -- in conjunction with federal, state and local government and private sector partners -- is kicking off its fourth annual SepticSmart Week to encourage American homeowners and communities to properly maintain their septic systems. More than 26 million homes in the United States -- one in five households -- depend on septic systems to treat wastewater. If not maintained, failing septic systems can contaminate groundwater and harm... the environment by releasing bacteria, viruses and household hazardous waste to local waterways. Proper septic system maintenance protects public health and the environment and saves the homeowner money through avoided costly repairs. By taking small steps to maintain septic systems, homeowners not only protect our nation’s public health and keep our water clean, but also save money and protect their property values, said Joel Beauvais, Deputy Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Water. Simple tips for homeowners: Protect It and Inspect It: Homeowners should generally have their system inspected every three years by a qualified professional or according to their state or local health department's recommendations. Tanks should be pumped when necessary, typically every three to five years. Think at the Sink: Avoid pouring fats, grease, and solids down the drain. These substances can clog a system’s pipes and drainfield. Don’t Overload the Commode: Only put things in the drain or toilet that belong there. For example, coffee grounds, dental floss, disposable diapers and wipes, feminine hygiene products, cigarette butts, and cat litter can all clog and potentially damage septic systems. Don’t Strain Your Drain: Be water efficient and spread out water use. Fix plumbing leaks and install faucet aerators and water-efficient products. Spread out laundry and dishwasher loads throughout the day: too much water at once can overload a system that hasn’t been pumped recently. Shield Your Field: Remind guests not to park or drive on a system’s drainfield, where the vehicle’s weight could damage buried pipes or disrupt underground flow. EPA’s SepticSmart program educates homeowners about proper septic system care and maintenance all year long. In addition, it serves as an online resource for industry practitioners, local governments and community organizations, providing access to tools to educate clients and residents.

Wallkill's new roundabout is complete!

Congratulations to the Orange/Sullivan Chapter of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) on receiving the Leadership in Business Award from the SUNY Orange Foundation! Accepting the award, as Chapter President, was EP's very own Jay Samuelson.

The Warwick Valley Office & Technology Corporate Park (for which we are proud to be the design engineer) is an excellent example of how the Orange County IDA and Orange County Partnership provides a benefit to all Orange County residents.

As engineers, we are extremely excited to see the first roundabout constructed in the Town of Wallkill, NY in conjunction with the Maple Fields at Wallkill project - for which we are the site engineer & surveyor. We salute the Town of Wallkill for their creative vision in solving the traffic congestion at this intersection.

We are very excited to be a part of three projects listed in the THR as "Projects to Watch" as the Project Engineer. (#13, 17 & 34)
