LETTER 3 12 25 to Chair and McGovern TheWayMaker LLCRC1

Letter: March 12, 2025 To: West Orange Chairman RE: THEWAYMAKER LLC The Applicant will present the testimony of Paul Grabowski who cleared the ditch and placed the rip rap as directed by HEP SCD. He will testify that he did not change the ditch direction, and that he cleared out brush and debris as instructed. Colliers will rebut any engineering hypotheses, speculation and misrepresentations. The Applicant provided soil test results and a Geotechnical Report that demonstrate that the stormwater system was overdesigned (the seepage pits were more than sufficient for this Application) based on the calculations and engineering assumption used for the design, which is standard good engineering practices in proposing a conservative design. We understand that Llewellyn Park may invite Eric Keller from Bowman Engineering to testify. We will object to any testimony which is duplicative of Mr. Simon’s letter and/or concerning the ditch which was not created by the Applicant, and which carries stormwater from multiple offsite sources. We will also object to any testimony concerning the fabricated hysteria played out at the meeting on March 6, 2025. These were unserious positions that were totally unrelated to the stormwater management system that is the subject of this Application. The Application simply does not require pre-approval from the DEP, HEP SCD and the Township of West Orange that is separate from this Application. The necessary HEP SCD Application was filed and approved for the construction to date. Once the Stormwater Management Plan is approved, the permit will be amended and the plans submitted. Llewellyn Park can file any complaint with the NJ DEP that it chooses as a neighboring property Owner to the Applicant but has not done so for eighteen months that it has wrongfully delayed the completion of a single family back yard. This Application must be concluded on March 12, 2025 and a vote taken. The Applicant has submitted a comprehensive stormwater management plan, fully supported by the original assumptions and proved by the soils tests. The Applicant will not consent to the matter being carried to another meeting for any reason. Very truly yours, Priscilla J. Triolo, Esq. /s/ PRISCILLA J. TRIOLO, ESQ.
