Re: Wastewater at 33 Valley Ridge Road
Dear Mr. Sherpa,
Thank you for your recent question. Based on the information you have provided us regarding your
home occupation, we find that there is no need for you to obtain additional wastewater allocation for
the property nor for you to install a grease trap at this time. Should the nature or volume of your
business change, please contact us and we will evaluate these same questions again at that time.
For you records, below is our latest email exchange. My quoted text is in red; your responses are in
black.
Sincerely,
Paul Conner, AICP

Hi Paul/Ray,
Thank you for your quick responses. Please see below for responses.
What you will be producing (food, beverages, types, amounts of oil, etc.)
-- We will be producing Momos (Nepalese dumplings) and they are steamed so we won't be using oil at
all except for what we use to grease steamers (kind of like the bamboo steamers but ours is steel) so the
momos doesn't stick to the steamer.
How much you will be producing (average amount per day on day when you’re producing)
-- We will be cooking about 400 dumplings on day we are cooking.
What the process is (what will go down the drain, is food to be fried, etc.)
--- As mentioned, momos are steamed. We bring water to boil in steamers and steam momos so the
things that will go down the drain are just the soap and water when we do the dishes and some oil that
we use to grease steamers.
Do you have an estimate of how much water this will use on a daily basis?
--- The steamers holds about 2 quart of water which we bring to boil to steam so we will be using about
14-15 quarts of water including cleaning of the dishes.
Thank you and please feel free to contact with any questions.
Regards,
Nurbu Sherpa.
