5. Since the existing sewer in West 34th Street is to be rerouted to the upstream end of the new siphon, the house connection elevations along West 34th Street .oast also be considered in relation to the hydraulic grade elevations along the siphon route. 6. Your attention should be drawn to the attached New York Central drawings in which it is shown that the existing 15" diameter pipe in 11th Avenue north of West 33rd Street oncers the 33rd Street sewer at a point approximately 5 feet downstream of the existing manhole. This point is at the same location as your proposed manhole No. 3.

7. As a result of recent discussions it is understood that your computations are being revised to reflect our comments regarding the apparent inadequacies in your computation of the hydraulic gradient difference between the upstream and downstream points of the siphon as shown in your January Sth submission. All the above issues roust be resolved satisfactorily before any hydraulic approval can be given for the submitted contract drawings. Sincerely,

Magdi Farag, P.E. Chief Div. of Sewer Regulation & Control Bureau of Sewers Enclosure cc DiMartino Fara ee Swedlow Suspense
