That sounds about right. A few years ago the ERA Bulletin published a map of the proposed subway and the original proposed connections to the LIRR ROW.

Back in those days, hydrology was a bit more complicated to do than it is these days. I'm sure whatever test bores they did prior to approving the path probably checked out as doable. And after all, PRR/LIRR managed to sink tunnels in LIC despite similar water table issues there.
