MINUTES March 26, 1998 3 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. McQuaid relayed, `Back in mid February we received at least three phones calls about trash being dumped on Noisy Hole Road." "I went out to the site and discovered a least a half dozen 30 gallon trash bags of which some were broken open some were not." "On both sides of Noisy Hole Road between the tarred portion of Sarakumitt Village and Route 28 there is a dirt portion and in going through the trash I picked up at least a dozen items in these trash bags with Mr. Williams name on them." "Phis was obviously, purposefully, dumped and therefore I immediately cited Mr. Williams in the amount of$300.00 and required him to pick up the illegally dumped material and to pay the fine within 21 days."
