- 6 - <br /> Beverly Kane said, `{That"s just an idea, In terms of people fertilizing their lawns, <br /> we have to understand we have a responsibility to the earth. That's part of the problem. <br /> They're many innovative ways to garden, for example. Is to take your roof run-off and <br /> run it through your vegetative area. So that it gets the treatment it needs. As opposed to <br /> Running down the driveway, ring down the street, running to the drain system. <br /> Which is to ane where this committee should make a difference, I don't think we should <br /> what the Sewer Commission does; they're already working on it. I think we ought to be <br /> careful not to take what other committees work on and imitate then. we're fairly limited <br /> on our time frame and we should focus on the areas we can produce bylaws or <br /> regulations that will make a difference. <br /> The Chairman said, "Beverly, I don't disagree. I would add one of things that we <br /> can do is to get the message out. To get a message to reemphasize to the community. <br /> Also to the extent we support the actions, we would need additional support by the town. <br /> One of the things we can put forth expected to be put out by this committee articles. <br /> Thes'e's nothing stopping this committee this is the situation this is what we think will <br /> help you in this process or your not going to see the results of it for a period of tfrne down <br /> the road, but this is a reclamation to provide the resources that aro necessary. <br /> The Chairman added: "I believe we have a short term phase; there are some <br /> longer-term things that will clearly outlive this committee. But if we're able to help to <br /> move those forward then I think it's clearly an option to do them." <br /> Chuckle Green said, "I agree Mr. Chairman that we want to do that and I also agree <br /> Beverly that we want to educate the public. I need to know how we do this. Educating the <br /> public is one thing, but as far as fertilizing a lawn we use that as a quick example or as to <br /> go by a certain standard. Ido we have to bi-law certain applications? Let's do it! How we <br /> do it? <br /> ella. Elizenberry said, "I think there are some things we can go forward with. Newer <br /> homes in town don't have run-offs. They maybe called dulls. (Interjection from The <br /> Chairman'. "That violates the zoning!") One of the things this committee is to stay <br /> focused and meeting and our charter is to come forth for going in. One or two good ones <br /> can be fine." <br /> Tom Fudala added, }'There's a list of suggestions I just want to interject. The sewer <br /> plan taking part. How are you going to pay for it? Have people lout money into escrow <br /> now, letting them get by, saving money to get listed for a sewer system. That's one of the <br /> things we can talk about. Right now, what we've got on the ground is more than the bays <br /> y <br /> can handle. You still have to look at what's coning as adding to that problem. Every new <br /> thing we build will add to that problem. There is some way to help people. we have <br /> more lard to be developed, how much added to the problem. Demonstrated by that <br /> survey everybody is concerned about water quality, but nobody realizes that they are the <br /> problem." "We have to have some way to tell people that we can't have that much <br /> nitrogen,'he said. <br /> That is what the guys are going to tell then.. we actually have the same p.r. firm that the <br /> county has hired as part of our subcontractor to do public education as part of ourj ro ect. <br /> p � <br />
