r a i } BOARD OF SELECTMEN Page 2 MINUTES MONDAYt JANUARY 79 1991 Weston and Sam son DEP does not agree with the site of the landfill since there was a plume found in the area, Weston and Sampson has reviewed this. They feel the plume is roving across the landfill corner towards the la.shpee River, Theme may also be a. second plume 'n the area. Weston and Sampson Feel the refuse under natural conditions may flush itself within a few years into the river, Weston and Sampson will meet with DEP on January 22nd and 23rd to respond to this situation and discuss the zone of contamination. The area proposed for the septage treatment plant is to be located in the north and west boundary of the landfill parcel. The possible disposal could be located near the DPW property kettlehole. The key issue is to separate with DEP, the groundwater contamination area that is traveling southwest has no interaction with the future septage facilities. It was noted that DEP was favorable of the area until they learned of the groundwater contamination. Selectman Carter made note of the firing range in the area used by the Police force. The possible septage treatment facility was a. known factor and if built, the Police may still be able to use the area. Kevin Harrington Feels a. regional approach makes the most sense. He suggests a small committee be formed to work with the town of Sand- wich for this concern - to explore the options with both communities. He has suggested a member from the Board of Health, Board of Selectman and a. town representative be a. part of this committee, •ti George Costa agrees. With increases in cost factors regionalizing would save the taxpayers money. Mr* McQuaid commented on the purpose of the meeting for the Board of Selectmen to issue a letter of support for a. regional solution. Selectman Carter would like to formulate a. small committee to address these issues. With a. regional approach, there may be a greater chance of obtaining the military site with the two towns involved.
