(attached) <br /> Mr. Nichols made a point that a 30% design is enough to give an idea of the concept of what <br /> we're trying to do, it's not enough to get into discreet details/comments that we'd get into later at <br /> an advanced stage. For the most part these are preliminary comments. <br /> Anastasia Rudenko and Lenna Quackenbush explained each slide in detail. Mr. Nichols <br /> commented that until you have a permit from DEP that locks you in, I always advise caution in <br /> sending money. The goal of this is to advise the Town to make sure you move further enough <br /> along with the final approval of the site so that you know you can lock down your rates and <br /> approvals and have a reasonable expectation if you're going to get a groundwater discharge <br /> permit, and if you do that is looks like what you think it's going to look like. The point is to do <br /> this before you advance design too much. The flip side is if you proceed with design and you <br /> find out you something needs to change, it could have a major impact and might cause you to go <br /> back and redesign things,which could potentially cause additional costs. The goal here is to <br /> make sure we have that understanding really soundly (and in writing,really) with DEP. <br /> Joe Lyons asked how soon they should file for permits with DEP. Anastasia Rudenko said that it <br /> can take several months for approval. GHD will develop costs and send to you fairly quickly. <br /> Kent Nichols brought up traffic control and concern that the transfer station is open different <br /> hours, it's crucial to think about a separate entrance or extra road outside of the fence.
