Page 33b. Annual Town Meeting - Mashpee Monday Larch S, 1973 <br /> C <br /> (Peters speaking) I can assure you that nothing about it resembles <br /> a dump. Nothing resembles trash. To see it code in and disappear <br /> I <br /> like magic is really something. The noise is rile. There are no sea , <br /> gulls or rodents, no trash and debris blowing about. Everything was <br /> beautifully maintained, and clean. <br /> Question from the floor: How lucrative is this operation to <br /> NCO? What do they make? <br /> Peters : It goes without saying that AENCO has to make something <br /> out of it, or how could they stay in business? <br /> Question® Roes the Town know how lucrative to the developer? <br /> We are not going to vote on this tonight, are ire? <br /> Peters : We are not awarding the contract tonight. By the time <br /> we come to the state of awarding the contract, you may be sure all <br /> the people will be satisfied with what it concludes and contains. <br /> Question: Are only the Board of Selectmen going to be the <br /> final judges of all this? <br /> K.D.O'Connell: The Selectmen to date have had the assistance <br /> of two engineers, James Bain and Tim. Hennigan as to what this comprises, <br /> and we have available the counsel of the State health authorities <br /> as well as the Department of Natural Resources and others as to what <br /> is involved. Sure the project will be lucrative for AENCO. Nobody <br /> invests millions in a business venture without the expectation o <br /> making a profit . This could mean as much as a $200,000 profit to <br /> the company. They sell some of the by-products, such as Kin and <br /> other materials used by industry. Presently there is a use for almost <br /> every single item that may be gleaned from trash. Ninety percent <br /> of the garbage and trash will become compost, which in turn will <br /> make topsoil. Ten percent will be clean fill as presently defined <br /> by the General Laws. There will be no problems of residue. under no <br /> contract this Town enters into would we agree to landfill another <br /> to 's trash. We would be accepting residue for compost. To date no <br /> value has been placed on compost. Primarily, AENCO has not dealt <br /> in any area so devoid of topsoil. It could amount to $6.00 to $8.00 <br /> a cubic yard. <br /> I <br /> There are three methods of waste disposal. One is sanitary <br /> landf-tll, which leads to ground pollution. The residue from landfill <br />
