Page . Annual Town Meeting ® Mashpee Monday March 5, 1973 <br /> t� <br /> Article 23 Continued: O'Connell speaking: <br /> and I do not see this as a problem. It .s in the works that the <br /> State is interested in regionalization waste disposal. In order ' <br /> to reg' aline waste disposal , trucks would have to be going by <br /> here, many of them.. This would be many trucks rolling through <br /> Mashpee and we would not have received one benefit from them. <br /> But if we have this set up we would be unique in that our small <br /> regionalization would solve the problem of trash disposal for <br /> Mashpee and our immediate neighboring towns and there wouldn't <br /> e all that much travel over Mashpee Roads. <br /> Lehmann: We could make a disposal plant in proximity through <br /> a railroad track and send out the trash this way. <br /> K.D.O'Connell: The railroad company in this area is in the <br /> process of selling out their tracks. <br /> question raised® Has AENCO approached any other Towns in the <br /> area before coming to Mashpee? <br /> K.D.O'Connell : This has not occurred and they investigated <br /> and ch e Mashpee because of the number of people per square Haile. <br /> e are not that densely populated. The other Towns would have to <br /> pay for this service and Mashpee would get this service free . <br /> Barnstable would have to pay. Another consideration as to why <br /> Mashpee was choosers was they found the water table situation <br /> suitable here. <br /> Anna Hav rest: Is this going to be an asset to the Town? <br /> We have had so many proposals, from so many people claiming that <br /> things were going to be an asset to the Town, and they did not <br /> turn out tl-,.a t way. <br /> r. Griffin: According to the brochures, this would take a <br /> hundred acres. Do we have a hftdred acres in the area where this <br /> plant would probably 8o, near the dump? <br /> K.D.O'Connell: No, we have 65 acres there . However, we would <br /> come before the people for authorization to purchase the additional <br /> 35 acres needed. We might negotiate , if we are able to, some kind <br /> of land swap. Possibly AENCO could purchase the extra land it needs. <br /> Mr. O'Connell replied to another question from Mr. Griffing <br /> saying that the land under consideration for this purpose was the <br /> land in the area of the present dump, which consisted of some <br /> 55 acres. <br />
