Mr. <br /> Fudala reported that all monitoring wells, with the exception of W , are lamed on individual private lots. <br /> Easements have not been recorded in favor of the Town accessing the wells and will need to become <br /> cnd ition.of the Board's decision.

Sampling would be for anmrnoni tee, nitrite and TKN, as weft as PH and conductivity, and will <br /> be less expensive than the previous sampling requirements.
