Mr. Lyons stated that even if the Town sewered around all the ponds it may not get rid of the cyanobacteria and that the Commission should support the Town effort to clean up the ponds. Mrs. Sprout questioned if there is a combined effort to push for approval at State level for approval of the cyanobacteria killing product. Mr. Lyons responded that he’s been trying for 2 years and hasn’t had any luck. NEW BUSINESS 1. Next direction and goals of the Sewer Commission. Mr. Lyons suggested that the Commission pull together all information possible to create the Phase 3 framework. Mr. Jack said the largest step moving forward is the Notice of Project Change which will result in the reclassification of the Phasing of the project across the board.
