" "One of the issues discussed was how much additional <br /> funding would be required for facility planning and hydrogeo. <br /> work. " <br /> Mr. Greelish relayed, "The scope of the this study is <br /> the environmental hazard quantification of our landfill" , <br /> (closure plan) . <br /> Mr. McQuaid questioned, "Who is mandating the hydrogeo. <br /> study. " <br /> Mr. Scipione responded, "D.E.F. . " "They initially <br /> wanted to tie the facility and closure plans together which <br /> would have been an additional $40,000 . 00. " "That money would <br /> have been funded from the $127,000.00 authorized at Town <br /> Meeting.

" <br /> Mr. Greelish commented, "I propose the Board consider <br /> utilizing those funds for engineering work required for the <br /> amended set of plans that Otis is preparing for the <br /> pretreatment facility. " "I spoke with representatives of the <br /> Finance Committee and learned it would be in the towns best <br /> financial interests not to expend the $100,000.00 in the up- <br /> coming fiscal year budget. " "If we must make a commitment to <br /> fund the Otis project we will ask their consideration in <br /> postponing payment until the following year.
