MINUTES April 1, 1993 5 BOARD OF HEALTH 4 I Mr. McQuaid questioned whether the capping issue should be addressed now. Mr. Scipioneiresponded, "The town must cap the landfill .by 1995. " "As of 1993 refuse can no longer be accepted." Mr. McQuaid questioned whether an article for Town Meet- ing is warranted. Mr. Greelish relayed, "The Capitol Committee" has funds scheduled for capping in 1995. " Mr. Scipione stated, "The Board should update the cap- ping plan. " Mr. McQuaid stated, "In my opinion, the Board should vote on the contract for the final phase of the hydrogeologic study and also consider having Weston & Sampson revise the closure plan. " Mr. Greelish questioned whether there were funds to pay Weston & Sampson. Mr. McQuaid responded, "Funds were appropriated through Town Meeting for the Hydrogeo. Study. " "There are funds for the closure plan in the Trash Account. " i Mr. Greelish stated, "Let's take a look at it and we can make the decision tonight. " "The town is also looking for $2,000.00 for a sprinkler system which must be addressed. " Mr. Greelish questioned whether additional work would be required once capping takes place. Mr. Hanlon responded, "Should problems arise any addi- tional work will focus on remediation. " Mr. Scipione stated, "The other issue is, under the pro- gram there is a requirement for a third step which is an al- ternative to the evaluation for closure alternatives as to whether or not the town will require more than just closure. " "We have been successful in getting away with doing a write-up in the Comprehensive Site Assessment assuming no big problem evaluating the closure as the option there and not taking anything. " "We have not had any problems yet with D.E.P. . " Mr. Scipione questioned whether the contract should be executed by both the Board of Health and Selectmen.
