They now have temporary town water on site . Previously Stone had been <br /> trucking it in. <br /> Construction Progress issues : Stone is asking for 4 weeks to complete the <br /> fields but Paul told them that was not acceptable , they must have it <br /> complete in 2 weeks . <br /> On Friday ( 9/15 ) Stone will have all steel shop drawings to SMMA, have a <br /> response to the request to improve the steel erection time and answer about <br /> expediting production of steel . <br /> WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT <br /> Last Friday there was a meeting regarding the WWTP. The most important <br /> issue , for the Town to complete , is the operation and maintenance manual . <br /> The DEP discharge permit requires it be overseen by a professional <br /> engineer. This Committee needs to look to the services of a professional <br /> for this . <br /> They also discussed who is responsible for the cost of operation for the <br /> first year. It was concluded this Committee should retain that <br /> responsibility. <br /> Steve explained it is probably better to assume that cost for one year <br /> before turning it over to the school . <br /> Peter thinks that makes sense , the School Department does not have much <br /> experience in running sewage treatment plants . <br /> Steve explained this Committee must contract for operation of the plant and <br /> for sludge hauler, which probably won' t be used the first year . The <br /> contracts for this work have to be developed. <br /> Omesh Kunar from Woodard and Curren was present . <br /> Paul said the Committee bought inspection services from Woodard and Curren, <br /> does that include helping to prepare the manual? Mr. Kunar said it does <br /> not . <br /> Joel would like to discuss what DEP requires from the manual . <br /> Steve said it is nebulas at this point . It should included what DEP wants <br /> the town to test for. The Committee should have an active role , and needs <br /> to advocate for what we feel and agree is really needed. <br /> It should include micro scaling of experiments , handling of chemicals, <br /> science lab. A plan on how that will be implemented during the school year <br /> must be included within this manual . <br /> Mr. Kunar explained that DEP wants the manual prepared by a engineer. The <br /> contractor will give you the original manuals for individual pieces of <br /> equipment . The engineer has to coordinate that and provide a detailed <br /> operational plan for different scenarios of operational occurrences so an <br /> operator can implement it . <br /> The grade of the operator and number of hours to be spent at the plant is <br /> all to be spelled out . <br /> Mr. Kunar said there is enough information in the design and DEP permit to <br /> begin procuring an operator. <br /> Paul explained realistically we don' t need someone on board until we ask <br /> 2 <br />
