Additionally, a facility tour was scheduled for October 16 from 4- 6 p.m., and a fourth resident workshop was scheduled the same evening at 7 p.m. He confirmed that the SRF application was submitted on October 1, meeting the October 3 deadline, and noted that the project will be included in the October 20 Town Meeting warrant.

Watershed Management Plan Mr. Drainville then discussed the Watershed Management Plan update, also referred to by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as a"Notice of Project Change." This document updates the original 2015 plan. Comments have been received on the draft phasing plan from multiple town departments and commissions. He recently completed a review with the DPW, and the next step will be incorporating all feedback into a revised phasing plan for the Commission's review. Once consensus is reached, the plan will be submitted for NEPA review (National Environmental Policy Act). Following submission, the process will include two public comment cycles before a final certificate is issued. When asked by the Chair when the submission was due, Mr. Drainville clarified that there is no strict due date. However, he hopes to return next month with the revised phasing plan. The
