1.Call to order.

Macintyre, Nancy Wheatley, Charlie Stott and David Worth. Matt Fee joined. Also, DPW Director

2.Review minutes from past meetings.
Upon a motion by Mr. Worth, seconded by Mr. Anderson, the minutes for the previous meeting November
3, 2014 were approved unanimously.
The group discussed the criteria to be used by town staff in preparing recommendations to the Board of
Selectmen and to Town Meeting for evaluating requests to admit properties into the sewer districts. Upon a
motion by Mr. Macintyre and seconded by Mr. Anderson, the group unanimously recommends that chair
Wheatley forward the recommended evaluation process to the Board of Selectmen and request that the
Board vote to adopt this recommendation as town policy.
3.Presentation by Woodard & Curran on status of CWMP, reviewed by study area.
General: Work group reviewed the regulatory criteria which provide a technical basis for W&C
recommendations on wastewater management.
By unanimous consent, the work group finds:
a)Massachusetts Estuaries Program has not provided sufficient data to support a high degree of
confidence in the precise degree to which the identified non-point sources may be contributing to
degraded water quality.
b)Responsible stewardship does require that the community address the identified sources and to take
appropriate steps sooner rather than later.
c)Municipal Wastewater Treatment will be needed in the needs areas identified with the possible
exception of those areas to the East of Gardner Road, where the group concurs with the W&C
recommendation that this be re-examined after the jetties repairs have been completed.
4.Time ran short for further discussion on information needed on current capital liabilities and source of
funds for Treatment Plant construction.
5.Date and topics for next meeting. Friday, January 16th, 9 a.m.
6.Adjourned 5:50 p.m.
