Letter received from DEQE requesting up-date of Public Water System Listing.

HAZARDOUS WASTE Letter was read from DPW Superintendent Clute regarding an
oil spill at sewer beds. Mr. Gardner asked if oil had ever been discovered
there before. Mr. Clute said no. Mr. Gardner stated that he had been out
to look it over the other day, and that it looked like there were several
hundred gals. still on the ground. Mr. Clute stated that he would like to
excavate and fill the area with sand.
A motion was made by Mr. Young, seconded by Mr. Gardner to go along with
the recommendation of Mr. Clute. Mr. Holdgate asked about Sunday dumping.
Mr. Clute stated there was none unless under emergency conditions. Mr.
Clute noted that the Town is allowing dumping free now, when actually the
Public Health Officer should be involved in the decision making about the
legality of the dumping, other than regular garbage disposal.
Mr. Oliver made a motion, seconded by Mr. Gardner that no dumping at the
sewer bed is to be allowed without first obtaining permission from the
Public Health Officer,
The secretary was directed to write to letters for the Chairman's signature
informing Island Excavating Co., and Ken Coffin of the decision of the
Board.
There being no further business before the Board, Mr. Knott made a motion to
adjourn, seconded by Mr. Young, so voted 4-0.
