Solid Waste Facility Report — Cape Sand & Recycling Year 2022 Item 5: Matters Not Reasonably Anticipated by the Chair Carol Marie Anderson lives on Long Pond Road addressed the Committee — when they do approvals, like the Nursing Home, do you do chemical test?. How do you determine water quality? Cyndi answered that this is more of a planning tool. This committee does not test the water quality at a site, we look at preventative measures to reduce or prevent any potential pollution from that construction or project. If there are concerns, then we would request the property owner do testing. The Planning Board is the first review — they would put any special conditions they saw fit on the application. We would review it as well and give recommendations. Kim also said the BOH would review testing that was done by the facility prior to this type of meeting taking place. If there are questions about the kind of testing or what is being reviewed such as the septic, etc., the. BOH would be the place to address that question. Next Meeting: TBD Robert asked about the January Minutes and what Jon Idman had said at that meeting. Chris said we wouldn't define our own regulations; it would be the Planning Board. Cyndi said she believed it was in the works with Department Heads. We can place it on another meeting Agenda to follow-up. Cyndi would invite the Planner to attend the next meeting to discuss.
