2. Minutes from June 2r meeting. JH noted a spelling error in the word"aditted"(second
line from the bottom of page one) was corrected to "admitted". She also suggested the word
"spoke"in the eleventh line up from the bottom of page one was redundant and it was removed.
EL moved the minutes then be accepted as corrected, VS seconded, and the motion was passed
unanimously.
3. Continued application for BS&G, Map 45, Lots 34 & 35: STF reported agreement
between the contending parties and distributed copies of the agreement. She also distributed
copies of the notice of intent from BS&G to begin C & D excavation activities on Wednesday,
August 10th, 2005 at 8:30 a.m. as was required in connection with the agreement and reported
that testing of monitoring wells would begin on September 15''. STF further stated that Superior
Court and DEP proceedings would be going forward at the same time. The stay of litigation until
2006 would depend upon test results. In the light of these deadlines CB suggested setting a date
for the next meeting of the WQRC. It was agreed the next meeting would be on Monday,
September 19t', 2005 at 1000 hours.
5. Discuss proposed by law: This agenda item was taken up out of order to take advantage of
STF's presence. After lengthy discussion it was agreed that input from the Water Commission
would be helpful and BH moved to authorize STF to research the best method of enacting a
groundwater protection bylaw. EL seconded and the motion was passed unanimously.
4. A. Michael Antinarelli-application for office trailer on Freeman's Way,Map 46,Lot 5:
VS reported that his inspection revealed Mr. Antinnarelli was meeting requirements and that the
request for an office trailer involved no sanitary facilities and recommended issuance of the
certificate of compliance. JH expressed concern over the five gallon container of pressure
washer soap referred to by Mr. Antinarelli in his application and CB added her concern over
whether or not the DEP would consider Mr. Antinarelli's operation as a small waste generator
which would require registration. JH moved issuance of certificate of compliance dependent
upon assurance that there was no washing of vehicles on the property and evidence of registration
with the DEP. EL seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.
In response to CB's request for any other business VS reported that Colson's Landscaping had
requested issuance of a building permit in order to begin construction on a shed.VS pointed out
that his inspection had disclosed concrete blocks and other material in the alleged compost heap
which would identify it as a solid waste disposal area and not a compost pile. That,together with
the lack of a permit from the DEP for composting raised too much doubt about the nature of the
operation. It was decided that a permit could not be issued until the matter was cleared up.
There being no further business the meting was adjourned at 1222 hours.
Respectfully submitted,
William H. Porter
Recording Sec'ty and Water Dep't liaison.
