Members Absent: None
Others Present: Dennis Costello (Sanitation Agent), see attached Sign-In Sheet
Recorder: Melanie Rich
Thompson-Liston, Mr. Ali (Plan Extension Request for Longley Hill) - James Tetreault (Thompson-Liston) and Iqbal Ali were in attendance. Mr. Tetreault explained that the approved plan has expired (June 2005) and the applicant would like the Board to extend them. He further said that the location of the SAS on the lots could be revised to meet compliance with our current regulations. However, this would be comprised of removing the retaining walls that have been constructed as part of the original permit. Mr. Tetreault offered to include two vents (one at the system and the other up hill) like on a Presby system, and also magnetic taping. Lorie Martiska said that the intent of the regulations is so that the system is not remote and the homeowner can see it, and also that it is not close
to someone else. She asked if the two locations meet the current regulations. Mr. Tetreault said that Lot 1 has the system to the side, is visible and before the Lot 2 system. Lot 2 is at the edge of the backyard. The difference of 30’ will not bring it into more compliance (no particular gain). Dennis Costello said the walls appear to be in good condition, but they will need to be looked at by a structural engineer. The back side of Lot 2 is buried to 4’; Lot 1 is 7’ out. Larry Solimini said that would not vote for approval at this time. There are still disputes with the Planning Board. Ms. Martiska asked if they could seek approval from other departments before the Board of Health. Mr. Ali stated that in order to obtain a building permit, he needs this Board’s approval first. Mr. Costello suggested Mr. Tetreault revise the plans and submit them. He will also contact the Building
Inspector for his input. They may be required to pull a permit for the walls. The matter will be continued to the next Board meeting on April 23rd at 6:30 p.m.
Regarding the Stiles Road Shared System, the Board never received a completed package with final recorded documents which were given to Mr. Ali on May 22, 2006. Mr. Ali said he would contact Attorney Jabs and provide them to the office.

AGENT’S REPORT
Emergency Preparedness – The Board briefly viewed the WRMC cd. Lorie discussed conducting informational cable programs with Dennis (for Emergency Preparedness) and Gerry (for Lyme disease).

Dennis supplied a list of MOUs for the Members to work on for the next meeting.
Tobacco Calendars/Contest – Dennis will follow up.
Wachusett Earthday Landfill Transfer Meeting – Sue Olsen said that the Selectmen added $1,000 to the warrant. Don Parker and Dennis attended a meeting today. The site is provided free from the DCR. They would like to open it by the end of the year. The final cost is not known at this time.
Mosquito Control – Dennis sent a letter to the schools notifying them of the Children’s Protection Act. The schools have to register with the state to let them know what chemicals will be used. The draft letter prepared by Tim Deschamps will list the Board of Health as a contact for more information and the Town Clerk for the exclusion list. Running an informational cable program for this topic was also discussed.
DEP Annual Seminar – Dennis attended the meeting. He met John Regan. Mr. Regan said to contact him to discuss the post-closure monitoring plan for the Landfill.
