RESIDENT BUSINESS
Joe McGrath (Stormwater) – Joe is a member of the Stormwater Management Committee. He previously came before the Board requesting the Board to control/enforce the illicit discharge portion of the Stormwater Control Bylaw. The draft bylaw he is presenting tonight has been pre-reviewed by the Attorney General. The law would be in place should it need to be acted upon. Two bylaws have already been passed and are enforced by the Conservation Commission. Lorie Martiska motioned and the Board of Health agreed to co-sponsor with the Stormwater Committee the Boylston Storm Drain Bylaw in order to meet EPA regulations and has agreed to be the enforcement authority for the bylaw.
Jay Groccia (Mosquito Control Concerns) – Mr. Groccia’s concern is preventing human sources of breeding grounds for mosquitoes in places with large areas (such as farms and golf courses). He would like the Board to raise the awareness of residents. Gerry agreed that education would be the first step. The Board has an obligation to protect the town with or without being part of the Mosquito Control Program. An article will be written for the Banner and possibly a cable access program. It was suggested that the Board also sponsor a topic each month.
Compass Pointe (Nitrogen Loading Plan for ANR Lots) – Did not show.
