Approximately 100 square feet within the buffer zone will be disturbed. It will be loamed and seeded and will be vegetated. Because it is a tight tank, approval from DEP is required. The ad fee is still owed. J. McGrath motioned to close the Public Meeting; D. Duffy seconded; all agreed. J.

Glenn Krevosky (EBT, Inc.) and James Venincasa were in attendance. The applicant let the previous Order lapse. Mr. Krevosky said that no Natural Heritage filing is required because as of October 1, 2008 the polygon is gone. He also stated that per Paul McManus (EcoTec, Inc.) no MESA filing is required. The Stormwater application has not been submitted. It will need to be incorporated on the plans. Mr. Krevosky stated that he contacted Martin Jalonski (DEP) who will determine if it is needed. The plans submitted show the 19.5 acres that were altered. He was told that a full set of plans will be required for the next meting. He was also told that the dam will need to be included. D. Duffy reminded Mr. Krevosky that dam information previously required by the
Commission (geotechnical engineer with recommendations under DCR regulations to upgrade the dam, stamped plans) was ignored in the past. Mr. Krevosky said he received a letter from DCR stating they would not take jurisdiction because it is not regulated by them. He will provide the letter for the next meeting. M. Bertonassi (Building Inspector) was told that Dam Safety would take jurisdiction because of the down gradient infrastructure. D. Duffy told Mr. Krevosky and Mr. Venincasa they need to supply to the Commission, in writing, what has been done and what will be done. He also reminded them that it is their responsibility to inform the Commission. Mr. Krevosky said the revised plans will include the basins, diversions and wells. Additional funds will needed for peer review and monitoring. J. Walsh reminded them that there is an Enforcement Order for filling of wetlands which will be applicable under the filing. He said
that the 19.5 acres of open stripped land which has been unstable for 2-3 years needs to be stabilized until construction begins. Mr. Krevosky stated that the temporary basins have helped. The Commission said they want to see Mr. Krevosky’s reasonable and logical work to open and close. According to the new bylaw, the entire project is under the jurisdiction of the Commission. A topographical site plan is needed. Pam Moore (resident) asked how long the project will take. Mr. Venincasa said that depending on the market, 3-5 years. Water tie in was discussed. D. Parker (Highway Department) asked if they needed to file to cross the brook. He was told they can file for the infrastructure (the Commission cannot tell them to), but they can’t tie in until they do file. EcoTec will conduct the peer review and monitoring and Graves Engineering will be asked to deal with the engineering portion. Mr. Venincasa
stated they are all set with the Planning Board. The applicant requested a continuance. J. McGrath motioned to accept the request for continuance; J. Walsh seconded; all agreed. It will be on the November 17th Agenda at 7:15 p.m.
