Sanborn, Head and Associates
Kate Emma Schlosser and Nikki Roy were present from Sanborn, Head, and Associates. Kate Emma did a site visit to the highway shed last summer. She is being consulted on ways that we can limit salt/ground contact for the present time and in the future. The Road Agent and Ms. Schlosser have been in discussion about which sealant to use on the salt storage shed. She said that anything with salt on it even if stored temporarily should be stored on an impervious surface. Loading and unloading should also be done on an impervious surface and undercover if possible. We could increase paved area around shed and use things such as swales to divert water from salt. There was a discussion about “good housekeeping” practices. Salt should be clean up regularly. She suggested a training
called “green snow-pro”. Mr. Houle presented the Board with photographs that appear to show salt on the ground at the salt shed. Ms. Schlosser said that the DES would like any washing areas to be registered with them. Jim will register the wash areas. There was a discussion about the storage rack for the sanders. Jim said it needed an engineer stamp in order to have a roof installed. The Board would like to see a stamped plan so that the rack can be covered. The Board would like Jim to write “good housekeeping” procedures to assure continuity in practices.
Nikki Roy spoke on the topic of options for providing residents with clean drinking water. The drawbacks of overburden wells was discussed. The need for specific resident needs was discussed. The need for a contractor to develop a plan for each individual residence was discussed. This will need to be put out to bid. Sanborn, Head and Associates can help with the bid documents.
The Board will schedule a meeting with the impacted residences and Ms. Roy for May 7th at 6:00.
Road Projects
The members of the Board of Selectmen have copies of the proposed bid packages and will individually provide feedback to the RAC prior to Monday April 29th. The Road Agent is hoping to have the bid packets out by the first week of May. The work is to be completed in July and August.
