These assessments will be completed after the Newberry Rd Assessments.
Establishment of Sewer Service Area
There was nothing new to report.
XII. New Business
Superintendent’s Report
Mr. Leslie reported that he received the DEP’s regulations on fats, oils and grease. It is much more complicated than he thought it would be. A lengthy questionnaire will need to be sent to all restaurants. The restaurants will then need to be classified.
Mr. Leslie explained that there are still problems at Mill Pond. The WPCA is paying more money than it should. The cost of clearing plugs and cleaning out wet wells is adding up. He suggested sending a letter to Mill Pond Management stating that this is their responsibility. The Board agreed.
Mr. Leslie reported that the WPCA received a check from the State of CT for nitrogen credit in the amount of $6,292.00. A chart has been made up and this year we are ahead of last year.
Next month the Three Year Reviews for this year will be on the agenda.
Mr. Leslie explained to the Board that he would be unable to attend next month’s meeting and asked if it would be all right for Mr. Alibozek to attend in his place. The Board agreed with this.
Mr. Anderson asked for a time line of the SJK Property application. He also questioned whether the Wal-mart application would trigger a three-year FCC review.
