1 1 81 Mr. Smith said he met with Mr. Gompers' Engineer, Mr. Mark Donahue of Charles Perkins and Co. of Clinton, Mass. and Mr. Charles Vasiliou of Erland Construction Co. at the site to inspect deep test observation holes for water table determinations. W. Clifford Prentiss, Conservation Administrator and W. Jerry Martin, Asst. Town Engineer accompanied Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith reported that after making the initial observations and upon returning to the office he inspected the plans submitted to the Planning Board and found that the deep test observation holos had been made on the wrong prop- erty. Mr. Smith stated he immediately notified both the engineers involved on the project of the apparent error and a further detail check of the site plan showed that the deep test hole had been made on the wrong property. An ap- pointment was cancelled when it was found that it was impossible to get to the site with the equipment they had. No valid tests were made at that time. Mr. Gompers is planning to build on this site an office building similar to the one Spaulding & Slye have planned to construct on Forbes Road. Mr. Smith said the area was very wet and in order to service this building it would require a variance by the Board to grant permission to use a holding tank. Mr. Smith said he couldn't see a holding tank in this area. This problem was tabled until further information was available. Mr. Smith reported that a Memo from David Kinlock, M. D. Deputy Commissioner of Public Health stating that the Chapters of the Environmental Code concerning swimming pools, bathing beaches and family -type camping grounds would continue BATHING to be effective and enforceable by the local Boards of Health. REGULATIONS The letter (copy) to Mr. Hutchinson from Kenneth A. Tarbell, Chief of the LAND- Land & Water Use Section of Metropolitan Boston, Northeast Region regarding _FILL the Solid Wastes at the Hartwell Avenue Landfill was read by the Board. This letter agreed to extend the submission date of operation engineering plans until April 1, 1978. Mr. Tarbell stated that the 90 day extension did not provide enough time to gather the necessary data for the design of an ef- fective method of controlling or eliminating leachate at the landfill. The operational plan must include methods and schedules proposed for the necessary information regarding the leachate problem as well as when an appropriate system for leachate control can be designed and implemented.
