32 Mr. Smith stated he has written to N.I.H. for their guidelines and also to several other cities and towns including Cambridge. Dr. Roemer said when we receive all the regulations and guidelines avail- able we can review them and come up with our own set of regulations for this town. Mr. Smith reported that he had gone to a meeting with the League of Women Voters, Chief John Bergeron of the Fire Department, Wally Tonaszuck, Direc- tor of Public Works and Cliffe Prentiss of the Conservation Department, on March 4, 1982 in regard to hazardous waste. Mr. Smith had sent an article to Wally Tonaszuck and had sent the same article to the local paper in regard to disposing of hazardous waste from private homes. Joan Clark of the League of Women Voters was interested in what could be done with it. The Board discussed what part the town agencies played in this and how to dispose of it. Mr. Smith said private disposal companies what $150.00 to carry it away. The Board discussed having different areas in Town to drop it off at and then have it taken away from there. The P.W.D. trucks cannot do that in Town because certain permits are required. It has to be dumped at a State approved facility. The State said it can can be thrown in a landfill if a town has one. What basically was discussed at the meeting at the fire station with the league of Women Voters was ways that the hazardous wastes from private homes could legitimately be disposed of and just how costly would it be. Mr. Smith told the Board that he would be going to another meeting in a couple of weeks to discuss this further and maybe could find some way to dispose of this that would be worth pursuing.
