The meeting was called to order at 8.15 p m. by acting chairman Peter Reiman.
Mr Heaney and Mr Baker submitted to the Board a progress report on the study
of items A and C of the contract let by the Board to Camp, Dresser & McKee
Mr Heaney further stated that the refuse survey (Item A of the contract) should
be completed by June 7 In respect to this survey Mr Reiman offered the assistance
of the Board's members to Mr Heaney
A verbal opinion given by Mr Heaney suggested that the Board present the par-
ticipating communities with two or three sites employing a sanitary landfill pro-
cedure and an alternative plan of incineration. The response of the Board to this
suggestion was that such a plan of a landfill site within any community of the
proposed district would have a small chance of being accepted by the chosen com-
munity and thus the Board would not be able to base its refuse disposal method
on such a plan. The Board instead recommended that Camp, Dresser & McKee consider
possible sites for sanitary landfill operations, but not to devote much detail to
such study and concentrate on possible sites suitable for an incinerator facility
within the district Mr Heaney and Mr Baker said they were interested in the
Board's ideas and will make their evaluation of the sites in accord with the
Board's wishes
A meeting of the Board will be held on June 24, at Weston, Mass to discuss
