Minutes Page 2
To date 14 million pounds of debris has been removed from the site. All metal, concrete and brick has been recycled. Ms. Atamian questioned the slab which DEP was supposed to test. Mr. Harrison explained that it was determined that it could be reused on site.
Mike Pallatto was present and questioned if there would be a crusher on site and if it required a permit. Mr. Gibbons stated that there will be a crusher on site and a permit is not required. Mr.
Pallatto explained that he is having a problem with Land Mark Academy as they have lost families and money and now the lease is in jeopardy.
Mr. Gibbons explained that the parents were concerned when they saw men in white suits. Mr. Gibbons had contacted the State Health Department who spoke to the parents, inspected and submitted a letter stating that there is no hazard to the children and they had recommended strict dust control measures. However, Mr. Gibbons will obtain more information on the machine that will be coming in for Mr. Pallatto.
MOTION: Mr. Gordon made a motion to approve the request by Georgetown Land Development Co. to reduce the letter of credit and to provide the applicant with 80% of the credit. Mr. Casiello seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
GEORGETOWN LAND DEVELOPMENT CO.
Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Harris were present for this application. They explained that they have constructed bins. A photo was submitted to the Commission. Mr. Gibbons believes that this was approved as part of the site plan.
They are brining the water line down off of Route 107 down the embankment and underneath the underpass. This is a high priority as the well went dry. During the excavating they need to stockpile and test the soils which may be contaminated. The trenches will be filled in with clean fill so that they don’t have to wait for the test results from the soils.
The bins are on blocks and are covered on top. They are not structures.
Mr. Pallatto is concerned with the process of soils and testing. He feels that the soil is contaminated so just remove it from the site. Mr. Gibbons explained that they do not know that the soil is contaminated and it is not as easy to move it out as it sounds. Mr. Pallatto requested that his well be tested as they are stirring up the soils. He had DEP test it in February and the results were good.
No action was taken on this by the Commission as it was incorporated with the site plan approval.
MOTION: Mr. Casiello made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:55 p.m. Mr. Gordon seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
Filed Subject to Approval,
Respectfully Submitted,
Dorothy Torres, Clerk
