At this time Mrs. Smith asked the Engineer for figures for
test borings at the Castle Point Landfill in regard to its
closure. Whatever information he was prepared to give them
would then be discussed at the work shop following this meeting.
He informed them that Chazen Environmental Services completed
the subsurface investigation and it was accepted by the P.E.C.
They had expended approximately $8,000 less than authorized.
The State now wants them to do soil work on the top 12 inches
and analyze it to determine if it is the proper soil for
closure. A suitable cap now has to be placed over the landfill
and Mr. Paggi explained that they are trying to convince the
State that the cap is there --the proper amount and is the proper
consistency that the water will run off of it, not into it. The
cost for Chazen Environmental Services to do this work is
$4,500. It is still a lesser amount than anticipated. The Town.
has 1.00 days to submit this information, starting from the date
of the receipt of the letter which was August. 4, 1992.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the expenditure quoted by
Chazen Environmental Services, to effectuate the closing and
capping of the Castle Point Landfill, based on the information
provided by the Engineer to the Town.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Smith received the State bid for the Supervisor's car
and asked the Board to consider what action they wished to
take -- act on bid, get additional bids or table it to next
year. Mrs. Visconti made a motion to go out to bid for
additional figures, however, Mr. Mills expressed his opinion
that he wanted to know what he was voting for and preferred
that they had specs available for their review.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to table action on this matter pending
further information on specs for Supervisor's car.
Seconded by Mr. Mills Motion Unanimously Carried.
