Discussion held regarding Landfill Closure-Mrs. Fagel present-Noted Cell One a ten acre site adjacent to
Mud Pond is approximately 90% to grade for final closure by next week it should be pretty much done...I
am suggesting that we winterize that site and not do any more construction on it until spring, in a manner
that controls erosion on the site and at the same time maximizes out environmental control...need to define
the boundary of the garbage line adjacent to the Finch Pruyn Property line...suggesting that 6" of cover
material be placed over the total site ... Mr. Naylor noted that the time is up on the bulldozer on Monday,
questioned if you want the bulldozer another month? also noted that the Highway Dept. will be working
under a hardship if it starts snowing.. .Mrs. Fagel, noted that Malcolm Purney has estimated that with the
usage of the sand rather than the geotextile we will save the Town approximately $10,000...
