Taylor, AGT Management Co., and trustees were present to hear Agent's update. A puddle still remains, but Agent feels that keeping a close eye on it could be sufficient in light of the fact that Town sewer should be ready mid - November, 1992. Ann Taylor reported that the system is pumped weekly (13,000 gal. tank and only 3,000 taken out), odor much less, washing machines still down, residents are beginning to cooperate by installing water - saving devices, and water Board of Health Page 3 June 18, 1992 counts are taken daily to keep track of water usage. Beta Engineering told the trustees that they do not want to be involved since they are contracted with the town of Mansfield. Agent suggested to hold off with any enginerring report since town sewer is on its way. b. 340 South Main St: Letter was sent to all polluted well owners, reminding them NOT to use the wells.

Chemlawn Spill: As previously reported, Agent sent letter to Pesticide Board to report the Chemlawn spill. He received a respond that was not accurately described compared to what he saw and swept up himself Agent and Board very disturbed by this, since they attempted to maintain a regulation that would handle situations like this. (Court ruled against Town.) Agent will send another letter to Pesticide Board and tell them of the inaccuracies and ask them to document their investigation. MOTION: To send the total package of correspondence to the Judge who ruled against the town of Mansfield. Rosenberg /Fontanini. All in favor.
