Yarmouth, MA. spoke before the Board to voice their objections and concerns with the Board of Health Reg on Turf Care and Plant Regulator Applicators. Their major concern was the formation BOARD OF HEALTH Page 3 June 6, 1991 local reg which is a duplication of State law and FIFRA (Fed. law), which they adhere to at present. One of these gentlemen also represented MALCAP, Mass. Assoc. for Lawncare Professions. They came to communicate- -not to be adverserial, and asked for the Board's rationale in creating such a reg. Response by Board: To create a more local source of into for Mansfield residents, size and color of sign- -too small, possibility of leak or spill (need for storm drain cover). Challenge by lawncare people: Why not regulate exterminators and tree care people? Homeowner, 75%, fertilize their own lawns (who protects neighbor then? Costly to pay fee and create new sign when some companies fertilize in up to 80 communities. Duplication for what's going on now. Member Rosenberg commented that Board has every legal right to regulator more stringent then State law. Chairman warned that the reg will have to be obeyed if they wish to continue doing business in Mansfield. 5. HEALTH AGENT'S REPORT a. Edgewood /South Main St. Area: Thirty wells in the area, fifteen are still used seasonally. Everyone has been contacted and the wells that are used have been tested. One resident refused to have his well tested. b. Bleachery: Agent and George Young, Health Agent, Foxboro, inspected the bleachery in Foxboro. No sign of oil coming out of the pipes. There was a containment area in the sleuceway behind the building, which was heavily stained with oil. No signs of oil on Rumford River, but did see a sheen, which is caused by wetland breakdown. c. Blane Chemical: Members Steele, Austin, Fontanini and Agent visited Blane Polymers Chemical Co. on North Main St. and were given a tour by the manager. d. East Mansfield Sewer Hookups: Agent suggested that members take a position re: sewer hookups for new and existing construction when the sewer lines come to East Mansfield. After discussion, Agent will present several sample motions at next meeting. 6. OLD BUSINESS a. Flouridation: Secretary telephoned Martha Wood, DPH to ask about contents of motion to order flouridation. Also, if Board orders flouridation and funding is not available, could the Town be sued. She BOARD OF HEALTH Page 4 June 6, 1991 replied that the possibility is there, but not probable. Approx. nine communities, that ordered flouridation, are waiting for funding. b. Fulton Pond: Blue /white pellets appearing on Fulton come from the Bleachery and are made of polyethelene. They do not break down, are not a contaminant and they float, Member Fontanini reported. c. Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts: Member Rosenberg reported that the first concert, May 26th, Styx, went well. Member Austin commented that he has rethought the value of the sound survey.
