VOTED Chairman Tartufo returned to meeting at 9:11 p.m. 5. HEALTH AGENT'S REPORT - Clerk Rosenberg requested a status, from Health Agent Leite, of closure of the landfill. Health Agent responded that Camp, Dresser & McKee will be writing the proposed contract for closure and capping of landfill. Chairman Tartufo requested that the Board of Health should review this proposal before it is approved. Health Agent Leite explained that in back of the Dunn's home, where leachate is broken out, it has run into the wetland and it travels around landfill to the other side, along the wetland. The concentrations are very high right where the leachate first hits the wetland, and they drop dramatically as it gets through the wetland, which is all the heavy metals falling out and the vegetation taking up a lot of the contaminents. The iron counts are still very high. The surface of deep wells have been.monitored, which have not changed drastically. Camp, Dresser & McKee will try and put patches on the breakout area's, all of that one elevation. Board of Health Minutes Page 6 June 18, 1987 Chairman Tartufo commented that Camp, Dresser & McKee made their presentation to the Board of Selectmen on June 17th. Testing was done, through the brook, swamp, etc., and samples show that leachate is dissipating, with smaller quantities as it gets further down to water. - Health Agent Leite requested clarification on new $50.00 fee for approval of septic plans (over and above the $100.00 fee for on -site sewerage testing). Chairman Tartufo responded that it takes effect when regulation was adopted (May 7, 1987), and applies to plans being submitted after regulation was adopted by the Board. - Health Agent informed the Board he will be attending a food training session on June 24th, 25th and 26th. Health Agent Leite was one of 50 people chosen by the State. - Health Agent joined the Bristol County Waste Disposal Committee. Member Fontanini requested literature from Health Agent; he may attend up- coming meeting. 6.
