Uh, first on the agenda is public comments. Anybody in the in the public have any general comments? >> Yeah, Mr. Chairman, come on up. State your name for the record, please. >> Alan Russo, 21 Spring Road. This is a
coffee fuse. >> Thank you. Also, I'm going to bottom to the sludge landfill with my property at 500 Notre Dame Road following my comments relative to the gardener sludge landfill enforcement order. Bullet point one, thank you for keeping the sludge
landfill enforcement order open and for continuing to monitor the site. Number two, to date, I've seen no updates relative to Mass D's March 10th wastewater facility inspection form indicating the sludge landfill is not in
compliance. If you recall, the comments section cited an outdated 2016 on&m plan, Mccclure Engineering not inspecting outfalls, and BMP's not being followed. Since March, has the on manual
been updated and reviewed with D for compliance? Bullet point number four, over the next few months, we can expect slope vegetation going dormant, freezing temperatures, and more precipitation. These conditions increase the risk of
slope erosion and further releases to the abuing wetlands. And lastly, I respectfully urge you to keep the enforcement open and to continue your ongoing monitoring. Thank you. Thank you.
>> All right. Uh, first on the agenda are the meeting minutes. Would someone like to make a motion to approve the meeting minutes of November 10th, 2025? >> I'll make that motion. >> You want to second that motion? >> Second. >> All in favor? I
>> so is approved. Uh certifications none. >> Um oh do you have one last minute emergency certification? Um thank you for reminding me.
Um I'll just I'll just pass it down to pass it around. So >> that was emailed to us too. >> It was Yeah, it was late. >> Late just Yeah, >> it came in late. Yeah, I I just issued it today, so I do apologize. But um so
so um around Achan Street um near some few still active sewer easements. um where Mahoney Brook is. Um the beavers are active again, but instead of
setting a giant pile of sticks in the same spot, they've gone downstream to where one group of wetlands meets with mainstream Mahoneybrook. And just at the lip of that connection is where there's now a new abutment that is impounding
>> about three 3 and 1/2 ft high at this point. Um and so in order to return the flow to natural or to its normal hydraologic conditions, DPW
wanted to breach the dam. Um again for the main reason of just making sure that none of the in place sewage infrastructure has any chance of being over encumbered or wrong by rising water
levels but also so not a lot of flooding happens upstream stonation. So so we issued a emergency as a result. >> Okay. Anybody have any questions or comments?
>> No. >> Vote to eradicate or to sign it? >> Uh yes. Um the >> are they still trapping? >> Um they don't have a person, you know, they had they had they should do it.
They've been doing it for a while. They haven't they're not doing it anymore. >> Yeah. No, they don't have anyone on staff that is >> qualified to try. qualified to trap and it and it also requires a specific permit from mass fish and wildlife as
well kind of thing. So as to not harm the beavers and to just yeah just to return it to normal hydraologic conditions. Yep. >> I see the picture of where it was and
everything. >> Yeah. Someone like to make a a motion to approve emergency search for Lean Street Mahoney Brook area. Make a motion to someone like to second that >> second.
>> All in favor? >> Approve. Next on the agenda are enforcement orders. The first one is the sludge landfill. Um I don't know if anybody had a chance to look at all the inspection reports. Um I did I know we briefly
talked about it, but I'm still looking through them and I just I don't understand some of them when they go past then fail. like what is in the wetlands pass and fail and it says the explanation silk fence. I know at one point didn't I talk about changing the
silk fence out with something that is a little bit more rigid and they have that wire built into the back so it won't cave in. >> Yep. Because that seems to be coming up then road conditions was another one
that said fail on a couple of these. So we could >> get clarification. >> But like this one here says wetlands pass and field. No explanation. >> Is it in two sets of handwriting? >> 33125. >> 331. So
>> then it says what? No, they're just both xed. Someone's just pen whipping these things. Pencil whipping them. They just go. But we need to know what this is again. Road conditions for pass and fail. But there's a comment there. They regraded it. But when I see the one lines pass and fail, I think they need
to change the sil fence out especially for the winter with that something has a I think I gave you that cut sheet or whatever number. >> It's got like a mesh screen in the back. Another one right here. The next next one right here. 47 wetlands pass and
fail. No no explanation. >> No no no location. >> No no no explanation. It says down here like usually it'll say what it is. >> Okay. >> But it just says this one says pass. So did they fix something between then?
And then wetlands pass fail ongoing. And it's always this guy either is it Mike T that does it. So I'd like to kind of figure out what that really means. Like what are they doing when it pass fail and then next week it passes.
I like when they put comments what they do on the other one. >> We could certainly ask for um comments for especially for the incidents where they fail. >> Yeah. >> And then what it's great that they pass it later, but yeah, like you said, what did they actually do? >> Yeah. Also, we need to get those fails
in a more timely manner, >> right? >> Yeah. So, they so fencing down on um um Parker's pond of the conservation area there. >> Yeah. is up in his center collapse
when I walked in. You must have seen it on the left hand side. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah, I will. >> So, Justin, I think we also should be seeing those reports >> every time they do them, >> you know. We shouldn't get batches and batches maybe every every
>> Yeah. No, give us even if it's a month at a time. >> Yeah. I think it should be done every time. Just keep it simple and also >> because if there's a fail, we need to know what's going on there. >> Yeah. I mean, we're getting them. energy is so old that we can't even we don't have a say in what they're doing. We don't know what they're doing
and we don't know. By the time we figure it out, it's too late. I mean, may Justin, you may need to like ping them every week. >> All right. Send us your report. >> Just send an email saying we'd like them to send weekly. >> Yeah. >> And then if they don't, then you start
sending reminders over and over or do an automatic in your Outlook. >> Yeah. Jason, just keep dragging your your telephone and we'll we'll get away with they'll never catch up with us. >> All right, let's keep this open. Someone like to make a motion to continue the enforcement on the sledge landfill.
Let's push it to January 26 of 2026. >> I'll make that motion. >> Someone to second the motion. >> I'll second. >> All in favor? >> Move is approved. >> Nicole Terrace and Brookside Drive will both continue to 511 2026. Yeah.
Request for determination of applicability for 31 travelers. I'm not going to read all these verbatim, but they reached out and they asked for a continuence. When do you want to continue that? You want to go to the um the 8th or the 12th?
>> Um let's go to the 12th. >> Okay. >> Okay. Someone like to make a motion to u continue 31 Travers to our January 12th, 2026 meeting. >> Yes, I will. I'll make that motion. So, want to second that motion? >> Second.
>> All in favor? I approve. >> Um, notice of intent. 827 Green Street. Again, I'm not going to read the whole thing for Gamma, but they asked for a continuence as well. Did they ask for >> They asked for the ETH. >> Okay. >> Now, we just wait for the DP numbers up.
>> Yes. >> Yeah. Would uh someone like to make a motion to continue 827 Green Street until December 8th, 2025? make that motion. >> Want to second that motion? >> I'll make that motion. I'll make that second. >> All in favor?
>> So move is approved. >> Um 170 Mil Street 16058. It's been continued for a while. What do you have for an update on that? >> That's continued to the >> Oh yeah, to the eight. Sorry.
Um the nature trail. Uh we did get a communication back from um water and wetland. Um no actually I'm sorry from Glenn >> Kaskki. Anybody have any questions or comments on that document? Did you see it? >> No. I don't see anything about the oaks
that died >> about >> the trees. Yeah. >> Yeah. I didn't see that either. >> Yeah. >> I thought that would be like the first thing. >> Yeah. >> The dead oak trees. I I think that Glenn was brought onto the project particularly for
>> Yeah, Glenn's only doing the the wetlands. >> Yeah, he's only doing the wetland. >> But yeah, >> I thought the trees I thought that was worked out or they're coming back in the spring. >> Yeah. So, yeah, they're going to be replanted in the ground.
>> What's when they replanted? Can you find out who's going to maintain these so we don't keep having the same problem? >> Yep. So Glenn's basically saying that they're going to come back out in the spring with a thicker cover. I almost think they should leave that one and put the
other one over it, not even peel it up again. Right. >> I think that's what he said. Is that what he >> is that what he said? >> I think it's what he tends to do. Yeah. Supplemented with a thicker tart material. >> Yeah. We'll keep an eye on that. >> What's the update on anybody have any
questions or comments on on that? on the next trail. >> Hopefully we have a normal year here. I mean, we won't have that all that dry. >> Yeah. That was emailed. I don't know if you guys all saw it, but other than that Oh, this one.
>> Yeah. Kendall Bond Aquatic Man. Actually, Purley Brook Culbert, what do you got for an update? >> Nothing yet. >> Nothing yet. No, >> but last week our last meeting, we did get an update. >> We did get a pretty decent one. >> Okay. under new business Kendall pond year end report. Do you have any
highlights you want to go over or anything? >> I don't have anything outstanding because yeah, it's just a yearly monitoring for bad treatment. They do a goodation. Yeah, Lauren Wings does a pretty good
job. They're doing their thing. Um but yeah, I'll probably be in contact with them cuz trying to think how long their extension is. It might be another two or 3 years. >> I think you want three. Did it say? I think it did. >> Yeah. I I think I think we'll have to go
back to the project cuz that's I think that's project number 282 on our thing. That's a pretty old project. Um yeah, it's one of it's one of the only D file numbers that you know that I've
seen that's gone for nearly two decades >> thing. So, yeah, it's a unique one, but >> it's got a cell number on here, too. >> Same. Uh, next time your new business is a utility notification for Mass Electric Company. Any update on that? Anybody
have any questions or anything? >> Yep. standard um agent report. Do you have any highlights from the agent report you want to go over Justin? >> Um so um both NOI projects received their
received their orders of conditions that we passed from last week. Um and they were all certified mailed as of last Wednesday. Um, in addition to all the stuff that we currently have
under our for you, I was able to locate a another data set from the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs um, NOI portal um, that is a lot more
complete than our current catalog. And so I'm going to be working on transcribing a lot of that data into our catalog in order to make sure that we get a lot closer to being where we need to be so far as getting a part of the department.
It's not it's not 100%. But it'll at least get us up to date from case number 165 which I think was back in like either the mid 80s to early 90s. So that's that's a
big step. Um and then um the director has been talking that we might have um a little bit of extra funding um in order to be able to digitize or support a
digitizing project for the entire department. So, we're going to hopefully be able to work out um at least the really big daunting task of getting everything on file and getting it organized. So,
>> there might be a third party that comes in and does it. >> There might be a third party that comes in and helps us to to do that. So, um I am waiting on, you know, finals on that, but it does get me very excited because that's going to allow for us to get to where we need to be a lot quicker than
otherwise. So, >> I would suggest make sure you get third party quotes cuz it's incredibly can be incredibly cheap and like so it's like so worth it. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Um Yeah. And in the meantime, I'll also try to come up with a template just so that when they're
handling, especially our files specifically, you know, there's going to be a certain way that we're going to want to sort them so they're universally, you know, easy to navigate kind of thing. So, I'll make sure that I I do a
step by step on how to do that as well. So, and that's Oh, and um and I've been working with our um GIS court coordinator um Maggie Weinberg, who is
is a is a whiz with geographic information systems. um she's been helping to update a lot of the GIS data layers that the city uses in our day-to-day and she's been hard at work trying to revise the conservation layers
um particularly um some of the additives that we want to use in our in our wetlands layers um because before a lot of those double or a lot of those colored overlays that we
use Um, we're revising the color schemes so it's not a reverse traffic light anymore. It's actually going to emulate, you know, at least restrictive to restrictive properly. And she was also able to find a data layer that allows
for us to disseminate between a lot of the more upto-date perennial versus intermittent stream. So, it's going to be a lot easier for us to determine when we're looking at, you know, potential building permits as to what truly lies within jurisdiction. And we'll have a
little bit easier of a time working with people to, you know, get them on the right path. And, you know, even even sometimes, you know, you know, avoid some of the more at sometimes more questionable calls when it comes to, you know, figuring out permitting. So yeah,
very excited to do my back. >> Three years. >> Yeah, we should potentially and she is shooting to have the new version of the conservation layer um up and running hopefully by the early part of the new year, not first, you
know, anticipating potentially first quarter. So yeah, >> thank you. Um, professional development. >> Anything going on there? >> I I have nothing for professional development yet. >> And we have our upcoming meetings in
December 8th and January 12th. Anybody else have any other new business they want to discuss? >> I was just curious if anybody attended that MAC. >> I did not make it. Did you go? >> No, I did not. I want to help with that. >> Anybody have anything they want to
discuss? Anybody in the audience? Uh, one thing I'll bring up. I did send an email over to you, uh, Mr. Chairman, also to Agent Enright. Uh, there is an NLP uh, event. It's going to be an initial planting at the grassland.
>> Uh, I forget the name of the species for this one species. They're going to have a little bonfire, some refreshments. All the public is open. And first thing I thought was make sure that everybody here got an invite to that. If you're available on December 7th, that would be Pearl Harbor Day, I think. But it's a
Sunday afternoon from 2 to 3:30. Uh should be a nice event. The last event we had out there, you drew about 30 people. Um so, uh it's just good to see community support. But interestingly, we get a lot of people from the whole region of North County Trust through our
distribution. We want to see more local folks and we certainly love to have you guys there. So, if you can make it, please do. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thanks for the invite. >> All right. With that being said, someone like to make a motion to end tonight's hearings. >> I'll make that motion.
>> Somebody second that motion. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I was approved. Have a good night.
