All right, everybody. Let's let's get started. First uh agenda item, public comment. Anybody have any uh items they discuss that are on the agenda or not on the agenda for tonight's meeting? Take that as a no. Uh meeting minutes,
none at this time. Emergency certifications, none at this time. Request for the certificate of compliance, none at this time. Under enforcement order is the sludge landfill which has been continued to 810 20226. Uh next on the enforcement on our agenda is 36 Nicole Terrace which is a
continuence. Would somebody like to come up? State your name for the record please. >> Marian Pinto, Three Oaks Environmental. >> How you doing today? >> I'm doing well. How are you doing? >> All right. Uh
since our last meeting, uh uh Ashro has hired someone to $2 to $5,000 to cut up the rest of the trees. There was an understanding that we had that there was to no cutting within 30
ft or in the wetland uh at the time. So we were discussing that back and forth and we were left with the impression that that wood was to remain and be cut slowly by hand which uh he physically couldn't do on his own. So he hired
someone most of the materials out of there couple of little logs that are like tucked way deep in the wetland and that's not it's not advisable to the trees are growing really well. It's
really cleaned up nicely. Um, lots of stump sprouts and the stuff that we planted is most of it's viable at this point. >> What do you mean by most? What percentage? >> I'd say 90% of them. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Go ahead. >> Can I just clarify? Um, so at one point
I think you plan like 40, right? So you do you think at least 30? It'd be nice to know the real numbers, but >> yeah, that's why >> that's because that's usually what how we assess whether >> we want at least like 30 of the 40 to remain viable. >> Probably 35 35 plants are viable.
>> That's pretty good. That's real good. And that's that's you're not including the stump sprouts, right? >> I'm not going to include the stump sprouts. We have blueberries out there. So, we have shrubs and trees. They've been planted. They're doing really well >> cuz this time of year I mean >> was a drug
>> and it's probably the other five I couldn't find or they died. It was >> we marked them. So it was 535. >> Okay. What else you have for an update? >> Uh you have some photographs and uh at this point
uh everything's been removed. The trees are growing and we're looking to have this the enforcement art closed out. I would just see it >> to agree. >> What do you have? There's a stack of
they they split some wood and a stack there. I I think that should be removed. >> It's at the toe of the slope. He's burning it. He's using it for his outdoor fire pit. >> So, yeah. The toe of the slope. I don't agree.
>> Backyard, >> but it's out of the out of the air. >> It's out of this out of out of our jurisdiction. That's fine. >> Yeah. >> It's not Has this been removed recently? >> Yes. >> We found it outside of the zone. >> That's fine.
>> So, the erosion controls are not removed yet. You're waiting. >> Not yet. We're waiting for permission to do that. And uh what I'm going to have him do is split the uh the wild and spread the straw and um remove the soil fencing, roll it up.
It's in great shape um to be reused by another project. >> I might use some of it for my shallow well, but anyway. >> Yeah. >> Do you guys have any questions from the commission or anything? Any
other further comments? >> In much better shape. >> Yeah, I think it looks fine. >> The brush piles themselves have been decomposing and you won't even notice them in another year or so.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Thank you. Anybody have any concerns about lifting the enforcement? >> No, not at this point. >> On your side, someone would like to make a motion to the approve the uh release
of the enforcement order for 36 Nicole Terrace. >> I will make the motion provided the uh >> Yep. Yeah, she's >> Thank you, Brian. >> Yes, I like to second that. >> Second. >> All in favor? All move is approved. Thank you.
>> Uh the next one is 282 Brookside Drive which was a continuum as well. What do you have for an update on that? the uh we want to make sure after last meeting that everything is still surviving and it all is. Everything is growing and the uh black cherries have
planted red maple uh and there's stump sprouts and uh what's coming back in. >> Did we did we talk about putting markers out there so he knows his boundary lines now? >> Uh it's property line. I I did put stakes out. There are some stakes at
that point. I >> I thought we didn't ask him how he survived surveyed. I think he was mind we asked. >> He did have the line surveyed in their stakes, >> but I just said it was done. I just didn't know what they put on. >> Yeah, we put some green stakes in it along the property line. >> Okay.
>> This is true. >> That looks like a black cherry. >> So, you understand your property lines now and you know where they are. >> Yeah. I had a question. Go ahead. >> So, um, North Carolina Land Trust all on board. >> They were happy last time she was here.
I just want to make sure as far as previous corresponds. >> It's not just >> they were all right with the previous actions that were done on the property so far as trying to >> How are the planning how are the plants doing with his been watering them? He he purchased much
larger ones as well and he's been watering them during the drought and the plantics are going to do really well. >> How many survived? >> All of them. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Come on. And then some. >> Any concerns of lifting commission
members on two and two? >> No. You guys good? Someone would like to make a motion to lift the enforcement order for 22 Brookside Drive. >> Make a motion. Someone like to second that second. >> Thank you. All in favor? >> Move is approved.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you for working with us. >> Take care. >> Uh the next is a cease and desist for 86 Lynwood Street and E hearing. Um the requested the owner of the property and scientist requested a continuence.
So that looks like our next date is July. What? What? July. What? uh the convenience for Lynwood. >> Yeah. >> Um they asked for the second meeting of July, which I believe is the 22nd. 27th. 27. >> Yeah.
>> Someone like to make a motion to continue 86 Lynwood Street to uh July 27th. >> I'll make that motion. >> Make a second now. >> Second. >> July 27th 12th. >> This No, the second one in July they ask. >> Okay.
>> So make some move. You got it. Second. >> Yeah. >> So is approved. All in favor? >> I. Thank you. >> Uh cease and desist for nine Crawford Street Neo hearing. Any update on that? For the record, please.
John Dylan. Well, scientific product consulting here for that property I've just said. So I'm back. This is unchanged. The plan is unchanged. So I have established some watering criteria, maintenance criteria getting our prior stated
commitments in writing for you guys. You can see that at the bottom of the second page and specifying minimum 2 to three foot height which is a standard size for all nurseries 2 to 3 foot and it goes 3 to 5 and 5 to 8. So that specifying water schedule in accordance with any
municipal you know regulations in accordance with the travel regular water schedules like before 9 or after 5 or six only all that and you provided a schedule for that to establish species
>> and that's kind of a long new fence up a new fence is going I don't think we specify there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> But no, we're not we're not specifying that at the time. So >> that fence is still there where where it was. >> The remainder of shape. Yeah, >> that fence was allated probably three weeks ago. >> You hear that?
>> Yeah. >> Three weeks ago. >> Yeah. I have no other questions about the >> Anybody have any comments, concerns at all? >> I have one. >> Go ahead. When I get in here to do this work,
is there an issue with I mean, do I have to apply for a permit to get in there and do the work or is this going to cover that? >> The enforcement will act as a work order in order for you to be able to do the work because it'll be covered under it'll be covered under restoration
clauses and enforcement. So, yeah, that that it'll be covered by this same document. So yeah, no, there won't be another there won't be a request for determination or a notice of intent required for that. So yeah, this this will cover it. Great question.
>> As long as you can tell when you're doing it when you start again. >> Yeah, as long as we just make sure. >> Yeah, I'll give you a heads up. >> Yeah, >> do you know when you guys plan to start? see that over there within a week. >> Yeah. Actually have a question about the um the
st if there's enough stump sprouts and what the plan is with those. >> Um I did not see any kind of serious stump sprouts at the time. Um really the majority of what was cut like at least 50% was already dead and there was a lot of you know green ash like nor maple
kind of stuff. >> Yeah. Um there really only two or three good things that you know were cut and I didn't at the time I mean there's still time obviously right sometimes it takes another whole year for them to really start doing that and they're only cut like mid late March or something like >> yeah I just want to make sure you know
but there are some sprouts they're not going to be >> yeah they're not they're not going to be removed I know I understand that you don't want trace but >> nope that's totally positive >> anybody have any further comments or questions concerns >> I think there's some daily lilies
growing in there right now. >> There you go. >> Now give it a call. >> Yeah. >> All right. So, we're going to vote on releasing the cease and desist and >> the vote to um vote to
>> Yeah. close the EO hearing and assuming everybody is satisfied with the plan. It would be to >> Yeah. It would be to um issue the enforcement order with associated materials being the approved plan for
the remediation and the um and subsequent um report detailing the actual the actual situation. >> Y would someone like to make a motion to close the hearing on Nine Pro Street? >> Make that motion.
>> Some like to second that motion. >> Second. >> All in favor? I voted is approved. >> Thank you for your time everybody. >> Thanks. >> Thank you to issue. >> Yeah. Now we're going to have a vote to issue the approvals to proceed with the
recommendations per the guard consulting memorandum and um planning and planting. Someone like to make a motion to approve that. >> Can can we put some addendum in there about not cutting down any sprouts if they seedings they do have?
I think we could do that. We could get a hold of them when we send this in just one reminder discussed. >> But at least there really wasn't much there at all. >> Yeah, there stuff coming in naturally. >> Yeah. Yeah.
So, I'd like to make a motion to approve uh the plan presented by D design and the associated attachments. This is part of the site memorandum that was issued and it has a date of 518 2026. >> I'll make that motion. >> Second that motion. >> Second.
>> All in favor? >> I move is approved. >> Uh 170 Mil Street. That's going to be continued uh for discussion at this time. Let's continue to 72726. Under new business is the water and wetland treatment notification and
permit for Kendall pond. >> Yes, we did receive a recent update um regarding the pond treatment that one. Um >> this is part of one of those long
continued NOI cases. I believe it's from back in the 280 cases. >> Yeah, >> it's it's been over 20 years consistent >> course that they've been doing. >> We've been doing it forever, >> right? Um so they they were just doing
>> part of their treatment this month. They have to every couple years they have to come and either get extension or refile. Um >> P does preface that you know not all and wise are you know indefinitely
continue kind of thing. So, um, at some point, you know, it might be good for the commission to get in contact with them to discuss whether or not it is viable for just a standard extension or whether new filing
should be put together eventually just because over the course of 20 years, you know, you could have change in practice or >> was this the one when was the last time they came before us? I believe the last time they came to Corus was 2020.
Is that 25? >> It might have been 25. We asked if there was better chemicals that are newer than what they've been using. >> So, they used to do it every year at one time.
>> What's the um what's what's the state's role in that? Um you are they are you know what I'm asking asking you are they they have their pulse on what I would assume they have a pulse on >> yeah they do have a pulse >> and so would they say well we don't have
to use this instead of >> I'm sure I'm sure there's lines of guidance also addressed by >> that if something came out better than what they >> Yeah because that's all that's beyond our chemistry. Yeah, I think we asked them. That's what it was either 25 24 25. That's why I was asked because it
sounds familiar. I remember them coming before us >> and the rep came too and he was the same rep we used to see at the MACC shows and we asked if there was anything better than what they propose every year. >> Not yet. >> But yeah, it's a good discussion though.
>> Is it do they do it every year? I don't >> I don't remember. They come before us but I don't remember. Was every year every other year or I see the agent report. I didn't print out an extra copy for myself. >> I asked for too many favor.
>> So, this is for like river or other vegetation that's considered to be nuisance vegetation. >> Yeah. I forget I forget if I forget that
we drill a little some of those ones. >> Yeah. Thanks. >> But um yeah, what's the next >> report? Okay, cool. Um we also got a additional photo log
from the C group. on the impact of national grid. Um because of the size of the project, you know, they've >> opted to do multiple sequences per second project. So every time the national grid does
does a phase, they're going to be doing an initial erosion control installation photo log and they're going to be doing continuous monitoring while they while National Grid does the work. um the commission has any questions during
or in between periods from some of the signals that they get. I'm more than happy to relay communications between parties. Um yeah,
>> how come they don't dig theirs down? >> You just sit on top. That's a good question because depending on the circumstance it should be. >> Well, that's why I'm asking you what the difference is. I don't remember the drawings cuz it's been a while.
But for right now, I mean, this could just be, you know, can you just take a beat? >> Yeah, I think it's I mean CC is great to work with. They probably you probably know the rules when it is, but normally that's been more of a standard these
days. >> Yeah. Yeah. We can reach out to them. Yes. >> How how many people here have been out to look at that wash out? >> See the cold? No, the wash out on the
bike. I been out there. >> Have anybody out there? >> The culbert. >> Yeah, >> that's what I been to the culvert. I thought I just cover you said no. Yeah. Hi you know, national national grid, they they don't
take us serious. I mean, they never have. They probably never will. Right. Now, they they they got they got the state to say it was an emergency. Now, if some kid goes out there and gets hurt, I wonder what it'll be then. >> We brought that up already that it's it's a danger.
>> Yeah, it is. >> It is. And and the woman I I I don't know what her name was. I don't know where she was from, but she was giving a slip service. Oh, there's nothing. No, no problem. She went down, looked, and she walked away. I was there. He was there.
Was somebody else? It was It was a She She brought somebody else with her. >> Well, that was the director. The director came out, you know, >> but we made it a point that we were concerned about somebody getting hurt on her, which >> And it's going to happen. >> And it wouldn't be just kids. >> No, no, I'm just saying a lot of adults
who use that for >> bike. Sure. The only reason they haven't fixed it is they don't need to fix it because they're working on the other side. >> That was what they said they were going to fix it on the way out, right? >> Yeah. >> They were looking at at other avenues to fix it while they're there.
>> It's not It's not a half fix. >> No. >> Get Get a machine in there, a big machine, and do your thing and replace it. >> Replace it. Get Let it drain off and and do it. It's not, you know, it's not like uh something on 495 or or the interstates or something. come into
contact with it. Yeah, I know. >> Well, they'd have to do an right. That's why it hasn't been done, >> right? Emergency. There also has to be a 401 water quality because it takes place in an outstanding resource water >> and it takes a long time for those to
>> they haven't started yet as far as you're aware that it >> well I haven't received a engineered plan for what they're thinking of the actual cover replacement but while they're thinking of work in there it does take a while for some of those initial some of those other permits that
we're also waiting on word from as Well, cuz some of those kind of like at the golf course, you know, the permit that they >> were waiting on, you know, that takes sometimes up to 6 months for >> Can you reach out to us and ask for an update on their Thank you.
>> Yep. I can do that. >> Yeah. Send us in the mail. >> Yep. >> Within the next two weeks. >> You know, the other thing is, you know, this part of our water supply, we drink that water and that's, you know, that's like, well, you know, whatever. Yeah. >> Yeah. We'll send it and ask for an update. Yeah. I I you know I I don't I
think they're dragging their feet because they >> they want to fix it when they're out there and they don't want they wanted an emergency and it wasn't an emergency. >> Yeah. >> If it was an emergency, they should have fixed it a year ago, six, eight months ago. >> Can we start finding them? >> What? Find a national grid. >> Yeah. >> Um probably could. We don't have that
full that process in place yet. It's been brought up numerous times and kind of been dead and dead ended writing an actual legal enforcement, but it's fine. >> Okay. >> Y >> So, we'll get an update, see
>> anything else on your agent report you want to go over? >> Uh, I do have that one update. >> Go ahead. >> Might as well. Um, so I know that I sent have a little bit of correspondence earlier today, but um to make it
official, um this is going to be my last meeting with the commission. Um you know, I yeah, I have to step away from the position and um reassess a couple variables um you know, on the personal
side. Um, but it's been an honor to serve alongside you guys and I really appreciate the opportunity to, you know, to grow with you both, you know, doing work with the commission and with the department as a whole. So,
thank you guys. >> Wish the best. >> THANKS FOR all right. um one of the commission members would like to discuss um a meeting that she attended regarding the North Central Pathway Extension. Take it away.
>> Thanks. So, this was a Zoom that was sponsored by Mass DOT last Tuesday on June 16th. And what I've given um the commissioners is a series of screenshots that I took during the Zoom. um there seem to be about 12 presenters and only
about nine members of the public um attending. So the basic thing is this is where we ended with the nature trail behind the other substation. This would continue the trail from there
to the broken culbert and the other substation um 1.45 miles. >> I got it. I'll get it. 12 feet wide asphalt. Um and um
the proposed of course like we were talking about National Grid's doing the poll thing this year. So, the project is anticipating that they're going to do all the permits and the paperwork next year in 2027
with a forecast of doing the work, starting the work in the summer and fall of 2028 and going through two construction seasons. So, this is the next leg of that trail. Then the subsequent leg which would be
the pedestrian bridge over 140 would go out for bids in 2027. Mass DOT is going to be um the project manager for this and Ty and Bon is involved. Um which is nice because they
did the other part. Um something to point out um is that uh at the Park Street crossing um they're going to put they're planning to put an a formal crosswalk with
pedestrian lights. Um try to get the line of sight a little better for drivers coming from downtown because the road curves there. Yeah. >> Um maybe take some trees down. probably will lose that a lot of that parking
area on the golf course side of that that road. Um it was mentioned during this presentation that preserving parking was not a goal of the project. Uh which is too bad. Um and they said,
you know, well, if somebody wants to really park, you know, there's all that parking at the south end of Crystal Lake. And I'm like, well, that's two miles away. >> Okay. No. So anyway, so this is the next leg of all of this. Um
and um there you go. If you have questions, let me know. I may not have answers, but uh it was interesting to hear uh and interesting to see, you know, pretty much our backyard
on the slides and um places that we know. Uh, and as you can see in one of their pictures, one of their um sample pictures from another trail, anytime there's um a drop off on either side of
the trail, they'll put a a rail bridge. >> Um, which we do have a little bit of one or two on the existing trail that we just did. >> Are they going where that little foot narrow foot path is or are they going to go up on this the slope of power lines?
They're doing this is the >> I mean right uh by Pearly Brook, right? >> By Pearly Brook. >> East of Pearly Brook. >> Yeah, they're doing the old rail trail. It's the old rail. >> Okay. But but it's pretty narrow when you're like right just back from the cemetery. >> Oh, it's going to be It's But it's not
going up that side of the cemetery. >> It's going down the new nature trail. Gotcha. >> All right. Yeah, that makes sense. >> To Okay. >> Yeah. Gotcha. >> Yeah. >> Oh, I know. which is right next to and most of it is right away for National Grid.
>> Okay. >> Uh and so um so they have to wait for the polls to be done first obviously. >> Yeah. >> So when is the actual bridge going to be proposed? >> So the bids would go out in out for bids
on 2027. >> Okay. So 2030 >> 89 >> long way away. Seems like a long way away. I mean it's not. >> Don't worry. It'll be handicap accessible.
>> Yeah. >> But I mean, look at how much of a project that's going to be because that's level land there and they're going to have to slope >> on either side like they did in conquered uh and for their their recent
most recent trails. You can see on two and two. >> Yeah, do a good job with that one as they did in Keen, too. >> I know. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Ke did a nice job with the trails. >> Yeah, >> they do a nice job. It takes a long time. >> Yeah, >> it takes a lot of planning obviously.
>> They don't pay me though. >> Ke the athletic track. It's not paid. >> No, yours isn't either. >> No, they don't spend the money. >> Yeah. Once this is all done, you could take your bike and you could go all the
way to Bellis Falls if you want. >> If you want >> because all of New All of New Hampshire's part is done. >> It's not paved. >> It's not. >> It's not paved, but it's >> It doesn't have to be paid.
>> No, it doesn't have to be. It's It's kind of like the way ours is now. It's kind of like the way Parley Brook is now, except Pearly Brook's got this big size gravel that's hard on feet. Not so bad on on tires, but it's hard on feet. Um,
>> right. Did they mention it? Was there any discussion at all about ebikes? >> Did they what? >> Is there any discussion at all on about ebikes? >> They don't know how to handle ebikes yet as as a as a >> I mean, I was out the the man YMCA and just it was crazy. I mean, you don't
hear there's a grand something as a holy on the roads around here. everywhere. Yeah, >> that's the thing. They don't they don't we don't I think they don't know all the rules on the road either of what they're supposed to do on the road either. I have had trail hikers complain to me
that they'd like a sign that said some like watch for hikers or something because because they do come up behind you without something. >> Yeah. Yeah. I don't know about >> I don't know the solution about that.
>> Yeah. There's a bunch of them in around town now. And there's kids that are just literally think it's the dirt bikes. They just drive around the streets with >> them. >> There's no regulation. I've already asked. >> No, >> there is. The cops on the police on the Facebook group did didn't put something
out and I think somebody was hit right Mon Park. >> Oh, really? What did they say? >> Um, aren't they >> No sidewalks. Uh, you have sidewalks. I'm assuming bike paths, too. Um, but didn't say that. They did say something. >> Yeah, that's a path. That's the problem.
>> Yeah. >> And a trail. >> Oh, I see. Yeah. >> So, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. >> It depends on the size of the motor. >> Yeah. Well, they all know to keep them clean, but you know, they buy the ones that aren't the larger size and >> you know, the run time. It's amazing to me. They've been killed in 140.
>> Oh, I know. >> I mean, you know, you got a chicken. >> You got a tractor trailer coming down there at 60 m an hour. >> You know, he can't stop anyways. So, you know, it's like, wow, I think we'll just borrow time. >> Yeah.
>> I mean, a lot of people know it, so they partly if they start, >> right? >> But there's a lot of people in town that don't know that, >> right? >> You know, >> anybody ever did business they want to discuss. >> One one more thing. Uh Jeff,
>> uh the the the trees that died on the on the uh >> the nature, did they >> do something with them or what? So, the director went out with the contractor last Thursday to
actually show them the trees that were >> dead. >> Dead. >> Yeah. >> Um, and they're opting to replant them in the spring so they have a full growing season. They'll still be under the warranty, but after that,
after they attempt another time, they're they're going to probably have to talk to the commission about an alternative if the if the warranty trees fail. >> Why would they do it now? >> It's already been a year. >> Well, right now wouldn't work.
>> They held back money. >> Did they hold back money? >> Supposedly, we're going to hold back money. 5% or whatever. >> That's retainage. But I thought I heard somebody released that money already. >> Same thing they did at the school. >> Yeah. They don't ask anybody to just
release it. >> Well, do we have that in writing that they're going to plant them in another year? >> That they're going to plant them in the spring. I can ask the director. >> Yeah. Ask and copy the commission on >> any other
who who ever released it. What are we supposed to do now? That's why I'm asking. Why can't we plant them now and put the bags around? >> That's what I'm saying. >> Seems ridiculous to wait another year. >> Can you find out? >> They're messed up. >> Plant them now with the bags and then have them water the plants. >> I was just at the library today and you
know they're doing all that work on street. They were planting trees today. >> We're talking two trees, right? >> Six. >> Okay. And yet they're kind of isolated kind of >> you know and you just asked about
planting and get the bags in maintaining more with water and >> I have >> we're starting to break that cycle obviously with rain now. the past what last Thursday for. >> So I mean it's dry next spring. We don't do it then either. >> I mean that's what I'm thinking like
>> he's already got his money. >> Somebody's going to forget. >> That's my other thought. >> We're not going to forget but somebody else is going to forget. >> You know this city is notorious for never following up really of all you say of all the construction we've seen right
it it and there's always something left and it never it never falls. Nothing. >> It happens a lot. I don't want to do it. >> We get this where somebody's released the money which they had no right to do. >> Maybe did it come to us before. Can you just confirm that there was no there was
money held back? But I believe somebody already told me that the retainer was released. >> All right. Anybody else have anything else? >> No. Some like to make a motion in tonight's hearing. >> Yeah. >> I'll make that motion. want to second
that motion. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Yeah. >> All right.
