a. Illicit Discharge Detection Training:
i. Jamie has scheduled training with the Planning Board, Land
Preservation and is working on creating a training program with
manuals and a power point presentation. Training with the Building
Department will take place separately since it is more detailed. Jamie
will continue to schedule training with various identified Departments.
ii. The Committee also confirmed that the police have been identified to
be trained in detection, as well as the Trustees and the CAC.
Bond/Budget - The Town Board passed the bond resolution on August
23, 2011. The resolution is subject to a permissive referendum. The time
within which a permissive referendum can be requested expires on
September 23, 2011.
Budds Pond Filter/Other Projects - Regarding the expense - the cost of
the Project including a stainless steel vault and the 200 filter bricks
recommended by the manufacturer will be over $50,000. The Committee
agreed that it would be ideal to pursue a simpler and less expensive
option of purchasing several filter bricks and have the Town design and
install a catch basin. This Project has already been approved by the
Town Board.
d. Grant Update:
Mark reported that the contract for Hashamomuck Pond has been
received by the Town. The Town Board would like to RFP the work
for the three permitted projects and Jamie will prepare the RFPs. The
Committee agreed that individual bids for each project would be ideal.
ii.
Mark will restructure the grants during the winter so that the Town
can obtain 50% back.
iii.
The Committee also discussed a project on Grove Road and
possibly utilizing any remaining monies from the Budds Pond
Project to ascertain where the property lines are.
iv.
Goldsmith - grant contract requires signature of the Town Board.
There will be money left over after the Project is complete (approx.
$80,000). The Town may consider utilizing some of the remaining
monies to continue armoring the area near the parking lot as a
shoreline protection project or an erosion protection project that
can be tied into the grant or a dredging project.
Goldsmith Study - Hugh Switzer would like to include DNA source
sampling as part of the grant. Mark will coordinate with John
S./Jamie and Lorne (Cornell) regarding the location of the testing.
The phragmite removal has been moved to the Spring of 2012.
Once the Phragmite is removed, the Town may discover
additional stormwater mitigation potential.
III.
A summary of the revisions of Chapter 236 was presented by Jennifer. The
Committee agreed to review the draft legislation and forward any comments to
Jen/Jamie/John S. for review and incorporation into the draft by September 18,
2011. Going forward the draft will be considered at the next MS4 Compliance
Committee meeting, referred to the Town Board, and presented to Code
Committee. The revised law must be adopted prior to March 2012.
IV.
Upcoming Deadlines - John S. presented the Committee with a brief overview of
upcoming MS4 permit deadlines which will be discussed in more detail.
