7. Status of Construction of 17 -acre Parcel
Excavation of sand and sand screening continues to take place. Sometime next week, Bob
Terry said they expect to expand the RCA pad farther to the south.
8. Schedule for Completion of the Permanent Road and Removal of the Temporary Road to
17 Acres
See Item 6. Also, Bob Terry said that the concrete blocks are being installed starting today
along the edges of the permanent road. Tom Maher asked about the cost of the concrete
blocks. Bob Terry said there is a letter summarizing this cost along with credits given for
elimination of the guardrail and concrete curbing. Bob said the only extra cost will be for the
asphalt curbing which will be about $1.75 to $2.00 per lineal foot which works out to be
around $2,000 for the length of the permanent road.
9. Design of Primary Road on to 17 -acre Parcel and Status of Construction of Secondary Road
The secondary road is now in place and Terry is widening it from its current 18 -foot width to
30 feet which will then become the primary road. Tom Maher recommended that the road
have a maximum grade of 7% which translates into a road length of about 260 feet. Tom also
recommended that the road be paved rather than just using RCA. Having looked at the area
after the meeting, Tom further recommended that a swale be established between the landfill
and the road in order to catch runoff from the landfill. Note that this information was
provided to Jamie Richter, Jim Bunchuck and George Desmaris of H2M after the progress
meeting. Tom agreed to send grading plans and other information, including a suggested
cross section of the road, to Jim Bunchuck and Jamie Richter. Jamie Richter agreed with
Tom's recommendations and discussed these details along with drainage considerations later
with George.
10. Status of Completion and Testing of Gas Monitoring Wells along Southwester Boundary
Jim Mulligan said that no further work has been done to complete the four wells nor were
they tested this week. Monitoring results thus far have not indicated the presence of methane
in the wells.
11. Response to Revised Chenango Cost Backup for Phased Liner Installation on West Side
The information Terry has forwarded from Chenango on this issue has not been reviewed as
yet by Jim Mulligan. Jim recommended that it also be reviewed by Tectonic and Tom Maher
agreed. Jim will fax a copy of it to Peter Sutherland for his review.
12. Proposal for Plantings along Southern Boundary
