Public statements

Mr. Sinaiko invited statements from the public.

 

Joshua Swerling of Bohler Engineering, on behalf of A&P and Grand Union Family Markets. He expresses interest for hooking up the facility to the sewer system.  The Board of Health failed their septic system and required that the system be upgraded by mid-December.  Mr. Sinaiko notes he would like to connect the facility to the sewer; however, he advises that a decision cannot be made until the definitive study is complete for DEP as to actual usage and available capacity, and this is expected to take about two years.  Discussion of alternative scenarios ensued.
