She stated that the trash compactor was supposed to be installed by the end of October and now it is December and the bidding is just starting. She is concerned that the bids take time to be collected and put into action and the time it takes for the job to be completed may be months from now. Bob Blenkhorn stated that for a high rise complex the method they are currently using is unreasonable and that there should be no more infringements on the residents of the complex. Phil Saindon stated that Mr. Levin seems to think that we are asking too much and that he is very dissapointed at the situation at hand and the time it is taking to correct the situation. Bob Blenkhorn stated that what we need tonight is a short range solution. The residents should not have to take the trash any further than their own level. Lenny O'Leary asked if the residents were leaving the trash on their level. Sally answered that it never took place. •7 Attorney-Geli-neaur,stated that if the residents were unable to carry the trash to the dumpster, they were asked to phone the office and ask for assistance. Sally stated that this method is not .working because many of the residents are intimidated. She said that one of the office workers told a resident that 'this isn't a rest home, you should be able to do some things for yourself. ' Carol Dempsey denied this and asked who the resident was that told Sally this. Sally refused to give out any names. Vincent DiBona asked if this arrangement of calling the office for trash pick-up had been put into writing and made available to the residents and how soon after the call their trash was picked up. Mr. Talbot answered that the information had been put into writing and that . the trash was usually picked up within an hour of the call.

In the meantime, he would like to make sure that signs are posted on each floor telling the residents exactly what is available to them. Vincent DiBona requested that the Board of Health take action tonight concerning this issue. The Board will not accept any solution except that the residents be allowed to leave their trash outside their door in securely tied plastic bags to be picked up twice per week at a designated time. If there is no trash outside the door, the maintenance man should knock on the door to collect the trash. Fairweather agreed to this arrangement and will send out pamphlets to all the residents explaining the procedure.

FAFARD COMPANIES Mr. Seeley was present at the meeting to go over the company's plans and to respond the the specific requests submitted by the Board of Health concerning the holding and disposal of trash and the control of rodents and or other wildlife. He first submitted a report from Russell B. Henderson Mass. License # 1029 8, stating that both sites are free of any active rodent vermin • populations and that nothing needs to be done to control the situation. Mr. Seeley then submitted a proposal for the disposal of solid waste from residents of Whaler's Lane as follows: It is proposed that the Whaler's Lane residents bring their solid waste in closed trash containers to fenced enclosure which will be placed at the edge of Whaler's Lane where the City would pick .up the containers in an identical manner to that of all other residential city streets in Salem. T The pre-built fenced enclosures will be solidly screened with evergreens and continuously mainitained by the Condo- minium Association. He went on to say that the individually owned units are paying taxes to the City of Salem and are entitled to trash pick up. Phil Saindon stated that there is an association for the condo- minium owners and he sugested that they get their own truck to pick up the trash and bring it out to the street. He then asked what kind of enclosures Mr.. Seeley was planning to use for the holding of trash. Mr. Seeley answered that they would use either stockade fences or chainl nk' fences with evergreens which the association would maintain. • page 2. Mr. Seeley pointed out that the project will bring in about 1 .4 million dollars in tax revenue for the city 'and that the trash pick up will be • more than paid for. Councilor Lenny O'Leary stated that he understood that the association would be taking care of everything, including trash pick-up, street lights, underground services, water drainage, and plowing, and only the sewarage would be taken care of by the city. He pointed out that if the city does pick up the-trash at the end of the street that the street will be a mess, having all the trash for so many units in one spot, at one time. Also he forsees a snowball effect in the city for all the condo's and it wouldn't be worth it to the city. Mr. Seeley pointed out again that the project will be generating exten- sive tax dollars. Mr. Blenkhorn pointed out that he thinks it is unreasonable for the units to have to drop off the trash at the end of their streets at Whaler's Lane. Mr. Seeley said that he would read over the statutes and go over the problem more extensively before he comes back with a possible solution. Mr. Blenkhorn stated that he does not want to give Mr.- Seeley the im- pression that the city will pick up the trash at the enclosed units, and that the individual owners are entitles to having a firm contracted by the developer. • Phil Saindon made a motion and Arthur Kingsley seconded the motion stating that the Board of Health is not comfortable with Fafard's proposed method of trash disposal and also the activity of the wildlife. NEW BUSINESS McNEIL AND ASSOCIATES Mr. Tom Southworth was present at the meeting to go over his plans for the development of Townhouses at Collins Cove.

SOUTH ESSEX SEWAGE DISTRICT Eleven residents neighboring of near-by the South Essex Sewage Treatment Plant, were present at the meeting to voise their complaints concerning the odor caused by the plant. Also present at the meeting were Councilor George Nowak and Michael O'Brien, • City Solicitor. Mr. Blenkhorn explained that many site visits were conducted in conjunction with the D.E.Q.E. He also stated that the bulk of the complaints concerning the smell were issued on Mondays and he explained that this might be caused because the plant is not in operation during the weekend and the sludge is allowed to build up, ,,C Councilor Nowak went on to stress the seriousness of this problem on Mondays and he stated that the Board of Health must address the problem in order to find out what legal ramifications can be used to solve the problem. At this time, the neighbors were asked to voice some of their complaints concerning this issue. Alice Noris said that when she callso the plant with a complaint, something is done to correct the situation, but it is not always possible to get through, Al Cloyd said that the smell has bben quite substantial during the past few weeks and when he spoke with Mr. Vitale he said that it was beyond his understanding and that the direction of the wind is a main factor in the intensity • of the odor. -2- J • Charlie Cook asked how many workers were present during the weekend. Mr. Blenkhorn told him that it was only a skeleton work- force on weekends. At this time, the city solicitor explained that he reali- zed the probelm and that the Board of Health has strong •powers and that he will be gald ' to help in any way that he can. Francis Condem stated that her main concern is not the odor itself but what effect it has on peoples health. Mr. Blenkhorn stated that the odor has no effect on peoples health because it contined no carsenogenics. John Gavenda stated that on certain days he can't open his windows because of the odor. Councilor Lenny O'Leary explained that what he under- stands is that the plant does not process all the 'sludge in one day, therefore it buildups overnight making the _ situation worse. He asked if the Board of Health could force the plant to process all of the material on the same day instead of holding it unitl the next day. • Mr. Cloyd stated that in the cool weather the odor is -self contined and gives the illusion of the problem being corrected but as soon as it heats up it will start again. Mr. Blenkhorn said that he will give South Essex Sewerage District 1. a direct order not to hold any unprocessed sludge on off hours. 2. Hire a consulting firm to do evironmental site monitoring.

A decision was made to widen the dike from 1 ' to 2 ' and to extend 4 ' beyond the limits of the leeching field to prevent runoff. They also decided to raise and blend the pavement which would improve the quality of the road. Mr. Winters asked what would happen if the plans did not work and who will have to pay for it, Mr. Blenkhorn explained that the tank is much larger than necessary for the size of the house and the daily flow that will be used and he reminded that the street will be two feet higher. He assured the neighbors that everything will be done to prevent any problems and that he will do everything he can to make sure of this. • Phil Saindon made a motion to accept and approve the proposed variance with the findings of the city engineer with the stipulation that the D.E.Q.E. be notified of the decision.

Fafard states the because the units are individually owned, that the dwellings should be treated as other residential dwellings of the City of Salem and not have to supply or pay for their own services.

Mr. Blenkhorn agreed to this and conducted a survey of surrounding areas to determine what -other methods of disposal are being used. He found that most apartment complexes either use a trash chute or bring the trash to a holding room on the floor to be picked up. Mr. Blenkhorn suggested that he would contact Fairweather and try to work out a suitable solution and if nothing is agreed upon the next step sould be court action. A motion was present by Phil Saindon and seconded by George Levesque to go ahead with the first step and con- tact the council in writing with the results, the Board will then decade what to do next. NEW BUSINESS • RIVERVIEW STREET Mr. Warren Williamson has requested a variance from the provisions of Title 5, the state code which governs the construction of Septic Systems, as it deals with slope requirements. Mr. Erland S. Townsend Jr. P.E. of T & M Engineering Assoc. was present at the meeting to review his plans for the construction of a Septic System for Mr. William- son�`s property and also to answer any questions the neighboring residents of that area might have concer- ning this issue. He began by pointing out that Mr. .Williamson' s pro- perty does not meet the necessary slope requirements ri needed to installl a septic system. The code call for 75 ' but the property has only 171 . He then proposed a clay dike system which is a fairly common procedure. At this time, Mr. Blenkhorn explained that if the Board does agree with the request, a variance must be submitted to the DEQE for their approval. He also pointed out that everything else concerning the property is in total conformance. Page 3 At this time the neighbors present were told to ask • Mr. Townsend any questions they might have conserning this issue. Mr. Gagnon asked how high the house would be. Mr. Townsend answered that it will be a single family home and stand about 24 ' above the ground. Mr. Gagnon then asked how high the vent pipe woul be. Mr. Tonsend answered that the sewer gasses will disipate 75 '-100' high and the air currents will pick up and carry the gasses away. Mr. Gagnon requested that the main sewer have a U trap. Mr. Townsend explained that U traps are no longer allowed. Mr. Pare question the system of the clay dike to block the flow of water and use a leeching field. Mr. Townsend answered that it will not block the flow of water and that it will go through the fills. Earls Winters stated that it will overflow as it does • every year. Mr. Tonsend answered that the overflow water sheets across the surface and that they are working 6' below the surface. The house water will go to the lower layor and the clay dike will act as a cap on the system. Mr. Pare asked who would be in charge of policing the area. Mr. Blenkhorn said he would do it himself. Mr. Pare asked why the Williamson' s don't connect to the main sewar system. Mr. Blenkhorn explained that they can connect but the cost would be too high to afford. He went on to say that the state requires a 1, 000 gallon septic tank, but the Williamson' s have agreed to a larger 1, 250 gallon tank as an extra precaution and have also agreed to have the tank cleaned anually or more often if the neighbors think it' s necessary. Mr. Townsend went on to explain that this system is designed to control only the owner water and has no • variance on the surface water runoff situation which now exists. y page 4. Mr. Williamson then explained that he does not want any . unsuitable situation' to go on for any amount of time and he will agree to have his system checked, inspected, and serviced more often than necessary in order to insure its safety. At -this time Mr. Blenkhorn asked if any of the neighbors present were opposed to the request. No neighbors were opposed. Mr. Blenkhorn then explained that the Board could grant the variance tonight or the Board could table the re- quest and take it up at the next meeting. Vincent Di Bona made a motion and Philip Saindon seconded the motion to table the decision until the next meeting. During this time, a city engineer .should check the site and give an oppinion to the Board. ADJOURNMENT 9; 45 P.M. Respectfully Submitted, Dianne McClory r.
