Gentlemen:
On April 26, 1988 an inspection was conducted concerning the municipal
transfer station by personnel of the Metropolitan Boston/ Northeast Region of
the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, Division of 'Solid Waste
Management. The inspection revealed that the transfer station located on
Danvers Road (sometimes referred to as Swampscott Road) was operating in
compliance with 310 CMR 18.00 "Regulations for the Installation, Operation and
Maintenance of Solid Waste Transfer Stations". During the inspection the
operator of the transfer station informed the inspector from D.E.Q.E. that the
only material that was being processed since October of 1987 originated from
the Salem Housing Authority and the Salem School System. The inspector was also
informed that commercial refuse had been discontinued as of that same date.
should any conditions as stated above change, The City of Salem shall be
required to notify the Department in writing and monthly tonnage reports shall
to be submitted to the Department.
Should you have any questions in regarding this letter, please do not
hesitate to contact Mr. Robert Tanzer at the above address or telephone
617-935-2160.
