the agenda all right disposal Works permits Bob ratify agents approval Sycamore 46 Sycamore Drive 46 Sycamore is uh a repair uh down in the mobile homes it's just ratify agents approval okay 355 Plymouth Street is ratify agents approval it's a repair beautiful same for 314 plym and N margerie margerie is a repair um ratify agents approval went through everything so we're fine get a f 314 Plymouth Street is is where the projected Starbucks is going to be so the septic plan is fine okay um it's pending other boards approval further review and approval so at least they would have a working copy of an approved septic plan and take it from there so that is this board's job so all right exactly um can I get a motion to ratify the agent's approval for disposal work permits a b c and d is listed so moved all in favor hi all right requiring local upgrades and variances but otherwise recommended for approval 229 Elm Street that's a repair of an existing system and the only way that it will fit into the um you know Title Five regulations is by us approving um these so that they can put in a new septic uh make the environment safe and Life's good it's things that we've done before so okay perfect can I get a motion to approve the local upgrades and variances for 229 Elm Street 1 and two as listed so moved all in favor I discussion items Covenant cases require Beach pond water testing and Title Five report annually Town previously required two water samples annually cost at the time was5 per sample this year the testing cost increased to 50 per sample so Board of Health decreased the amount of samples required to one sample along with the required annual Title 5 report and um two houses haven't paid yet okay 29 and 25 okay so do they they've got they have we'll send them out another letter and just ask for the $50 okay instead of 100 we saved them half the fee yeah okay so we'll continue to monitor that situation um potential FY 26 budget increase for Hemlock Lane landfill DFAS D is um researching or will want to have the landfill by the um Highway Department um tested p pfas and it could be around $9,500 a year since it falls under the Board of Health we would have to ask for a increase in our budget as opposed to any kind of level funding or budget cuts that the health department may experience in 2026 and so that's a requirement like to do that testing yes not optional y so it would be on the town but it falls on us just because it's there so okay is that what something we'd have to plan for when we're looking at the 2026 budget exactly okay um which I believe I've already had conversation with Cody uh the town manager and said hello it's it's not like I'm looking to just get something to have fun with uh well obiously it's a requirement it's you know a requirement for every reason right yep the same as the testing that we're currently doing the one thing that really might help us though is the new conservation agent that they hired um used to do a uh you know um sampling of soils and such they could use the existing um well test sites and instead of having to bore new new ones um and she's going to research she has different companies besides the one company that set us you know sent us out the $9,500 offer so we might be able to shop around a little yeah shop around and okay but that so the 9500 would be worst case scenario yeah um yeah it all depends on what like DP hasn't come down with a final test result they just wanted to warn me okay they were basically saying hey that you'll have to test this is currently what we think you would have to pay once D sends us the notifications of exactly what we're doing how we're doing then we can give you a dollar amount so cool I just wanted to throw it out there but the d d allows us to choose which particular company we would oh yeah through town bid no problem I mean yeah right you we would definitely put it out to you know three different vendors so to speak and it doesn't have to be uh Ty and bond which is who we're currently contracted with with the other stuff sure um but they might come in cheap also because they're already here you know why not do both so right we'll just explore it but I know is because I have to submit budgets um relatively soon for 26 okay I don't want any surprises up or down for the Board of Health okay all right and then see Thanksgiving it is right around the corner I can't believe that but it is uh visit our website for cooking your turkey temperatures and avoiding cross contamination yes we don't need any
