1986/01/29POLLUTION CONTROL CONIl~lISSION
MINUTES OF JANUARY 29, 1986 MEETING
MEMBERS PRESENT:
OLD BUSINESS•
Frances Brautigam, Richard Dalidowitz and
Richard Narus.
The meeting was called to order at '1:40 PM in
Room 6 at Town Hall.
The minutes of the November 27, 1985 meeting
were accepted as issued.
Groundwater Protection:
Richard Narus presented information obtained f:rom Morgan
See~ye about town water supply locations and th~ amount of
town owned land buffering each well.
Bicentennial which has the largest buffer (about 100 acres)
would be the most expensive to hook up to town water lines
while Woodlawn, located in a commercially zoned area and
polluted, would be least expensive to bring on-line even with
the required air stripper.
Little information could be obtained about the Kensington fire
district well located just off the Chamberlain Highway.
To date no word has been received from Jim Murphy of the
Connecticut DEP about a model ordinance for groundwater
protection.
Waste Collection Day:
Frances Brautigam presented information obtained from the
organizer of the Southington Waste Collection Day. This
endeavor was strongly endorsed by the Southington Town
Administration and required considerable cooperation among
several town agencies. This is not an affair put together over
the weekend but requires months of planning and a committed
group of people to execute the plan. Two percent of
Southington's households participated - enough for this event
to be considered a success and to be rescheduled again for the
coming year. Total cost was approximately $9100, aFproximately
half of which will be refunded by the State. This topic was
tabled until the next meeting when information p:resented by
Mrs. Brautigam could be discussed after review by each member
of the Commission.

EPA List of Toxic Chemicals:
Richard Narus advised that the EPA has issued a l~st of 402
acutely toxic chemicals and a guidance plan for communities to
follow when dealing with these materials in emergencies. A
copy has been requested by Mr. Narus for the Commission to
review and to distribute as appropriate.

A copy of an abatement order from the DEP to Argo Industries
was reviewed. This order cites Argo for illegally discharging

Commissioner Stanley Pac to follow a 10-step grogram to
rectify this situation. The Commission will f~llow the
progress of this order as it proceeds.
Having no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:55
