MINUTES OF MARCA 27, 1985 MEETING
Frances Brautigam, L.A.Chotkowski, Richard Dalido-
witz and Richard Narus.
The meeting was called to order ak 7:40 PM in
Room 6 at Town Hall.
The minutes of the February 27th meeting were
accepted as read.
OLD BUSINESS:
Industrial Questionnair~:
Jeffrey Cugno was at the meeting to explain the
logistics involved when a company expresses
interest in locating in Berlin. From the ensuing
questions and discussion, it was concluded that
the questionnaire could probably be integrated
into the system in either of two ways - 1}
linked to the Connecticut DEP Environmental
regulations which require permits to install
and/or operate industrial processes or 2)
through the town's building inspector and/
or building permit system. It was agreed that
the latter method appears more reliable and
easier to implement. R. Dalidowitz will follow
through on this.
Groundwater Protection:
According to Jim Murphy of the Connecticut
DEP, the typical local ordinance governing
groundwater protection is either inadequate,
mis-directed or unenforceable. Mr. Murphy
is pres~ntly developing a series ~of guidelines
for communities to follow in order to develop
effective qroundwater protection regulations.
When completed, the Commission will rec~ive
a copy of this information. Questions followed
about the location of Berlin's aquifers, the
quality of water in these aquifers and the
frequency of sampling and analyses far contami-
nants in the town's drinking water. It was
also noted that septic tanks in a npw residential
housing development will be located relatively
close to the Kensington Fire District Well
located off the Chamberlain Highway. Specific
information about this situation will be obtained
and this topic will be discussed at the next
meeting.
