MEMBERS PRESENT:
OLD BUSINESS:
Roman Baldyga, Frances. Brautigam, L.A.Chotkowski,
Richard Dalidowitz.
The meeting was called to order in Room S at
Town Hall at 7:30 P.M.
The minutes of the September 18th meeti_ng were
accepted as read.
MATTABASSETT LANDFILL:
To date there has been little progress on the
ash disposal site bordering Route 72.
For the time being, ash is being tempor.arily
accumulated on land adjacent to the treatment
plant in Cromwell.
Efforts to obtain a definitive, up-to-date
schedule for construction of the new waste
treatment plant and preparation of the waste
disposal site from Mattabassett officials have
been unsuccessful. The Town Engineering Department
also was unable to provide any information
on this matter.
Mattabassett did indicate that new bids are
being solicited from contractors for certain
portions of the project.
ELTON ROAD WELL:
Well #3 is not operating.
Analyses provided by the Water Commission to
Roman Baldyga were out of date or superficial.
The last comprehensive report from the Newlands
Lab was for a sample submitted on August 10,
1982. This analysis did not address the problem
of organic contamination (TCE, e~c.).
Monthly checks concentrate on bacteria]_ contamina-
tion and physical properties. However, for
Elton Road Wells, physicals are not run. Richard
Dalidowitz will verify what is considered "good
standard practice" for drinking water analyses.

POLLUTION CONTROL COMMISSION
MINUTES - OCTOBER 24, 1984 MEETING
NEW BUSINESS:
INDUSTRIAL QUESTIONNAIRE:
A preliminary draft was submitted by Richard Dalidowitz
and reviewed by the Commission members.
The purpose of the short, but comprehensive questionnaire,
is to provide useful information to the Town's governing
bodies about the types of chemicals which a perspective
manufacturing/business firm will be using in its daily
operations.
A copy of Lhis questionnaire with a cove:r letter will
be sent to the Executive Board for their comments and
also their suggestions about how to implement it into
the planning/development process.
Dr. Chotkowski informed the Commission that residents
in the Porters Pass area had questioned ~im about the
relationship between a high incidence of hyperactivity
among children living in that area and possible air
contamination particularly from lead. Dr. Chotkowski's
preliminary findings are that there is r~o correlation
between the hyperactivity and airborne lead; however,
he will continue to follow up until th.is matter is
resolved.
Having no further business, the meeting was adjourned
at 8:40 P.M. The next regular meeting of the Commission
will be held on t.he last Wednesday of the month, November
28, in Room 5 in Town Hall at 7:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitt.ed,
Richard J. Dalidowit.z
Chairman
