Chairman
Phelps is still trying to get in touch with the Browers regarding their land,
and will call Don McBride to find a way to contact them.
PSNH
Grant was denied, with a recommendation to try again in April.
Phelps suggested consulting Jeanie Forrester,
since she has written grants and possibly could advise the TCC.
Discussion
on the Moultonboro situation, re: development in a very sensitive wetlands area
The Moultonboro Conservation
Commission had tough questions for the Moultonboro
Planning Board at their recent meeting. There is
a walk of the property planned for December 1, December 8 rain day.
The
Conservation Commission’s appeal of the WWTF upgrade was denied at the Water
Council’s November 14 meeting. Chairman Phelps, Ken Cookson, Terry Smith and
wife were present.
Phelps has contacted the lawyer he worked with
regarding Pak 2000 issues, who is willing to consult with Phelps and Chehames
and make suggestions. He could help the TCC navigate the appeals process
correctly.
Evans suggested the TCC should write to Army
Corps of Engineers and the EPA, and that the TCC would have more clout with
stronger backing from the Selectmen.
Light advised that after April 1, new stringent
rules for the Groundwater Protection Act will come in, and the current WWTF
upgrade would not be legal if begun after that date.
A Request for Reconsideration must be submitted 30
days from the Nov. 14 meeting.
Evans talked to Tony Tur at Fish & Wildlife,
who said the pipeline and infiltration site wouldn’t be favorable site for
pogonia; he had no specific comments about the woods road.
Phelps will call Vanderpole, who has an environmental
consulting firm in

a reply from Richard Head (of the AG’s office) to the TCC’s letter re: the WWTF

information from Edie Demarais of PlanNH about conducting Charettes.
Phelps suggested doing a charette with the Gould
property, and has given a copy of the
information to the Selectmen, with whom he and
Evans propose to meet.
Parks and Rec. is already making trails there.
The TCC feels a plan should be formulated before the land is developed in any
way.
Evans noted that the
Wolfeboro-Tuftonboro Land Bank is willing to offer assistance.
Evans
told the TCC that used oil recycling should be up and running next summer. There
is a need to put up posters, and hand out recycling educational materials.
There
was brief discussion re: the LRPC, with Wood voicing the opinion that
Tuftonboro would benefit from joining. Wood also passed around an article in the
Sunday News about easements.
