Selectboard: DES to recommend actions after asbestos found at Transfer Station; radon and oil-tank remediation planned at Town Hall
Summary
Following an inspection of illegal dumping at the Transfer Station, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services will provide recommendations on asbestos removal. The Selectboard is also checking references for radon remediation at Town Hall and seeking recommendations on removing oil tanks at Town Hall and Brusch Hall.
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services inspected the site of illegal dumping at Brookline’s Transfer Station after town staff reported potential asbestos; the board said DES will provide recommendations in the coming weeks.
Separately, Brendan Denehy reported the town is checking references for a radon remediation contractor for Town Hall. The board also asked Shattock Oil to provide recommendations for removing oil tanks at Town Hall and asked that they include the tank at Brusch Hall in their assessment.
The minutes do not list estimated costs or contractor names beyond Shattock Oil and do not record timelines for remediation work. The Selectboard recorded these matters for follow-up and to report back when DES and vendors provide recommendations.
