Select board tables concern about 'black liquor' discharge raised by Senator Martin
Summary
The board voted unanimously to table to Jan. 23 a concern described in the minutes as a 'Black Liquor Discharge' that was raised by Senator Martin; the minutes record the topic and the tabling motion but provide no technical details or source identification.
At its Jan. 2 meeting the Rumford Board of Select Persons recorded a concern described in the minutes as a "Black Liquor Discharge" raised by Senator Martin. Select Board member DiConzo moved to table the matter to the Jan. 23 meeting; Select Board member Brennick seconded and the motion passed 4-0.
The minutes record only the topic label and the board's vote to table; they do not provide technical details about the alleged discharge, its source, affected acreage or waterways, sampling results, or any referenced reports. The board's action was procedural: tabling the item for later consideration. The minutes indicate the item will be returned to the Jan. 23 agenda for further discussion.
Because the transcript provides only a brief listing in the minutes, follow-up reporting would require access to written complaints, agency reports, or statements from the party who raised the concern (identified in the minutes as Senator Martin) and from town or environmental officials for verification.
