Roxbury selectmen grant cleanup extension after executive session, flag PFAS concerns near aquifer
Summary
After entering executive session under 1 M.R.S. §405(6)(H) to discuss a code-enforcement matter, the Roxbury Board of Selectmen approved an extension to July 18 for cleanup and noted PFAS-related concerns because the property sits in an aquifer.
The Roxbury Board of Selectmen entered an executive session on April 14 under Maine statute 1 M.R.S. §405(6)(H) to discuss a code-enforcement matter and subsequently approved an extension for site cleanup until July 18.
Selectman Timothy Derouche made the motion to enter executive session under 1 M.R.S. §405(6)(H); Selectman Matthew Patneaude seconded and the board voted 2-0 to go into and later exit the executive session. After returning to the public meeting the board voted to allow extra time to complete cleanup work, extending the compliance deadline to July 18.
Derouche also reported reviewing an email about PFAS at the site and said he would contact DEP to stress that the property in question is located in an aquifer and that there had been a proposed solar project on the parcel.
The action is recorded as a board direction to extend the deadline; further technical or regulatory steps (for example, DEP testing or remediation requirements) were not specified in the minutes and will require follow-up with code-enforcement staff and DEP.
