Selectmen adopt Synergen decommissioning plan and will notify DEP
Summary
The Roxbury selectmen voted 2-0 to adopt the Synergen decommissioning plan as approved by the Planning Board and agreed to notify Nick Archer at DEP and Synergen of the action.
Selectman Timothy Derouche moved to adopt the Synergen decommissioning plan as it was previously voted by the Planning Board; Selectman Matthew Patneaude seconded and the board approved the motion 2-0. The minutes record that the town will notify Nick Archer of the Department of Environmental Protection and Synergen about the adoption.
The board did not provide additional detail in the minutes about the plan's contents or specific implementation steps; the motion as recorded directs town staff to communicate the Planning Board's action to the named DEP contact and to Synergen.
Why it matters: A decommissioning plan can affect site conditions, future liability and regulatory oversight; notifying DEP indicates the selectmen are engaging the state agency identified in the minutes.
Next steps: Town staff to notify Nick Archer at DEP and Synergen as recorded. The minutes do not specify timelines, financial responsibilities or follow-up reporting requirements for implementation.
