During the Feb. 20 meeting, a resident asked the selectmen whether they had seen an article about PFAS and the Hartland landfill; separately, the board noted GMLA will seek grant funding to inspect boats at the town landing amid resident concerns about zebra mussels.
A resident, identified in the minutes as Mr. Greenburg, asked Hartland selectmen at their Feb. 20 meeting whether they had seen a Waterville Sentinel article about PFAS and the Hartland landfill. The minutes record the question but do not record a response or further discussion.
Separately, Selectman John Hikel told the board that GMLA has changes in its board membership and plans to apply for a grant to inspect boats at the town boat landing this spring and summer. Residents told the board that boat inspections had been done in prior years and raised concerns about zebra mussels.
The minutes do not include specific test results, regulatory citations, or responses from staff or selectmen to the PFAS question. The GMLA grant application was described as forthcoming and time-sensitive; the minutes refer to a grant application deadline in the first week of March. No enforcement actions, testing plans, or remediation steps are recorded in these minutes.
