Ashland health director reports three-year landfill monitoring contract renewal with Langdon Environmental
Summary
The Board was told Langdon Environmental will continue landfill monitoring through 2029 under a three-year contract at $16,400 per year ($49,200 total); Gupta noted potential additional PFAS testing costs.
Health Director Rajit Gupta told the Board the town will continue monitoring the Howe Street Landfill under a three-year contract with Langdon Environmental through 2029. The agreement maintains the previous annual price of $16,400, for a three‑year total of $49,200, and covers monitoring required by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Gupta said the town may face additional costs if PFAS sampling is required and that he will update the Board when testing needs arise.
No formal vote on the contract was recorded in the meeting minutes; Gupta presented the contract terms for Board awareness and future action as needed. The Board did not take any other formal action on landfill monitoring or testing at the June 16 meeting.
