Commission: Crosspoint shows willingness to investigate Hannaford retention‑pond issues; dye test planned
Summary
After a site tour with Crosspoint representatives, commission members reported a damaged outlet pipe and a rusted inlet stack at the Hannaford retention pond; Crosspoint said it will explore repairs and the town will run a dye test to confirm where water from the pond discharges.
Commissioners gave an update on the Hannaford retention pond after a recent site visit with Crosspoint representatives and town public‑works staff. The group reported damage in the outlet pipe, a rock obstruction and a corroded inlet stack that prevents the retention pond from holding water as designed.
Commissioners said Crosspoint staff reviewed the history of maintenance and asked about permits. Crosspoint acknowledged the pipe damage and discussed possible repair approaches but did not commit to a schedule. The town public‑works contact agreed to run an inert dye test to trace flows from the pond and confirm where water currently exits the system.
The commission also raised the subject of salt runoff from the Hannaford supermarket lot; Crosspoint indicated its contractor is on the list for Green Snow Pro training to reduce salt use and the company was receptive to change.
Commissioners called the meeting productive and said they planned to follow up with Crosspoint and the town after the dye test results are available.
