Selectboard advances Transfer & Recycling Station permit process; Acker must complete disclosures
Summary
Town Administrator submitted the Transfer & Recycling Station Management Plan for review; the Board learned the permit review will take 1–2 weeks followed by 30‑day public comment, and Acker (service provider) must submit notarized disclosures and may receive town fee assistance.
The Selectboard reviewed and moved forward with the town’s Transfer & Recycling Station Management Plan during its Feb. 3 meeting. Town Administrator Trish Waugh reported that the required documents have been submitted and the permitting authority will conduct a 1–2 week initial review followed by a 30‑day public comment period; once issued the permit would be valid for 10 years.
Trish outlined administrative requirements for Acker, the station’s service provider, including completing a notarized Personal History and Business Disclosure and payment of related fees. She said these documents are necessary for the permit to proceed; the board discussed options if Acker did not comply, such as limiting the site to recycling only or directing residents to Bristol for trash disposal. Member Ken Stockman suggested the town cover Acker’s estimated fee (about $100) if Acker submits the required documents; Tim McGowan agreed.
Selectboard members also reviewed details of the Management Plan text and asked Trish to make minor adjustments before resubmission. Tim and Joe signed the document during the meeting to move the permitting process forward.
The board expects an update after the permitting authority’s review and will track the 30‑day public comment period once the agency posts the plan.
