How many times have we heard that the proposed trash transfer station project and the Baird-McGuire site can peacefully coexist and the Superfund site's pollution will not affect the dump project? Well, the Holbrook Conservation Commission was told Monday night that contaminated soil on the Baird-McGuire site is impacting the proposed solid waste trash transfer station proposed for Holbrook.According to TLA-Holbrook's consultants, contaminated soil material on the Superfund site will impact the overall development of the transfer station. The exact amount of contamination is unknown and TLA-Holbrook's consultants are working with the state DEP and the federal EPA on a plan to test the soil conditions.
The sheepishly made statement about the contamination was uttered when the commission requested that the transfer station consultants provide more detail on the existing site condition and contamination before proceeding with the wetlands review process and future development plans for the site. No decision on the overall project was reached Monday night and the public hearing was continued until October 26 at 7:30 PM at Holbrook Town Hall.
