He presented the Commission with photos of the project.  The closure contains three plus acres with two closures.  The plan is to mix it with sand and ?  There is a compost area where they stored leaves, etc.  Grass swales with rip-rap down shoot 600 ft. which will be in the buffer zone.  Approximately 300 sq. ft. will be in the wetland.  Some of the debris will be taken outside of town and the area cleaned up.  The site will be restored to loam with seed and capped with a flexible membrane liner.  The cap will be a drainage area.   Weston & Sampson Engineers will file an NOI on behalf of the Town.  A silt fence with straw bales will be placed to protect the limit of work.  The grade is 2 1/2 to at the steepest point.  Four ft. of cover soils will be placed over the site.  They will use the fill as much as they can.  The Town's intent is to maintain an access road there.  There will be some methane gas out there.  There is an intermittent stream that goes into the Housatonic River.  It will be mowed once per year with limited mowing at the slope.  DEP sent a letter stating that the Town is administratively incomplete with this project.  The Commission will do a site visit on their own time.
