Sites B-15-b and B-22-d both lie between Mayfield Rd., Winston Churchill Blvd. and the CN tracks. The former of the two lies immedi- ately north of the latter. Diana Pooke, executive member of the coalition, explained why these locations were not suitable. Their Proximity to the Credit River makes the locations hazardous, she said. The last two sites lie over an aquifer, and the underlying rocks are shale, limestone and gravel, all of which are permeable. Pooke remarked that one reason why CVC is updating concerned residents is that the IWA is begin- ning to survey People about the ump locations. “The question- \ Now when you buy a car and finance it It's a totally unique loan Package that g Peace of mind should you become sales ¢ service « parts rental « leasing 357 Queen Street: ‘sal 6 453-8965 ACTON ©» 853.9909 rns of dump site surveys Forget the Rest come to the best!!!

She advises the public not to fill out the questionnaires. “Of course we wish to cooperate,” she explained, “but we will not be rail- toaded.” For those people who feel a need to fill out the questionnaires, Pooke suggests they look at the questionnaire beforehand; ask for a Copy (so that other residents will know what to expect), and demand that their concerns be recorded. She adds that not all questions need be answered, and that if a person is sus- Picious for any reason, they can call acoalition member.

This fee is paid if developers choose to use the allotted 5% of subdivision land saved for parks, for other Purposes.

Town, administrator Dan Costea assured Rutherford. the agreement was verbal, therefore not legally binding. He added that even if land appreciates in value, the same practice is used. Councilor Robson asked how many appraisals were taken, and was informed only one. Costea mentioned this was the town’s Practice, instead of getting the aver- age of several appraisals, because of the cost involved. “Well, this appraisal has cost us $40,000,” Robson stated. “I think that’s sig- nificant.” The report was referred back to the administration department for another appraisal.
