KINGFIELD – Some concerns about the town’s transfer station have risen since a state Department of Environmental Protection inspection done earlier this month.

Selectmen reviewed a notice of violation letter from DEP’s William Butler, who performed the inspection, during their meeting this week.

“It lists some concerns with the way things are stored and requests a better system of tracking what people are bringing to the transfer station but nothing that cannot be remedied,” Administrative Assistant Greg Davis said Thursday.

Instead of meeting Butler in Augusta, the town requested a meeting for 2 p.m. Tuesday at the transfer station when he and the board will make another tour and review concerns.

One revolved around a buildup of things like televisions, Davis said. A stack accumulated while the town waited for Sandy River Recycling to pick it up but the company has been backed up its work, he said.

Another issue concerns people leaving waste oil, which should only be done on special pickup days, and some paint cans that still contained wet paint. Property owners need to dry the paint before leaving cans, he said.

“There shouldn’t be any major expense to correct the situation but we’ll see for sure on Tuesday,” he said.

In other business, the board signed paperwork for a $1,040,000 bond through Maine Municipal Bond Bank. The 20-year bond will be used to acquire the Walter Newell property for $270,000 and build a subsurface wastewater system. DEP inspected the Gilmore Field plan Wednesday and will require modifications to the subsurface system, he said.

Applications for grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been rejected, Davis told the board. One grant was requested to help with an electrical upgrade to the wastewater system and another would have helped with the handicap access to Webster Hall, he said. The grants were denied because the town does not meet the federal threshold for sewer rates, he said. If the town charged more, USDA felt it could support the upgrade. A review of the town’s audits found the town was too affluent for help from the American s with Disabilities Act for Webster Hall work.

The project is anticipated to cost more than $25,000 and will be funded with some money reserved for Webster Hall upgrades at the time of the sale of the former Stanley School.

The board met with playground committee members to discuss the installation of equipment now scheduled for Aug. 9. The town will release $3,760 for landscaping once the equipment is in place.

Franklin County commissioners sought the board’s opinion regarding funding of program grants, Davis said. The county provides funding for some social service agencies but in the board’s opinion, these agencies should come to the individual towns to make requests so that towns that didn’t want to support the agencies would not be charged through the county, he said.
