8:50 Carriage Estates Phase II discussion turned to current on-
site activities, On Friday, May 24, a backhoe was seen in
and around the barn. The workers claimed that they were
only sorting out the material that had been stored there
when confronted by a fire department captain. However,
that same evening, the police stopped two workers as they
prepared to move material off site. The shed was
demolished.
Test wells were put in on May 28, 1991. The Commission was
not notified about the drilling nor were they consulted
about the qualifications of the person who conducted the
test. The Commission requested that, in the future, they
be notified before any activity occurs on site. The Com-
mission requested that a hydrologist certified by the
American Institute of Hydrology (a national professional
certification body) and a geotechnical engineer with exper-
tise in blasting be consulted. It also requested the fol-
lowing:
o "MGL c.21E" subsurface information in the work areas
o an answer to the police violation
o discussion with the Fire Department
o bedrock information on the site
o blasting impacts ,
