MESUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION AMETING <br />Monday, March 20,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Fretham stated they hope it is a three-year project, but that if it does not work after a year, they will <br />probably shut it down. Fretham stated he would like to try it for at least a year. <br />Lemke asked what will happen with the site after the process is done. <br />Fretham indicated they would need to restore the site to a similar condition as before. <br />Lemke asked whether a deal breaker would be if there is a restriction on bringing in other materials from <br />other sites. <br />Fretham stated it could be since at this time he has not gotten a commitment from the contractor on how <br />much material will be brought in.

Gaffron <br />stated there are a lot of things that go into a landfill and that he would like to know what the NUCA's <br />views are on the proposed use for the site. <br />Fretham. indicated they have spoken with the NIPCA but that they have not really spoken with them about <br />the recycling activities.
