They saw a gas tank on the property that needs to be removed; Mr. Nemergut said he would make sure the owner removes the tank. No other problems or concerns are anticipated. Chairman Himmelman will write a memo to the Planning & Zoning Commission to inform them that the site plan has been reviewed and there are no regulated activities proposed on the submitted plan.
NEW BUSINESS

A renewal form has been received for membership renewal in the Connecticut Association of Conservation and Inland Wetlands Commissions. Members agreed to renew the one-year membership with the Conservation Commission. The combined commissions' membership is slightly less expensive than two individual memberships. T.
