SAUGUS – Representatives from Wheelabrator updated the Board of Health Monday night on several new projects and improvements at the trash-burning facility, some of which have been completed since last appearing before the board in January.Jairaj Gosine, Regional Manager for Wheelabrator, said a new wheel wash for trucks, an ash de-watering system and a new enclosure around the trash conveyor are among the projects that have been completed.He said a new runoff collection system for the tipping floor is still in the works as are repairs to a broken fish return line. The fish return is a pipe that returns fish to the marsh that get sucked up by the water intake pipe.The board also received a copy of an environmental audit report from Environ, a firm contracted by the Attorney General?s office to perform quarterly inspections at the plant.?There were 20 pages of issues brought up by Environ,” said board member Pamela Harris. “I thought at the very least it showed loose practices or certainly practices that aren?t up to par to get the plant on the day-to-day ? It doesn?t sit well with me.”Gosine said the report contained mostly “administrative findings” and noted Wheelabrator has responded to most of them, however, some board members disagreed with his assessment.?I see some recommendations that I think are more than just administrative,” said Board of Health Chairman Joe Vinard. “They affect the operations of the plant and the surrounding neighborhood.”Some of the issues raised in the report include dust from the tipping floor in the plant and Ph testing of ash. The board will go over the recommendations in detail at its next meeting.Residents of Gianna Drive and Richardson Circle updated the board on their ongoing issues with Rocky Hill Farm, which neighbors say is the source of foul odors and a seagull problem.Since appearing before the board last month, Richardson Circle resident Mark Sweeney and Gianna Drive resident Frank Cambria said the seagulls have disappeared.?We haven?t seen birds in four weeks,” said Cambria.Sweeney also noted he hasn?t seen seagulls and said he thinks the farm-owners have scaled back their compost production.The neighbors still had issues with loud noises coming from the farm, and the board advised them to call the police whenever they hear the noises to have it documented.The board also heard from Joyce Redford of the North Shore/Cape Ann Tobacco Alcohol Policy Program regarding updates to the town?s tobacco regulations, which includes restrictions on e-cigarettes, and will cut down on stores that sell tobacco from 35 to 32. The board set a date of May 7 for a public hearing on the proposed changes.Matt Tempesta can be reached at [email protected].
