In other business at the West Marlborough supervisors' September meeting on Sept. 4:
-- The board discussed a complaint that many truckloads of spent compost from mushroom houses are being dumped in huge mounds on a field off Hood Road (near the high-tension lines) rather than spread. A nearby farmer is concerned that runoff from the piles will damage his alfalfa crop, and the site is near the headwaters of the White Clay Creek, raising concerns about contamination. The supervisors said the company doing the dumping appears to have all the needed permits from the county, but township engineer Al Giannantonio said he will look into the situation.
-- The board received a report of building permits issued in August, including two to the Irelands to demolish buildings on their newly purchased property at 150 Springdell Road.
-- The board suggested that any residents wanting to do large-scale burning should inform the local fire department and should ascertain whether any burning bans are in effect.
-- Supervisor Hugh Lofting reported that the road crew repaved a few roads and worked on culverts along Hicks and Thouron Roads.
