Concord's 2229 Main Street Oversight Committee takes lead on Holding Basin cleanup transparency. The committee, composed of volunteer citizens, agreed to coordinate risk communication with the town regarding the upcoming Holding Basin wall construction. Chair Ray Bruttomesso and members Ed Nardi, Len Rappoli, and David Ropiek discussed strategies for community access and public meetings, though the committee's request for engineering members to access the site during construction was denied by the EPA for safety reasons.
The committee has also requested confirmation from EPA consultant de maximis regarding a technical discrepancy: the 100 percent Remedial Design claims 75 percent of the wall will be keyed into bedrock, but supporting documentation suggests the actual figure may be lower.
