Subject: Fw: [Templeton MA] BiLaw written with respect to sludge in town (Sent by Bruce Marien, brucewmarien@gmail.com)

(M)Good Day Mr. Marien:

This rumor, like all bad rumors, is unfounded. The appearance of the Casella truck had to do with the driver introducing someone they knew to the farmer, Mr. "Red" Tolman. At this time no materials were spread.

That said, Mr. Tolman will be spreading an organic fertilizer after his first cut of hay. That material has been reviewed by - and approved by - the State both as a product in general and by the State staff who are responsible for managing all of the agricultural contracts on state land in specific. Finally, while this product is not in conflict with the local by-law and the state has actively responded to all of our inquires, you must understand that they are exempt from local regulation should they choose to do so.

I do believe the attached memorandum from Ms. Wiita may provide further information on this that you find useful.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any additional inquires I might respond to.

Many Thanks
Carter Terenzini

Town Administrator
