At Friday afternoon’s meeting of the Board of Selectmen, the team to mediate with DCAM over the clean up of the Medfield State Hospital site was selected. That mediation team will consist of the following individuals:
- John Thompson, SHERC chair
- Peg Stolfa (the town’s new attorney for environmental issues)
- Bill Massaro, PIP member and active resident
- Kristine Triereweiler, Assistant Town Administrator
- Andrea Stiller, an LSP and town consultant on the clean up
- Ann Thompson, the Board of Selectmen representative as its chair
DCAM announced a willingness to mediate the clean up issues at its March 22 meeting, and the town has elected to engage in that mediation.
I asked that the Board of Selectmen get our new environmental attorney’s opinion as soon as possible on our ultimate legal rights, so we know how much legal leverage the town actually possesses if it opts to exercise those rights.
