Residents map water-test sites; one sample near plant showed low chemical levels

The moderator said the group has completed two water tests and has eight more planned; one site taken "right across from" a plant showed only one chemical "and it was fairly low." She noted GPS coordinates were recorded so the group can retest the exact spot at a later time.

Members discussed logistics for repeat sampling (timing at low tide or low flow) and using monthly DEC/DDC reports to identify where carbon-filtration systems have been installed. A participant said a second sample was taken from a stream below the old dump near "Carol," and that the results for that sample are still pending.

Speakers agreed to gather more location data, retest the previously sampled sites when conditions are comparable, and add sampling logistics to the next meeting's agenda.
