Overview

Works with town staff, appropriate consulting and engineering firms, and other town boards and committees to ensure the protection of the Town of Amherst's aquifer. It does this by:

1. monitoring the presence or possible introduction of hazardous and/or toxic materials into the aquifer,
2. reviewing and making recommendations on acceptable closure plans for sand and/or gravel pits,
3. analyzing the significance of trends in data monitored in the aquifer, and
4. insuring the timely and efficient implementation and administration of the Geraghty and Miller ground water management and monitoring plan.

The committee makes its recommendations to the Select Board and the Town Manager.
