LIVERMORE — Facing an Aug. 1 deadline from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, voters at Wednesday’s annual town meeting will decide whether to build a sand/salt shed.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. June 10 at the Livermore Community Center.

Administrative Assistant Carrie Castonguay told selectpersons last week that the DEP and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection have sent letters advising to notify state officials by Aug. 1 whether the town intends to build a shed.

If the town doesn’t, there will be no waivers for groundwater contamination, as are currently in place, and a DEP license would be required. A 1 percent loan is available through the DEP for construction.

The shed would be 60 by 120 feet with 4-foot frost walls to hold 3,600 yards of sand/salt mix. The 20-foot high walls would include 12 feet of cement. There would be scissor trusses, an exterior metal roof and sides.

In other business, the board unanimously voted, pending voter approval Wednesday, to hire Bruce A. Manzer Inc. of Anson to pave River Road for $419,440. It was the lowest of two bids.

E.L. Vining & Sons of Farmington bid $664,417.

The select board also voted unanimously last week to pursue court action against the owner and tenant of property on River Road littered with debris.

Code Enforcement Officer Richard Marble provided photographs of the area that showed tires, metal, tarps and other debris littering the ground.

Selectperson Rod Newman made a motion to authorize Marble to pursue court action against the property owner and tenant. It was seconded by Peter Castonguay and unanimously voted.

Selectpersons also agreed to close the Town Office at noon Tuesday, June 30, so staff can do year-end bookkeeping and reporting for fiscal year 2014-15.
