7. Visitor Comments:
Mike Shrewsbury — Alaska Waste was in the process of swapping out all the containers at the
airport that are not bear resistant.
8. Board Member Comments:
Jeff Stewart — He asked for further information on the bears and dumpsters at the Landfill.
Nathan Svoboda — He inquired about the letters sent to three local grocers regarding their
unused food practices. There were no responses.
Steven Neff — Since the incinerator was shut down, he questioned what was being done with
biohazard materials and the cost. The Borough was referring public to call a company called
Entech out of Anchorage. They send the appropriate container and you mail it back to them.
Bob Gray — Discussed with the board contaminated soil and how the USCG treats it using a dirt
burner.
Jennifer Culbertson — Explained to the board the airport situation with bears and dumpsters
that need to be bear resistant. The High School students have been making aluminum bear
resistant lids to go onto the existing dumpsters. She was looking for funding to continue to buy
materials for the students to continue.
Dennis Symmons — The SWAB Advisory Board runs a tight ship. Everyone was very involved and
took their position on the board seriously. Loved the fact they asked interesting questions.
