Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 2026 A QUEST | FROM Page 3 based on the review of the information, I would request that the board make a motion to include the requests for future agendas,” Fralick said. WIN Waste representatives — including WIN Waste-Saugus plant manager Elliott Casey — attended the Board of Health meeting, but did not off er an immediate response. Board of Health Chair Maria Tamagna later told Casey she hopes that he would bring back the report of the Ash Landfi ll Closure Committee to his superiors at WIN Waste and that they would “consider meeting with us.” “I’ll take that back to the team,” Casey said. Mary Urban, Sr. Director of Communications and Community at WIN Waste, later issued a statement to The Saugus Advocate reiterating the company’s preference to keep the ash landfi ll open. “We have consistently attended the BOH meetings and 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

Ash Landfi ll Closure Committee Chair Manoogian presented Health Board members with copies of a report titled “Presentation to the Board of Health Regarding WIN Ash Landfi ll Imminent Closure,” which included letters and emails from state DEP showing that the life of the landfi ll is nearing an end, based on the permit issued by DEP on T une in to RevereTV next week to watch the 2026 State of www.810bargrille.com Everett Supplies Aluminum 10 Everett Ave., Everett 617-389-3839 Celebrating 6 Years in Business! f www.everettaluminum.com the City Address, delivered by Mayor Patrick Keefe.

Mayor Keefe’s address will cover subjects from key developments, infrastructure imNov. 1, 2017, which was set to expire after 10 years. “They clearly indicate that closure must take place prior to, no later than Nov. 1st, 2027, and that the height cannot go beyond 50 feet,” Manoogian said of the documents, which he hoped would brief the Health Board members well enough so they could participate in the closure process. Panetta said it’s important for the Health Board to be part of the closure process and to understand that process. “The WIN Waste incinerator as well as the ash landfill is the biggest environmental concern that we have within our town,” Panetta said. “And I just think it’s important that our Board of Health be involved as a partner with WIN Waste on not just the closure but also the remediation once that ash landfi ll is indeed closed,” she said. There is also interest from neighboring communities about the future of the ash landfi ll. Loretta LaCentra, an Alliance for Health and the Environment organizer and a Revere environmental activist, was among the concerned citizens who spoke at the meeting. “My neighbors and I living in the Port of Pines and Oak Island neighborhoods are very much impacted by this landfi ll. We do have a vested interest in the closure plan, which we know very little about,” LaCentra said. “Because of that, would it make sense to ask MassDEP, who oversees the closure of the landfi ll, to have a public informational meeting maybe later this spring so that the residents of Saugus, Revere and Lynn would have an opportunity to get a little bit more information?” she asked. “From a MassDEP standpoint, what does the closure plan entail and how do they oversee and confi rm compliance as this closure progresses? I think it would be a great opportunity for additional questions to be asked and answered by our friends at MassDEP.” RevereTV Spotlight provements, the city’s fi nancial outlook, community priorities, and more.
