PINEHILL, LANCASTER – GRAVEL PIT RECLAIMATION
Tom Christopher of Resource Management, Inc. and Rhona Balco were present for the discussion.
Tom Christopher met with the Board with regard to the Gravel Pit owned by Mr. Farnsworth on Pinehill in Lancaster. The majority of this site is in the Town of Lancaster, with a smaller parcel in Bolton. Sand was taken from this pit to cap the Bolton landfill. Most all of the good soil has already been removed from the property. The reclaimation process consists of using short paper from recycled paper, mix it with sand and then turning it into soil. This requires a DEP permit to spread the material and the concurrence of the Town of Bolton to proceed with the project.
After discussion, the Board voted to review the information and provide a letter once the members of the Board have had an opportunity to review the information package provided to the Board.
Rhona Balco voiced concern about metals testing at the site and the removal of the existing top soil. Mr. Christopher stated that they do metals testing and the results are typically lower than the natural soils, with the exception perhaps of copper.
