Mr. Hassett does not believe he could sell his house with asphalt here. He called
the police department. He feels Mr. Clea Blair did not follow rules. DPW went to site. Board of Selectmen referred him to BOH. Rich said he talked to DEP. The regrind is acceptable for reuse. Any volatiles are dissipated. It’s just asphalt not ABC. Rich Stevens will call Fire Chief and call Mr. Hassett to follow up.
