“Dover Residents Question Legality of Rasco Application”
April 24, 2010
The Millbrook Independent, one of the local newspapers covering Dover, reported on the Planning Board meeting on April 5, 2010, at which the public commented on the Rasco Application for Site Plan Approval before the Board.
“Many environmental and local watchdog groups made written and oral comments that expressed deep concern about the potential effects of the proposed cold asphalt operation which would store and transport PCS [Petroleum Contaminated Soil] to and from the former Wingdale industrial park. The Housatonic Valley Association stated: “The application, as submitted lacks sufficient information to assure the Town that no contamination of the site and adjacent land and water resources will occur. We strongly urge the Planning Board to require a full SEQRA (State Environmental) review of this application.”

Rasco: Dover Planning Board continues Public Hearing, April 19, 2010

[Planning Board] Member Johnson- you had valid permits, there was a stop work order, and the permits were taken away and it took 5 years to get permits, that’s not voluntary. If it was voluntary, your permits would have been kept up and the place would have never been shut down for 5 years. You pull your gas tanks out or you can get rid your permits – it sounds like you lost your permits-
Jon Adams- you’re arguing case law- it’s been established from different attorneys.
Member Johnson- But neither of them represents the Planning Board.”
