Rasco: DEC gave the project a Negative Declaration under SEQR in June 2006, but adds “A coordinated review was not performed.”
March 29, 2010
Rasco received a “Negative Declaration” from DEC under SEQR in June, 2006. This document was brought to our attention during the FOIL process and document review conducted by members of the public.
We believe the DEC would have given this project more scrutiny if a coordinated review had been held. It is now up to the Town of Dover, residents, elected and appointed officials, and the region to protect the Harlem Valley Aquifer (our water supply) and the Great Swamp from potential petroleum contamination, and uphold our Town Code which bans solid waste facilities.

Permit(s) Applied for: Article 27 Title 7 Solid Waste Management
Project is Located: Dover, Dutchess County
Project Description:
RASCO Materials has applied to this Department for a Part 360 Permit to reuse the former T.T. Materials Corp., facility for the processing of Petroleum Contaminated Soils (PCS) into a reusable cold-mix asphalt product known as “Earth-Pave.” The applicant would mix the incoming soils with an emulsion inside the same building at the facility which the previous operator used and temporarily store the resulting material in another existing building at the facility until it is sold. RASCO Materials is also applying for the same tonnage limitations as T.T. Materials, which would limit the facility to no more than 1,000 tons of unprocessed PCS at the facility at any time and no more than 1,000 tons of the reusable product at the facility at any time.
RASCO Materials has also applied to this Department for a Beneficial Use Determination (BUD) to allow the product they produce to be sold as a newly manufactured product, not as a waste product.
The facility is located on a portion of the 133-acre Wingdale Industrial Park, on the west side of NYS Rt. 22, opposite County Road 26 (Swamp River Road), in the Town of Dover, Dutchess County, NY
