Selectboard approves Pike Industries storage at town gravel pit with written cleanup conditions
Summary
The Royalton Selectboard approved allowing Pike Industries to store recycled asphalt at the town gravel pit while repaving a nearby interstate segment, provided the agreement is documented in writing and includes cleanup and material-return conditions.
The Selectboard voted to allow Pike Industries to store recycled asphalt at the town gravel pit for a temporary period while it repaves a segment of the interstate. A town staff member explained the company is bidding to repave Exit 3 to Exit 4 and “are hoping that they can use our gravel pit area to store about 20,000 tons of recycled asphalt,” and that the company would leave some processed material behind for town use.
Board members emphasized written terms for the arrangement. One committee member said the board should require documentation and a cleanup guarantee; the same member moved to allow the storage with those conditions and the motion was seconded and carried. The staff member noted a town equipment operator inspected the pit and estimated roughly 4,000 yards of processed material would be left by the contractor, though the exact amount was not final. The board asked that the agreement state the timeframe (April–October) and specify that leftover material would be cleaned up or remain only as agreed. The motion passed unanimously.
