Asbestos and vermiculite slow demolition at East Dorset Green; remediation planned
Summary
Demolition at East Dorset Green has been paused after vermiculite was found in walls; initial asbestos remediation of floor tiles was completed and the town is coordinating with a remediation firm before continuing demolition.
The Select Board’s minutes state that initial asbestos remediation (floor tiles) has been completed at the East Dorset Green site but discovery of vermiculite in front-wall assemblies prompted a stop-work order. The town is coordinating with a remediation firm to plan appropriate demolition and abatement; the minutes say timing and additional costs are uncertain.
The minutes also record that Poultney-Mettawee Conservation District will plant trees at the Chantecleer site this fall and that FEMA funding for related East Dorset flooding work has unresolved questions; the town manager has inquiries into the Vermont Emergency Management (VEM) status. No new timeline or cost estimate for demolition was provided in the packet.
