Our town contracts for all its winter road maintenance and the contractor owns the sand/salt pile. How is the project priority number determined for our town?
A site assessment, either through a registration form similar to the type towns completed or an on-site visit, was conducted at the sand/salt pile operated by the town’s private contractor. The project priority number for the town is based upon findings from the private contractor’s site, whether located in the town or not, and both the town and the contractor are notified of the priority ranking of the site. A few notes of caution regarding the use of contractors to provide winter road maintenance. First, should the town change contractors and the location of the sand/salt pile, the town must immediately notify the DEP. Changing contractors may change the project priority number for the town. Second, depending on the contractual relationship, either the town, contractor or both parties may be responsible for implementing siting and operational requirements for sand/salt piles under DEP rules. Finally, funds dispersed through this state construction program are only available for publi
