Our town is being asked to move or is voluntarily moving its sand/salt pile from its current location. What does the town need to do?
After October 1999, any municipality moving its sand/salt pile to a new location must (a) register the new site with the DEP and (b) comply with DEP rules, Chapter 574, “Siting and Operation of Road Salt and Sand-Salt Storage Areas.” The DEP also strongly recommends that the town contact the Department for an on-site evaluation of the new location prior to the move. For a copy of the rule or to schedule a site evaluation, call the DEP at (207) 287-7693 or e-mail gregg.wood@maine.gov.
