Our town sand/salt pile is a Priority 4 (or 5) pile and we don plan to move it to a new location in the foreseeable future. Does the town need to do anything special?
No. The town is no longer obligated to construct a sand/salt storage facility. As long as the sand/salt pile remains at its current site, the sand/salt pile and site is exempt from ground water classification laws. However, both the DEP and the DOT recommend that the town take measures to minimize the impact of the sand/salt pile, as the town is not exempt from civil litigation regarding property damage or salt-contaminated, drinking water wells.
