At
the November 10, 2020 South Hadley Selectboard meeting a developer
working in the disposal industry presented a proposal to use space at
the now-closed solid waste facility at 600 New Ludlow Road for
construction soils that cannot be used onsite because of site
constraints, geotechnical properties, or levels of contamination of the
materials. The South Hadley facility was closed and capped in 2014, with
groundwater testing and environmental monitoring to continue. The
Selectboard has encouraged Closure Management, the Holyoke company
formed in 2019 that made the proposal, to attend meetings of the
Conservation Commission, Board of Health, and Planning Board to gauge
interest and possible support.
The public is also being encouraged to review the proposal and comment on the project using a Google Form set up by the Town. A recent news story published on November 12, 2020 in the Daily Hampshire Gazette provides some additional information.
