In
response to litigation filed by local residents, the Freetown Soil Conservation
Board held a further public hearing on Cape Cod Aggregates’ request to renew
the permit that allows them to blast, remove and process materials at their
quarry.
At
the April 2nd hearing, Cape
Cod Aggregates disclosed that they have been violating 8 of the 24 conditions
in their current permit and offered for the first time to begin monitoring
water at the quarry in an effort to address potential issues about
water supply and quality.
Not

with an opportunity to tell the Board their story and voice their concerns
about the quarry.
