October 10, 2007 - A coal tar dumpsite off Liberty Hill Road should be entirely cleaned up, in the view of area residents and other townspeople and local officials who attended an open forum on the issue.
The comments came in response to representatives of the state Department of Environmental Services who are recommending that most, but not all of the coal tar deposit that has existed in the area for more than 50 years be removed.
While members of DES have rejected the proposal by KeySpan Energy to contain 99.95 percent of the 121,000 tons of coal tar material in the ground of the Gilford neighborhood, citizens found the monetary rationale behind not mandating complete removal of the coal tar less than satisfactory.
