Construction at the Sutton Brook Disposal Area Superfund Site has started to increase now that the snow has finally melted, according to the latest update from the EPA. This also means the site will be active and regular deliveries of materials, supplies or equipment will continue moving forward.

What else residents should expect:

• Large volume soil deliveries and associated truck traffic may start as soon as April 13, 2015. Once large volume soil deliveries have started, they are expected to continue through the fall of 2015.

• Once landfill capping commences, April 13 or April 20, operating hours will extend up to 6 or 7 pm as daylight allows. In addition, during landfill capping, the Site will also be active on Saturdays. Landfill capping is expected to continue uninterrupted through the fall of 2015.

• While an occasional equipment or material delivery may occur on a Saturday, soil deliveries (which accounts for almost all truck volume) will occur on weekdays.
