Spills are never good, but home heating oil isn't as bad as gasoline. The microbes in the soil will consume the fuel oil over time, unlike gasoline, which keeps migrating down in the soil. Ever wonder where all that soil goes once it is contaminated?
It's not only tractors that rollover
- Thread starter ctfjr
- Start date
As if its not bad enough they are working round the clock and temps last night were in lower teens.
I'll drive my tractor us there to see if they need a 'real machine' to help out
as far as the asphalt goes - I meant what are they going to do with the road bed??? It's a fairly busy state road.

They burn it. I had a commercial bldg a while ago and pulled out a 4000 gallon gasoline tank that was like swiss cheese. Fortunately little gas actually got into the ground. I was told everything they took out of the 'grave' was burned.

I've taken route 10 all the way to 67 many times... in a tractor trailer.
these days I'm triaxle dump mostly... and regularly travel from 42 to 67 .... again never saw any signs.
there is a rock quarry in beacon falls (on 42) so trucks are running either way out of there daily..
Yes, its been years since they did.
The cop at the barricade told me they are taking out about 30 20yd dumpsters a day and this will probably go past next weekend.
Walked up there again with the dog this morning. One of the guys there said it will be at least another week before they open the road. He thinks they will have over 10k yds taken out by then, maybe more.
In the meantime I get a call from Fedex saying they can't deliver 2 packages because the road is closed. I explain to him that you can get to us coming from the east, that USPS, Amazon and UPS deliver here every day. He tells me he isn't a driver, only a quality assurance guy and starts to offer me 2 options - that's when I hung up.

man I feel for you..as if FEDEX never hear of GPS and alternate routes.....
meanwhile, IDIOTS here have closed the 2nd access to the real world here, now a 20KM(12 mile) detour to get literally to the other side of the town

They opened the road back today. I haven't seen what they did to put a temporary 'top' to the road. Tomorrow I'll take a walk up there to see. The DEP guy said they removed all the riprap along side of the road (just recently put in to prevent erosion), dug up the pipe going under the road and excavated down 17' well into the watershed area.

Knowing how the State of Connecticut works, if the oil company can't pay for the clean-up, they will do the same thing that they did with all those homes with defective concrete foundations. Put a surtax on your homeowner's insurance policy to pay for someone else's screw-up. As for the foundations, that is a tax that will never go away long after the last foundation is replaced and paid for by the residents of the state. They will just keep collecting the money and dump it into the pool called the state treasury. CT doesn't have an income problem, they have a spending problem, both cities, towns, or state.and the final chapter. . .
