*7:30 P.M. Case #2019-046 (TB #1149) —Wetzel Road Construction Grade Aggregate Recovery Facility (5) 4530 Wetzel Road — Special Permit Referral
Russ Mitchell opened the hearing, Norman Ward of CLA Site and Scott Owens of Barrett Paving presented the plan. This project consists of 46 acres in the middle of an I-1 industrial district.
Will build a gravel road off Wetzel Road into the site.
Russ Mitchell pointed out the applicant had conflicting information on the EAF, one question said there are not wetlands and one question said yes .6 of an acre.
Mr. Owens explained that the retained water is used for suppression; if they can retain water it will be reused. The water crushing systems work on pressure not the volume of water.
Russ Mitchell said he is worried about particulates getting in the air, as well as the noise levels. Mr. Owens said that when the industry started, the crushers were very clanky, they have changed 60 to 70 percent reduction in noise since 1987. He added that the DEC, EPA, and OSHA all have noise limits.
The machines will only work 40 to 55 days a year.
Jim Palumbo asked if the wetlands were DEC wetlands and if they have been delineated. Mr. Owens said they have been. The only DEC wetland is the small piece .6 located at the bottom of the site. If there are berms connected to the wetlands they will have to be maintained, that is where the challenges lie.
Hal Henty said there would be lots of extra truck traffic on Wetzel Road; it was not built to handle that kind of truck traffic.
Michelle Please explain quantities in the annual report regulated inbound.
Hal Henty asked how they can take in only 2 products.

Karen Guinup asked if the Town Board had seen the County comments.
Jim Palumbo said they take asphalt and concrete, there may be rebar and wire mixed in, will it be recycled right away?
Mr. Owens said the crushers have large magnets that grab all the metal, and separate it. Russ Mitchell asked if there were any more comments or questions.
Dave Martin a resident asked the hours of operation Mr. Owens said 8-4:30 Monday thru Friday some nights and weekends.
