Figure 8 Proposed Vehicle Storage Area at the landfill

To free-up land near State Road, we need to provide an alternative site for the trucks, vans, and autos that are now stored in this area.  One possible location for these uses is the landfill. The landfill is capped and no buildings can be constructed on it for at least twenty years. However, we can park vehicles there. There are more than five acres of land within the landfill that the town can designate this area as an automotive storage zone and encourage owners of trucks, trailers and other large scale vehicles and equipment to locate there.  

Much of this land is within our Zone II water protection area so care would have to be taken to insure that leaks from vehicles were not absorbed into the soil.
