LaFarge material review underway

Environmental experts at C.T. Male and Associates are currently determining whether emissions reports and other materials provided by LaFarge Cement should be reviewed by C.T. Male or another firm.

Board member John Vadney and Facilities Director Eugene Doane reported at Monday's meeting that C.T. Male's Mike Sawyer "is reviewing the materials provided to determine if they can handle the review or another firm that specializes in the area is needed.

"'In my opinion, we really need to move forward and have somebody look at it," said Doane.

Upon the request of district officials and the Board of Education, LaFarge is providing "stacks" of material on mercury emissions from the plant, which is located directly across state Route 9W from the middle and high school campus.
