What? Do they think we’re stupid?
Triple T Trucking is at it again. They are persistent with putting their dump in Winchester. The first time they came to town with their dump proposal it was called a “Resource Recovery Park”. Nice green name that makes you want to go have a picnic there. This time they are coming in under the guise of a “Commercial / Industrial Park”. Admittedly we don’t want to have a picnic there, but hey it just might bring in some business that would help out with the taxes and create some jobs. Wrong!
The only businesses that “N&M Properties of Vermont” is planning on marketing to are a recycling center and composting facility, along with a sand & gravel pit to boot, all owned by Triple T Trucking. Guess what? N&M Properties of Vermont is owned by the same two guys. Aw shucks, the new selectman fell for that one…we set him straight.
To all 679 of my neighbors that voted March 3rd not to allow this proposal and to all the other neighbors that couldn’t make it, please mark your calendars for Monday, May 18 at 7 pm Town Hall. Grab your neighbors and friends and let’s remind these guys that we DON’T WANT THEIR TRASH in Winchester. Let’s also show them that (as my neighbor Wendy Smith so kindly put it), we are not the provincial rubes that they think we are!

These guys are not going to give up unless we show them and our town officials that "NO" means "NO" .. and in order to do that everyone needs to show up at this meeting and let them know we won't be ignored or pushed around, that this is our town.

RE: Triple T Materials Recovery Facility
Winchester, New Hampshire
S&A #: 08-002
Dear ( names removed for privacy )
This letter is to notify you that N&M Winchester Properties is applying for a Dredge and Fill in Wetlands Permit for the proposed construction of a commercial/industrial park that will impact approximately 27,000 square feet of unnamed wetlands.
In accordance with the New Hampshire Fill and Dredge in Wetlands Law (RSA 482-A), we are sending certified mail notification to the Town of Winchester and all the abutters within a ¼ mile of the proposed improvements.
The proposed project is located on Route 119 in Winchester, across from the Old Ashuelot Road/Route 119 intersection. Please refer to the attached USGS map showing the location of the project parcels and the approximate limits of work on those parcels.
N&M Winchester Properties had originally proposed a Materials Recovery Facility for the site which would take a waste product (organic wastes) and convert it into a saleable commodity (compost). However, local zoning changes would be required for such a facility and these changes are being pursued by the property owner. However, the parcel may be used for other allowable uses in a small commercial/industrial park. As the varying uses on the project site do not alter the proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetland, we are proceeding with the permit application.
Once certified mail receipts have been received for all parties, complete copies of the application will be sent to the Winchester Town Clerk and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
Sincerely,
Peter Hetzel
