Fax: (978) 740-9705
Please allow me to follow up on our telephone conversation regarding the
trucking of fly ash from New England Power Company, on Fort Avenue in Salem,
by your company.
As we discussed, the Board of Health had received a complaint about material
leaking from the truck as it drove on Fort Avenue You explained that particular
loads carry "bottom ash" which is wet You agreed to line the trucks carrying the
bottom ash in order to prevent the leaking.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter
Sincerely yours,
