After reading the article this would be a nightmare for the people living near the proposed plant. This paragraph "The company’s hired sound specialist told city officials the 250 to 300 diesel trucks that, according to the company, would be traveling through the neighborhood once the plant is in operation wouldn’t significantly increase the noise. The company’s traffic specialist said traffic would remain normal, even though about 33 trucks are expected to circulate every hour for eight hours daily, based on the company's traffic projections."

Wow, they're just blatantly lying. That's wild and probably way more common than I know

You have no idea. This dude first cropped up with his caricature of a lawyer at a planning meeting last year trying to push this shit.

The owner insists that the smell isn't bad and that he lives near his other asphalt plant in Massachusetts. The residents there also fought him on that plant, lost, and litigation is ongoing because the whole town fucking reeks of that shit. He keeps insisting the fumes are all within "safe levels".

They flat out lied to the planning board about community pushback in Mass.
