IV. Facility Description
The site is a project to install gas line along a length of Cranberry Highway. The
installation involves cutting a trench in the existing pavement, installing pipe, and
backfilling and repaving.
V. Inspection
Mr. Spejewski arrived at approximately 11:00.
A. Opening Conference
Mr. Spejewski asked for a supervisor and was directed to Gualberto Madieros. Mr.
Madieros said he worked for New England Utility Construction (NEUC) and described
the project. Mr. Madieros provided a NUEC contact for further information about
permitting; Bobby Bonollo 617-293-0585.
B. Facility Tour
A gas line along a section of roadway sloping down to a bridge over a stream was being
installed. Two catchbasins were in the roadway downhill of the active trench, with a
gravel stockpile between the active trench and the catchbasins. Mr. Madieros said the
catchbasin covers were bolted down, so he could not install sediment bags. Mr. Madieros
said they had haybales ordered to put around the bridge. Mr. Spejewski noted that
haybales would also effectively protect the catchbasins from sediment.
Mr. Madieros said that the site was cleaned and swept each day, and pointed out on site
the sweeper attachment for a bobcat vehicle.
D. Closing Conference
Mr. Spejewski told Mr. Madieros that he would discuss permit issues with Mr. Bonollo.
On March 8, 2023, Mr. Spejewski called Mr. Bonollo. Mr. Bonollo said the project was
only installing gas line along one stretch of highway. He did not know off - hand the total
area of disturbance but estimated 10,000 linear feet of two - foot wide trench, resulting in
about a half - acre total.
