Jack Banks announced that
“we are going to spend $260,000
on pollution control equipment
this year.” He further assured
Mr. Bernstein that he has no
intention of mining on the
property along Huntsville Road
which “fh purchased from F.C.
Habblett in 1969. This property
is zoned agricultural by the
township zoning board.
Jim Mahon of Chase Manor
asked about the depth of the
quarry pit. He was told that it is
between 75 and 110 feet deep.
Mr. Banks stated that the
company has a ‘‘temporary
permit until July of 1973 when
the pit will have to be back-
filled to a 35 degree angle.”
Numerous other complaints
were made from residents at
the meeting. Mrs. Donald Innes,
who has recently moved from
Overbrook Avenue to Sutton
Road, cited how much more
intense the blasts are felt at her
new home. The blasts also were
Faber, who lives near Hazel-
tine’s gas station, stated how
the blasting had shaken his
home. Mr. Stokfo related how
recent blasts had apparently
shaken the casing in his well
loose. The well is 168 feet deep
and shortly after the next to the
last shot, his water became
murky.
Questions concerning the
zoning ordinance in the town-
ship were raised. Robert Culp,
zoning officer, stated that ‘‘the
road supervisors have now
given me permission to have
copies made of the zoning map
for the township.” It was
learned that a temporary
variance for mining sand and
gravel had been granted again
this year to Forest Habblett.
However, the variance only
applies to the land which Mr.
Habblett still owns and operates
himself. It does not apply to the

land which had been sold to the
Banks on Huntsville Road in
1969.
Mr. Filip summed up the
aims of the meeting by urging
that an association be formed of
interested citizens. He stated
the purposes of such a group
would be:
1. To discourage the expan-
sion of the Bank's plant and to
stop it where it threatens other
property.
2. To have the present laws
pertaining to pollution enforced
or to have laws passed to deal
with the problem.
3. Toimmediately assist those
who are victims of the situation.
4. To form a committee to co-
ordinate all local, state, and
federal actions.
5. To unite in one class action
to require Banks to comply with
regulations.
6. If the first five items fail, to
bring a suit against the
American Asphalt Paving Co. to
solve the situation.
Those attending were asked
to fill out forms about the type
of damage they may have
sustained and what their con-
cerns were: such as air or water
pollution, poor land use, or the
lowering of property values.
Mr. Bernstein stated that only
those who wish to be members
of the association would be
allowed to attend the next
meeting. In other words it
would be a private meeting, not
open to the public. Before
departing, Bernard Banks
expressed a desire as a tax-
payer to be a member of the
association so that he could
attend the next meeting.
In a phone conversation with
this reporter, Jack Banks,
president of American Asphalt
Paving Co., made this state-
ment, ‘‘We attended the
meeting for the purpose of
finding out about the various

FOR
complaints. We had rumors of
these complaints. We intend to
get along with the community.
Our only objection (at the
meeting) was, outside of the
dramatics, the use of the word
‘uncontrolled’, for the reason
that we, in our industry, have
the tightest control, State and
Federal, of any industry we
know of. We have State and
Federal People on our property
weekly checking on water, dust,
safety and working conditions.
“Blythe Evans has requested
that a committee be formed to
make up a list of complaints and
to meet with us to resolve these
problems. We feel this is an ex-
cellent suggestion and fully
intend to cooperate with this
committee.
‘We have had a private
company investigate the noise
sources for the purpose of
recommending some barrier to
reduce the amount of noise that
goes off the property. We have a
recommendation for a tree-
planting program which we
plan to begin this spring. Most
of the planting will be hybrid
poplars around the borders of
the property and also on the
property. We had the Federal
Soil Conservation Service in
Dallas draw up a plan for the
purpose of aiding drainage so as
to prevent waters on adjacent
streams from being polluted.
We had requested this by June,
1972, but because of the flood,
they were not able to do so. We
just received the plan in
January, 1973. This plan also
includes planting and trench
excavation for diversion of
water. This plan has now been
implemented and we expect to
complete it in this construction
season.’ -

However, it is important, Dr.

examine the child to rule out the
possibility of other more severe

and measles.
