Devens, Mass., officials have voted to support a proposal by Waltham, Mass.-based construction company W.K. Macnamara to build a construction and demolition recycling plant, according to a report in the Lowell Sun (Lowell, Mass.).
The Devens Enterprise Commission, acting as the Board of Health, has voted unanimously to support the proposal for the 90,000-square-foot, $12 million facility.
The company still needs site-plan approval from the commission, in addition to permits from the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The facility, which has been in the works since March 2005, would be capable of receiving 1,500 tons of material daily from construction and demolition sites. It would accept old corrugated containers (OCC), metal and wood debris, according to the report.
The company hopes to begin construction this spring or summer and have the facility ready for operation by early 2007.
