Title: Reclaiming Ditch Spoil

Abstract: Approximately one year ago. Southern Connecticut Gas Company, in its Bridgeport Division, began recycling its backfill materials by utilizing a facility operated by an outside contractor. The process of recycling backfill material was inifiated when suitable sites for dumping materials became unavailable or scarce in the greater Bridgeport area. A department objective was initiated two years ago to research various alternatives to this growing problem. One of the alternatives was to purchase low cost, unbuildable land and use it for dumping our spoils, but this approach proved to be unsuccessful because such a parcel of land was nonexistent in Fairfield County. The length of time to pursue this alternative involves considerable research, since the location and access to a major highway would have to be a prerequisite for the purchase. In our area, most communities require approval by conservation boards, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, the Planning and Zoning Commissions, and, in some cases, the chief governing body of the community.
