ASH DELIVERY STREAM-LINED

Thanks to Senator Tom Saviello,   new legislation allows clean wood ash to be stock-piled,  as long as "run-off" guidelines are followed.  Joe Haley of M&H has graciously offered his Oquossoc shale and gravel pit as a central distribution center.   
Special thanks to Stratton's ReEnergy Biomass Plant for transporting their wood ash biproduct  to our  Rangeley distribution center.  It's a win-win:  We take their unwanted biproduct, and they don't have to transport the ash to a transfer Station in Norridgewock.  

 From Oquossoc Shale and Gravel Pit,  volunteer trucks, like Mark Beauregard,
 M & H, and Doug Burlingame, load  the ash to take it to nearby log landings.

Joe Haley, big supporter from the start,  checking out the dumped ash on a Seven Islands' winter road .

   

Micheal Koob, from Koob's Garage, after long hours,  spreading ash with his Kubota and raking it into the soil at dusk.  Only took 45 minutes, wow!

   



And finally,  Rick Baker seeding the Seven Islands' winter road. With the ATV-attached seeder, it only took one hour.  The evenly-scattered  seed spreads about 8 feet on each side.  Ron Ray of Cupsuptic Fabrication  also seeds.  

THESE BUSINESSES CAN BE THANKED THROUGH YOUR SUPPORT OF THEIR SERVICES.
