Gorham’s consideration of a proposed quarry and asphalt plant will continue in February.

Monday, Gorham planners heard from two independent consultants about the multi-million project Shaw Brothers Construction Inc., of Gorham wants to build. The project would be on a 125-acre site in an industrial zone on Mosher Road.

Sound engineer Scott Bodwell talked about noise issues. Engineer Steve Bushey addressed the drainage plans. Both engineers fielded questions from members of the Gorham Planning Board. Walt Stinson of Sebago Technics represented the construction company.

Some board members advocated a sound monitoring system at the site. But Danny Shaw, co-owner of the construction company, objected to installing a system that isn’t required in town ordinances.

“We are not going to have a noise problem,” said Shaw, who added the Maine Department of Environmental Protection would respond to any noise complaint.

Several opponents of the proposal attended the hearing, the latest in an ongoing series since Shaw Brothers Construction introduced the project to the town in August 2006. In September, the town council updated town ordinances regulating quarries. Critics claimed that the changes favored the project.

Planning board members walked the property with neighbors and construction company representatives on Oct. 27, 2006. Another site walk was held this year on Nov. 18 after the construction company relocated the plant within its property to ease neighborhood concerns about noise.

But on Monday, resident Melinda Shain was still worried about the noise, saying she favored quarterly monitoring.

Jenn Everett said residents are concerned about dust from the quarry and emissions from the asphalt plant. She said health impacts don’t show up for a long time.

Stinson said the project would be required to have an air emissions license from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for both the rock crusher and the asphalt plant.

Gorham’s planners are preparing a list of questions about the project. Shaw Brothers Construction will need to submit a revised plan addressing those questions.
