"Because of the strict permitting requirements for the removal of such debris from the site and winter weather conditions, the work may take as long as two months to complete. No construction permits have been issued and no Department of Environmental Protection permits have been issued other than relating to landfill clean up. Please remember that the work to be performed is strictly related to the proper disposal of landfill materials in accordance with
state law, not the start of any residential construction."
