The Grafton and Upton Railroad (G&U) will be filing a full response with the Surface and Transportation Board (STB) regarding the recent petition filed by the Upton Petitioners. The Upton Petitioners have requested the board take into consideration documents discovered after the set deadline for final replies.
Doug Pizzi, spokesman for the G&U issued the following statement today.
The G&U and its legal counsel are still reviewing the Petition to Supplement the Reply filed by the Upton Petitioners with the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB). The G&U will be filing a full response with the STB after completion of its review. For now, G&U owner Jon Delli Priscoli would state that, “The Railroad has no contractual relationship(s) with Dana Container, Inc.” The Railroad’s initial review as of this date, indicates that only Grafton Upton Railcare, as the transloading agent for the G&U, was and is involved. The G&U received and accepted the original Notice of Responsibility under MGL c. 21E, 310 CMR 40.0000 from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). All paperwork that the G&U received from DEP is in the name of the Grafton & Upton Railroad, and DEP is satisfied with the response and remediation efforts.
