Dear Resident: Health Director Mr. Richard Day has been in contact with the State DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) regarding this issue from the Aggregate Asphalt plant. A new pavement formulation is quite odoriferous. Unfortunately the change in winds have caused the odor to drift into your neighborhood. Carole McCaul, Dept Asst 978-250-5241.

That is not acceptable. Please keep me informed about when the product they are using has been ordered changed by the Chelmsford Health Department. None of us has control over the winds but we do have control over pollutants in our town. I want to know how this is resolved.

I found the town code on this issue.

§ 195-39Standards established.
The following standards are hereby established:

B.
