Ledyard The town of Ledyard has ordered DRVN Enterprises to remove road salt that the company was storing in a building at 20 Lorenz Industrial Parkway, a site within 900 feet of the Ledyard Reservoir, Ledyard Mayor Fred Allyn III said.
After the town was made aware Monday of salt storage on the site within the watershed, town Planning Director Liz Burdick informed DRVN Enterprises, a tenant slated to be displaced from State Pier by the end of the month, that the use was not permitted on that site and the salt needed to be removed immediately, Allyn said.
Allyn said DRVN Enterprises President Steve Farrelly was very understanding and mobilized trucks to move the salt. As of Tuesday morning, most of it had been removed.
