Dear Mr. Eveland:
Please find enclosed, a copy of my inspection report from the saw mill you are
operating at the Hyannis Sand and Gravel property. I have researched the code and I
feel that you fall into 527 CMR 17.00 which regulates saw mills and lumber yards.
Most of your problems are housekeeping in nature and I have outlined the specific
places in the code that you will be required to meet
In regards to your kiln drier located in the truck trailer, you should refrain
from using this device. Although set up as a hot air furnace, I feel that your
chimney/venting system is insufficient This is an opinion only as chimney
construction is under the jurisdiction of the Building Commissioner. In addition to
the type of chimney, I am concerned that any sparks or brands from the burning
wood might contact the blue tarp roofing material that you have on the buildings and
subsequently ignite. In any case, the use of the furnace will require input from the
Building Commissioner and I suggest very strongly that you consult him. We will
also require that a permit be issued for burning of the wood in any kiln operation.
I suggest that you address the fire extinguishers and the amount of
combustible fuels (gasoline and diesel oil)that,you have on the property. The
property is located in a ground protection area also and may require additional
permits to store flammables. We will require that the flammables be stored in a
separate shed, properly placarded with DOT signs and with an impervious, diked
foundation designed to prevent spills into the water table.
I am also concerned regarding the close proximity of your operation to the
power lines located overhead. I will be contacting Commonwealth Electric in order
to get an opinion regarding a fire problem in your mill and it's potential relationship
to the electrical lines. I am most concurred about the life safety of our personnel and
you and your staff.
