stronger that traditional sand or salt mixtures, has allowed the budget-strapped state to cut back on spreading sand to reduce snow and ice on its 1,100 mi. of roads. During Nemo, and other potent storms, the salt brine was applied two days before the storm, leaving a chalky coat that bonds with the roadway after the water evaporates. Sand reduction also means less clogging of storm drains and less sediment in rivers and streams. It is only a pre-treatment. Traditional salt and sand are still applied in storms. Such innovations speak to the dilemmas of time and cost facing municipalities when a storm like Nemo shuts them down with no power or travel for days. “Our challenges [plowing roads] were small compared to that of the leaders of the town of Hamden as well as many other municipalities who had similar challenges,” said Sweeney. “It was eye opening to spend some time observing the challenges from the inside of this response effort and, at the same time, listening to a percentage of the public criticizing the efforts of these people trying to help them.
“Some of these people criticized through television and newspaper and websites; some people griped to all that would listen in the local coffee shops and some people took their frustrations out on the actual equipment operators as they cleared snow in front of their homes,” he added. “As a private contractor, I am not accustomed to this uneducated and uninformed criticism. It was not all negative and I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge a very large percentage of wonderful residents who were quite positive along the routes and were quick to provide our operators with food, a hot cup of coffee and a kind word or a thank you along the way.” Sweeney added, “As a lifelong resident of the town of Hamden, I would like to say it was a pleasure to work with this group, and congratulations to all involved, from the Mayor, to the Public Works Department to the fire department to the police department on getting the cleanup completed. Great job to all.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG
