[quote="On Dec. 06, 2001 on Page B3 in edition 1 of the Bangor Daily News in an article titled "Junkyard owner back in jail; Meddybemps man violates probation, says cleanup under way", Mary Anne Clancy, BDN Staff"]“We have some railroad boxcars on the side of the brook, but not in it,” he said.
Smith said his junkyard includes approximately 18 acres on each side of the brook, but in order for him to remove 36 acres of material, he would need another 36 acres to deposit it on.
Smith said his “long-term goal” is to “totally get out of the scrap business, clean it up and comply with state law.” But he is basically “a one-man show” and doesn’t have the money to do it, he said.
In closing arguments, Assistant District Attorney Carletta Bassano said nothing has changed at Smith’s site in years.
“Mr. Smith’s not doing anything,” Bassano said. “He’s only getting rid of the tires he can sell.”[/quote]
