Mr. Thibeault is one of the owners of the dump facility near Stop and Shop on the Parkway. You know the facility that grinds wood into chips and the resulting dust covers your car in the parking lot. The same place that smells bad all the time and currently is in violation of DEP regs.
Funny how no one wants to do anything about this sleazeball.
If Carlo is accepting money from this scumbag then there is something very bad going on behind the scenes. If I remember correctly Ravenesi is very good friends with this guy and his sleaze sister as well. Birds of a feather so to speak.

| I have not seen any lies posted here about the mayor. I have read many posts where people have commented on the way the mayor has run the city over the past year and a half. That is not bashing or lying, that is criticism. We all have a right to our opinions. |

The only place you could have it in City Hall would be at ECTV. You couldn't use the Council Chamber or either of the meeting rooms for it. Even ECTV might be reluctant to have it at their studios. If another organization was sponsoring it, I'm sure ECTV would film it and show it on local access.
Having one of the candidates run it would be tricky. At one time Ed Connolly and for a time I think John McCarthy would host a rally at the Parlin the Sunday prior to the election, but it wasn't a debate forum. No questions were allowed. Candidates were given a period of time to speak. That's covered now through the programs that ECTV does for the elections each year where the candidates can make or submit their own tapes touting their candidacy.

Emile, Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the city involved in a court action with Wood Waste? If that is the case, why would any of the candidates go any where near Mr. Thibeault? Maybe that dump site on lower Broadway, that we read about earlier, isn't so far fetched. |

I say go right to the source, call Carlo, ask him " if elected, what his plans for lower broadway would be?", remain anonymous if you feel more comfortable, get the truth though and never mind these inflated rumors.
C'mon who in their right mind would allow a dump in Everett, they would never get reelected.

| Sorry, I don't buy this dump site business at all and neither should anyone. Once again this is more BS coming from another mayoral candidate. No way is a dump site in Carlo's vision for the future of Everett. |

| I am a close personal friend of Joe's and I have never tried to hide who I am supporting for mayor. Joe has never mentioned one word to me about Carlo, bad, good or otherwise. That really isn't his style. The first I heard of this Thibeault thing is on the blogs. My hope is that all of the candidates are smart enough to stay away from Mr Thibeault. |

| Well then - let's determine whether or not Mr. Thibeault actually hosted this event. That would speak volumes if it's not so. |

| It will also speak volumes if it ends up being true. This city is too small, everything has a way of coming out eventually. |

Court, My Friend,
Do you recall the status of any ongoing legal action against Wood Waste of Boston by the City?
I can't imagine Kryzovic having the stomach to actually pursue litigation.
Thibeault just sits back and waits for a change of administration. Any litigation just falls through the cracks.

UNITED STATES
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATOR
In the matter of
)
)
Wood Waste of Boston, Inc.,
)
Docket No. CWA0120060090
)
Respondent
)
ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT=S MOTION TO COMPEL ATTENDANCE AND TESTIMONY
In this case, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (AEPA@ or Athe Agency@) charges that Wood Waste of Boston, Inc. (AWood Waste@), violated the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit program under the Clean Water Act (Athe Act@). 33 U.S.C. '' 1251 et seq. Specifically, EPA alleges that from September, 1999, to the date of the complaint=s issuance of November 15, 2006, Wood Waste failed to have a permit as required by Section 308 of the Act. 33 U.S.C. ' 1318. EPA also alleges that respondent discharged storm water associated with industrial activities in violation of Section 301. 33 U.S.C. 1311. For these violations, the government seeks the maximum civil penalty of $157,500.
Wood Waste denies these charges and, accordingly, a hearing has been scheduled in this matter to commence on March 13, 2007. Respondent now moves to require the Aattendance and testimony@ of certain unidentified witnesses at this hearing to determine Athe procedure and methodology@ by which the Agency calculated the proposed penalty. Mot. at 1. Specifically, Wood Waste Amoves that the Presiding Officer require the attendance and testimony of any and all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (>EPA=) staff who participated substantively in EPA=s determination that $157,500.00 is an appropriate penalty for the violations alleged in the Complaint.@ Id. Respondent argues that A[t]he requested testimony is significantly probative as to the appropriateness of the penalty sought by Complainant,@ and that the testimony is needed Ato ascertain whether the proposed penalty is an arbitrary and capricious abuse of discretion.@ Mot. at 2 & 4. Respondent also argues that the requested testimony is needed Ato determine the weight@ apparently given by Complainant to each of the Clean Water Act=s statutory penalty factors in calculating the proposed penalty.
EPA opposes respondent=s motion. In its opposition, EPA represents that the civil penalty that it proposes in this case is the result of the Agency=s evaluation of the evidence expected to be introduced at hearing, and not (as is usually the case) the result of an EPA employee performing penalty calculations pursuant to a formula prescribed in an Agency penalty policy. Thus, it is the government=s view that Wood Waste=s request simply cannot be accommodated.
Under the circumstances of this Clean Water Act case, EPA=s position is correct. 1 Here, EPA has pled the statutory maximum penalty and whether such a penalty will be assessed (i.e., assuming that liability has been established) is to be determined through an evaluation of the record evidence alone. See 33 U.S.C. 1319(g)(3). To the extent that Wood Waste argues that such a methodology is Aarbitrary and capricious,@ this argument is rejected. Indeed, respondent=s assertion that this tribunal is illequipped
Afor translating fact patterns into penalty figures@ is off the mark. Reply at 1. That is precisely the role of this tribunal should the government establish that a violation occurred. So too is respondent=s assertion that a denial of its motion would relieve EPA of its burden of proof as to penalty. This assertion has no merit as it is undisputed that the government bears the burden of proof on this issue and further, that any penalty assessment will be based entirely upon the evidentiary case that the government establishes at hearing.
Accordingly, Wood Waste has made no showing that it is entitled to the relief that it requests and, therefore, its motion is denied.
Carl C. Charneski Administrative Law Judge
Issued: January 3, 2007 Washington, D.C.
1
Were this a case in which EPA actually applied the methodology of a penalty policy to calculate a proposed penalty, then a different result likely would obtain.

EVERETT
EPA may fine firm for alleged violations
An Everett-based construction and demolition recycling company is facing a fine of up to $157,500 for allegedly violating the federal Clean Water Act. The Environmental Protection Agency said Wood Waste of Boston has been discharging storm water from industrial activities without a permit into Island End River, which feeds into the Mystic River. The EPA also alleges Wood Waste has not created a plan to prevent storm water pollution , a violation of the Clean Water Act. Officials from Wood Waste of Boston did not return telephone calls seeking comment. |
