Breezy Hill crushing facility environmental study rejected
Town of Riverhead
Summary
Breezy Hill Group VI wants to convert a nonconforming residential property into a C&D debris processing facility with concrete and asphalt crushing. About 60 residents showed up to oppose it, citing noise, dust, truck traffic, and property values. The ZBA can't decide until the Planning Board's environmental review is resolved, so the hearing stays open.

The applicant, a union road contractor that would reuse crushed material on its own road projects, and the local building trades it employs.
Nearby homeowners on Middle Road and in surrounding Calverton neighborhoods, who say they'd bear the noise, dust, and truck traffic.

The board found the draft environmental study for the proposed asphalt and concrete crushing facility inadequate, requiring it to account for the town's new industrial zoning that effectively bans concrete crushing and the Calverton moratorium history.

The project faces steep odds after being rezoned out of legality; the ZBA special exception and a revised environmental study are the remaining paths.
