Metal Shredding Plant Concerns

Metal Shredding Plant Concerns - Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at 12:31PM EST

HANOVER TOWNSHIP-It was a meeting of pointed fingers and pointed accusations. Residents of the Breslau area of Hanover Township bringing up issues of strong vibrations, cracked foundations and health concerns and at an informational meeting at the Hanover municipal building. - The meeting was with officials from DMS Shredding Incorporated, a company that shreds metal, but is working to repair relationships with area residents.

Lee Ann Wallace told us, "There are explosions whether they are related to gas there's a question....there's a question about air quality because of constant crushing of metal".
She adds "If you go to the Breslau Section you'll see an area 3 football fields long and about 30 to 60 feet high of un-crushed metal".

Zoning for the business was approved in 1998 but neighbors say there have only been problems the last 2 or 3 years. DMS officials claim they are not the only business in the area and not the sole cause of their neighbors complaints..

Andrew Wascura is the General Manager, DMS Shredding, Inc. "It wasn't just our company, there's other companies involved. As far as the complaints- I was not made aware of these complaints .
Wascura adds "The 3 or 4 times I was made aware I went out to peoples houses and addressed their concerns."

DMS officials say they will look into mitigating the concerns that their company can address and agreed to have another meeting with residents a month from now. Residents tell us they look forward to that meeting and hope the metal shredding company has the desire and "mettle" to alleviate their concerns.
