Senator Tom Libous (R – 52nd District) has been one of the legislature’s strongest advocates for hydrofracking. We will ask him about home rule, the dSGEIS and recent criticism by the gas drilling industry.

Vehicle weight limit quoted off by a factor of 10X –80,000 lbs. is the fed max for any truck,
Not the threshold for a road use agreement
Any truck over 10,000 lb. should be subject to permit if the frequency/number of trips to the site are over a certain amount
State law is 10,000 for a road use permit – 8,000 lbs (Ford 350 unladen) has been used for road routing ordinances
For example – New Lisbon =- http://www.townofnewlisbon.com/uploads/documents/TownLaws/T_NL_LL1of2009.pdf
Conditions that trigger a permit need to be defined -as number of trips x time x weight limit
Nutshell if your town and county have not enacted road use laws by D (Drill) Day 1 – you can kiss your roads goodbye
Depending on the benevolence of drilling contractors is not advised.
