A permit for removal of asbestos at the former site of the Green Mountain Race Track in Pownal, Vermont was granted for August 20th and 21st. A bulk sampling taken in July from thirteen horse barns and one bathhouse revealed the existence of asbestos in a stable bathhouse but none in the barns. The owner of the property, Progress Partners, Ltd., filed paperwork with the state verifying the absence of asbestos in the stables, which have already been demolished. According to the Vermont Department of Health, the asbestos can be contained in the bathhouse; it will be removed by David Mack of Catamount Environmental and transported to A&L Salvage Inc. in Lisbon, Ohio.
