Maine board weighs Pittston Eastport refinery plan
The Maine Board of Environmental Protection heard final arguments on Pittston Co. plans to build an oil refinery at Eastport and will issue a ruling after transcript closure next Monday. Pittston president Nicholas T. Camicia challenged a New York Times report saying plans were shelved due to high costs. Northern woodcutting firms say they must hire Canadians as Maine workers are scarce, with 68 employers seeking over 1,600 alien workers for logging camps due to isolation and long weekly stays. critics question the need for aliens and say Americans are available and being overlooked.
