Barletta Heavy Division, Inc. would like to thank the employees of W.L French for their services during our recently completed North Dorchester Bay CSO Tunnel project in South Boston for the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA). During this project, W.L French provided soil management and disposal services to remove almost 250,000 tons of material. More importantly, almost 100,000 tons of this material was removed over a 9 month tunnel construction period. W.L. French consistently worked with Barletta to identify cost effective disposal facilities and diligently worked to get these facilities approved with representatives of the MWRA and MADEP. Without their extensive knowledge of the current regulations and available disposal facilities, there would have been significant delays with the tunnel construction. W.L French’s services were reliable and consistently provided the requested amount of trucks so that at times almost 1000 tons of material could be removed from the site on a daily basis. When any problems or questions occurred, there was always a W.L. French person to contact that could provide an immediate answer and resolution.
We appreciate the work W.L. French performed on this project and look forward to continuing services with W.L. French in the future.
Sincerely,

I am pleased to provide the following recommendation letter in support of the construction activities and professionalism of W. L. French Excavating Corporation during the ongoing reclamation of the Rowe Quarry site in Malden and Revere, Massachusetts In preperation for the Highlands at Overlook Ridge development. As you are aware, Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM) has been working with Roseland Property Company to support the permitting and construction activities for the project. In addition, we have been working with French and Precision Environmental Services to complete the quarry reclamation activities which include the environmental review and acceptance of off-site fill materials for delivery and placement/compaction within the former Rowe Quarry site. The Rowe Quarry site has undergone extensive local, DEP and EPA reviews and approval during permitting as well as ongoing oversight by these agencies - to date all activities of W.L. French have been carried out in accordance with the technical specifications for placement and compaction of fill materials from off-site sources. French has been the primary party responsible for succesfully identifying and securing off-site fill materials. Ultimately this project will involve the placement and compaction of approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of fill materials from off-site sources, along with extensive site grading, utilities and construction of more than 2000 units of housing along with supporting commercial development. To date French has completed approximately 25% of the fill delivery and placement activities, with no major problems or delays. In fact the activities of French have been exceptional in relation to the fill placement and site management activities. We look forward to completing this project with French. Robert O. Button |
