Tocci Brings Sterling Reputation, Years of Experience to Each Project By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
When you work in a town named Sterling, your reputation had better be. John Tocci learned every aspect of the construction business at his father’s knees and is now passing that knowledge to his own grandson who has joined two of his companies full time. Tocci is the founder and owner of two successful firms in the Sterling/Leominster area — JJT Excavating and Construction and Asphalt Rehab and Restoration. “My company was founded in 2006 with a backhoe and a one-ton dump truck,” said Tocci of JJT Excavating and Construction Co. “At that time, I had one employee. Over the years, as the jobs became more involved, I added several pieces of equipment, so that I compete in the bidding for municipalities and larger companies. “With the added equipment I am able to excavate and do the site work in a shorter period of time than I did in the beginning with just two pieces of equipment,” said Tocci. Behind Tocci’s work is a cumulative 30 years of project experience. His excavating services include digging, earth moving, earthwork, land clearing and topsoil removal services to prepare an area for construction or below-ground service. JJT Excavating and Construction now uses equipment such as bulldozers, dragline excavators, dump trucks, frontend loaders, hydraulic compact excavators and skid loaders. Many More Services The firm also specializes in services such as Tocci’s company can provide deep excavation services for basement excavation and foundation preparation; structures such as basements, office buildings and commercial clearing land for driveways and retaining walls; facilities. tree removal and dredging ponds and marshes. Additional areas of expertise include sediment and erosion control; demolition and lot cleanup and topsoil such as basements, office buildings and commercial facilireplacement and underground utilities. In addition to per- ties.

“My expertise in the trade came from my father who was in construction his whole life,” said Tocci. “From him, I have learned all the aspects in the construction industry, from digging to grading the earth. Now, I am teaching my grandson the business and it is heartwarming to know he loves it as much as I do. “Some of my equipment includes a Kubota KX121 and Komatsu PC78, which are two different-sized excavators, a skid steer with different attachments, including a cold planer to cut asphalt and a sweeper for parking lots and garages,” said Tocci. “I also have added an 8-yard dump truck and a tri-axle Mack dump truck.” JJT Excavating and Construction provides a complete line of high quality land clearing and excavation to the central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire area. The company can clear and remove everything from apple trees to rocks and stones, according to the Web site. JJT has a complete line of equipment to perform the biggest or smallest jobs: • Site clearing • Excavation • Backfill • Soil compaction • Trenching • Sub-grade prep • Soil stabilization • Foundation removal • Retaining wall

Asphalt Rehab and Restoration Employs Technology on Roads TOCCI from page 4
respond immediately in emergency situations such as heavy rain, high winds, hail, water main breaks and damaged property. Grandfather and grandson do even more. “During the winter months, my grandson plows, sands and hauls snow for several large parking lots for a few companies that I have contracts with, while I plow for the city of Leominster,” said Tocci. According to Tocci a contactor has to learn to be versatile to survive in the excavation industry. A day can turn on a dime. “The construction business is very unpredictable,” Tocci said. “Every day is different and sometimes changes in a second. You could be planning to do one job on any day of the week and then it changes because of an emergency water break, or sewer back, which in my business, is a priority. “Some of my work comes by word of mouth and some from my web page by Kreative Dezign,”

Portland Pipeline Sparks Lifespan Regulation Debate By David Sharp ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) One of two pipelines stretching from Portland to Montreal has surpassed its life expectancy, an environmental group said Thursday, citing court documents. The Portland Pipe Line Corp. dismissed the assertion as “grossly misleading” and said its dual pipelines can operate safely for years to come. Based on filings in a tax dispute in New Hampshire, the National Wildlife Federation said an 18-in. (45.7 cm) pipeline built in 1950 is four years beyond its anticipated retirement age. A 24-in. (61 cm) pipeline that runs alongside the smaller pipe was built in 1965, so it has more than a decade of use left, the environmental group said. Owners of the pipeline company had agreed with the federal officials’ 60-year projected lifespan for purposes of a case in the 1990s in which it had disputed its tax assessment in Gorham, N.H. A pipeline spokesman accused the environmental group of deliberately using technical property appraisal terms out of con-
text, “all in a ploy to scare the public.” The technical evaluation cited in the court documents was based on the pipeline’s projected economic and functional viability according to market conditions at the time, and that theoretical number had nothing to do with the length of time the pipelines can be operated safely, said spokesman Jim Merrill. Modern pipelines, unlike older cast-iron pipelines, can be operated indefinitely if properly maintained and inspected, according to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. “The U.S. DOT pipeline regulations do not set a lifespan limit on the use of any pipeline. As long as a pipeline is properly maintained and meets all of the safety regulations requirements, it can continue in use,” said Gordon “Joe” Delcambre Jr., spokesman for the agency, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Skip Sansoucy, a utility appraiser who assessed the pipeline’s value for the town, said he’s confident that the pipeline can continue operating beyond 60 years, noting that the company has a great safety record. On the tax side, though, he’s served as an expert witness against the company during hard-
fought battles over property taxes. The pipeline company is trying to have it both ways, Sansoucy said, when using the 60-year service life for tax purposes even though the pipeline can be safely operated longer. Environmentalists fear the smaller pipeline, which is idle, could be used to bring oil derived from tar sands in western Canada across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine en route to a waterfront terminal in South Portland. They say tar sands oil is more volatile than the crude currently transported over the larger pipeline, could accelerate corrosion and causes greater damage when it spills. The pipeline company said there’s currently no plan to reverse flow to allow Canadian oil to flow southward. But environmental groups remain concerned, especially after Canadian regulators approved a plan last week to reverse the flow of another pipeline that would allow for oil from western Canada to be transported to Montreal. The additional crude arriving in Montreal will likely negate the need for oil piped north from Portland, so Portland Pipe Line officials might feel economic pressure to
reverse the flow of their pipeline to allow the Canadian crude to flow to Portland to be offloaded onto tankers, said Jim Murphy, senior counsel for National Wildlife Federation. “It’s something that Mainers need to be concerned about,” Murphy said. The Portland Pipe Line previously explored the idea of building a pumping station in Quebec to facilitate the reversal of the pipeline, allowing Canadian crude to flow to Maine. It abandoned the idea a year ago, citing economic conditions, but left the door open to revisit the issue. Last year, South Portland voters narrowly rejected a waterfront development referendum aimed at stopping the shipment of Canadian oil into the state. The Portland Pipe Line said it has safely shipped more than four billion barrels of oil north to refineries in Canada since the pipeline company was created in 1941. The pipeline actually consists of three pipes but the oldest of them, built in 1941, was taken out of service decades ago.

MassDOT Votes to Hike Registry, Inspection, Road Test Fees BOSTON (AP) The state Transportation Department’s board of directors has voted to hike registry, inspection and road test fees, making it a bit more expensive to own a car in Massachusetts. Non-commercial vehicle registration fees would increase from $50 to $60 and annual state car inspection fees would jump from $29 to $35. Road test fees would increase from $20 to $35. The fee hikes approved Wednesday are needed to close a $53 million gap in the
department’s budget. The DOT pointed to a series of factors for the higher fees. They said the last time the state inspection fee was raised was in 1999 while road test fees have not been increased in more than a decade. The agency also said it tried to bring the fees in line with those charged in other states.
