Durham gravel pit owner fined $15K as part of agreement with town

SUN JOURNAL • June 25, 2026

The Durham Select Board on Tuesday approved an administrative consent agreement that fines a gravel pit owner $15,000, requires a $100,000 reclamation bond, and imposes travel restrictions on the business’s vehicles. The agreement comes after numerous complaints by neighbors led the town to issue a stop work order May 7 to Brunswick Trucking/Jaiden Landscaping for digging and extraction work that exceeded the 5-acre parcel permit for its gravel pit at 1104 Hallowell Road. The work also had “slight” encroachment on to natural resource buffers.
