The Maine Department of Environmental Protection contracted with Farley and Sons Inc. in November of 2018 to remove and haul plastic carpeting to the Dragon Cement plant in Thomaston where it would be burned for fuel. State officials were hopeful this would be the solution to the decades-long effort to remove as much of the material as possible from the former rifle range off of Route 90 in Warren. However, only 16 tons were removed and no material has been hauled from the site since August 2019. Removal was halted due to material handling and processing problems at Dragon Cement. It is not clear when removal of the material will resume.
