The lead contractor for the 6-10 Connector reconstruction project in Providence is pleading not guilty to state charges.
A representative for Canton, Massachusetts-based Barletta Heavy Division entered the plea on the company's behalf in Providence Superior Court Wednesday to charges including illegal disposal of solid waste.
The Rhode Island Attorney General's Office alleges contaminated stone from a construction site in Mass and dirt from the Pawtucket-Central Falls train station was used to fill in the 6-10 site.
Dennis Ferreira, the former project superintendent, is due for arraignment on Tuesday, February 7th.
