March 30, Congressman Bill Delahunt writes to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson about NSTARs plan to spray herbicides along 150 miles of electrical/transmission right of way and his concern for the safety of the water supply.
“Much of the area abuts private and public water supplies. While the plan appears to meet energy reliability requirements, there is no evidence to suggest the plan was examined from a water supply protection perspective. The plan did not receive close scrutiny from the regional EPA office, state and regional water supply officials.”

Officials from every affected town on the Cape have written to NSTAR MDAR Scott Soares and the Cape Cod Commission asking for a 12 month moratorium on spraying.
Please add your voice to our concerned legislators and town officials and let NSTAR know we take our water supply seriously.
