At the April 20 Zoning Hearing Board hearing, Food & Water Watch's Philadelphia Senior Organizer Sam Bernhardt was in attendance. He distributed a statement prepared by F&WW's Maine Senior Organizer Nisha Swinton, attached below. Nisha outlines the trials and tribulations that the citizens of Fryeburg and many other communities in Maine have had to endure, in order to defend themselves from imminent harm and further threats to their groundwater resources caused by widespread extraction to supply the bottled water trade.
The purpose of this blog is to document solid waste and water extraction projects that do not meet zoning requirements or are just very poorly conceived, in an effort to protect the rights and health, safety and welfare of neighboring landowners and residents. The initial project was Nestlé Waters in Kunkletown, Eldred Township. Later, the Synagro biosolids in Plainfield Township - the "Slate Belt Heat Recovery Center" was our focus. We all live downstream.
