Today, Pascoag Utility District has distributed it’s draft Advisory Opinion to the public regarding the Invenergy project proposal to treat and use well water from the previously contaminated wells known as Wells 3/3A. This draft highlights many of the concerns both determined by PUD and expressed to PUD over the past several months about the risks in reactivating this well field, both in terms of contamination threat and in terms of overall sustainability of the aquifer. A presentation regarding the draft Advisory Opinion will be provided at our Board meeting on August 29th. Please feel free to provide written comments prior to the meeting, or verbal comments in person at the meeting. PUD will take all comments into consideration as we prepare the final Advisory Opinion that must be submitted to the Energy Facilities Siting Board by September 12.
