Friends of the Blue Hills been pressing Governor Patrick to suspend MWRA plans to fill the Blue Hills Reservoir on Chickatawbut Road in Quincy at a cost to ratepayers of $40 million unless MWRA agrees to replace the 8.7 acres of protected wetlands that will be lost. Such replacement has been required of every state agency including MWRA for a generation. Here’s a look at our latest mailing.
In the meantime MWRA is charging ahead with construction despite the express opposition of the city of Quincy. Here are some photos taken at the site Sunday (click on one image to get to the next). Beware, they’re not pretty.
Please share widely!
