On December 1 Tim Gray of the Housatonic River Initiative (HRI) organized a meeting of concerned citizens to discuss a GE proposal to locate PCB dumps in the southern Berkshires. The six proposed sites include the property of the Lane Construction Company’s gravel pit in Lenoxdale and Forest Street in Lee, which Tim Gray points out is very close to Upper Goose Pond and Lower Goose Pond which are pristine and which feed the new catch-and-release area of the Housatonic River. An area near Rising Pond in Housatonic was also on GE’s list.
\nThe meeting was well attended and many viewpoints were expressed. BEAT videotaped the event. We at BEAT have been expressing our feelings and opinions about this process and about how we feel the cleanup should proceed on our blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
