Don't Waste Hawleyville

This petition was published by HEAT on Sep 10, 2009

It is the fundamental human right of every child and adult to breathe clean air, drink clean, fresh water and live in a community where every individual’s health and safety are equally protected.

It is the responsibility of government and those elected federal, state and local officials to serve all persons in this generation and the generations to come through the creation and enactment of laws that secure a healthy environment. We believe in the protection of all wildlife and ecosystems acknowledging their same needs of clean water and clean air for survival and the maintenance of biological lifecycles.

We, the undersigned, call on Attorney General Blumenthal and Governor J. Rell and the Department of Environmental Protection to prevent the pollution of our Pond Brook Aquifer, by the Housatonic Railroad Corporation and Newtown Transload, LLC.

We demand the remediation of our wetlands and the removal of fill that has been dumped on top of our primary class “AA” water source; one that is state mandated to require the highest level of protection.

We further call on the Attorney General, Governor J. Rell and the Department of Environmental Protection to secure protection of the Pond Brook aquifer and to oppose the permit application of the Housatonic Railroad Corporation to the Department of Environmental Protection.
