Residents Concerned With Compressor Station Site Cleanup Company

WEYMOUTH, MA — A perceived conflict of interest in the energy company hoping to build a compressor station in Weymouth and the company tasked with designing a plan to remove contaminants from the site has residents asking questions.

The concerns came up during a Nov 13 information session held by TRC Environmental, the company that is supposed to come up with the plan to remove contaminants, according to the Patriot Ledger.

Weymouth District 1 Councilor Rebecca Haugh said the company helped Spectra Energy Enbridge obtain a favorable environmental assessment for the proposed station from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, making her uncomfortable with the proposal.

The listening session saw several residents address their concerns and complaints. That will all be included in a draft summary to be submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection by the end of January.
