A long thread.....Baker: My hands were tied on compressor station - CommonWealth Magazine commonwealthmagazine.org/energy/baker-m…
1/How can the @MassGovernor @MassLtGov administration show empathetic support for the South Shore despite “tied hands”?
2/Hold a joint press conference at King Cove Park with @MassGovernor @MayorBobHedlund @mayortomkoch @braintreemayor calling attention to the air quality monitoring station and the commitment to better air quality
3/Convene a meeting with first responders like @WEYMOUTHFIRE @792QFD @HinghamFire @BraintreeMAFD, as well as @southshorehosp and the MA Homeland Security Division to understand all #NoWeymouthCompressor risks and develop emergency response plans
4/Schedule a local visit by @rishi_reddi to local environmental justice communities of Germantown and Quincy Point to listen to resident concerns on #NoWeymouthCompressor and take action to address
5/Address recommendations from Health Impact Assessment mass.gov/info-details/h… such as...
5a/Implement an Enhanced Blowdown Alert System: alerts via email and text to municipal staff and interested residents. Alerts should provide at least 72 hour notice of the planned [#noWeymouthCompressor] blowdowns and occur immediately when an emergency blowdown takes place.
5b/Use of Enhanced Leak Detection: require infrared detection to supplement the required leak detection and repair program. The enhanced detection would address concerns about potential impacts from fugitive emissions related to the #NoWeymouthCompressor station.
6/Return prior campaign donations from lobbyists, employees, and vendors associated with #noWeymouthCompressor
7/Charge the @MBTA with planning and implementing alternate bus routes during methane blowdowns of #NoWeymouthCompressor
8/engage @Massport leadership to review and mitigate risks associated with a major shipping lane next to #NoWeymouthCompressor
End/ And maybe every time someone from the administration speaks on #ClimateChange, public health, outdoor recreation, flood mitigation, etc. there’s a nagging voice in that speaker’s head that says “it’s never too late to do the right thing” on #NoWeymouthCompressor
