The enforcement agency leadership of Holbrook and its board of selectmen are not concerned about the environment or public health. How many times have you driven by Sylvan Lake, which is just off Center Street near the train station, and seen people fishing there? The lake is and will be contaminated for decades, yet the town lets people fish there? If you think the town of Holbrook will provide proper oversight for a trash transfer station, guess again. They let Baird-McGuire pollute for decades and the allowed Holbrook Chemical Company to pollute the area as well. Just a reminder, the former Holbrook Chemical site is the proposed trash transfer station location and it abuts the contaminated Baird-McGuire site.
If health and the environment were such concerns for Holbrook, why don't they have a conservation commission agent or a health agent? In the past, both positions have been held by health board members and a member of the conservation commission. Neither were qualified for the position.
