Subject: Wetlands protection and TJA solar
Dear Anna, Please forward to the members of the ZBA. Thank you. Dear Members of the Zoning Board of
Appeals, Please keep the laws protecting humans as inviolate as those that protect wetlands. Tja’s project
will endanger families and public water supplies. The explosive machinery needed for this project do not
appear on the maps and plans TJA has submitted to the planning board for the special permit! One
hundred inverters and transformers that contain 50,000+ gallons of combustible coolant and require dry
chemicals to extinguish... above public water supplies! Machinery that exceeds the EPA safety standards
for noise emissions. Hearing damage after one hour exposure. Tja’s deception also leaves the town with
the great financial burden of decommissioning. Every family should be protected. Including at the 95’ sole
egress to 810 Wakeby, where combined 250’ setbacks are impossible. This is a project whose very
feasibility has relied on deceiving the town at every step over the past four years. That should not be
overlooked or rewarded by reducing setbacks to increase profitability for TJA solar. Thank you. Sincerely,
Rebecca Coverdale
