Dear Ms Karle
Please forward to Conserva on Commission
Members of Conserva on Commission
It seems the Town has been given one more chance to stop TJA Solar.
A er TJA was granted all necessary permi ng (and changed zoning on 810 Wakeby Road),
Barnstable purchased 830 Wakeby road to protect the Hayden well field, an important source
of drinking water. There is only a 10 foot set back from the 810 Wakeby property line.
Hundreds of gallons of oil are contained in the transformers which require changing yearly,
crea ng the poten al for spills and contamina on of the well fields.
In light of the dangerous chemicals involved in solar panels (TJA has not supplied a Hazardous
Materials list and has submi ed contradictory data concerning the total number of
transformers they propose), it would seem prudent to deny TJA’s request.
Please don't put our water supply at risk!
Thank you for your considera on,
Nancy Minnigerode
95 Biscayne Dr
Marstons Mills
The Hayden wellfielde is beneath 810 Wakeby Road.
