Please forward to all Conserva on Commission members
It is our understanding that the site of the proposed solar farm at 810 Wakeby Road, Marstons Mills is above or near the Hayden Wellfield,
which supplies approximately 30,000 people with drinking water in the COMM water district. We are concerned about the poten al
contamina on of Hayden Wellfield at decommissioning, or by fire or storm damage, of the solar farm. Thousands of gallons of transformer
oils and toxic chemicals would be present.
We request that the Conserva on Commission consider the above when evalua ng or making decisions regarding TJA Energy’s project. We
support alterna ve energy. Projects should be sited in areas that minimize risks to our residents and drinking water.
Thank you,
Anastasia and Hector Guenther
Barnstable Residents
