Sen. Timilty budget amendments with respect to Medfield State Hospital
MSH – Medfield State Hospital Reuse

===========================================================

Dear President Murray,

I am writing to express my support for Sen. Timilty budget amendments that provide monies for the proper clean up of the site of the former Medfield State Hospital.  I am a 12 year member of the town’s Board of Selectmen, and Sen. Timilty’s amendments will effect the Town of Medfield’s official position that favors a complete clean up that results in no use restrictions and/or limitations on the site after the clean up.

We are told that the Massachusetts Contingency Plan may legally allow a lesser clean up, by the cap and cover method DCAM has proposed, but we do not think that is the proper result for the state to follow to clean up 100 years of dumping of toxic materials by its own DMH into the Charles River.  Our most productive town well is 3000″ from this dump site, and should we ever need to drill a new well to get more water, a well even nearer the dump site could not be allowed, if the dump remains.

Thank you for your courtesies and assistance with this matter.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Pete
