Report May Change Greenwich's Ability To Grant Itself Permissions And Waivers At The High School (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
Significant Environmental Hazard Report Notification

Following please find a FOIA request regarding a "Significant Environmental Hazard Report Notification" filed by Turner Construction Company and/or The Town of Greenwich with regard to The Greenwich High School Property located at 10 Hillside Road.

If, in fact, this report has been filed, it changes, forever, The Town's ability to grant itself permissions and waivers for use of this site. Application for all such permissions and waivers must now be legally submitted to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and The United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACE), with certified mail notice to all abutting neighbors.

Further use or alteration of any part of the 10 Hillside Road site without all required Federal and State permits is a crime carrying with it substantial fines and the possibility of criminal charges.

If this report has not been filed it is a violation of Federal; State; and Municipal; Acts, Statutes, Rules and Regulations, also carrying with it substantial fines and the possibility of criminal charges.

I am an abutting property owner. I have received no legally required notice of any of the activities reported in newspapers either before or after the reported filing of the Significant Environmental Hazard Report Notification.

Pursuant to Federal and State laws, The High School Property cannot be used, and remediation cannot be started until all required permits have been properly obtained, and all abutting, upstream and downstream neighbors have been properly notified.
