WCVB TV in Boston (CH 5) reported tonight (1/26) a story about 18 deaths from cancer clustered on this street in Gilford. Something to do with a coal plant (i think that is what they said) on this site long ago. In case this is an area that forum readers are familiar with (I don't know Gilford geography), I thought I'd pass this info along...

Thx Skip
My bad..... it looked good on the "preview page" somehow I messed up the link. Thanks for the help correcting it. It is scary.. From what I'm told, Gilford is not alone in concerns about exactly what types of materials were used 25-30 years ago as "fill". I remember working in a campground during my 20's, when they applied used motor oils to "oil" the dirt roads to hold down dust. ![]()

This issue still seems to draw little concern.
Where are all the conservation groups? This is a Lake issue. Why the silence? They had plenty to say about the speed limit. What's been flowing into the Lake all these years? Is coal tar a carcinogen? Energy is good. Improper waste disposal is not. Quote:

Wolfeboro has a similar problem with a toxic PCB, dioxin, and benzene dump within a few feet of Back Bay.

Sounds like a done deal and a slam dunk for Keyspan via NHDES...
