Ethanol in your neighborhood

This isn't fantasy or a 'what if' scenario because ethanol train disasters have already happened.

Middleboro has a freight line.

Will Ethanol trains run through the community? Are there limits?

Freight line runs through many communities or near by. If plans are mandatory evacuation within one mile, how many communities are effected?

Maybe we should ask questions and understand the impacts.



I want to invite you all to a community meeting on ethanol next Wednesday February 6th at 6:00 PM in the East Boston High School. We’ll have a brief presentation about Global Oil’s proposal to bring 1.8 million gallons of ethanol by train twice a week into their facility on the Chelsea Creek. We’ll then be joined by representatives from the Department of Transportation who will share the progress of their study on the public safety of transporting ethanol by rail through dense urban communities. This is our opportunity to let DOT hear about concerns from the community about public and environmental safety! Please help spread the word! Spread this flyer electronically far and wide; or let me know if you’d like hard copies.


Quiero invitarles a todos a una reunión comunitaria el miércoles 6 de febrero a las 6:00 PM en la High School de East Boston. Presentaremos información breve sobre la propuesta de Global Oil para traer 1.8 millones de galones de etanol por tren dos veces a la semana a sus instalaciones frente al Río de Chelsea. Luego representantes del Departamento de Transportación compartirán algunos resultados de la investigación de seguridad pública para transportar etanol por tren a través de comunidades densamente pobladas. Es nuestra oportunidad para que el DOT escuche a las preocupaciones de comunidad acerca de la seguridad pública y ambiental. ¡Ayudenos a regar la voz, comparta esta información! Envíe estos volantes por correo electrónico; o déjenos saber si quiere copias.

 
Adelante!
