Mr. Gordon expressed concern about the proposed retirement community on Wheeler Rd. He noted the arsenic lagoons, electromagnet field, noise and substation. He urged the Board to research these potential public health issues.
Dan Ehntholt noted that the Board looked into radiation as it pertains to cell towers and it was found that the legislature has put the authority under the Department of Public Utilities as well as the Department of Public Health.
Mr. Gordon said he has read materials regarding electromagnetic radiation provided by the Hudson Light and Power Co. He is concerned that this could present a problem as there are conflicting studies that show an increased incidence of brain cancer.
