The NBC 10 I-Team has learned Somerset officials are now investigating photos that were sent to a resident that appear to show metal and debris being buried on the site of the old Brayton Point coal-fired power station. “The pictures were pretty disturbing. He sent over 30 photos,” said Nancy Thomas, who received the pictures from a concerned worker inside the Brayton Point Commerce Center. “I am definitely horrified.
SWANSEA The controversy over the former Brayton Point power station site hasn’t been confined to Somerset.
Letters sent out this month on behalf of the town of Swansea to Attorney General Maura Healey and the AG’s environmental protection division allege that noise and dust from ongoing demolition at the site have created a “public nuisance.”
One of the letters was penned by board of selectmen chair Christopher Carreiro and the other by town counsel Anthony Savastano.
Both letters identify the Gardner’s Neck Road, southern section of town as being most directly affected by the dust and noise pollution coming from what is now known as Brayton Point Commerce Center.
