TAUNTON Adding to public health concerns about a proposed gasification plant at the former Taunton landfill, the state s largest nurses union has sent a letter of concern to the city about the plant s potential impact on public health.
The plant proposed by Aries Clean Technologies would take the region s sewage sludge and turn it into biochar to be sold to the construction industry.
It would be located on a part of the former landfill site on East Brittania Street and could net millions for the city.
Taunton City Councilor Barry Sanders read the letter from the Massachusetts Nurses Association during a City Council meeting Tuesday night.
