Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The release of the EIS, coupled with a tight 29-day feedback window, has generated community opposition in New England. The sheer scope and complexity of the document, along with reported technical difficulties in accessing the files, could discourage participation from local landholders.
