Take Action: Call Governor Baker and ask him for CZM’s climate resiliency review of the compressor

In July 2017, Governor Baker sent a letter to the Mayor of Weymouth WITH AN IMPORTANT PROMISE.

Governor Baker promised that his administration, under the Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), would review the proposed Weymouth compressor station to ensure it would be resilient to storms, flooding, and future sea level rise.

Enbridge—the company that wants to build the compressor—responded with a “review”, but the Baker administration hasn’t. Enbridge’s review of its own project, without public comment, is UNACCEPTABLE.

BY THIS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, the Baker Administration will either deny or allow this FINAL PERMIT.

Can you help turn up the SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNOR BAKER?

He needs to know that we expect him to HONOR HIS PROMISE.
His Office of Coastal Zone Management needs to DENY THE PERMIT.

Anyone can tell that the location cannot be protected from the ocean.

PLEASE CALL TODAY AND EVERY DAY:

Governor Baker: (617) 725-4005 or (888) 870-7770
Office of Coastal Zone Management
- Lisa Berry Engler: (617) 626-1230 Director
- Sean Duffey: (617) 626-1232 Fellow from NOAA

TELL THEM TO EITHER:

Produce the study that Governor Baker promised with time for public comment.
Or delay the Nov 12 decision until they complete the study & allow public comment.

Thank you for making these quick calls.

We need to speak up now and hold Governor Baker to his promise!

*Thank you to our friends Andrea Honore, Debbie New, Nathan Phillips, for providing the information for this important action item.*
