Proposed Bottled Water Site Opposed as Polluter
Channels 5 WPTZ and Channel 31 WNNE report that Nottingham, NH residents have successfully rebuffed the construction of a bottled water plant near sensitive wetlands.
The state granted USA Springs a permit in July to draw up to 307,000 gallons of groundwater per day from three wells, but local permission for construction still is needed.
The proposed plant has drawn criticism from neighboring communities. Some opponents have appealed the state's approval of a large groundwater withdrawal permit to state Supreme Court.
Some residents worry the plant would drain drinking water wells or spread contamination through increased groundwater flow.
Not surprising to me, another spring water company, not only want so disturb a wetlands area, but also will not be getting any of its product from a spring, but three wells instead.
