How to Obtain a Copy of the ENF
The SSTTDC's ENF is spiral bound and paper-covered, containing about 56 pages, with several appendices that add approximately another 40 pages. It's not light reading, but if you are serious about the base redevelopment issue, it's good to have all the information that it contains, even though it's information that has mostly been prepared by the SSTTDC and their consultants.
If you want your own copy of the ENF, contact the SSTTDC right away and ask for one. They have to provide a copy to everyone who wants one during the public comment period. The SSTTDC contact info again is:
South Shore Tri-Town Development Corporation Box 211 South Weymouth, MA 02190
phone - 781-682-2187 fax - 781-682-2189 e-mail - [email protected]
You can also go over to their office at the base, which is in the building next to the plane monument a short distance inside the gate. Call before you go to make sure they have a copy there. The woman who answers the phone, Mary, is very nice.
The ENF states that copies have been sent to the Planning Boards, Boards of Health, and Boards of Selectmen of the three towns and Hingham, so theoretically you could look at a copy of the ENF at those places. We would think that your town library might have a copy; if they do not, suggest to them that they should acquire one.
If you contact the SSTTDC and they do not have a copy of the ENF for you, you should place a phone call to Dick Foster at MEPA and say that you are having trouble getting a copy of the ENF from the SSTTDC. Mr. Foster's number is (617)626-1026.
If you ordered a copy awhile ago and still have not received it, call Mr. Foster at the above number and tell him you still have not received your copy of the ENF. It is important for us to hold the SSTTDC accountable for their obligation to provide the ENF to the public. Then you should call the SSTTDC and tell them you still haven't received your ENF.
COMPARE has an MSWord version of the ENF. This file does not include the graphics, cover letter and attachments, but if you'd like to have it, please e-mail us at [email protected] and we'll e-mail it to you. We can't guarantee that you'll be able download it and open it with your system but we can send it to you so you can give it a try.
In our next letter we will talk about how to comment on the ENF.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
