Chickley River Issue - Supplemental Documents

Town of Hawley, Massachusetts — Supplemental Documents,
Issues Involving the Chickley River

The following links will allow the reader to download a series of documents issued by the Massachusetts State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and/or the Town of Hawley and/or ET&L Corp. regarding the allegedly non-compliant restoration work done on the ChickleyRiver in West Hawley subsequent to the massive damage and flooding inflicted by Hurricane Irene.

All of these documents pre-date the Agreements shown on the connected web page by almost a year or more, except the last one — the press release issued by the DEP on 11/14/2012 — which date generally coincides with those of the Agreements. These documents should be considered to be supplemental to those Agreements and in no way as constituting modifications to them. They are presented here to provide a context for understanding those Agreements, only.

All of these documents are .pdf files except the last one, which is a live web link. So you will need to have Adobe Reader or some similar program running on your computer in order to display and read most of them. Note that these documents are for the most part smaller than the ones presented on the connecting page, but that some of them could still be difficult to download using dialup or a slow Internet service.
