| We have been asked to approve ten monitoring well locations for the Columbus Center project, including four wells to be located on Turnpike property adjacent to the MBTA railbed. We have returned our comments, which have included some relatively minor adjustments in location. The Columbus Center development team would also like the chance to present to the trustees on their plans for a recharge system, as described in the recent Boston Globe article. I would hope to have them at one of our upcoming meetings. |
