 The cochato river is in Holbrook and runs to Randolph and Braintree I 
believe  it was closed for pollution in the 80's as a source of drinking 
water. It was run by the tri town water board which is made up of  Holbrook 
Braintree and Randolph town D.P.W. and other officials.
Braintree needs water  to continue  it's massive building without water they  
might get a state moratorium on building. So Braintree  at least their 
officials don't care how or what water they want. I am on the  Baird and  
McGuire task force. Maybe some of you saw me at the toxic 99 meeting talking  
with DeVillers lol
   So a couple of weeks ago the Tri Town Water Board  voted to start the 
process to reopen  the Ricardi Reservoir to the Cochato. This will put 
Cachato water in private homes.  The ground water at the Baird and McGuire  
Superfund Site  still contains 102 chemicals [including dioxin] and four 
minerals in the lNAPPL floating [if that's the word] on the top of the ground 
water. The river runs by the site. The EPA cleaned  maybe 2500 ft to be 
generous. Leaving all the river below  rt. 139 at the 
 railroad sta. the site has two hot spots one large on with in say 60 ft of 
 the river and the smaller hot spot is directly under the river. the EPA has  
in times passed claimed that the river didn't interact with the ground water, 
 giving us a magic river. oh how nice
  
  So Holbrook sits again almost exposed to this stuff again. the Baird and 
McGuire toxic waste site makes Woburn look small. Understand this  they burnt 
abut 240,000 tons of soil and put wells 100 ft down to suck the water passed 
the contaminants. Hopefully, the water treatment plant would eliminate the 
toxic and they would replace the water and repeat the process. Well, the 
original plan failed the plume got bigger. answer more wells. This fakes the  
results cause the maps they make will not be comparable due to different  
conditions.about Holbrook and Randolph area
 1 ] from 1952 -1983 the water wells where on the site of the Baird and 
 McGuire Superfund Site and contained gods know what and the people drank it. 
 in Holbrook  Non-Hodgkin's is 4-1 women when norms are 8-1 men cause the  
wives where home drinking the water
 2 there was an ice cream and dairy place that served the town and the cows  
that gave the milk drank water straight from the stream that ran thru the  
site this was in the 40-50 at least
 3 the plant didn't have good  air scrubbers and fumes where emitted and many 
town people worked there
 4 we just finished a  4 yrs incinerator  in which they burnt the 240 tons 
and  god knows what that will do
 5 and the best part the entire site is backloaded and filled with the ash 
 from said  incinerator  much of which contains  the minerals  secured by  
Portland Cement mix
 
  Maybe just maybe  you might be from Randolph, Holbrook and Braintree and 
could call your town official and tell them this isn't a good idea and if you 
 know people there please tell them that too
 
 Ps: also in 1998, 1991, and 1989 the EPA found levels of acetone in all the 
tributaries of the Cochato River which they now call a fluke. One tributary 
runs by the old town dump we all know what they are. Yet another is by other 
chemical companies yet unnamed to the superfund and to those that attended 
toxic waste 99.Lets see how John rushes to the aid of the Anti Cochato Forces 
and if he puts the full weight of the EPA against the use of the water.
