DON AND BEN AND BUCKLIN BROOK
I went to the outfall of Bucklin Brook in response to Don’s concern. There is a lot of activity happening there.
We know that a new tunnel is being put in, but we have been told that the last section of this historic brook in Pawtucket will not be touched.
Keep in mind that people are not used to anyone speaking for this waterway. It’s a long practice of abuse. Right now, no buffer zones have been breached but I’m still very concerned.
As board members and advisors for this waterway, I’m asking you to please keep an eye on it.
Take a ride by when you have free time and help make sure it’s being protected like any other waterway should.
Stay on public property, but please sound an alarm to us if anything seems out of place. I will also be watching.
This brook has been abused enough, let’s do what we need to do. Thank you all. If you have questions, please ask. Ben.
BUCKLIN POINT STORM WATER/SEWER TUNNEL PROJECT
Much staging activity yesterday at the south end of School Street in Pawtucket.
Several executives (suits) overseeing activities. Heavy presence of Verizon field crews along with the staging of coffer steel plates usually jack hammered into soil matrix in tandem to support soil when trenching or tunneling activity is in process. – or about to begin. Perhaps the opening of an excavation shaft?
This is “within stone throwing distance” of the Bucklin Brook surface confluence with the Seekonk River – Narragansett Bay – the last open stretch of Bucklin Brook after its headwater gathering at Collins Pond in South Attleboro.
Seems like we may be the only people in the world publicly acknowledging the actual existence of Bucklin Brook.
