Q:

I’m concerned about NStar’s plan to use chemical herbicides to maintain their right-of-ways. Did you find any herbicides in the drinking water?

Five herbicides were included in the drinking water testing. All of these herbicides are commonly used for lawn care. In addition, one of these herbicides, Triclopyr, is among the herbicides that NStar intends to use to control the growth of vegetation along power line right of ways (ROWs). We did not detect herbicides in any of the drinking water samples, but we did not target wells near the NStar ROWs and were not able to test for all the herbicides used in the NStar program.  more
