Newton 21 Day Notice: MBTA herbicide spraying

7/11/2011 Update:  I called Mark Lacombe of Northern Tree. He informed me that the City of Newton has received the official 21 day notice of the July herbicide application.  I've left a message for Anne Phelps, Newton's Sr. Environmental Planner and Dr. Dori Zaleznik, Health Commissioner requesting a copy of the notice so that the Green Decade/Newton can notify residents.

Re:  DCR plans for spraying Hammond Pond Reservation, Saw Mill Brook Reservation, Quinobequin Road, and Hammond Pond Pkwy
