1) Here are important points. On May 11th the Rye Select Board agreed to sign, possibly with other towns, a letter to NHDES asserting that they must act in accordance with HB494 to stop the pollution of Berry’s Brook.  Go to 53:00 of the Recorded Video<\/a>

2) Rye water samples collected in April 2022 had a total of 26 parts per trillion (ppt) of several PFAS. The state only regulates a few of them but that doesn’t mean the others are safe to drink. Rye deserves water without chemicals in it. See my blog post on this and how and why I installed a treatment system, at my own cost, to remove the chemicals from my Rye tap water here:https:\/\/mindimessmer-author.medium.com\/why-dont-i-trust-them-f86b31a3cf55<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


3) From Mindi Messemer book, Female Disruptors, describes the history of Coakley, the cancer cluster, and other information. The paperback and eBook are now available on Amazon https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/femaledisruptors<\/a>. Dorleena Wylie, the daughter of Lilian Wylie and former residents of Lafayette Terraces said about my book: 
“When I read Female Disruptors<\/em>, I had cold chills that stirred memories of my mother’s fight. I felt my mom would have loved to read it. She would have been proud to know that Mindi Messmer is continuing the fight.† ~ Dorleena Wylie, daughter of Lilian Wylie, resident who fought for environmental justice and lost her life to cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
