As residents of the Town of Durham, we remain vehemently opposed to the Seacoast Reliability Project and request that the Town Council continue to fight the SEC approval of the SRP. The SRP conflicts with our Master Plan, damages our historic lands and artifacts, threatens the Great Bay Estuary and will diminish the overall appeal of our Town.

Updates

April 15, 2019

The Town Council is weighing their next move regarding the Seacoast Reliability Project and they need to know we are watching. Email your representative today to reiterate that our historic lands are not for sale. We are tracking every response and will hold them accountable to our town master plan.

The momentum behind this fight is proof that our town will not back down against Eversource. Post this link on your Facebook page today and email your Town Council members to keep the pressure on.

Durham residents understood the importance of the environment when they defeated the Onassis oil refinery in 1974. I sincerely hope the Town of Durham once again shows the know how to recognize the importance of fighting the SEC approval.

Please, stay the course, and appeal. It might be compelling to receive the money Eversource is offering, but this project does not serve Durham's best interest. It will be destructive to both the aesthetics and eco system of our environment. Durham residents pay high taxes to live here in part because they expect a certain quality of life

There are alternative routes for this project with less impact on the environment (Great Bay estuary) and local communities (Newington and Durham). This can still become a win-win if Eversource shows some flexibility.

The Great Bay estuarine system is already environmentally compromised. The SRC proposed jet-plow method of burying the intended cable under Little Bay with further degrade this valuable resource. Please do not stop the fight against the Seacoast Reliability Project.

We live by Hamil Brook with various frog and wildlife species. We are against the larger power lines in our neighborhood.

It’s disheartening that a scenic National Estuary and local scenic road are slated to to be degraded... let alone the numerous homes that will obscenely impacted. The incremental industrialization of our once beautiful community is affecting economic and emotional value of our town.

I oppose the Eversource project. Please appeal the decision.

Eversource informed me of the day the SEC would come to view the site of SRP. My house is 40 feet from the corridor; I was outside when the two to three passenger vans pulled up beyond my house. No one got out. They parked no more than five minutes. How could they have gotten a complete view of the neighborhood, the adjacent homes, or any visualization of the placement and impact of the project in the brief minutes they were paused on the street?
