To the editor,
While our elected officials pat themselves on the back for the “success” of the summer’s UV Pilot program, it must be noted that the same consultant who recommended this program also analyzed the data.
More important, though, was the complete absence of any reference to the illegal noise levels the abutters had to endure day and night. Technically and legally, it’s part of the air quality and was consistently well over legal limits. Notably, neither Lynn nor Swampscott tested the noise, ostensibly because they knew from the generator manufacturer specifications it was illegal.
When the DEP informed the City and Town they would be performing decibel tests, the system was shut down early. More than coincidence?
Sincerely,
Steve Harrington
Lynn
