Pioneer Valley Planning Commission dept of housing and community development develement, and the D.E.P.of springfield ma. put us in danger, four of us to become seriously ill, over twenty thousand dollars in property damages springfield Massachusetts
I received a small grant of $15.000 for a new septic system. The D.E.P. and P.V.P.C. allowed numerous wet land and title five violations to happen on our property. such as allowing three drive by inspection by the Brimfield B.O.H. and one inspection by a person that was not even a qualified title five inspector. The results of this this system had to be rebuilt three times and is still broken.P.V.P.C. absolutely knows that this system is still broken because they did two test on the system and they both failed.A contractor was allowed to illegally pump the contents of our septic tank into our pond. our well was only two feet away from our spring fed pond and our well got contaminated with e coli and other dangerous chemicals.This is what got all of us sick. with bladder and recto bleeding and throat tumors and very sick with diarrea and general sickness. The D.E.P. borrowed all of our pictures that were taken of the contractor when he illegally pumped sewage into our pond. The D.E.P. said they were good pictures and wanted to borrow them to make copies for their own records.
That is the last time we ever seen our pictures. These pictures are our evidence. isn't it illegal to hide evidence? especially when a death might be involved. We asked for them back a dozen times and have been completely ignored by the D.E.P. P.V.P.C. allowed four contractors to work on our property without the required insurance that is needed to bid on this work. When a contractor was doing a lot of damage here we asked P.V.P.C. for the insurance information for this contractor and three other contractor. P.V.P.C. refused to give us this required insurance. We were suppose to be given this information before any of these contractors did any work at all here. We were not allowed to see this information until all work was done here. well it did no good to be shown that P.V.P.C. hired all of these contractors without the required insurance. Now we can not recover from damages caused y these contractors.
When we did try to recover from damages caused by a contractor that was allowed by the D.E.P. and P.V.P.C. to contaminate our ponds by not installing the required hay bails and silt fence. P.V.P.C. told this contractor's insurance provider that a otter ate all of our fish. Plus this contractor did serious damage to our foundation which is going to cost ten thousand dollars to fix.P.V.P.C. told Peerless insurance that other contractors work on our foundation. There were absolutely no other contractors that worked on this area of our foundation! Because of these lieds told by P.V.P.C. Peerless will not honor our claim. The results of these lies is we lost our live bait business. We had a permit with the state for three years to catch raise and sell bait fish. Everything died in our ponds three years of hard work wasted. The D.E.P. also allowed this contractor to do this wet land violation. When P.V.P.C. refused to give us the required insurance information we tried going over their heads and reported this to the D.H.C.D. who over see P.V.P.C. the D.H.C.D. also would not give us this required insurance information. We tried reporting everything to the attorney general but we were told that because we are reporting on state employees she would not do anything. About two hundred thousand dollars of state and federal money has been wasted on this system and our lives are in danger and her office tells us that the attorney general will not do anything because we are reporting on state employees.
This is quite rediculous! The attorney general also has our best documents and has refused to return them to us. Todd Smola borrowed all of our documents to show the attorney general now the attorney general will not return them to us. This is our evidence. The D.E.P. told us that if we thought our water was bad again to contact them and they would take a water sample to test. Well we got sick again after drinking this water and asked for the D.E.P. to test our water. They have refused. We had no other choice but to try and treat this water ourselves. we poured three gallons of blech into our well,we do not know if this killed all the bad bacteria inour well or not. By the D.E.P. allowing all of these wet land and title five violation to happen they are putting our lives in danger.
It is the D.E.P. job to inforce these wet land and title five violations not allow them to happen especially when by doing so they are putting our lives in danger. It is the D.E.P. job to protect the public and wet lands. not to protect P.V.P.C. When we all got sick and Michael's recto bleeding turned into cancer and he suffered for two years before dying with two bags connected to him. That is when this cover up began. Like the attorney general, the D.E.P. is also trying to cover up things here. To protect these state employees. There is much more we can tell you but we think we have told you plenty already. Even though the attorney general has our best documents that she will not return to us we still have some documents left that will prove everything we are reporting to you. Thank you for your time
