....Plymouth Rock Studios has filed plans for a $422 million film and digital studio complex on 240 acres. Studio backers estimate the project will bring 1,500 permanent jobs and generate business growth for Plymouth.

But while the company describes its plan "as the world's first green studio," a local environmental group, the Eel River Watershed Association, says Plymouth Rock Studios will improperly discharge 60 million gallons of sewage a year.

Once again,the moonbats will get in the way of a worthwhile business..........

[SENTINEL]

60 million gallons divided by 1500 employees = 40,000 gallons per year per employee, or 109 gallons of raw sewage per day per employee.

Once again, 109 gallons of raw sewage per day, per employee.

They should counter sue for 60 million dollars for filing a frivolous lawsuit based on false claims.

...And just what exactly is "improper disposal of raw sewage" anyways...dumping outhouse buckets into the storm drain ?

These types people are definitely messing with my life, liberty and property....

I don't think it all of the c%*p (err... sewage) belongs to the proposed studio... some of it is the town's cr*#p...:^)

From the article --

The studio's plan involves extending a pipe from the plant to connect not only the studio complex, but two secondary schools, a golf course and recreation facility, and some private homes, all of which now rely on septic systems. The changes would mean a net gain for the environment because septic systems release "more concentrated nitrogen" into ground water than treatment plants do, Wynne said.

Seems like an odd location for this venture.

...and some private homes, all of which now rely on septic systems.

And they will force those homeowners to pay for the new system even though they have a perfectly good working septic system. I sens an eminent domain issue coming.

South Shore, just up from the Cape...think real estate values...

“South Shore, just up from the Cape...think real estate values...”

That was my point. Having lived there, I know some of the negatives.

While the company (owners/investors) can choose their location, it seems that this is more for their choice of the AREA than the company.

The cost land/house/tax cost is high.
However, since I’ve left the state, I wish them well.
