<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> </p>
<div>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">We write to invite you to an
important community forum where we will discuss and inform residents of
Chelsea, East Boston, Everett, Revere and other affected communities
about an egregious proposal to bring 280+ million gallons of high
flammable ethanol through our community by rail. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><b>The meeting will map out
steps to stop the ethanol trains. It will take place on September 13,
2012 at 6pm at the Williams Community School, 180 Walnut Street Chelsea
(please enter on the Arlington St. side).</b></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">As you may remember, Global
Oil located in Revere, MA, proposes to bring freight trains carrying
ethanol to its facility along the Chelsea River. Ethanol is a volatile,
flammable, colorless liquid that burns at extremely high temperatures.
Global is proposing to bring 187,200,000 - 280,800,000 gallons of
ethanol through the communities of Fitchburg, Leominster, Ayer,
Littleton, Acton, Concord, Lincoln, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge,
Somerville, Everett, Boston and Chelsea to their final destination in
Revere. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">A 2011 study commissioned by
the state Department of Environmental Protection found ethanol is now
the largest volume of hazardous material being transported by rail. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">Alcohol-resistant foam is necessary to extinguish ethanol fires along with specially trained fire-fighters. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><b>Just a few weeks ago, the
public witnessed the derailment of a commuter rail train in Belmont,
MA; and an accident where a car was crushed by a train in Medford, MA. </b> An accident involving these proposed ethanol trains could decimate entire neighborhoods throughout the Commonwealth.</p>
