The Attorney General approved Article 23 which was passed at Town Meeting by the voters of Berkley on June 7th. Article 23 is now a general by-law for the Town of Berkley prohibiting commercial excavation below the annual high water line. Cape Cod Aggregates fought hard to have the Attorney General deny Article 23. They are trying to create a quarry 250 feet deep in a residential neighborhood, mining below the aquifer that supplies the only drinking water available to residents through private wells.
Thank you to everyone who contacted the Attorney General's Office in support of Article 23. Democracy still works!
