WFSB Covers Outrage over the Proposed Plainfield Plant

WFSB reported from Plainfield on the day of SMART’s May 2025 public meeting and recorded reactions from residents and a town official.

What the report documented

Then-selectman Peggy Bourey described the proposed location as a bad fit that required more scrutiny. Resident and beekeeper David Kettle raised concern about bees foraging near the proposed site and returning contaminants to hives.

What it does not establish

The report documents local reaction and the questions residents brought to the meeting. It is not a biological sampling result or an agency permit finding. The WFSB story predates the launch of Plainfield Trash Facts and does not reference this website.
