  11:30 AM - December 13 - Home of H.G. Hermes, president of CRAM - Citizens of Ramford Against Mercury.  

 

 

 

  
H.G. has called a meeting of the CRAM board; CRAM was established in 1995 by residents of the southern section of Ramford County whose private and municipal wells are contaminated with mercury. The geology of the region (Chohancy sands) allows for high concentrations of mercury to accumulate in the aquifer which is tapped for drinking water.

CRAM has been a strong advocacy group; successfully lobbying the State for remediation and relief for affected citizens. The board asks H.G. to spearhead an effort to make sure that mercury contamination in drinking water is thoroughly discussed at the upcoming hearing.
