It’s been nearly two years since MyRWA and partners packed Everett City Hall for the Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Chapter 91 License Application Public Hearing about the National Grid site located along the Malden River—and we finally have some good news.

You may have heard about the oil spill in the Mystic last spring–the good news is that the Department of Environmental Protection, Eversource and the Coast Guard are working in partnership to clean it up, and they are nearing a resolution on the water.

This week, at least one natural kill of menhaden – about 40-50,000 fish – has been documented along the Mystic River in Everett and Somerville. There are no perpetrators responsible for this mortality.

Nothing fishy: Thousands of pogies washed up in Everett, but it’s due to natural causes.
