Environmental approval was received by Harvard University for projects in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, all very close to the Charles River. It was issued on February 14, 2014, but only announced in the February 26, 2014, edition of the Environmental Monitor, the official state environmental notice publication.
This does not include, as I recall, the future Harvard Medical School site or the various machinations with regard to I90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike), the proposed off ramp to Cambridge and the many environmental outrages on the Cambridge side of the Charles River resulting therefrom.
URL of the approval is http://www.env.state.ma.us/mepa/mepacerts/2014/sc/eir/14069deir.pdf.
It runs 37 pages.
I have not read it and may not for awhile. I am in the middle of a very large follow up report with many photos on concerning Harvard’s / the Cambridge Machine’s off ramp to Memorial Drive.
