National Grid sent an abutter and mailing list notification to the Tidewater mailing list about the beginning of LDI work.

As part of facility upgrades, National Grid intends to complete certain reconstruction activities associated with the electrical substation on the site. While the soil data collected in the area of planned excavation suggest the potential for air quality impacts associated with this work is relatively low, National Grid will monitor air quality during these activities to confirm there are no air quality impacts.
