To whom it many concern,
         We are a group of students who attend Hampshire College in  
Massachusetts. We are writing in concern of the proposed reversal of  
the flow of the Trailbreaker/ Enbridge 9 pipeline that stretches from  
Montreal, Canada to Portland, Maine, in order to bring tar sands oil  
from Alberta, Canada for export.
         We are a group of students concerned about the entire life  
cycle of tar sands extraction. We extend our support for a YES vote on  
the Waterfront Protection Ordinance, which effectively ban the  
construction of needed infrastructure to refine the bitumen  
transported from Canada.  We do not want our friends and relatives of  
South Portland to be at risk of suffering the aftermath of a tar sands  
spill from a pipeline into the Casco Bay.
We are also concerned about the Sabago Lake, which provides 20-30% of  
Maine?s drinking water, and which the pipeline crosses over. We are  
also concerned about the Connecticut River which our college is  
adjacent to and which the pipeline also crosses over. Diluted bitumen  
is more corrosive and abrasive than regular petroleum, and thus the  
pipelines that carry it are at greater risk of leakage. If tar sands  
were to leak into waterways the oil would sink to the bottom making  
clean up nearly impossible and thus placing at risks the humans,  
animals, and plants who reside near or in these waterways. We do not  
want to take this risk over any of our northeastern waterways.
We support a vote saying YES to the waterfront protection ordinance of  
November 5th. Please help keep the northeast Tar Sand Free.
Thank you.
