The Maine Board of Environmental Protection will soon decide whether to allow Nordic Aquafarms, a Norwegian company, to build a massive, $500 million land-based industrial fish farm in Belfast. Many of us here in Belfast believe BEP decided on Nordic long before it wasted untold Maine tax dollars on its Nordic charade. We believe the fix was in from the get-go. How else to explain the bizarre BEP finding that Nordic has sufficient right, title and interest to even file for a permit? Nordic and its minions from away no more own a path to the sea for Nordic’s effluent discharge pipe than they own the Statue of Liberty. ~ Lawrence Reichard, Belfast
