Letters

Data collected for the NS portion of Task 4 was disseminated to the individual homeowners who took part in the project. A letter with a table of results was accompanied by information about methane in groundwater and links to contractors in NS who specialize in well venting. All of the data was submitted to NSDNR for archiving.
