Boston College’s Office of Facilities Management has proposed a plan to construct a storage facility in the rear parking lot of BC’s 300 Hammond Pond Parkway property. The proposed facility would stand in close proximity to a large vernal pool called Bare Pond. Some BC students and faculty have expressed concerns that runoff from road salt stored at the facility will impact the vernal pool, which serves as a breeding ground for Webster Woods’ local salamanders and frogs.
