I don't know about others but you really have my head spinning as you're kind of all over the place with these questions that don't really make sense to me. I think you need to come to Maine yourself and get a better sense of the lay of the land. At least just spend some time with a map and maybe go google map driving around. Perhaps it's because ND and the other places you've lived are just so different from New England's geography and the way towns/cities/suburbs/roads settled in the 1600s and 1700s are laid out that we don't have a common frame of reference to communicate better. We seem to be talking at cross purposes. Also you seem to be very attached to radiuses and that's just not a very useful way to think about distances or rural vs urban areas here as there's perhaps more of a variety or combination of kinds of places (woods, ocean, small towns, farmland, mountains, lakes, Portland, Boston, Quebec, movie theaters) all jumbled up in closer proximity to each other than they may be in ND.

Reply to Maine will need weeks to determine impacts of Ohio train derailment on air quality by STDMachine

I wonder if the mysterious foul order reported in central Maine had anything to do with this.

The control burn happened on Feb 6 and the reported foul order was on Feb 10, so the timeline would make sense...

Here's the article about the mysterious smell: https://fox23maine.com/news/local/bizarre-augusta-area-residents-baffled-foul-smell-reported-10-communities-maine-kennebec-river-oakland-waterville-richmond

If you want to panic and freak out, by all means panic and freak out.

However, be an adult about it and stop demanding that the people who don't want to panic and freak out, well, panic and freak out.

Yes the government says it's safe when it's not. Are you going to put on your scuba gear for the next month? No? Then relax. It's ok to not get upset about literally everything that stress is going to kill you.
