On January 30, 2005 The Boston Herald reported, "the group, named OM Temple Inc., received approval from Billerica's Board of Health on Jan. 3 to proceed with the project. The board's approval is one of several that temple proponents must obtain in what is expected to be a lengthy permitting process. Already, some neighbors have complained about flooding problems and possible harm to wildlife. As far as the Board of Health is concerned, the proposal has met requirements, said Richard Berube, the board's director."
