Please reject this proposal.

I was one of the 1043 residents that participated in the Windsor CTV News Poll that asked
"Are you opposed to the Dresden landfill proposal?" with 80% opposing.

This site is 1 km from the edge of the Town of Dresden and 1.5 km from the high school and
2.5 km from the elementary school. TOO CLOSE!

I live on the edge of town and will be personally subject to sight, air and noise pollution.
The value of my property will decrease significantly.

The town and surrounding areas will be effected in many ways. The following are just a few:

1. Environmental
Water Contamination & Habitat Destruction.
This site is adjacent to both Molly's Creek and the Sydenham River. Leachate contamination
could result in detrimental effects on water quality and disrupt the delicate balance of aquatic
ecosystems. The Sydenham is home to 80 species of fish and 34 species of freshwater mussels.
Many of these are classified as "Species at Risk".
Air Pollution & Air Quality
The town will be subject to both due to the close proximity of the site and the resulting truck traffic.

2. Traffic & Road Conditions
Increased truck traffic (estimated 1 truck every 4 minuted arriving at the site) driving through town,
past 2 schools and over our 90+ year old bridge. This will cause traffic congestion, road & bridge
wear & tear and noise & air pollution.

3. Effect on Local Economy
Agricultural land for the surrounding area will be effected by the posible leachate.
Disruption to businesses due to truck traffic, noise and congestion.
Economic Uncertainty among both business and residential properties. We may lose businesses
and not attract new ones. Price values of properties will decrease.

The reasons could go on and on.
