Why are we having this dumped in our area? It comes from big city hospitals with who knows what in it. Has it been tested for any living diseases?? Only a few tests have been done to my understanding. Our water systems are extremely important to us in this area. We rely on ground water for our wells. Can this company sincerely promise us that contamination from run off will NEVER happen? That whatever structure they build will not develop a hairline crack for uncontrollable contaminants to leak out into the ground and affect all our drinking water. With the increase in rains, a 2 ft wall for a 7 foot pile ... is this high enough to stop heavy rain water that gets contaminated from biosolids running over their concrete walls? What about our eco system, rare species of marine animals and fish? Health issues of the small time communities? Why dump in a habitized area that is going to affect so many people. With the scare of ecoli bacterias in water that have been on the news in Canada, (Ontario) and USA, all the money in the world won't give back what health issues taken from the many of people who will suffer for the rest of their lives because someone allowed the big corporations to come in with the all mighty dollar and trample over the small folk. If it's not dangerous then have them put this crap in their own back yard instead of our small community. Can they guarantee our farm harvests will not be contaminated? Our fruits, vegetables grains, we eat, animals eat and we eat the animals.
The cost for all the new drains should not be put upon this small community either. It isn't us pumping God knows what into the biosolids. Have this dumped in an area not habitated by people. They are willing to bring biosolids in from all over, let them take it in a different direction away from people but again CAN THEY GUARANTEE A SPILL INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT WILL NEVER HAPPEN????
