The location of this…

The location of this facility, in such close proximity to residential homes, schools, daycare centers, and public spaces, raises serious concerns about public health, safety, and environmental risks. The fact that this facility would be processing asbestos—known to be a carcinogen—further heightens these concerns and places the surrounding community, including schools, families, and children, at significant risk.

1. Proximity to Sensitive Areas: The proposed site is alarmingly close to residential areas and public spaces, including primary and secondary schools, daycare centers, and parks. Given the toxic nature of asbestos, the facility’s proximity to vulnerable populations, creates an unacceptable level of risk to public health.

2. Lack of Transparency and Community Consultation: Many residents were not informed about the proposed facility until it was well into the approval process. This lack of transparency and insufficient community consultation has raised serious concerns

3. Health and Environmental Risks: The potential risks associated with asbestos exposure cannot be overstated. The environmental and public health impacts of this facility must be carefully evaluated, and all necessary safeguards must be put in place to prevent contamination of air, water, and soil.

4. Hazardous Materials Near Residential Properties: There have also been reports of hazardous materials being stored near residential properties, which poses further safety risks. This situation warrants immediate investigation to ensure proper handling, storage, and compliance with safety regulations.

Given the serious nature of these concerns, I urge you to immediately halt the approval process for the Inflector Environmental Services facility at 98 Milvan Drive
