land fills are a reality but how bout putting it somewhere where there is less chance of destroying a water system so many enjoy and benefit from. i am thinking that the people of this area are thinking long term and good for them! why not a state of the art recycling center?

landfills are a neccesary fact of living.if this landfill is properly built ,it should be no problem. but all these anti landfill people. most of them would jump at the chance to bring it to their neighborhood.

REGARDING:
“do you know what the new gold of the very near future will be? water. clean, potable water”

Nah, reverse osmosis can produce pure water from sewage, sea water, papermill effluent, you name it.

It’ll cost more than existing water, but won’t be anywhere near $1300 per ounce.

David not wanting to go that route,
but knowing it’s open

do you know what the new gold of the very near future will be? water. clean, potable water and think of how precious your artesian wells and spring fed water ways are and protect them with every ounce of strength you possess. consider the burgeoning world population just for starters. yes, clean water will only become more and more valuable as a resource. alabama and the florida residents protect your water, waterways, watersheds and springs.

This terrible project is going to affect us here in NW Fl. Our commissioners need to step up and add their protest to this landfill. I understand that they have already discussed it BUT we all know that talking about it and actually doing something can be two different things. Signing petitions may help but this is a big problem now as Mar. 10 is not too far away.

Concerned Citizen,
Not if you ALL go in and demand that your councilman resigns.
You voted him in and YOU CAN TAKE HIM OUT.
Art is right , make it pay or don’t do it.

What you don’t seem to understand IS, this IS NOT even YOUR garbage.
THIS will be a dump that they will be paid to let another city bring THEIR
garbage too.

This has always been done in the south. The expensive towns with
no land left pay your cities down here to ship THEIR garbage to.
What do you think N.Y. City does with THEIR garbage? Do you think
they have a landfill? They don’t even have enough apartment buildings. lol
They ship it to the south.

Fight it or make it pay. Someone has to start the ball rolling.
As it is now. YOU won’t see any of the money.

LEARN WHAT MAKING IT GREEN IS ALL ABOUT.

I have land in Conecuh County and I abosolutely oppose it. It will sooner or later mess up our enviroment there. Think about if it leaks and gets into the streams and our water sources what kind of havack that will create. There are many other things that has to be taken into consideration like the methane gas what will they do with it how will they get rid of it will they burn it off and polute the air even more. It goes on and on like who is going to take care of the roads where the trucks are hauling all this waste. I can tell who will paying for the roads it will once againg be the taxpayer while the out of state investors who do not have their families living in the middle of this are getting richer.
On the other hand if they really want to create jobs and do something postive then maybe they need to look at putting in a recycling plant in. That is good for the enviorment and good for the economy and puts peoples to work therefore putting more dollars in the community and not hurting our enviroment at the same time.

I live in Escambia county Alabama and I am opposed to this landfill.. The sad part is that they will build it even if everyone opposes it..

think of all the people cleaning up along the highway…imagine if all that trash meant money in mama’s pocketbook. that is if we had a truly viable user friendly woking recycling center. not just a “dump”…
