regarding:
” NO DUMP PERIOD ”

Absolutely, everybody should just keep all their trash, save on garbage pickup too.

Conecuh Woods is promising jobs…. yeah out of staters will get the contracts. We already have a dump just over the county line that is enough for Alabama.
Let them put one where no one lives. The commissioners of Conecuh County need to take a field trip to the A/W dump just over the county line when it rains and see and smell the crap!!!! I can’t believe it has gotten this far, what is wrong with the commissioners? Do they not have kids? Grandchildren? Even
a conscious? Hello? Have they taken a brib? What about the person who sold that land? I don’t think he carried his money with him….

Just one more thing if you check it out the big boys who are trying to sneak this thru live in Florida far away from the hazarods. But not far enough away to not get their money.

This issue has been going on for a few years. I was at a meeting a few years back on this issue with the same people. They are determined to get this in. People we can not afford to let this happen to or enviroment. Like someone pointed out earlier appx 600 trucks or or better per day on the roads. Simple things who pays for the road widening and up keep and or anything else related to the transportaion of on public lands. I can tell you who, us the taxpayer once again and the investors are getting rich while our poverty level rises. It ruins our pristene enviromet that we have all lived in and I personally think every child should have the right to live in an enviroment that they do not have to worry about the food chain or the drinking water and air. They already have a pretty good size dump not far from where this will be located. It is only a matter of time before disater will hit. Then there is all the methane gas to be dealt with. It is true it can be used but they have not come up with the systems to complete that yet. The only place I know of that is using it is in Federal Way Washington and it is a limited production because of not have the proper equipment in place to make it work like they want. But it is true it is being used and the future may hold a big place for it but until then we have to live with the gases. Just saying. Okay I will get off my soap box now but I grew up in that neck of th woods and still have properties there.

No math wiz ask >There is a railroad in this area, is it still operational?

That’s the old “Alabama Railroad Company” Railroad that runs near Repton, Alabama and on to Flomaton, Alabama where it intersects with the main track to Montgomery, Mobile and Pensacola. According to my Monroe County dot map, that track ends in Beatrice, Alabama in northern Monroe County.
That means that Trains from up north would have to come to Flomaton to be switched to that Track.
There are other Tracks that split off the CSX Railroad through Greenville in Butler County that come near that area.
The old Railroad through Repton is still functional.

Grassroots community organizing @ its finest.

I hope all these folks can maintain their focus & momentum, because the “big boys” that are pushing this monstrosity are certain to bring all the power, influence, $$$$$, & lawyers they can muster, in their attempt to outlast & overpower the public’s interest, solidarity & outrage.
