Dont be fooled into think "imported" is anything better than local waste. That imported waste is very lucrative to those other licensed landfills. LOL,

They do call it a cell for a reason. Most modern day landfills are lined with either a impermeable plastic liner or lined with a clay dirt that is impermeable not allowing anything to escape into the ground. Basic fact is we create waste and must deal with the best way we know how. This company is wanting to come into your community and spend millions of dollars and create jobs for one of the most unemployed states in the union. SHAME ON THEM!!

I hate the blatant hypocrisy of the other good old boy gooberments voicing their opposition to this landfill based on enviromental concerns. In reality, none of them are concerned with the enviromental effects at all. Because everyone of them have an interest in keeping the competition away. Allowing this landfill to be built means less dollars going into their pockets. Directly or indirectly. They all have landfills in their jurisdictions to protect from more competition. Bell,

They should be made to build houses on top of the landfill, that they claim is not going to hurt the environment, along with the people helping them to get it done. Never put your faith or trust in man , only in God. Heaven help all of us and I hope they know they should not be able to sleep with a clear conscience! We all need to keep up the fight for our children and their future and the future of the environment as a whole. Get on the phone, write letters, and anything that will let them know it isn.t over and we will be heard and they need to open their ears and eyes and spend a week working at the DUMP in Escambia County, Alabama.
