NO landfill expansion

  • by: Lee M

The EPA designated the upper 2/3 of Cortland County, NY, as a critical, sole-source aquifer.  If our water is contaminated, we have NO OTHER water source.  Our legislature is considering expanding the landfill to receive 1 MILLION tons of New York City garbage each year.  Their filth will be trucked in on nearly 200 tractor trailer loads each day - creating noise and additional pollution.  The DEC wants us to accept BUD waste:  oil-laced soil and hydrofracking waste.  Other BUD waste includes PCB-laced soil - will we get that next?  If any of this gets into the water system in McGraw-Solon, it will flow west to Cortland-Homer.  Our drinking water, health, welfare, quality of life, and property values are at stake.  We will be known as the garbage capital of New York.  The stench at Seneca Meadows, a similar landfill, is said to pollute the air with sickening odors 2-3 miles away.  Sign this petition and VOTE NO TO ANY LANDFILL EXPANSION, and call for the immediate removal of any legislator who votes yes.
