OPERATION GHOST IN THE DARKNESS

Whats that Smell?? That seems to be a common conversation started here in Sylacauga.....The answer is a unbelievable one...The Smell is coming from the Old Avondale Mill Treatment Plant or also Known as Reed....On Numerous ocasions Veolia Environmental Services has sent Tankers, Sometimes up to 15, each carrying 5,000 of Brine Wastewater from the Anniston Army Depot are coming and dumping this Supposide Non-Hazardous Chemical....Then The Sylacauga Utility board is putting this is the City's Waste Treatment Plant...Sound Unbelievable...Well Believe it and whats worse is Our Dear Mayor Made the decision to let them do this...Not even the Members of the City Council was told until it was already decided...When One of the City Council Members Did FIND out and contacted the mayor about the situation...He was basically told that he was making a big deal out of nothing...A local newspaper has bad mouthed this council member as well...This has been going on for some time now...Now this is where my concern comes...Since January the smell has been horrible for several days at a time...It normally starts at night ( I was told this is when the dumping starts) The smell lingers for sometime...Each time it even smells different...My Family and other individuals have experienced severe headaches, upper respitory infections, nausea, burning of the eyes and throat, strange illnesses, bad taste, foul odors in our cars and homes, I have actually had three family pets pass away not long after the smell was strongest...Coincidence...You Tell me...Since 9/11 The United States Issued a War on Terror and issued severe penalties To ANYONE knowingly or unknowingly committing a terrorist Act...Companies have been required to enforce strong tracking systems to show where their products came from and everything down to how it was shipped...Consumers have a "Right To Know" Act that products us if we was to suffer from a companies neglect...And Yet our Dear Mayor took it upon himself to allow this to take place...Now He lives far enough away he dont have to suffer from this...If it is not a health concern, then I say We should have him get a little tent and camp out beside the Treatment Plant when They are dumping this, and to make it even better, Have him try to eat supper as well...Of course he isnt gonna do this, because, as he said, The wastewater is "Non-Hazardous"....Of course he has papers saying its suppose to be safe, but in those same papers there are circumstances where it CAN be hazardous.....Let me take a little trip to past, During The Vietnam War, The United states Goverment released a chemical that was suppose to kill off the vegetation to give us a little boost...It was suppose to be harmless to us...The chemical was Agent Orange and we NOW know it was harmful...Or how about asbestos...How many people do you know suffering from the effects of it? There was a huge recall on toys from China because of lead in the paint...Peanut butter has even killed people...SO why should we believe chemicals coming from the Army Depot, Treated or Not, Have NO dangers associated with them? There is something going on and its time we stand up and say "We Arent Gonna take it ANY More". We pay taxes, We are made to keep our grass cut, our yards clean, We have to get permits to do certain work in the yards WE Are paying for....SO WHAT RIGHT DO THEY HAVE TO PUT THIS ODOR INTO OUR AIR??? I am trying to get at least 100 signatures, whether you live close enough to smell it or not....Sylacauga is OUR Town, Its our Childrens Town, SO let Anniston Deal with their own "Non-Hazardous" Chemicals....So just stop and look around, Think about the last time you got sick, Could it have been from the chemicals? Also anyone that has been having any of the symptoms, animals sick or dying, lingering odors in your car or homes, contact me, Give me your Information..I Promise you the ball is rolling, Its up to YOU to make a stand and make sure we put a end to this nonsense.....
