DECREASED PROPERTY VALUE - Average property value could drop 30% - 90%.
HIGHER TAX BILLS - Additional funds will be needed to maintain streets damaged by increased volume of truck traffic.
WATER POLLUTION - A 55 gallon drum of toxic chemicals can contaminate 12 billion gallons of water. An EPA official stated, "No one has yet designed a landfill that does not leak."
HIGHER WATER BILLS - Sophisticated purification systems will be needed to ensure the purity of water supplies.
AIR POLLUTION - The smell and wind blown debris can travel at least seven miles.
NOISE POLLUTION - A minimum of 300 large trucks and semis could travel our roads daily.
LOSS OF FARM LAND - How much farm land can we stand to lose to a dump? Crops and animals produced in a landfill area would be contaminated.
