Alabama in danger of being a dump
 
 I am concerned that “Alabama the Beautiful” is fast becoming “Alabama the Dump.”

 Our state is permitted to receive 52,000 tons of garbage per day, when we in Alabama only generate 12,600 tons per day.

 The law currently states that if a landfill application is made to a local governing body and it takes no action within 90 days, the application is automatically approved.

 There are bills in the Legislature (SB 96 and HB 36) that would change this law to read that if a new landfill application is made and the local governing body takes no action within 180 days, then the application would be automatically denied.

 Senate Bill 96 is being sponsored by Sens. Wendell Mitchell and Marc Keahey. House Bill 36 is being sponsored by Reps. Thomas Jackson, Harry Shiver, Alan Baker and Steve McMillan.

 It is important that all legislators hear from their own communities. I urge people to call their senators and representatives, and then to call family members and friends across the state and ask them to do the same.
 People can find their legislators’ phone numbers and addresses at the Alabama State Legislature on the Internet (www.legislature.state.al.us/). I advise people not to send e-mails, because they are not effective.
 If people need help locating their political leaders, they can call me at 888-266-9217.

PRESS RELEASE: JOHN HANCOCK INSURANCE EXTENDS LAND PURCHASE OPTION FOR LANDFILL

 

Landfills are like Graffiti on the countryside. Do not let them ruin Conecuh County for future generations.

Hazardous Waste has been dumped in the Timberlands Landfill, less than 10 miles from proposed Conecuh Woods Landfill site. Can any area be safe once it has been cursed with a landfill?

“The reason we fight:  As adults we are not only responsible for ourselves and our families, but also for the generations to come.  We must ensure they will have a safe and healthy future with clean air, water and land.”             Citizens for a Clean Southwest Alabama
