New Documents On DEQ Website
Green Ridge and affiliates submitted eight (8) draft documents to DEQ earlier this month. They can be viewed at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/get-involved/topics-of-interest/green-ridge-landfill.
It is unknown why DEQ accepts these draft documents. It is known, we need to stay prepared. Some of the changes Green Ridge and affiliates propose are:
The entry to the landfill site be off of Pine Grove road
Reduction in the tonnage of waste per day
Waste disposal unit reduction to 104 acres.
No out of state trash –
There are others. We MUST NOT allow them to continue this project that so adversely affects our environment and way of life. Once Green Ridge and affiliates are in, they will expand and continue the destruction of our natural resources. Your continued support of opposing this proposed mega landfill is much needed and greatly appreciated. The battle is just beginning.
