More coverage on the Days Cove Landfill permit approval and public input process came from Timothy Wheeler today in his article, cheekily called Rubble Trouble, detailing the continued battle between the landfill and the public seeking to protect the local ecosystem.
Wheeler quotes from the joint statement from the Republican Delegates, “Approving this application will admit more pollutants to an already struggling ecosystem and undermine efforts to improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay, a concern that we cannot afford to overlook,” said Ryan Nawrocki, Kathy Szeliga and Lauren Arikan.
The article also references Theaux LeGardeur in the Gunpowder RIVERKEEPER®’s recent blog-post: “Based on the facility’s compliance history, MDE should only issue a stronger, revised permit with an enforceable consent decree to address past, current and future violations.”
