This group has been created for those who have an interest in current and potential air, water and land pollution problems that exist in Perry County, Ohio. One of the current concerns icludes a landfill that is allegedly to be in operation sometime in 2006. The landfill is likely to be located off of Tunnel Hill Road approximately 3 miles east of New Lexington, Ohio.

This causes concerns for pollution with the potential of containing harmful toxins that can be released into the environment through air, land and or water. Several states do not allow this trash to be placed into the earth at their locations OR THEY HAVE HIGHER FEES than Ohio does for placing debris in a landfill so they find someone who will put it in the ground in Perry County.

These are valid concerns for those of us who value our quality of life, our hard-earned property, health, the pursuit of happiness and this portion of the earth that is located in Perry County.

Why should we give up all of these things or take a chance of losing them just because a problem exists in another state and they need a place to get rid of their trash? We only have so much land here in Perry County and they aren't making any more of it.

There is already one landfill in the northern part of Perry County. Do we really need another one that has the potential of taking 15-20 years to fill just one hole?

We will strive for making these issues clear to those who make choices in our community for us, to those who attempt to force these concerns upon us and to those who like many of us, once had no idea what was happening around us.
