May 28 meeting set to discuss Smith Mountain landfill proposal

A meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, May 28, at the Crossville Housing Authority meeting room for all who want to learn more about the Wright Brothers' proposal to build and operate a landfill on Smith Mountain. Cumberland Stewards, a network of citizens and public interest groups opposed to the Kingston coal ash landfill application, is sponsoring the public information meeting.

The community program will review what is known about the proposed landfill and the reasons why this is not a welcome industry in Cumberland County. Residents of Smith Mountain, those most directly affected by the proposed project, will share their stories of how it would effect their lives.

County Mayor Brock Hill has set a public hearing 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, at the Palace Theatre. A public hearing is required under the Jackson Law which Cumberland County had adopted. The law gives a community the right to reject a landfill application if it is clear that the landfill is not in the community's best interest.

"Cumberland County has a history of turning away threats of dangerous waste. During the 1980s, the county commission voted against siting a nuclear waste landfill in Crab Orchard. The county commission again beat back the building of a biomedical waste incinerator that would have trucked in bio-hazards from around the nation. Now we must once again come together as a community and keep Cumberland County safe from others wanting to bring their waste here," said Louise Gorenflo of Cumberland Stewards.

Bring your questions and concerns to the Keep Out the Waste meeting, 5 p.m. Thursday, May 28, at the Crossville Housing Authority meeting room (67 Irwin Ave., behind the Crossville City Hall). For more information, contact 484-9033.
