RECEIVE <br /> • <br /> 5-12-86 GB <br /> lie <br /> . Route 8, Box 114-A <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br /> 1 May 1986 <br /> Mr. Marvin Collins, Director <br /> Orange County Planning Dept. <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Collins: <br /> As a graduate of UNC-School of Public Health with courses <br /> taken in Environmental Sciences, I am very concerned about <br /> the proposed landfill near the Chapel Hill High School. - <br /> There is no current technology to clean-up ground water <br /> once it has_ been contaminated and landfills are a major <br /> threat to our underground water supplies. <br /> While a task force looks into the possibilty of incineration <br /> as an alternative to landfill, I request that the "use as a <br /> landfill" title placed on this land be deleted and the property <br /> be shown simply as public land zoned R-l. 1 <br /> The future of our water sources is at stake as well as future. <br /> development of neighboring land for residental use. <br /> Thanks for your consideration of this issue. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Janice P. Scroggs, R.D., M.P.H. <br /> • <br />
