r .~, ~011Cer11e~ Ciiuens Against A Construction Waste Burial S'r>te And Shooting Range On w.: Guess Road, summer Lame and New Sharon .. Churlch Road June 13, 1999 Attention: Landfill Search Committee Dear Sir or Madam: *peflCptt f2EFpr~senta Orange County, Chapet HiN, DutAeirY ar~d"= Q~~ ~-fZ, 3 ~ f1 -'? ao ~ ~~~ ~'-a i- ~ ~ The concerned citizens against a construction waste site and shooting range for Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Northern Orange County is a rapidly growing group of concerned residents who are dedicated to defeating the proposed 179 acres land purchase located on Guess Road, Summer Lane and New Sharon Road. We are landowners, farmers, business people, elected officials and other men and women of all ages, occupations and income levels. Our common bond? We know the proposed landfill site is a bad idea favored only by a handful of local politicians, and others who don't live near the track of land that has been targeted for waste burial. We are not against the finding of a landsite for the burial of construction waste. We are signing this petition to record our protests against the current location for the following reasons: 1. Landowners were not consulted before an option and deal to purchase the land was already signed. The landowners did not have any imput into decision whatsoever. 2. Possible devaluation of surrounding property. 3. With growth rates being some of,~he largest in the Country in the counties of Orange and Durham County we feet that this area'uVill 6e needed soon for residential purposes. Other options for waste sites should be considered. 4. Environmental concerns on many levels to include, noise, wetlands and watercourses. 5. The possible sacred Indian Burial Site on a portion of the property. 6. tif>tiivi~u~ti ~riti mss` r~asti3~s ti~at acid tQ tl-e 4~~ at IV~aftlr Caro4ic~a 4iie.
