Author    Post   Steve Myers Site Admin Wooo Hoo! We are good at something other than REDRUM! We rank fourth in the state for the imported Canadian trash Canadian waste increased more than 38 percent in Genesee County during fiscal year 2006, according to the annual landfill report from the Department of Environmental Quality. http://www.mlive.com/news/fljournal/index.ssf?/base/news-41/117059340286400.xml&coll=5 _________________ Steve Myers Sun Feb 04, 2007 3:15 pm  00SL2 F L I N T O I D There is more information on Senator Stabenow's website about the Stabenow-Levin Agreement to Stop Canadian Trash, including PDF files of correspondence among herself and Senator Levin and Hon. Laurel Broten, Ontario Minister of the Environment. http://stabenow.senate.gov/stoptrash/agreement.htm Sun Feb 04, 2007 9:38 pm  CandyCane F L I N T O I D We are also one of the more contaminated counties in Michigan when it comes our groundwater. We have stuff like lead, mercury, chromium, arsenic being leached into our groundwater from these landfills. The Canadians could care less what happens once their trash comes over the border. When you turn your faucet on for a glass of water or take a shower, that H2O is most likely coming from an aquifer. I say ship the trash back, and I'm not even one of those environmental freaks.
