Meeting set on East End Landfill
05/25/2011 4:09 PM by John M
There will be a meeting concerning the East End Landfill (in Henrico, not the city’s transfer station by Oakwood) on June 7 from 6-10PM at Calvary United Methodist Church (1637 Williamsburg Rd).
“The East End Landfill– TEEL– is using a very toxic substance, coal ash, to cover their mountains of debris to keep rubbage from blowing away, stinking, etc… The black coal ash itself blows away. There is video of it being blown toward our neighborhoods, less than a mile away. We, citizens, have been to court twice now to ban its use. Twice our side won. Now twice they have appealed. It is still there. The Department of Environmental Quality will have a rep. there and Delores McQuinn has committed to being there. Please come if you can.”
Need as many people to write in to Justin.Williams@deq.virginia.gov as possible TODAY (IT HAS TO BE TODAY FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS TO BE PUT IN)
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: Public Comments on the TEEL East Henrico Landfill
To whom it concerns,
In regard to the TEEL Landfill in East Henrico, from the 1000+ members of the Sierra Club Falls of the James group:
We support this enforcement action
We expect that TEEL will take the remaining 83,000 cubic yards of coal ash off of the site
We expect that they will not be permitted to use coal ash as structural fill in CIII
We also expect they will not be allowed to use coal ash in their excavation of the Old Richmond Landfill no their land.
Sincerely,
Scott Burger
Co-Chair, Sierra Club Falls of the James group
(include address and phone number)
Scott, I can figure out from your letter that TEEL is The East End Landfill, but what is CIII? As in “We expect that they will not be permitted to use coal ash as structural fill in CIII”
Appreciate any clarification, thanks.
