Concerned about landfill
I am concerned about a new landfill being proposed by Max Environmental Technologies at a waste disposal facility in Bulger.
Max still needs to get a waste permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). In order to do this, Max has to first close the landfill they are currently working on, then submit an application to the DEP hoping to be permitted to accept radioactive waste. I fear that the permit approval by the Smith Township supervisors would signal to the DEP that the landfill would be a benefit to our community. This residual landfill has been an eyesore for years. At times it smells. The truck traffic is a nuisance.
Smith Township supervisors should keep any radioactive waste out of Bulger.
