families, our water and our future. We're worried that without action now, irreversible damage will be done to our town. In the short term, it will seem positive - a relaxation of taxes in the town of Franklin, but in the long term, it will be a blight on Franklin and surrounding towns. It will be an area, once a beautiful woodland and riverside that will be unusable for MANY, MANY generations. It is our opinion that this proposed site is wrong, if for no other reason than it will be located on top of a Class A (drinkable as is) moderate to high-yield aquifer. The Global Community has recognized the need for clean water. In many parts of the world, large corporations are buying up water resources. It is arrogant and short-sighted to put a toxic landfill over such a increasingly valuable resource. We're working together to not only stop this ash dump from going into Franklin, but to educate ourselves and others on the alternatives to creating ash dumps anywhere in the world. |
