As if it wasn't bad enough with all the logging in the last few years that have removed the erosion barriers, now they want to put a landfill nearby as well?

Good work ; will write letter. If some of us need to pile in a car and go down there for a future public meeting let me know.

I have sent letters to both local and state reps, the gov of TN and the Scott County Mayor in addition to the powers that be in Nashville.

I received a response today from the Mayor. He loves BSF and is personally opposed to the idea but he does not control the permit process. The Nashville guys are the ones to contact. Do it by 4/5 to make a difference.
