Here's a story of the heavy hand of the county threatening to take land from a resident near HWY 80. They want to "purchase" a couple acres for a water transfer station. This family doesn't want to sell their land, and not ALL their land at that! The county just wants to own a piece out of it, you can work around them. A lawyer has been involved but ultimately, if there can't be an agreement this land will be taken for eminent domain. When did we start taking land on behalf of corporations? Want to know what a water transfer station is?
A water transfer station is a facility that collects and disposes of liquids generated from solid waste or floor cleaning at a transfer station. The dangers of living near these are Noise, Odors, Property value loss, Heavy truck traffic, and exposure to a chemical known as leachate. This chemical can be toxic to aquatic life and may pose a threat to human health including cancer. This is the new America we live in. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
