We are farmers near Olivia

Submitted by dennis barta (not verified) on Mon, 2007-03-19 22:05.
We are farmers near Olivia in Renville County. The County is in the process of taking 80 acres of land from us by Eminent Domain to build a landfill for ash that will be produced by a garbage burner being planned for neighboring Redwood County. We have read that the ash is likely to contain toxins like lead, mercury, and dioxin. We feel this will be a threat to contaminate area groundwater and nearby Beaver Creek. Dust from the ash will also be a health hazard if it becomes airborne. What kind of state are we living in where it is legal for the government to take part of a person's property, put something as undesirable as an ash landfill on it, and by doing so lower the quality of life of the property owners and also put their health at risk? This is the rottenest deal I have ever seen.
