REFERENCE: ROCHELLE WASTE DISPOSAL, L.L.C, VS~

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCHELLE, IL. CASE #

PCB 03-218

THE PROPOSED LANDILL IS REALLY NOTHING MORE

THAN A BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND FILLED AND HEAPED

UP WITH DEMOLITION DEBRIS, MUNICIPAL SOLID

WASTE AND SPECIAL WASTE. OF COURSE NO

HAZARDOUS WASTE (NOT THAT THEY KNOW OF) WILL

BE ALLOWED. BY THE WAY, “SPECIAL WASTE” IS

ACTUALLY “HAZARDOUS WASTE”. IT GETS A

DIFFERENT LABEL BECAUSE OF POORLY WRITTEN

LAWS AND REGULATIONS (A LOOP HOLE). IT SOUNDS

NICER, IT’S LESS THREATENING. IT’S THE SAME WAY

THAT ADOLPH HITLER, JEFFREY DAHMER AND TED

BUNDY WERE NOT HOMICIDAL MANIACS. THEY WERE

MISGUIDED.

ADD A LITTLE RAINWATER TO THE LANDFILL AND

THE INTERIOR BECOMES A HUGE CHEMISTRY SET GONE

WILD, PRODUCING ALL SORTS OF NASTY STUFF THAT

COMBINES WITH SPECIAL WASTE PRODUCTS. CAN THE

RESULTING LIQUID MIXTURE FIND IT’S WAY INTO OUR

WATER SUPPLY.

IT IS EVIDENCE SUCH AS THIS, THAT GIVES US AS

CITIZENS A STRONG REASON TO RECOMMEND TO OUR

COUNCIL MEMBERS TO VOTE NO ON THIS OR ANY

EXPANSION OF A LANDFILL.
