[Green] [possibly spam] Come Hell or High Water

[Dawn Hewitt]

Thanks, George. I do plan to attend the IPL webinar Wednesday, and I will also participate in the FUUSM discussion of the film Sunday at 12:30. I hope you will, too!

The barge off-load facility will likely result in much less damage to our community than the development projects will to the Turkey Creek community. Another difference is that people in our community are not aware of the risks posed by this proposed facility--largely due to the secrecy of key elements of the project on the part of Deep Rock Disposal.  For example, do people on Harmar Hill know that there is a huge injection well in their neighborhood?  Other people who do know about this facility .probably view this risk as an acceptable result of good jobs, economic development,  and cheap energy in the region.
