The Issue

The people who live in our rural residential neighborhood object and seek assistance to block the construction of a large human waste treatment plant at our doorsteps.  

If this plant is built in its current proposed location, it will be both upwind (prevailing winds) and upwater (ground water flows south west here) from many homes.  All of us depend on wells for our water.

Also, trucks will be bringing the waste in on our rural roads.

It has been said that the waste is treated to a harmless substance, but there are countless articles and studies that show this to simply not be true. Furthermore, human waste is loaded with chemicals, metals, and pharmeceuticals which are not taken into account in the claims of safety.

Shwinn Bioset is the company which proposes to build this site; a company based in Wisconsin!

Please help us preserve our safety, comfort, and peace of mind.  Help us preserve our homes.
