CITIZENS AGAINST LORAAS LANDFILL IN RM OF CALEDONIA
A Loraas landfill in our farming community will be devastating – the proposed massive-scaled garbage landfill will be affecting the Milestone and Avonlea communities.
What we know about this landfill:
- It is a private (for-profit) garbage landfill
- Will be serving Moose Jaw & Regina and area
- Located on mating grounds of the sharp-tailed grouse – endangering bird
- Located beside protected native grasslands
- A shallow water aquifer is located below the site and is at risk for contamination
- All water runoffs in the area are at risk for contamination, including farm drinking water
- Cattle welfare at risk due to close grazing locations
- All surrounding wildlife habitats at risk
- Heavy trucking will greatly increase in area; added pollution, noise, road damage
- Depreciate land value, mounting road repair costs
This massive garbage landfill site will be a stain on our community and land. Please sign the petition and keep our farming communities and grasslands peaceful, beautiful, and garbage-free.
