Please help us bring these matters to attention by signing our Petition below. We will then deliver this message to those that need to hear it in order for this Environmental Injustice to be acknowledged and corrected.
We, the taxpayers and concerned citizens, call upon:
The Dickson County Commissioners to immediately close all solid waste operations (recycling center, garbage transfer station and Class VI Construction and Demolition landfill) at the facility on Eno Road.
The State of Tennessee to institute a moratorium on the siting and permitting of waste facilities and other polluting facilities in the Dickson, TN Eno Road community.
The EPA and the State of Tennessee to clean up the contamination caused by the Dickson County Landfill under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action Program, a law passed by Congress compelling responsible parties to address the investigation and clean-up of hazardous releases themselves.
The U.S. Congress to hold hearings on the EPA?s response of the Dickson County Landfill and the treatment of black and white families whose private wells and springs were contaminated by the leaky landfill.
The EPA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conduct an independent study of the Dickson County Landfill Superfund site evaluation and hold hearings on the treatment of the Holt family and the African American community on Eno Road in Dickson, Tennessee, per EPA?s requirements under the 1994 Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898.
The DOJ, Office of Civil Rights, to conduct an investigation of the City of Dickson, County of Dickson, and State of Tennessee response of the contamination in the Holt?s water wells and the protection of their civil rights.
