Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) - ARAP PERMIT REVIEW
At some point in September, it is believed that the planners of the proposed landfill will be filing for their Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit (ARAP). The process for approving the plan to alter the course of springs and creeks in the middle of the proposed landfill site has to be announced and has to include an opportunity for the public to comment. As more information about this is made known, residents are encouraged to stay tuned and be prepared to attend such public hearings.

The FIRST ACT of CUMBERLAND CLEAR is to oppose the proposed new landfill (Roberta Phase II) and a trash train transfer station across from Winfield Elementary School. Money raised will go to LEGAL EXPENSES and INDEPENDENT TESTING in this fight.
Ten rounds of general trivia and between-round contests with prizes. Get your friends together to come out and spend a fun evening helping a great cause!

‼️Scott Solid Waste Board Meeting
Location: Scott County Office Building, 2845 Baker Highway, Huntsville, TN 37756 / Time: 11:00am
We need YOUR voice! This is a second attempt meeting as the previous Solid Waste Board meeting had no quorum to vote.
If your schedule allows, please be there to show our Solid Waste Board how IMPORTANT it is to the citizens of Scott County that they sign the original waste plan addendum letter to TDEC proposed by Jerry Dodson, chairman, stating WE DO NOT HAVE NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL LANDFILL! Our current Volunteer Regional Landfill has 24 years left at a minimum and there is absolutely no need for a second one, even larger, to be built adjacent to our current one. Scott County’s waste needs are being taken care of now and for long into the future.
Tell the Solid Waste Board they must communicate NO NEED FOR ROBERTA II LANDFILL to TDEC!

Oneida Water Board Meeting

‼️Scott County Commission Meeting
Feel free to attend this open public meeting of the County Commission, County Mayor and County Attorney. The Commissioners should continue to hear your input about the proposed landfill that threatens the long-term economy of Scott County. Short term profits or promised funds from the dumping of tons of waste on Scott County - next to an elementary school and neighborhoods of families - is not worth the long-term consequences of forever chemicals potentially leaking into our ground water.
