Also the residence should be able to have the goverment pay their medical bills. Some one need be appointed to stop at every home affected and document their symptoms and have them medically evaluated along with the long term effects and medical trauma these residents will have to endure. I know anyone with asthmathic conditions cannot thrive under those conditions. I cannot. When this land fill was decided on, I can remember there was a lot of protest was residences around that area,but goverment went ahead with it anyway. That is a highly populated area and even a child could have known it was a bad idea from the start.

I just can't fathom how can a sagacious thinking person(s) place a dumpsite in the middle of a populated community. People have to literally drom like flies before something is done.
