It is on private land...but we have farming around here, and what gets dumped on one piece of land affects much more than that land. Beyond the land, citizens here drink the water (groundtable-seepage) and breathe the air.

This has been debated thoroughly here, and tempers do get high. We believe that we are fighting for our health, here. LA needs to learn to contain itself and not arrogantly dump its waste on its neighbors.

The problem now has moved into one of CITIZENS' RIGHTS. Our rights have, herein, been usurped by a government which "knows better."

This is wrong in so many ways.

So is the person who owns the land compensated? Are there containment measures in place?

Look, I'm trying to see your side in the fight, not disagreeing, but I wouldn't support another NIMBY bunch of whiners without reason. I've seen what the NIMBY types did in Vermont, and it's not pretty.
