I live in Cumberland, VA with a proposed landfill looming.  Our citizen's health, our environmental health and financial welfare should not be compromised and exploited for financial gain from the landfill owners.  It defies logic that tons of trash and toxic material can be heaped on a thin liner and there will not be environmental consequences and expensive remediation.  Citizens and taxpayers should not be financially responsible for the obvious detrimental results of landfills.  Quality of life and environmental ramifications are already too high price for the landfill owner"s avarice.  Make them accountable for the closing costs and all other landfill related costs upfront.  Shoosmith landfill is Chesterfield County is projected to cost $173 million dollars for proper closure and incalculable citizen health and environmental costs.  Make the landfill owners pay now and in the future upfront.  They will all declare bankruptcy if given the opportunity.  Our taxpayers should not have to financially  clean up their predictable trash.
