The first "Temporary Biosolids Storage Facility" in Bedford County is operating for a second year 1/3 of a mile from our home. Synagro was granted a variance (See ltr to Mr. Steve McMahon, Synagro from Robert B. Stroube, April 19, 2005) that allowed Synagro to varying from many of the code regulatins for these facilities. We were subjected to a huge volume of truck traffic on our right of way, the only access to our property, for over 4 and a half months, industrial volume of noise for this period, beginning at daybreak and continuing until dark, and months of inhaling the odor (ammonia!) that made us have constant headaches and feelings of nausea. The burden of this commercial/industrial operation was such that we consulted a real estate agent about selling and were told that our farm is worthless and that no one would want to live next to this operation because the odor, noise, and traffic. We are trapped here. The right to the "peaceful and quiet enjoyment of our home" has been denied us and we are being forced to "live in a privy" and next to an industrial-scale operation. Shame on the VDH! Many other families in our neighbor are negatively impacted, including a neighbor with a lung problem. The pit was unlined, uncovered, on a slope, and about 500 feet from a stream. Virginia nuisance law's questions are "Is it offensive to the senses?" Is it a threat to public health and does it violate the law of decency?" The answer to these questions is "YES." I have written Robert Hicks for information about what we can do to protect ourselves from inhaling ammonia over many months, but have received no response.
