Spreading of Sludge in Surry County
 

We the residents of Surry County were subjected to what the residents of our large cities and towns would define as biological terrorism.  A group of citizens from other counties formed an LLC and colluded with the VDH(this word is an oxymoron)to spread processed human waste and industrial chemicals on approximately 3900 acres in Surry County.  The citizens in this group and their registered agent are so proud of their handiwork that they won't even answer their phones.  We will keep looking until we can find the legal precident or  Virginia Code to prosecute these people and others like them that think it is okay to defile and pollute our soil and waterways with impunity for the sake of the almighty dollar.  Furthermore any politician who recieves money from the waste management industry and furthers their cause in polluting our invironment will be added to our list of politicians that needs to be replaced in the General Assembly.  We will expose you and the ways that you vote on biosolids legislation that damage the environment and poison Virginia residents.

Furthermore We intend to lobby the Federal Government  for changes long overdue on the EPA definition of biosolids and the hazards they contain.  Inspections of this nightmare in Claremont Virginia were virtually non-existent and the only reason the DEQ is monitoring Sunken Meadow Pond now is to cover their ass because a group of citizens has had enough and decided to sue the perpetrators of the rape of our environment.  We would strongly encourage the indian tribes across from Claremont Virginia on the James River to sue Synagro and Sussex Surry LLC ,also because of  what the pollution coming from this site will do to your fishing grounds longterm.

We intend to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.  Virtually the only people doing samples of this human waste are the producers of the same which smacks of the fox guarding the hen coop.  We wish the people sueing Synagro and Sussex Surry LLC the best of luck and success in their endeavor and hope they extend their suit to cover the VDH and the Government of Surry County for their inactivity.
