SFF Community - Groundwater Contamination

Good Morning Neighbor:

I hope this email finds you well!  Our community story continues to unfold and we all must remain vigilant with regard to the recent findings of toxins that are in and around the Philips Services Corporation facility.

I am attaching The Citizen News articles that followed the Fayette County Commissioner's meeting.  It has been further disclosed that there is ground water contamination which was never reported to our community via the EPD or PSC.  I am also attaching the actual chemical report that was submitted from PSC to the EPD.  Please keep in mind that this testing was conducted by Philip Services Corp and was not conducted by an outside source.  It should also be noted that this report was not requested by the Environmental Protection Division until after the March Commissioner's meeting.

At this time, there has been no contact made from any government official on any level to further inform our community.  I have forwarded all of this information as well to Stack and Associates to see if these recent findings might open up new legal avenues on our behalf.

May the doors that need to open in this atrocity continue to open and may truth and justice always stand!

Your neighbor,

Connie

Good Evening Neighbor:

We are moving forward with closing any loopholes with regard to the Phillip Services Corporation's possible application for a waste water permit in Fulton County.  PSC agreed six years ago to hold off with any permitting until this year and we must make sure this never happens.  I will be speaking before the Fayette County Commissioners this Thursday at 7pm and we would love to hear your comments with regard to this issue after the presentation.

It will be our goal to remind the commissioners and the citizens as to what we all suffered through the summer of 2006.  Capt. Pete Nelms from the Fayette Emergency Management office will also be speaking as to the impact this atrocity had on Fayette County residents.  

It is also important to note that PSC remains active on the EPA Superfund list - http://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0409886 and it is my understanding that PSC remains as an "Environmental Stressor" with regard to Fulton County zoning. 

I hope you all are doing well and I look forward to seeing you at the meeting this Thursday.  We must let them know we still remember and most of all We Are Still Here!!!

Your neighbor,

Connie
