EnviroSolutions, Inc (ESI) Special Exception Amendment 2 (SEA 2)

A CLEVER POLITICALLY-CORRECT MASQUERADE

FOR THE FUTURE OF SOUTH COUNTY

Enviro Solutions, Inc. (ESI) wants you to believe that SEA

2 is an application for a Green Energy Project

and….oh, yes….it does comes with a dump.

A CLEVER POLITICALLY-CORRECT MASQUERADE


O P P O S E I T

Take the mask off: SEA 2 is an application to extend the size and life of a very large industrial dump. To

cloud the issue, ESI offers to add a small dash of green energy. The timing of which means we will

likely never see it in our lifetimes!

394 TRUCKS A DAY

This is the average number of trucks using the landfill on a daily basis. Furnace Road absorbs the traffic.

LORTON’S PAST SHOULD NOT DEFINE ITS FUTURE

The new Lorton does not benefit from having its industrial past unnecessarily extended for an additional 22 YEARS solely to benefit a private company - ESI


O P P O S E I T

ENVIRO SOLUTIONS, INC. THREE PROMISES – ALL BROKEN!

Close

Landfil

l Operations in 2018

• Date Certain Closure: Guaranteed this noxious land use in Lorton would be closed forever

Build

Trails on the Hillside

and a Public Park at

the top

• Trails: Equestrian/hiking, exercise stations and running/biking trail

• Overlook Ridge Park was to include an amphitheater, pavilion, bird sanctuary areas & sculpture park

Landscape & Green the Landfil

l Hillside

• Phased landscaping from top to bottom of mountain

• Bench planting of deciduous and evergreen trees with perennial grasses and shrubs

In 2006, ESI made three major promises

to the community in turn for support for an expansion of the landfill’s height from

290 ft to 412 ft


O P P O S E I T

THREE PROMISES UNFULFILLED AT THE EXPENSE OF SOUTH

COUNTY


Enviro Solutions, Inc. has broken all three of these promises. Many in the community today regret their support of the 2006 expansion.

With this new application ESI is trying to undo its agreement to close the landfill.

ESI is deficient on its landscaping requirements.

In the new application, ESI has added so many conditions it is likely this new “Green Energy Plan” will suffer the same fate as the prior unfulfilled promises.

O P P O S E I T

CONTRACTORS WILL GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO GO DIRECTLY TO A LANDFILL, WHERE DISPOSAL IS

CHEAPER, THAN TO A RECYCLING/TRANSFER CENTER, WHERE DISPOSAL IS MORE EXPENSIVE?


ESI owned transfer stations. Where is this trash transferred to?

Red Dots are Recycling Centers (13)Yellow Dots are Transfer Stations (6)Blue Dots are Landfills (5)

Recycling centers serve local areas; ESI’s Landfill is serving MUCH more than that

UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSEDSouth County Federation is an association of 34 homeowner associations. In April 2013, it unanimously passed a resolution OPPOSING ENVIRO SOLUTIONS, INC.’S APPLICATION.
