Rally for Environmental Protection
March 21, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FreeJoin us at the Front Steps of the Alabama State House. 11 South Union Street in Montgomery.
Citizens of St. Clair and Jefferson County are suffering from ADEM’s failure to regulate and control 2 privately operated dumps. People are breathing carcinogenic smoke from a 15 acre “green dump site fire that has been burning since before Thanksgiving. It’s been discovered that more than trees and vegetation were being dumped. There have been tires, appliances and unknown chemicals allowed on the site. AND yesterday it was reported that just down the road from the fire, there is an abandoned waste disposal site with thousands gallons of toxic chemicals sitting out in the elements. The owner died in 2013. The waste is now flowing into a nearby creek.
Goals for the Rally:
1. New ADEM leadership
2. For Alabama State Government to be aware of how its citizen are affected by ADEM’s mismanagement.
3. Actions of ADEM must reflect their mission statement.
4. Greater regulations of landfills and dump sites.
