Just Say No to Raw Human Sewage




PROPER SEWAGE MANAGEMENT! 

Does it make sense to bury known leaking tanks, which required replacement from a gas-station, next to Deer Creek and then fill those leaking-tanks with 60,000 gallons of raw-human-sewage from Snowshoe & Silver Creek – as done by Alleghany Disposal, LLC in Green Bank?   Fecal matter in the drinking water, streams & rivers is the most dangerous element next to toxic-chemicals!  Therefore there needs to be an inventory of all underground storage tanks for their structural integrity, location, and removal away from any flood-plain or natural water source.  Our collective health & safety is too important than risking toxins & deadly bacteria into our common environment!

Further it is a known fact that the municipal water supply in Marlinton is in desperate need of repair & replacement!  The same applies to their sewage-treatment facility!  And that also applies to the Town of Durbin – made worse by the fact that Durbin has been included in the Public Service District with Snowshoe & Silver Creek that has over developed itself to the extent that they need an entirely new sewage-treatment facility on the mountain!  Yet with the massive Debt in excess of $1.5 Billion, there is little chance that either Intrawest or Fortress holding companies will ever be able to afford or get credit for a new sewage-treatment facility that will cost upwards to $30 Million!  That’s why the State of West Virginia needs to take Receivership of both resorts, and relegate the day to day operations to Pocahontas County since it’s our county Citizens that are operating the resorts already – then split the profits 60% to the State & 40% to a ‘Workers CO-OP’ for the county!
