Being no stranger to GSE or the Pleasant Ave compost site, I have to say
that what we have here is a case of apples and oranges, and that Maplewood
has a plum. (A sloe screw?) What is different about your "bad site" that
makes it evil, while ours is perfectly fine and no one's complained about
any mold issues? UV? RH? Wind? Vegetation? AIDS hospice? Terrorism?
I'll be pissed if they get rid of Pleasant because you think it's killing
us. Let's not cut off our nose to spite our face. It doesn't get much
more organic than compost. What does the U of M Extension Service have to
say about all this? Maybe people who haven't spent enough time in the dirt
or smoke lose immunities, and soon we'll all have to live in bubbles...
As an environmentally concerned citizen, I have to say that it will take a
lot of convincing to get me to join this fight. If you are fighting to get
Gov't to address the reasons for the presence of mold in Maplewood and none
in the West End, I'm behind you all the way; if you're trying to shut down
compost sites, then don't you know that you can count me out. What's the
goal?

starting against Ramsey County Compost Program -
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Evidentiary hearings next week

I have followed the case of many friends that have languished under a now
defunct Ramsey County Compost site in Maplewood. You may ask why this may
be relevant to Saint Paul, and I will tell you there are many compost sites
of this nature operating within the city limits of Saint Paul and managed
by the County.
I would like to invite those on the list who are environmentally concerned
and want to be on the cutting edge of information about mold contamination
and compost sites to consider attending and listening to the proceedings
next week.
If you are interested in the details of Where and When, please respond to
me privately and I will send you the information. If the manager of the
list thinks it is of enough importance to broadcast to all on the list, I
will be happy to put the information out to the entire list.
For those of you that have worked against the Ethanol Plant and have toiled
for years under this plant, you might find a bond in common with this group
of individuals. Many who originally were involved in bringing the suit
against the County in the first place back in the late eighties and early
nineties, have since passed away due to illnesses incurred by the compost
site that is now closed. All of the homes in the area have been infested
with mold that cannot be eliminated without completely destroying the
buildings and burying them.
I think that it would be a great opportunity for those who are trying to
educate themselves on environmental hazards to be there and I guarantee
you, you will be spellbound by the information you receive.
I know that attending the hearings myself up to and including the hearing
before the Supreme Court of Minnesota in the fall of 2002, left me with a
strong committment to see that government does not involve itself in areas
of science they know nothing about.
Again, attending will be the best thing that you did for yourself and for
those that are fighting this in the court system. Who knows, tomorrow it
could be you.
