COMMENT NO. 13: Bottomline, is the the people living in this region whose wells have been compromised, those whose agricultural land has been contaminated or at risk of contamination and the serious impact of water quality in the delta that could impact a $15 Billion dollar project should be enough evidence that Republic Services Forward Landfill processing increase proposal should be put on hold or rejected outright.
