Scott Anderson- Director, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
Attention: Allan Moore, DS-Mke-ZOB 00344
We are writing to make a formal request to stop the permitting and NOT allow for the
distribution of waste on property of Todd Lish/Freedom Farms near Fielding Ut.
We have farmed and lived in this area for more than 20 years and wish to continue to do
this without the constant nuisance of bugs, flies, and birds brought on by this horrible smell
which comes from this rotten product. l don't want us or anyone else in our community to have
to deal with non-stop problems that will most certainly come by allowing this waste to be
dumped.
We live just outside of Fielding (about a mile). The property that is permitted to have this
waste dumped on it sits approximately one mile north of our home. We have a young family
and we do not want any of these negative problems and horrible smell to affect our family. We
do not want our home, kids and life to suffer because of this waste. We don't want to be forced
to stay indoors or away from our home because of the rotten smell and other nuisances that will
accrue.
Farmers also neighbor this ground directly in every direction. This will create a problem
for them with the attraction of bugs, flies, birds and possibly more. All these problems will have
a direct effect on their crops. A horrible smell, along with the nuisance of bugs, birds etc. will
cause issue with their ability to be able to work effectively outside near the waste. This is a
huge concern and problem for all farmers in this area because this impacts their livelihood
greatly!
There are many others that will also be negatively affected by the distribution of this
product. Fielding, Beaver Dam and Plymouth are 3 neighboring communities all of which will be
affected by all the nuisances that will come if allowed. Fielding Elementary School is only a few
miles away from the property which will surely be affected. Other nearby communities, ( l didn't
list) might also be affected.
Todd Lish (to whom the permit was given) does NOT live in, or near this community. He
obviously doesn't care how it will affect those of us who DO! Dumping this waste and allowing
Todd Lish to continue with these "Non-typical farming practices" will have no affect on him.
However, It will cause huge problems for the people who actually are living and working in or
near this community!
l believe WE who actually live here, should have the say in what happens to our
community...NOT the man who happened to find some ground to buy...!
We as people in this community do NOT want to suffer with all the nuisances and
problems that this waste will bring, some of which we are probably still unaware!
l am sure that most members of the community are currently unaware of the what is in
the process, but l am certain that if needed they would be willing to do whatever it takes to stop
this from happening.
Because of the time factor in this matter, l felt it necessary to send this letter ASAP in
hopes to stop this process before it gets any further.
Please do NOT allow any dumping on this or any other ground neighboring this
community.
Sincerely, and Amber Richards
