Attention: Allen Moore
We are writing to make a formal request to stop the permitting and NOT allow the
distribution of waste on the property of Todd Lish/Freedom Farms near Fielding, UT.
It has come to my attention that a permit for "non-typical farming" has been granted for
spreading rotten whey products on farm ground east of Fielding.
l enjoy being in this community and wish to continue to do this without the economic
and environmental impact this process will bring to the community. Our community will be
devastated as it is like dumping liquid toxin on farm land. The toxic waste will affect the ground
water and in time the Bear River will not be able to support fish and other wild life. Reports
from other areas say their rivers have become like the Dead Sea. Fish are not able to survive the
impact in their environment.
Remember what it was like to have snow and rain runoff? What happens when the land
can't support the large numbers of gallons of liquid whey byproduct?
Where will the underground water contaminates go ...our Underground Spring, our personal
wells where many homes in the community use it as their only source of drinking water, also it
can affect the leach fields of our septic tanks.
There are other concerns as well, like the smell of rotten whey, the rodents and other
pests, the many big trucks daily delivering the byproduct driving past our school.
We have no idea of what the long term effect will be once it begins, but other
communities around the country have been adversely affected by similar processes of the toxic
whey byproduct. We who live here should have the say in what happens to our community and
we do not want this non-typical farming practice in our community.
We as the people in this community do NOT want to suffer with all the problems,
impact and nuisances that this waste will bring.
Sincerely
