Petition against the Long Harbour Road Industrial Compost Facility

Strongly opposed.

Do not want this facility near my home or cabin..If there aren't any problems with this facility why dont they put it closer to their home town. I'm guessing their neighbors don't want the facility there either, for the same reasons we dont want it.

Our cabin will be very close to this . I want to be able to get out and enjoy the freash air not the stink that will come from this any every thing else that comes with it. It has been turned down in two other places buy dump on us.

No, no, and no again

Enjoy this area for camping and fishing.

Not in favour of this -air quality - fresh water polution - salt water polution - influx of rodents and don't forget bears looking for food -

This area is used for hunting and fishing by many local residents. Also the increased traffic on an already busy narrow road with no shoulder to pull off would cause serious concerns to many drivers.Lastly the prevailing winds blow directly across chapel arm and as a resident I’m will not want to smell decaying animals while outside of my home.

Odours,pests & predators!

An example of what this could turn out like in years to come. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/seafood-sauce-cleanup-st-marys-1.5005356

Why have a facility like this so far away from the place the compost materials will be coming from? I am sure there is land closer that could be used! We all know transportation cost are high and not getting any cheaper. As far as I know there is no where in our town/area that this waste is being produced, is the sole purpose of this site based on the fact that it was thought no one would object of it? The fact that it was proposed for other sites and turned down doesn’t make anybody feel good. If it was no good for other places it’s no good for us.

From 1968 to 1989 we were forced to breath in the disgusting smell of a phosphorus plant and now 30 years later we're being told that, low and behold, we are once again being targeted with what promises to be even more offensive. Thanks, but no thanks!

I’m not against having such a facility but I prefer it not be located near communities and cottage areas.

I do not want this anywere near my town.

This area has been coattage cottage and summer camping area for decades. Take it somewhere else

I do not agree with this facility being in this location I live in Mount Pearl and we have a few days a year that we deal with the smell from neighboring farms. I can’t imagine it everyday. Not being able to enjoy your own backyard.

The impact this facility on closely adjacent cottage owners, campers and communities is reason enough to reject the application. Crown lands has opened all the land around this proposed site for cottages, will charge fair market value for deeds to said land and subject applicants to extensive water and sewer regulations while at the same time allowing a compost facility nearby completely counterveens the intent behind opening the area to people and families to enjoy the outdoors.

As a resident of Chapel Arm I do not agree with housing this facility near my community. Newfoundland is blessed with an abundance of land on which a compost facility can be placed so there is no need to keep searching for sites that will arguably have negative effects on nearby communities. The mere fact that this proposal has been turned down in the past speaks volumes. I fully support any and all environmental efforts, composting included, but home owners and cabin owners who have to live in the area deserve to raise their families without the negative effects that are bound to occur.

I do not want this compost anywhere near my community!

Keep this discussing process out of our area & all residential areas.
