This petition is against the proposed rezoning of Agricultural lands in Elkhart, Illinois to M3-Extraction. The rezone proposal by applicant ICG Illinois LLC and Ark Land Company asks to expand the coal refuse sites in operation at the Viper Mine in Logan County to include new refuse dump sites and impoundments with accompanying structures. The citizens are against this proposed rezone because of the possible threat it poses to the health, water quality, air quality, tourism and community in Elkhart and Logan County.

Updates

November 2, 2014

The feedback from local residents regarding the potential environmental impact on our agricultural land has been insightful and sobering. I am currently compiling these concerns into a formal report to present to the zoning board. Further updates will follow as we track the progress of the application.

Keep our land for farming. We dont need more coal waste sitting right next to our homes and ruining the water around here. Just stop it.
