Lewiston, NY is home to 2 Large Hazardous Waste sites still active! Another is owned and mothballed by the US Government, plus the landfill in Niagara Falls. These waste sites need clay to be capped as each layer is finished. There is Clay Mining happening throughout Lewiston under the disguise of Farm Ponds! Or Recreational Ponds that owners of large properties have no use for after being dug, and by digging for clay it's lucrative! Mawhiney Trucking in Wilson, alias NY Tughill Environmental and Niagara Clay(why the different names?) uses Very Large Dump Trucks that when loaded need a "Tag Axle" to be lowered allowing the truck to haul more weight! These trucks put excessive wear and tear on our roads and bridges, plus they have been documented speeding in excess over the speed limit 20 MPH! So at 45 they do 65-70 MPH! Then there's Moderns Garbage trucks that on way to neighborhoods and returning to dump load and then back, along with Garbage trucks from NT, and Tonawanda all speed with no regard for others (because no police agency Ever stops a Modern vehicle?). Meanwhile Passenger cars and trucks get ticketed constantly but the Lewiston Police won't even Warn these trucks? Please Help and sign, before someone is killed! The Sheriffs or State Troopers don't stop these trucks either!

Michael, I have spoken at town board meetings and mawhiney tri king is not well liked. They want to dig another large pond right next to the o e they are digging now. Lewiston has allowed them to complete this one for this year as it was suppose to be done by 2006. Lewiston wants to hear residents Co plants or if they are for these ppnds? Please sign my petition and call and write to a lewiston board member. Mention these trucks speeding as I am finally getting some progress. Lewiston Chief Salads is sending an officer to commercial ill vehicle enforcement school to be able to stop these trucks I live at 4888 stop in I would love to hear what you have to say

I fully support that these trucks are a hazard to the community!! The clay mines are illegal and need to be stopped!!

Michael, we need signatures. Right now Lewiston Town Board thinks I'm only one complain and only 3 people signed this?
