RESOLUTION OF COMMITMENT IN OPPOSITION TO THE HAZARDOUS WASTE LANDFILL & INCINERATOR IN IREDELL
COUNTY: MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to adopt the following resolution read by County Attorney
Pope:
MOVE that the Iredell County Board of Commissioners reaffirm its opposition to the efforts by
the Hazardous Waste Commission to locate a hazardous waste landfill in Iredell County, and more
specifically, the site on the Iredell County/Rowan County line known as SA9.
FURTHERMORE, the Hazardous Waste Commission should take notice that Iredell County, together
with neighboring Rowan County will do everything within its power to prove that the criteria estab-
lished by the commission for site selection is contrary to state law, is based on insufficient data,
and the findings are not based on verifiable information.
In addition, the Board calls on its citizens to use restraint and reason in expressing opposi-
tion to the locating of the proposed facility in Iredell County/Rowan County. All efforts should be
lawful and supportable by factual information.
We will use every lawful means to fight this menace and we need the cooperation of all our
citizens, but let's not engage in counterproductive or illegal activities.
