Ban the Toxic Landfill in Southeast Chicago!
I wish to voice my opposition to the Army Corps of Engineers' & the Chicago Department of Transportation's proposed plans to build a toxic dump in the 10th Ward. The proposed site will contain lead, manganese, CBD's, coal tar and other toxic materials. There are currently 8 landfills in the ward. We do not need another one and do not want this in our community!
As concerned citizens, we want our federal representatives and city officials to listen to our voices and put an immediate stop to all plans to build a dump containing toxic dredge materials. We want to raise our families in healthy communities free of pollution. As an elected official, we are asking you to represent the views of your residents and put a stop to this proposed toxic dump.

Why is this important?
The Army Corps of Engineers & the Chicago Department of Transportation want to build a toxic dump in the 10th Ward. The proposed site will contain lead, manganese, CBD's, coal tar and other toxic materials. The Southeast Side currently has 8 landfills. It is not the dumping ground for the city of Chicago! We do not want this in our community.
