To encourage Scott county to do an Environmental Impact Sttudy on the YMCA project and new road through the watershed.
Why is this important?
The YMCA is buying land in New Market Township for a camp, neither the state or county has required an Environmental Impact Study. Even though they will put 72 horse in a fenced 10 acre lot where acid from manure and urine will soak the ground and enter ground water, filling and maintaining a swimming pool for 300 people plus toilets and showers-which may effect the aquifer and last taking a small dirt road which runs through a natural watershed, where wild life exist and turning it into a bus and large truck road. This will require the changing or draining of a natural pond where the wild life comes to drink. The road may also cause a higher rate of drainage into neighboring properties. The impact of noise from vehicles and the change in air quality from diesel buses, trucks etc is also a concern to the bees and other wild life.
