Close Landfill Operations in 2018 Date Certain Closure: Guaranteed this noxious land use in Lorton would be closed forever Build Trails on the Hillside and a Public Park at the top Trails: Equestrian/hiking, exercise stations and running/biking trail Overlook Ridge Park was to include an amphitheater, pavilion, bird sanctuary areas & sculpture park Landscape & Green the Landfill Hillside Phased landscaping from top to bottom of mountain Bench planting of deciduous and evergreen trees with perennial grasses and shrubs In 2006, ESI made three major promises to the community in turn for support for an expansion of the landfill’s height from 290 ft to 412 ft FOR THE FUTURE OF SOUTH COUNTY O P P O S E I T
T HREE P ROMISES U NFULFILLED AT THE E XPENSE OF S OUTH C OUNTY FOR THE FUTURE OF SOUTH COUNTY Enviro Solutions, Inc. has broken all three of these promises. Many in the community today regret their support of the 2006 expansion. With this new application ESI is trying to undo its agreement to close the landfill. ESI is deficient on its landscaping requirements. In the new application, ESI has added so many conditions it is likely this new “Green Energy Plan” will suffer the same fate as the prior unfulfilled promises. O P P O S E I T
