Concerning Resource Recovery's proposal to revitalize an industrial rail link to serve a proposed landfill and associated facilities: I object to this project in that it is ill-conceived and is inappropriate for the environment in which it is being considered. It will adversely impact state park land, a high quality watershed, newly acquired recreational facilities and in general mess up a real special place of Central Pennsylvania. Our country needs much more incentive to find alternative means to deal with solid waste than to simply bury it. We need more recycling. We need more local responsibility in dealing with our waste streams. We don't need to truck, rail and otherwise haul it away from our urban areas. This is too easy and unfairly and unsustainably burdens our open areas and vanishing wilderness. It is bad enough that a new rails-to-trails recreational facility will be taken with this proposal, but to even consider a quarry and haul road right next to the high quality stream Black Moshannon Creek displays a severe lack of understanding and care on the part of the applicant. I hope to move back to this part of Central PA someday, but am afraid that if this project goes through, there will be no point. Please deny RRC's application. Thank you Dave Coleman
