"Riverbend" has caused substantial harm to the environment and to surrounding farmlands on the first day of its' operation.

Years later, Riverbend has become a "Hazardous Waste site" in need of; closure, clean-up, years of ground-water monitoring and contaminating pollutants removal. And let us not forget the odors and the "cleansing of the air" which is also a "clean-up" requirement.

A "ZERO WASTE" program to eliminate landfills and to stabilize garbage rates through the creation of new markets for products made from recyclables is a mandatory component of climate change remediation.

The issue at hand, the county’s decision in 2016 to declare an expansion of Riverbend would not cause a substantial change to local farm practices, or a substantial cost increase for them, has already made several rounds of the court system."

The aforementioned position in conjunction with taxpayer's monies "wasted" by Yamhill County Commissioners on Riverbend expansion, requires the voters to consider removing those Commissioners who made the decision in 2016 (if they are still on the taxpayer's payroll).

The sooner we adopt "ZERO WASTE" the better-off the planet, the local economy and our pocketbooks will be.
