Editorials, Reporting on Landfill Appreciated
* Thank you for your editorials and concise reporting regarding the Elsmere Canyon landfill situation. The Elsmere site (10 miles north of Sylmar) will not only be an eyesore to the pristine forest area but might permanently contaminate the water supply underneath the landfill, causing indeterminable and irreversible health damage to residents. In addition, Placerita Canyon County Park neighbors the landfill site and would be ruined by the smell, eyesore and health risks caused by trash dumping.
Although Browning Ferris has shown extreme irresponsibility in its proposed use of this land, residents of L.A. County must also take responsibility for creating so much garbage and not fully utilizing recycling facilities for glass and aluminum.
