IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:
We appreciate everyone’s involvement in our paper and online petition.  They both are making it very clear where the East Lauderdale Environment Conscious Citizens (ELECC) stand.  The approval of this permit would put the general public at a health risk and could cause an environmental catastrophe.  The online signatures and comments are growing daily and our paper petition is now at over 7200 signatures.  Please continue your support with both, but do realize that all comments you wish to make to ADEM within the 30 day public notice period that starts January 17, 2008 and ends on March 26, 2008, must be done with in that time frame and properly.  Please include the permit # AL0078875 on the first page and make sure you request a public hearing!  Click here for instructions
