Dear Mr. Collins,

I am an average citizen of the State of Maryland. As 
such, the major investment of my lifetime is my home. It is the basis of my retirement and the growth investment Idepend on forfuture needs.

This investment will be unfairly take from me by Chesapeake Terrace when they open their rubble landfill on property near my home. You see the actual landfill area forthis proposed facility abuts the back of my property. Fromthe quite, rural, forested setting, my property becomes anoisy, dangerous place to live. As a result, I expect myproperty value to decrease dramatically. 

The worst part of this dreadful scenario is that it is UNNECESSARY. Anne Arundel County does NOT NEED this rubblelandfill, does NOT WANT it, and is forced to accept itbecause the owner sued the county to get in the Solid WasteManagement Plan. I know there is an environmental justicelaw in the State of Maryland, and wonder if it could beused to STOP THIS TRAVESTY.

I urgently request that MDE not issue a Refuse DisposalPermit to the Chesapeake Terrace Rubble Landfill.

                                                                             Sincerely,
