Estill County Residents to Rally on Radioactive Waste Concerns

kentucky.com

The state attorney general’s office has determined there is insufficient evidence to seek criminal charges in the disposal of radioactive waste in an Estill County landfill.

Still, a number of residents plan to rally this weekend.  Tom Bonny is with the newly created Concerned Citizens of Estill County.  “We’re just very concerned that this landfill could become a dumping ground for any and everything and would cause a risk to the citizens who live around it on all sides of it,” said Bonny.

Bonny says a major worry is the amount of material, its radioactive half-life, and its proximity to schools.   The rally is scheduled for five o clock tomorrow night at the Estill County High School.?
