Eleven County Commissioners Support CCP Project

On the evening of June 15th, the Cumberland County Commission voted 11-5 to approve a proposal by Smith Mountain Solutions, to haul Coal Combustion Product (coal ash) and dump it in what will be a Subtitle "D" landfill on property currently owned by Crossville Coal Company on Smith Mountain Road.

The people of Cumberland County and especially the families living on Smith Mountain Road seem to have been viewed as so much collateral damage by those Commissioners that supported this proposal.

The Commissioners supporting this project were:

Commissioner Tollett; David Gibson, 4th District; Jack Davis and Trey Kerley, 5th District; Wendell Wilson and Terry Carter, 6th District; Harvel and Kenneth Carey, 7th District; Jeff Brown and Greg Maxwell, 8th District; and Cramer.
