TDEC denies permit for sludge field, City closes 4 miles of Trails for Kids anyway!

TDEC denied Fayetteville Public Utilities their permit to apply sludge December 13 in a letter and e-mail, still the next day the City of Fayetteville and FPU acted prematurely and closed the Elk River Trail and Blue Bird Trail, 4 miles of trails built by volunteers and approved by the city of Fayetteville and FPU in October 2009.  Why the Alderman couldn't wait to hear what TDEC would decide is obvious.  FPU runs the city of Fayetteville, telling FPU NO  has never been an option, thank God TDEC did!  The City did not close these trails, FPU did, to hide what they have done and would have continued to do if not for TDEC finally closing the sludge field.
