I lived in Mulberry for 28 years, taught at LCHS for 20 years, reared my sons there, and love everything about Lincoln County. One missed opportunity years ago was to join the Conservancy for Rails and Trails. Please, don’t miss another opportunity. Please, recognize the value of green space and exercise areas, ecological balance and quality of life which these trails would support.

I understand both side of this issue! It appears that FPU has not broken any laws, but does it have a conscience when it comes to the health of the Elk River and the message that it would be sending to the "Troubled Youth" that worked so hard and learned so much, by creating the park, this past Summer?!?!?!?

These trails are the only nice public place in the city of Fayetteville to walk, run, and take my dog. It is a shame that the full length of them cannot be enjoyed because of this dumping!

It's past time to pay attention to our environment and make industries and governments responsible for toxic waste. Please clean up the site and put it to good use for recreation.

Folks this is an amazing trail system which weaves in and out of the treeline running along beside the beautiful Elk River! Where else in Fayetteville/Lincoln County can you go on public property to hike, bike, or walk and be this close to the river (which feels like it's miles away from the city when in fact it's not)? In this day and age many more people are concerned about health and wellness..... these trails are an amazing escape to satisfy both physical exercise as well as mental (stress relief). Please tell everyone you know about our trails and help us reopen them!

From part of the statement Mrs Ralston was allowwed to read by lameduck Shelton at the last Board meetingon the 9th, it appears Mrs Ralston has science in her corner with evidence to stand on.

After what we Americans have learned over the past 40 years about toxic environments, how can this be? Many volunteers put in long hours to make this dream of safe, beautiful trails possible.

Since I have been attending Berry College running has been an important part of my university life; however, when I would come home there were few trails or places to run. After much hard work and dedication, the trails were opened and provided a scenic place to continue running when I came home. Please, do not let this valuable property and its potential benefits go to waste simply because of past mistakes! It isn't too late to take action and create change!

Proper waste management should be a priority of all cities, counties, and towns in this country. This is not just about the environment it is about our health and safety.

I believe that FPU, the city of Fayetteville, and all its citizens would best be served by a comprehensive look at waste management that considers, not just financial costs, but environmental impact and other considerations as well.

Having a child who spent 21 days in Vanderbilt Children's Hospital 2 years ago and suffering ill effects of E-Coli that resulted in HUS and kidney failure, I have to stand behind anyone willing to fight to make our environment safe. Surely there is a better place for such dumping of sludge. I have walked the trails in the past and it was a very rewarding way to experience God's creation.
