The recent letter to the editor by Deborah Ferrucio appears to question
my personal honesty and integrity by stating that my statements before the
Warren County Board of Commissioners differed from those I made to a group
of citizens outside the commissioners~ meeting. This statement simply is
not true.
I am both professionally and personally convinced that the PCB landfill
in Warren County, and the processes used to remove and treat water from that
landfill, are as safe as possible. Neither poses any significant threat to
the health of the citizens of Warren County.
Mrs. Ferrucio apparently has taken my comments out of context to make
it appear that I have expressed my thoughts on these matters differently to
different people. This is not so, as several members of the Warren County
Citizens Concerned about PCB can testify.
Space does not permit me to answer Mrs. Ferrucio's allegations, point
by point. However, my views on the landfill and the water removal and
treatment processes, which have been consistent from the beginning, are a
matter of public record.
Respectfully,
William L. Meyer
