My name is Louise and I live in Wamboin NSW with my young family. I strongly object to Veolia’s proposed incinerator being built in Tarago
I am concerned about Veolia’s toxic industrial waste incinerator and the effects that it will have on the health of my young family and others around us.
The effects of this incinerator on the natural environment where we live, play and work will not only affect our area but the areas around us. The proposal for the incinerator to emit toxic air pollution 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year for 25 years will emit its pollution across the Canberra, Goulburn, Braidwood, Bungendore, Murrumbateman, Gunning, Marulan, Yass and more regions. This high yielding agricultural area will be poisioned.
I fear for the welfare of my family – what affects will that have on my young children who already have medical conditions
There are other more sustainable and environmentally friendly ways to deal with our ever growing waste.
Kind regards
Louise

Please see my submission on what follows the incinerator.

Annex P: Human Health Impact Assessment. Recommend third party conduct an assessment on the outcomes of the HHRA. Negligible risks for inhalation and multi-pathway exposures over the life of the project seems too good to be true. A waste incinerator will release chemicals. Furthermore, why build this so close to a community?

Annex T: Traffic impact assessment. No material impacts expected during operations phase. Trucks continually use the section of road between Crisps Creek IMF and collector road, which has a considerable gradient. Should the incinerator proceed, an overtaking lane should be constructed on this part of Bungendore road.

My name is Bob Moore and I live in Mount Fairy. I strongly object to Veolia's proposed incinerator being built in Tarago. Let us start by calling this what it really is an "Incinerator". As a French company let Veolia build this on French soil and leave Australia's natural wonder as unpolluted as possible.
How can this proposal be supported by any government that is seeking to drastically reduce our nation's emission levels given the current level of global warming and the associated extreme weather events that it causes across the globe.
Why does Veolia think it is appropriate to process waste from Sydney and Canberra in a rural environment where any pollution will enter the food chain via fruit, vegetables, animals and products raised or produced in the area and consumed and exported.
The foregoing are examples of how this incinerator will affect our community and anyone who consumes items produced in the area will. Surely the equation is a simple one "People before Profit" in light of the adverse affect on the environment, the health of the local residents and anyone consuming food products generated in the surrounding area.
This proposal is absolutely ridiculous in any area and even more so in a rural community where the residents do not have the option of properly treated and filtered town water, but rather rely on rainwater collected from their roof as their only supply for drinking, cooking and all other domestic uses. Obviously, any water collected from the roof would no longer be potable given the airborne particles that would be generated by Veolia's incinerator.
The current state of the roads in the area is all the proof needed that these same roads cannot support any increase in heavy vehicle traffic, that this incinerator would generate at the very least between Canberra and the site just outside Tarago and also likely from Sydney and wherever else Veolia can win contracts to increase its wealth and scope of operations.
If we can no longer drink rainwater and have primary production as part of any rural or domestic holding in the area, then anyone living in the area should be compensated or have their properties purchased by Veolia for their pre-Incinerator value as the Incinerator is guaranteed to reduce the value of our properties.
Why when we are committing to moving away from coal fueled power stations to reduce emissions towards our national target are we even considering Veolia's garbage Incinerator.

SAY NO READ THE REASONS ATTACHED
WASTE OF MONEY, TIME AND EFFORT

My name is Nicole Shorten and I live in Mount Fairy. I strongly object to Veolia’s proposed incinerator being built in Tarago.

I believe that Veolia’s toxic industrial waste incinerator will cause serious pollution, toxic air streams and damage to our water tables and farming land.
Veolia is already responsible for serious pollution to the air we breathe due to the toxic smells that come from the waste management they do nothing to control the pollution already being spread throughout the local community.
They have caused a massive amount of trucks to travel our community creating extremely dangerous potholes and road damage.
Veolia have done nothing to mitigate the health concerns that have been raised continuously for our children who go to school in Tarago and are subjected to the smells from the Veolia site. The children cannot even drink town water due to the pollution.
There are many reasons for my objection, such as:
Archaic method of reducing waste, better technology available
Increased Traffic
Road Damage
Smell, already stinks do not need to add to problem
Toxic Air Pollution
Property values decreasing
Water table pollution
Water tank pollution due to incinerator dirt and dust
No more drinking water
Soil pollution
