Friends, we are hearing horrifying stories about how bad the leachate smells along the sewer line in Green Ridge have been for years. (A picture of what leachate looks like is attached to this post.)

If you are currently experiencing odor issues, have had problems in the past with malodors causing burning in your eyes, throat, or nostrils, have recurrent headaches or any other concerns that you feel may be related to your environment there is a DEP Complaint form on this website.http://www.friendsoflackawanna.org/

Our government agencies can only help if they are made aware of problems. Send them any concerns you have, big or small, and let them determine if it's environmentally related. That's their job.
