Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The commissioners did not listen to the almost 5,500 public
voices of opposition. This facility will not service any of the
surrounding neighborhoods and only brings established residents
negative outcomes. This location is halfway between a landfill
and the North Gateway transfer station and is not needed as
much as RS tries to claim. When it comes down to it, this station
only brings benefits for a mega corporation and a completely
different city (Surprise) and not the hard working citizens of North
Peoria and Sun City.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Commissioners seemingly had mind made up with an approval
already. All public comments were in opposition representing
thousands of voices, yet all commissioners approved
unanimously without condition and without yielding any questions
to applicant or their safety heads who were on the line. The
process for agenda #3 seemed rushed and they were eager to
relay their approval without concern so they could adjourn.

This request is to appeal the approval of the application to move
forward for the waste transfer location at 303 Loop and El Mirage
road. We do not want a waste transfer station in the area that will
bring pollution, bad odor, toxic metals, noise and pollution from
garbage trucks. We want to keep the community clean and safe
for our families, without a waste transfer station in our proximity. 
Thank you!

of the Subject Case
This project and site is in close proximity to housing and
residential zoning. This would cause major issues with road and
freeway traffic, not to mention the debris falling off vehicles and
cause property/vehicle damage. If you drive north I-17 you’ll see
the potential hazards and mess this type of project cost. There
are other areas that are not directly surround by houses, schools,
churches and other businesses. Also if the mayor of Surprise is
in such favor let him build it in his area and see how’s his tax
payers and voters respond.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I live in one of the many nearby neighborhoods and am greatly
concerned with this proposed location. I am worried about the
smell that will come from the station (misters and protocols to
combat smell proposed by Republic do NOT work well enough),
the rodents that will be attracted to the trash whether trash is
actually kept overnight or not at the facility (do they think rats are
only attracted to smell at night?), the trash that will fly into the
desert and our communities, the noise that will come from the
facility, the traffic that will come from their trucks lining up
possibly all the way onto the 303, the contaminated runoff water
from the facility that will pollute our environment, and my home’s
value. I like to spend time outdoors with my family and I will not
be able to do that in my own home on my own property with the

smell and noise from this proposed facility. This location is simply
too close to communities and homes to be acceptable,
ESPECIALLY when there are other locations available closer to
their dump and closer to their customers (we aren’t even
serviced by Republic!). This location is simply unacceptable.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Dear Mr. Hickman and County Board Supervisors, 
The Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
rezone for the building of the Westwing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station, on January 27, 2022, therefore, disregarding
nearly 7000 residents’ voices of opposition.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment to the
passing of the zone change to allow the building of the WestWing
Recycling and Waste Transfer Station. I have many reasons to
oppose the building of this site, the most important being that my

home is located in one of the many nearby communities of the
proposed building and will therefore have a direct negative effect
on mine and my family's daily lives.
Our voices have spoken, not only once, but twice, against this
issue and should be taken seriously. You are the elected official
who represents the voice of all hardworking homeowners who
were established in these communities well before Republic
Services tried to pass this facility. Please listen to us.
Additionally, please remember that you stated you wanted
Republic Services to look for a site far away from established
communities. Therefore, please stand your ground and vote no
and encourage your fellow board members to do the same.
Thank you for your time and for supporting your constituents.

January 27, 2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Many members of the communities closely surrounding where
this transfer will be strongly oppose. There are many safety
concerns of having this site so close to homes. Also, restrictions
promised by Republic Services to be put in place will expire
within 5 years once the site is up and operating, which was very
deceiving by Republic Services in an attempt to gain the
communities trust.

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
When Republic Services proposed their last zoning request in
the middle of our residential community, we fought hard and they
supposedly “listened” and withdrew. Only to find their next
proposed place of residence less than a mile down the road. 
Their newest proposed location is in a light industrial zoned plot
(still surrounded by residential communities), that they are trying
to rezone to heavy industrial. Not only would this set a precedent
for similar heavy-industrial companies to swoop on in and take
over this residential area, but it’s close proximity to a sub-station
is a disaster waiting to happen- as proved by many recent
transfer station fires.

Not only will this eye-sore of a station diminish our home values,
but it will increase traffic down one of only two entrances into our
community (el mirage), increase heavy truck traffic (easily 100
roll off trucks per day), bring flies and bugs, bring rodents and
birds (which will transmit disease), generate loud noise, emit
noxious odors (not only from the trash but also from the
vehicles), produce toxins that will make us ill (including cancer,
birth defects, respiratory disease , skin irritations, blood infections
and genetic mutations), create litter in our neighborhoods and on
the surrounding roadways for miles, impact our air quality, and
impact the local infrastructure by destroying and deteriorating the
roads. All in all, it will destroy our health, destroy our community,
and cripple our home prices. This is NOT a welcomed
request/proposal whatsoever.

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I am a resident of the Coldwater Ranch community in Peoria off
of the 303 and Happy Valley Rd. I am writing today to make you
aware that there is a proposed zone change request for a
Republic Services waste transfer station to be built at North El
Mirage and the 303. Our community is extremely concerned with
this proposal and absolutely do not want it approved. 
When Republic Services proposed their last zoning request in
the middle of our residential community, we fought hard and they
supposedly “listened” and withdrew. Only to find their next
proposed place of residence less than a mile down the road. 
Their newest proposed location is in a light industrial zoned plot

(still surrounded by residential communities), that they are trying
to rezone to heavy industrial. Not only would this set a precedent
for similar heavy-industrial companies to swoop on in and take
over this residential area, but it’s close proximity to a sub-station
is a disaster waiting to happen- as proved by many recent
transfer station fires. 
Not only will this eye-sore of a station diminish our home values,
but it will increase traffic down one of only two entrances into our
community (el mirage), increase heavy truck traffic (easily 100
roll off trucks per day), bring flies and bugs, bring rodents and

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The communities opposition is not being heard. The community
was against this station when Republic friend to place it at 115th
Ave and Happy Valley, and now Republic is proposing another
location no more than 2 miles away! The community members of
Tierra Del Rio, Crossriver, Dos Rios, Rancho Mercado, Cold
Water Ranch, Rancho Carrillo and Vistancia do not want this
transfer station near their communities. 
Republic does not service our areas, there is no value add to
these communities, it will bring stench, rodents, and unnecessary
traffic. There is plenty of land off the 303 north near the new chip
plant etc where there are not homes and communities that
Republic could look at.

Please hear your communities concerns for a second time and
do not allow this transfer station to be put in near our homes that
we work hard for.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Dear County Board Supervisors, 
The Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
rezone for the building of the Westwing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station, on January 27, 2022, therefore, disregarding
nearly 7000 residents’ voices of opposition.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment to the
passing of the zone change to allow the building of the WestWing
Recycling and Waste Transfer Station. I have many reasons to
oppose the building of this site, the most important being that my
home is located in one of the many nearby communities of the

proposed building and will therefore have a direct negative effect
on mine and my family's daily lives.
Our voices have spoken, not only once, but twice, against this
issue and should be taken seriously. You are the elected official
who represents the voice of all hardworking homeowners who
were established in these communities well before Republic
Services tried to pass this facility. Please listen to us.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I am a concern resident of the area immediately surrounding this
proposed site for a waste transfer station and believe there are
better areas for a transfer station to be located than closely
nearby major residential neighborhoods such as the current site. 
When Republic Services proposed their last zoning request in
the middle of our residential community, the community fought
hard and they supposedly “listened” and withdrew. Only to find
their next proposed place of residence less than a mile down the
road. 
Their newest proposed location is in a light industrial zoned plot
(still surrounded by residential communities), that they are trying

to rezone to heavy industrial. Not only would this set a precedent
for similar heavy-industrial companies to swoop on in and take
over this residential area, but it’s close proximity to a sub-station
is a disaster waiting to happen- as proved by many recent
transfer station fires. 
Not only will this eye-sore of a station diminish our home values,
but it will increase traffic down one of only two entrances into our
community (el mirage), increase heavy truck traffic (easily 100
roll off trucks per day), bring flies and bugs, bring rodents and
birds (which will transmit disease), generate loud noise, emit
noxious odors (not only from the trash but also from the
vehicles), produce toxins that will make us ill (including cancer,
birth defects, respiratory disease , skin irritations, blood infections
and genetic mutations), create litter in our neighborhoods and on
the surrounding roadways for miles, impact our air quality, and
impact the local infrastructure by destroying and deteriorating the
roads. All in all, it will destroy our health, destroy our community,
and cripple our home prices. Please appeal this decision.

Please reconsider your stance on this transfer station. We do not

Republic stated that new homes are being built near transfer
stations. That may be true however those homeowners have a
choice if they want to move near the site. You are not giving
existing home owners in the area that same choice. Also this site
does not benefit these communities. Please move it closer to the
areas it will serve.

of the Subject Case
I feel we were not heard. I feel we were ignored during the whole
process. I think there needs to be more consideration in this. I
think they can find a place little further from a resdidentual area.
And not in such a bad spot regarding traffic. As the public will be
going there and NOT using the 303 as was claimed that the
dump trucks would take. Plus the smell the wall is not got stop
the smell trust me. My husband works next to transfer station
about a mile away it smells so terrible.

of the Subject Case
Hello, 
I am a resident of Rancho Mercado community and am 100%
opposed to the proposed location of the Republic Services waste
transfer station. In addition, I have come across exactly zero
people in my surrounding community who are in agreement with
a transfer station being placed at the proposed location. It's
disheartening when you spend your hard earned money on a
beautiful home and you find out less than a year later that there
are plans to place a transfer station (a stinky dump) right off the
main road that leads to your house. It's a shame and it needs to
be stopped.

of the Subject Case
The rezoning for Republic Services Waste Station is too close to
neighborhoods most of which are brand new. It is not an
appropriate location for a waste station and would be more
appropriate near the new commercial developments off of the
303 and i17. 
Please reconsider this decision as the impact it will have on
myself and my community will be huge. Rodents, smells, noise
etc. my home is not even 2 miles from the site, I’m a single mom
with two babies and moving isn’t an option for us. Please please
please reconsider this vote. There’s a waste station off grand and
deer valley which isn’t far from us already.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
rezone for the building of the Westwing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station, on January 27, 2022, therefore, disregarding
nearly 7000 residents’ voices of opposition.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment to the
passing of the zone change to allow the building of the WestWing
Recycling and Waste Transfer Station. I have many reasons to
oppose the building of this site, the most important being that my
home is located in one of the many nearby communities of the
proposed building and will therefore have a direct negative effect
on mine and my family's daily lives.

Our voices have spoken, not only once, but twice, against this
issue and should be taken seriously. You are the elected official
who represents the voice of all hardworking homeowners who
were established in these communities well before Republic
Services tried to pass this facility. Please listen to us.
Additionally, please remember that you stated you wanted
Republic Services to look for a site far away from established
communities. Therefore, please stand your ground and vote no
and encourage your fellow board members to do the same.
Thank you for your time and for supporting your constituents.

1/27/22
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I do not support the rezone for the Republic Services Waste
Transfer Station (aka dump). This area is much to close to
residential neighborhoods and should not be used as heavy
industrial. There are other locations that do not put residents of
our community at risk, bring down property values, or add traffic
to an increasingly crowded area. Imagine you had to live next to
the proposed dump-would you be concerned? Please listen to
your community who is apposed to this rezone.

Planning & Zoning
Commission Hearing
Date
1/27/2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
rezone for the building of the Westwing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station, on January 27, 2022, therefore, disregarding
nearly 7000 residents’ voices of opposition.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment to the
passing of the zone change to allow the building of the WestWing
Recycling and Waste Transfer Station. I have many reasons to
oppose the building of this site, the most important being that my
home is located in one of the many nearby communities of the
proposed building and will therefore have a direct negative effect
on mine and my family's daily lives.
Our voices have spoken, not only once, but twice, against this

issue and should be taken seriously. You are the elected official
who represents the voice of all hardworking homeowners who
were established in these communities well before Republic
Services tried to pass this facility. Please listen to us.
Additionally, please remember that you stated you wanted
Republic Services to look for a site far away from established
communities. Therefore, please stand your ground and vote no
and encourage your fellow board members to do the same.
Thank you for your time and for supporting your constituents. 
Sincerely,
Ebonie Bennett

Commission Hearing
Date
2/23/22
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I strongly object to the attempt of Republic Services to build a
waste transfer station so close to our neighborhoods and
communities. 
Abruptly following their rejected attempt to build a waste transfer
station at 115th Ave and Happy Valley (near residential
neighborhoods and communities) in 2020-21 due to much
objection from our community, Republic Services began planning
for their new area, just on the other side of the 303…also in close
proximity to residential neighborhoods and communities. In
addition to existing homes, there are a number of neighborhoods
in development to further expand the community in northwest
Peoria.

Waste transfer stations are not clean, sanitary, well-kept
facilities, and they have no place being so close to our homes. I
have great concerns over a waste transfer facility being less than
a half a mile away from existing homes and the negative impacts
this could have on our health, well-being, and the value of our
properties and community. 
I respectfully request that Republic Services not be allowed to re-
zone and build a waste transfer facility in so close to our
neighborhoods.

I agree.

The commission ignored the overwhelming opposition from
nearby communities that would be most adversely affected by
the station. There was no guarantee that odors and pests would
not travel to the surrounding neighborhoods. Neither the
commission nor the applicant sufficiently addressed why the
station could not be built further from residential neighborhoods
(given the abundance of desert). The commission failed to
answer why conditions to mitigate odor and pests would expire
after 5 years, per the Planning & Development Dept report, p. 22,
letter O.

Public opposition of this case was strong - 75% of the public
comments and survey signatures received were opposed to this
case. Those opposed live closest to the project and receive no
direct benefit for it. Additionally, the zoning commissioners did
not ask the applicant any questions or require the applicant to
directly answer questions asked by the public during the hearing.
The commissioners seemed to have their minds made up
regardless of the public comments and concerns brought forth
during the hearing.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment in the zone
change allowing the construction of the WestWing Recycling and
Waste Transfer Station. I oppose this project because my home
is located in one of the many nearby communities of the
proposed Waste Transfer Station and will, therefore, have a
direct negative impact on my and my family's daily lives. 
The neighboring communities have spoken, not once, but twice,
against this issue and should be taken seriously. 
Additionally, please remember that the Maricopa County
Commissioners requested that Republic Services look for a site
far away from established communities. This site is still within
close proximity of many communities, including most of the same
communities from the first proposed site. Additionally, many new

communities are proposed for the nearby surrounding area.
These communities will be negatively impacted by the odor,
rodents, noise, not to mention the long-term environmental
impact and reduction of home values, among other issues. 
If Surprise Mayor, Skip Hall, is so pleased that this is being built,
put it in Surprise where there is still a lot of open land away from
communities.

Dangerously close to schools and neighborhood. This will bring
way too much traffic into the neighborhood with schools, young
families with children. Also what comes along with garbage is
unwanted pests and disease carrying insects which in turn will
creat a health and well-being issue for the surrounding area.
That’s a lawsuit against the state for sure. Many attorneys call
the surrounding neighborhood home and are ready to bring it to
the city.

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
This is clearly spot zoning. The majority of this land is Light
Industrial and a spot just to satisfy the needs of one developer
should not occur. Otherwise additional landowners will request
spot zoning once the precedence has occurred. Also this facility
is to close to residential areas and should be located in a less
obtrusive area. Thank you for your time.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The commission ignored the overwhelming opposition from the
neighboring communities in the past. There was no guarantee
the orders or pests would not travel into the neighborhoods. The
commission nor the applicant could not give a reason as to why
the station cannot be built away from neighborhoods, there are
abundance of desert. The commission failed to explain why the
migrations to “help” with the order would expires after 5 years
p22 letter O. 
We fought the last time the applicant applied and the reasons are
still the same and clearly they do not take the communities
opinions or concerns into consideration as they are applying
again. We the community do not want this in our area.

I am in OPPOSITION to the Waste Management Transfer Station
on Mirage Road. Mirage may be off 303 and seem like a good
place for a Transfer Station, but has anyone thought about the
people who live there? There is an entire community that has
been there for many years, and 2 new ones. Such a move is
inconsistent with a housing community. Why not put it on the
other side of 303? Would you like this in your backyard?

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I don't feel we were represented by the commission. Their minds
were made up before the meeting. Limited time to voice our
concerns. They clearly admitted that they wouldn't want this
station in their backyards, but all voted yes for it to be in ours.
The smell, health hazzard alone is enough for this station not to
be put near a residential area. Then you factor in the fact that it
will lower the value of our homes, the added traffic to the area,
and the birds and animals that will be attracted to this station will
also be venturing into the neighborhoods near by, Please just be
honest, if you wouldn't want this near your home then why is it ok
to put it near someone else's home? There are so many other
locations this station could go without placing it somewhere that
could pose a health hazzard to others. Thank you for your time.

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The commission ignored the overwhelming opposition from
nearby communities that would be most
adversely affected by the station. There was no guarantee that
odors and pests would not travel to the surrounding
neighborhoods. Neither the commission nor the applicant
sufficiently addressed why
the station could not be built further from residential
neighborhoods (given the abundance of desert).
The commission failed to answer why conditions to mitigate odor
and pests would expire after 5 years,
per the Planning & Development Dept report, p. 22, letter O.

want a waste poluting facility near their homes. Move it a location

Something like this kind of facility should be located away from
residential housing areas especially for people like me who are
Senior Citizens. Despite all the statements regarding safety and
protection from commercial entities, the reality is that a plant like
this poses the kind of potential health, traffic and nuisance
annoyances and inconveniences that can daily impact the lives
of residences living near this facility. Do you job and protect the
interests of people who you actually really represent.

Commission Hearing

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Reason for Appeal: "The commissioners did not listen to the 12
speakers who expressed their objections to the rezoning of a
parcel of land to accommodate the proposed location of the
WWTransfer Station and showing thousands of county
residents/homeowners that are in opposition of this waste
transfer station in the proposed location. It is as if the zoning
commission had already made up their minds to recommending
such rezoning. Heavy Industrial will destroy the involved close
neighborhoods. Requesting the Board revisit this case."

The commission ignored the

adversely affected by the station.
There was no guarantee that
odors and pests would not travel
to the surrounding

sufficiently addressed why
the station could not be built
further from residential

abundance of desert).
The commission failed to answer
why conditions to mitigate odor
and pests would expire after 5
years,

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
to: Planning and Zoning Board of Supervisors 
re: Agenda #Z2021090 Westwing Recycling and 
Transfer Station
As a resident of Maricopa County and a homeowner
within 1/2 mile of this project, I am appealing the 
rezoning of this property.
According to the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance, Chapter 1, Section 104, entitled 
"Purpose" states "This amended
Zoning Ordinance is designed to promote the 
public health, peace, safety, comfort, convenience 
and general welfare
of the citizens of Maricopa county;...to protect the

character and stability of residential, business and 
industrial area..."
It is my strong opinion that a waste and recycling 
facility located near thousands of residential 
dwellings does not comply with
the Zoning Ordinance. When I built my new home 
in Sunleya in Sun City West 2 and 1/2 years ago, 
there was no indication 
that a transfer station would be considered less 
than a 1/2 mile from my home. Thousands of
residents living near this proposed site feel the 
same way. This type of heavy Industrial land use 
should be miles from residential
areas, not a few hundred yards. Under the best 
circumstances I can imagine unpleasant odor, 
increased truck traffic, insects, noise,
rats, blowing debris off of trucks, and probably 
more issues I haven't eventhought of yet. Listen to 
the residents telling you 
not to change this zoning to heavy industrial, and 
find another site for this project. The current 
location is totally unacceptable. 
This kind of project will undoubtedly hurt my home's
value, and at my age, I am unable and unwilling to 
move again. As elected officials
you must represent the thousands of residents who
were established in these neighborhoods long 
before Republic Services
began planning this facility. Thank you for your 
time, and please support your constituents in this 
matter.

Commission Hearing
Date
January 27, 2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I would like to request an appeal to the decision made by the
Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the West Wing
Recycling and Transfer Station. This facility is proposed for a
location very close to thousands of homes, parks and recreation
areas. The county's own Zoning Ordinance states, "The principal
purpose of this zoning district is to provide for heavy industrial
uses in locations which are suitable and appropriate, taking into
consideration land uses on adjacent or nearby properties." I
would argue that this facility is neither suitable nor appropriate for
the nearby properties, which are single family, middle class
homes. These types of facilities do not belong so close to homes
because they cause issues with pests, dust, odor, increased
truck traffic (pollution), potential for ground/water contamination

and increased fire hazards. I understand the need for such
facilities, but they do not belong so close to homes and
recreation sites. I ask you please, do not approve this facility at
its proposed location. Thank you for your consideration.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I live at 13148 W Tether Trail and recently learned about the
proposed zoning change for the lot at El Mirage and the 303 to
Heavy Industrial so Republic Services can locate a waste facility
at that location. I and my family are vehemently against this
proposal because it will bring unwelcome traffic to an already
congested area, place an eyesore in a high traffic area, drive
down housing prices, and lets not forget the worse part create a
garbage dump in our back yard. This is an unacceptable situation
as we bought our house here to specifically avoid living near
such things.
We did not move to the 'Scottsdale of the West Valley' so we
could have our home near a waste facility of any kind. Lets look

at the facts though:
According to the US Census the zip code 85383, Where this
facility will be located has one of the highest median income
levels by household and home values in the State. Do you think
that will be maintained after building this facility? I don't as a
2005 paper showed that location of waste facilities drop property
values by 12.5%
(https://aese.psu.edu/nercrd/publications/rdp/rdp27.pdf). This
affect is noticed for a wide area surrounding the facility.
The additional traffic will also be a concern as that area has
several bottle necks due to unfinished roadways and will further
suffer from locating a heavy industrial project there which will not
only see higher traffic and disruption from the construction efforts
but also from normal operations once the plant is open.
I also have to note the extremely slippery slope that has occurred
with multiple permits being filed to move the project from Happy
Valley and 115th to only one mile away across the 303 and
closer to my home and the current development in this area! Why
did they move closer to more homes?
We do not want a heavy industrial zone for a waste management
facility here. This is not why we bought homes here.

Commission Hearing
Date
January 27, 2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I am writing in hopes to appeal the passing of the zone change to
allow the building of the WestWing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station. I have many reasons to oppose the building of
this site, the most important being that my home is located in one
of the many nearby communities of the proposed building and
will therefore have a direct negative effect on mine and my
family's daily lives.
I do not think that the transfer station is a good idea in this
location. Not only is the transfer station location far too close to
homes (just across the 303), but rezoning to heavy industrial is
not what this area or the residents need. The commissioners
ignored thousand of homeowners' and residents' concerns. In the
initial hearing, it was brought up that odors and pests would only

be controlled for 5 years, yet the station will be here long after
that. This is not a benefit to the community--especially the many
who fall in the boundaries of the county island and don't have
city-run waste management services that would use this facility.
From what I have looked into, an environmental study has not
been done.

Z2021090 – WestWing Recycling and Transfer Station
Planning & Zoning
Commission Hearing
Date
January 27, 2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I am writing in hopes to appeal the passing of the zone change to
allow the building of the WestWing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station. I have many reasons to oppose the building of
this site, the most important being that my home is located in one
of the many nearby communities of the proposed building and
will therefore have a direct negative effect on mine and my
family's daily lives.
I do not think that the transfer station is a good idea in this
location. Not only is the transfer station location far too close to
homes (just across the 303), but rezoning to heavy industrial is
not what this area or the residents need. The commissioners
ignored thousand of homeowners' and residents' concerns. In the
initial hearing, it was brought up that odors and pests would only

be controlled for 5 years, yet the station will be here long after
that. This is not a benefit to the community--especially the many
who fall in the boundaries of the county island and don't have
city-run waste management services that would use this facility.
From what I have looked into, an environmental study has not
been done.

A waste transfer station being placed within a 1/2 mile of an

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Rezoning this area from IND-2 IUPD to IND-3 IUPD makes
absolutely no sense considering the number of homes within
close proximity of it and it certainly does not make any
improvements to the area. Some homes are within 1 mile of it,
and certainly many are within 2 miles. 
Republic Services used a couple deceptive tactics I think such as
presenting a letter from the Surprise, AZ Mayor in which he
heartily endorses this change, but the Surprise City Limits are
many miles away from it and wouldn't impact that city at all. This
area had over 7,000 residents against it. I sincerely hope you'll
reconsider the commission's bad decision.

Commission
Hearing
Date

Reason for
the Appeal
of the
Subject
Case
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to you as a concerned citizen who lives near the proposed waste
transfer station on SR-303 and El Mirage Road in the above referenced zoning
application. Please add this correspondence to the official record.
The Zoning Application under consideration requests a significant increase in

the intensity of land use with a zoning change from IND-2 to IND-3. The purpose
of this application is to allow for a Waste Transfer Station to operate at this
location. The proposed site is near SR-303 and El Mirage Road which is less
than a mile away from a predominantly residential area.
I stand with the thousands of residents in our community who strongly OPPOSE
this zoning change. The following arguments support this opposition.
Health. This community is considered a haven for the elderly, with the 65+ age
group comprising 75.9% of its population.1 One of the problems associated with
a Waste Transfer Station is that it attracts vectors (e.g. rodents and
cockroaches), which would inadvertently expose an already health-
compromised population and risk contracting more serious illnesses. In addition,
transfer stations can potentially produce leachate,2 a toxic substance known to
cause severe medical problems. Any measures that would be in place to
address this problem, unfortunately, could never really claim infallibility.
Respiratory illnesses, for example, have been linked to high concentrations of
polluting facilities near residential areas. 3 A study by Godri, et al. concluded
that exposure to particulate matter from waste transfer stations resulted in
serious cardiorespiratory illnesses.4 A recent study of air pollution around waste
transfer station showed significant concentration of formaldehyde (carcinogen)
and nitric oxide (respiratory irritant).5
Quality of Life. Regardless of the protocols used by waste transfer station to
control noise, smell (n.b. odors usually increase in warm weather), and litter, the
fact remains that storage (albeit temporary) and hauling garbage into this area
creates unlimited opportunities for litter and debris to pollute the communities
adjacent to this facility. “Overburdening a community with negative impact
facilities can create health, environmental, and quality of living concerns.”6
Nuisance odors have been found to produce headaches and nausea, and
aggravate respiratory conditions.7 With the COVID pandemic still raging, the
state of Arizona has reported more than 1.2 million cases and over 22,000
deaths.8 Furthermore, the proposed five-acre waste transfer station translates
into receiving roughly 3,630 tons of waste per day.9 Exposing respiratory-
compromised residents to this level of environmental toxicity puts the
community at great risk.
Economic implications. The Republic claims that there would be no reduction in
property values. The EPA cites concern for siting waste transfer stations in
areas in close “proximity to schools, churches, recreation sites, and residences.”
9 “It can also have a negative economic impact by lowering property values and
hindering community revitalization plans. These are just a few of the reasons
environmental justice concerns need to be addressed when selecting a site for a
waste transfer station.” 8 With this proposed transfer station very visibly located
in a densely populated area, it would not take much to dissuade any potential
business/investors, and homebuyers, which would eventually result in the
depreciation of property values and halt any planned improvements in the area.
A study by Anstine in 2003 concluded that, “noticeable disamenities are
capitalized into housing values.” 10 Another study, “suggest that all classes of
waste sites affect real estate prices …” 11 A more recent study by Zhang et al.
reported a 3.8% drop in housing market value in properties within 3 kilometers
of a waste transfer station. 12 A similar study by Eshet et al. reported decline in

property values within 2.8 kilometers. 13 Based on these studies, several
communities that surround the proposed site would suffer financial loss.
Environmental Safety. The proximity of the proposed waste transfer station site
to the Westwing substation in the Northwest Valley is a major concern due to
potential fires. The Westwing substation suffered a catastrophic fire in 2004.14
As recently as June 2021, a massive recycling yard fire was reported in
Phoenix.15 The average incidence of fires in waste and recycling facilities in the
US and Canada averaged 318 per year from 2016 to 2020. In a hot and dry
environment like Arizona, allowing a massive waste transfer station near the
Westwing substation would be detrimental to the environment and its people.
Considering the overwhelming opposition from the residents that will be
impacted by this proposed transfer station, I would respectfully request that you
deny this request for rezoning. Furthermore, I would recommend establishing
odor control laws and ordinances specific to waste transfer stations and landfills
for Maricopa County.

Planning & Zoning
Commission Hearing
Date
01/27/2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
rezone for the building of the Westwing Recycling and Waste
Transfer Station, on January 27, 2022, therefore, disregarding
nearly 7000 residents’ voices of opposition.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment to the
passing of the zone change to allow the building of the WestWing
Recycling and Waste Transfer Station. I have many reasons to
oppose the building of this site, the most important being that my
home is located in one of the many nearby communities of the
proposed building and will therefore have a direct negative effect
on mine and my family's daily lives.

Our voices have spoken, not only once, but twice, against this
issue and should be taken seriously. You are the elected official
who represents the voice of all hardworking homeowners who
were established in these communities well before Republic
Services tried to pass this facility. Please listen to us.
Additionally, please remember that you stated you wanted
Republic Services to look for a site far away from established
communities. Therefore, please stand your ground and vote no
and encourage your fellow board members to do the same.
Thank you for your time and for supporting your constituents.

of the Subject Case
Lack of an Environmental study. I feel that it is very dangerous to
put in a transfer station within one mile of a community inhabited
mostly by senior citizens who not only will get sick from the toxic
waste but also from the chemicals which will be used to try to
mask the smell. If this goes through, it will be a field day for
attorneys who will sue the city, county and anyone else for
allowing this to go through when a lot of people get sick and
possibly die from cancer. (note the recent lawsuits for the weed
killer) If an environmental impact study was obtained where is it?

Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I thoroughly oppose the building of the waste transfer station at
El Mirage and 303. I am a resident of the Village of Vistancia and
this waste station will be built just a couple miles from my home.
The increased traffic volume, noise and air pollution to my area
and surrounding areas, the potential for environment damage,
the smell and the potential for increased vermin all make putting
this waste station so close to residential neighborhoods a terrible
idea. As if these were not reason enough, there are many studies
that the building of one of these brings down property values in
the area of the waste station. There is so much open land
available, not near huge residential areas where this could go.
Please reconsider this and move this transfer station elsewhere.

This Station will be within a mile of MY HOME in Corta Bella. I
am Appealing this case as Following:
My greatest concerned that the smell of a dump will significantly
impact our lives! We live in an Upscale neighborhood and have
paid premium property taxes and home prices and now you think
we should have rodents and then coyote eating the rodents in
our Backyards and Front yards! Additionally the day and night
dump truck noise on 303, literally endless of deliveries a day! 
It appears that NO Environmental Impact Study done. The
proposed station will certainly IMPACT OUR INVIRONMENT. 
Lack of a study WILL result in future law suits against the both
the company and the CITY. And even might there had been- It

wasn't enough...Residents were NEVER polled or considered

It looks as if there was no Environmental Impact Study run and
since the station will certainly impact our environment. The entire

station will have on not just Corte Bella but the entire area.
Coyotes and rodents will also increase in the area. This is not
good and I would imagine the health issues this could cause
could be many.
Please do your job and run environmental tests!! That is the least
you could do.

I appeal to this decision as no questions were asked of republic
from the commissioners. Several speakers were denied enough
time to discuss their concerns and pictures were provided from
residents and advised to stick with the current location however
republic was allowed to show other locations for their benefit.
Republic told me they had looked at over 40 locations but never
answer if any of those were further away from homes. Huge
concern over the 5 year timeline to mitigate odor and pest page
22 letter O. Also how big of a fire risk is it when multiple transfer
stations fires have occurred in the valley and this will back up to
substation? Finally these items are coming from other areas
republic doesn’t service any of our residents. Thank you.

Case
Maricopa County and Planning Development
301 West Jefferson Street 
Phoenix, AZ 85003
RE: Case # Z2021090, Official Notice of Opposition to Rezoning
To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen who lives near the proposed waste
transfer station on SR-303 and El Mirage Road in the above referenced zoning
application. Please add this correspondence to the official record.
The Zoning Application under consideration requests a significant increase in
the intensity of land use with a zoning change from IND-2 to IND-3. The purpose
of this application is to allow for a Waste Transfer Station to operate at this
location. The proposed site is near SR-303 and El Mirage Road which is less
than a mile away from a predominantly residential area.
I stand with the thousands of residents in our community who strongly OPPOSE
this zoning change. The following arguments support this opposition.
Health. This community is considered a haven for the elderly, with the 65+ age
group comprising 75.9% of its population.1 One of the problems associated with
a Waste Transfer Station is that it attracts vectors (e.g. rodents and
cockroaches), which would inadvertently expose an already health-
compromised population and risk contracting more serious illnesses. In addition,
transfer stations can potentially produce leachate,2 a toxic substance known to
cause severe medical problems. Any measures that would be in place to
address this problem, unfortunately, could never really claim infallibility.
Respiratory illnesses, for example, have been linked to high concentrations of
polluting facilities near residential areas. 3 A study by Godri, et al. concluded
that exposure to particulate matter from waste transfer stations resulted in
serious cardiorespiratory illnesses.4 A recent study of air pollution around waste
transfer station showed significant concentration of formaldehyde (carcinogen)
and nitric oxide (respiratory irritant).5
Quality of Life. Regardless of the protocols used by waste transfer station to
control noise, smell (n.b. odors usually increase in warm weather), and litter, the
fact remains that storage (albeit temporary) and hauling garbage into this area
creates unlimited opportunities for litter and debris to pollute the communities
adjacent to this facility. “Overburdening a community with negative impact
facilities can create health, environmental, and quality of living concerns.”6
Nuisance odors have been found to produce headaches and nausea, and
aggravate respiratory conditions.7 With the COVID pandemic still raging, the
state of Arizona has reported more than 1.2 million cases and over 22,000
deaths.8 Furthermore, the proposed five-acre waste transfer station translates
into receiving roughly 3,630 tons of waste per day.9 Exposing respiratory-
compromised residents to this level of environmental toxicity puts the
community at great risk.
Economic implications. The Republic claims that there would be no reduction in
property values. The EPA cites concern for siting waste transfer stations in
areas in close “proximity to schools, churches, recreation sites, and residences.”
9 “It can also have a negative economic impact by lowering property values and
hindering community revitalization plans. These are just a few of the reasons
environmental justice concerns need to be addressed when selecting a site for a
waste transfer station.” 8 With this proposed transfer station very visibly located
in a densely populated area, it would not take much to dissuade any potential
business/investors, and homebuyers, which would eventually result in the
depreciation of property values and halt any planned improvements in the area.

A study by Anstine in 2003 concluded that, “noticeable disamenities are
capitalized into housing values.” 10 Another study, “suggest that all classes of
waste sites affect real estate prices …” 11 A more recent study by Zhang et al.
reported a 3.8% drop in housing market value in properties within 3 kilometers
of a waste transfer station. 12 A similar study by Eshet et al. reported decline in
property values within 2.8 kilometers. 13 Based on these studies, several
communities that surround the proposed site would suffer financial loss.
Environmental Safety. The proximity of the proposed waste transfer station site
to the Westwing substation in the Northwest Valley is a major concern due to
potential fires. The Westwing substation suffered a catastrophic fire in 2004.14
As recently as June 2021, a massive recycling yard fire was reported in
Phoenix.15 The average incidence of fires in waste and recycling facilities in the
US and Canada averaged 318 per year from 2016 to 2020. In a hot and dry
environment like Arizona, allowing a massive waste transfer station near the
Westwing substation would be detrimental to the environment and its people.
Considering the overwhelming opposition from the residents that will be
impacted by this proposed transfer station, I would respectfully request that you
deny this request for rezoning. Furthermore, I would recommend establishing
odor control laws and ordinances specific to waste transfer stations and landfills
for Maricopa County.

To whom it may concerns,
I would like to express my concerns and opposition to this Zoning change (Zoning reference
case #Z2021090)
 
There will be many impacts to local surrounding areas if this is rezoned: diminished home
values, loud noise, noxious odors, environmental impacts, an increase in the bird, bug, and
rodent population, as well as blown-out trash littering the side of all the roads, not to mention
the proposed site is on a flood plain and up the hill from our drinking water aquifer recharge
station.
There will be an increase in traffic, especially heavy-duty truck traffic and a huge number of
pick-up trucks with open trailers, which will increase the occurrence of vehicle crashes.
 
All these additional vehicles will be using our narrow, twisty, two-lane residential road that is
not engineered for the heavy-duty truck traffic weight or the additional vehicle volume. This
area is already congested and these additional vehicles will make it near impossible to get in
and out through our main egress route for our community. Not to mention the traffic
nightmare we already have at that particular intersection where the community has coined
115th Avenue and Happy Valley Road the “Death Intersection,” due to the frequency of
vehicle crashes that occur.

Health Effects of Residence Near Hazardous Waste Landfill Sites: A Review
of Epidemiologic Literature
Martine Vrijheid
Environmental Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,
London, United Kingdom
This review evaluates current epidemiologic literature on health effects in relation to residence
near landfill sites. Increases in risk of adverse health effects (low birth weight, birth defects, certain
types of cancers) have been reported near individual landfill sites and in some multisite studies,
and although biases and confounding factors cannot be excluded as explanations for these
findings, they may indicate real risks associated with residence near certain landfill sites. A general
weakness in the reviewed studies is the lack of direct exposure measurement. An increased
prevalence of self-reported health symptoms such as fatigue, sleepiness, and headaches among
residents near waste sites has consistently been reported in more than 10 of the reviewed papers.
It is difficult to conclude whether these symptoms are an effect of direct toxicologic action of
chemicals present in waste sites, an effect of stress and fears related to the waste site, or an
effect of reporting bias. Although a substantial number of studies have been conducted, risks to
health from landfill sites are hard to quantify. There is insufficient exposure information and effects
of low-level environmental exposure in the general population are by their nature difficult to
establish. More interdisciplinary research can improve levels of knowledge on risks to human
health of waste disposal in landfill sites. Research needs include epidemiologic and toxicologic
studies on individual chemicals and chemical mixtures, well-designed single- and multisite landfill
studies, development of biomarkers, and research on risk perception and sociologic determinants
of ill health. Key words: epidemiology, hazardous waste, health effects, landfill, residence, review.
- Environ Health Perspect 1 08(suppl 1):101-112 (2000).
http.//ehpnetl.niehs.nih.gov/docs/2000/suppl-1/101-1 12vrijheid/abstract.html
The disposal of wastes in landfill sites has
increasingly caused concern about possible
adverse health effects for populations living
nearby, particularly in relation to those sites
where hazardous waste is dumped. Studies
on the health effects of landfill sites have
been carried out mainly in North America
and existing reviews focus entirely on this lit-
erature (1,2). Recent publications of large
studies both in and outside North America
warrant an update of evidence presented in
previous reviews. Up-to-date knowledge
about epidemiologic evidence for potential
human health effects of landfill sites is
important for those deciding on regulation of
sites, their siting and remediation, and for
those whose task it is to respond to concerns
from the public in a satisfactory way.
We intend to present a critical discussion
of all major epidemiologic studies published
since 1980 on health effects related to resi-
dence near landfill sites in North America,
Europe, and elsewhere. Special attention is
paid to recent studies and studies outside the
United States that have not been included in
previous reviews.
Methods
Throughout this review the term landfill is
used for any controlled or uncontrolled dis-
posal of waste to land. Relevant papers were
found through computerized literature
searches
on MEDLINE (MEDLINE
Database, National Library of Medicine,
Bethesda, MD) (www.biomednet.com) and
BIDS Databases, Joint Information Systems
Committee, University of Bath, Bath, UK
(www.bids.ac.uk) from 1980 through to
1998 using keywords "landfill" and "haz-
ardous waste site." In addition, articles were
traced through references listed in previous
reviews. All papers found in this manner
that studied health effects in residents near
waste landfill sites and that were published
in journals available through the British
Library and libraries of the University of
London were included in this review. A few
papers referred to in previous reviews could
not be traced because they were published in
local journals
in the United States.
Published reports of recent studies that have
not yet appeared in peer-reviewed journals
have been included in the review. A few
abstracts of European studies have been
included, although full research papers of
these studies have not been published
because they reflect growing concerns about
landfill in Europe. A total of 50 papers,
reports, and abstracts are reviewed in this
article. Investigations of the health risks to
those employed in the handling, transport,
clean-up, or maintenance of substances at
landfill sites are very scarce and have not
been included in this review. Many chemi-
cals or groups of chemicals potentially pre-
sent in landfill sites, including organic
solvents, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
and heavy metals, have shown adverse effects
on human health or in animal experiments.
A discussion of findings from either epi-
demiologic or toxicologic research on health
effects related to specific chemicals is beyond
the scope of this review.
Epidemiologic Studies on
Health Effects of Landfill Sites
The majority of studies evaluating possible
health effects in human populations living
near landfill sites investigate communities
near one specific waste disposal site (single-
site studies), frequently in response to con-
cerns from the public about reported
contamination from the site or reported
clusters of disease. A small number of studies
have addressed the risks of living near waste
sites, independent of whether the sites
caused concern, by a priori specifying a
number of sites for study. These will be
referred to as multisite studies. Single- and
multisite studies have different method-
ologic problems and are therefore discussed
separately in this paper. Most individual
studies are discussed in detail in this article.
Where appropriate due to common method-
ologic issues (e.g., in studies of self-reported
health outcomes and clusters of disease) or
due to a common landfill site of concern
(e.g., in the Love Canal studies and Santa
Clara County studies), less emphasis was put
on individual studies and more on common
issues. Studies included in the review are
summarized in Table 1 (single-site studies)
and Table 2 (multisite studies). Discussion
of individual single- and multisite studies is
preceded by a discussion of issues common
to the interpretation of all landfill studies.

Issues Common to the Interpretation
of landfill Studies
A general problem in epidemiologic studies of
landfill sites, whether studying single or mul-
tiple sites, is that there is insufficient informa-
tion regarding potential human exposures
from landfill sites. Although landfill sites are
numerous and widespread, very few have
been evaluated with respect to both the types
of chemicals they contain and the extent to
which they may be releasing chemicals. Most
such work has been conducted in the United
States under the Superfund program (3). In
other countries, information is largely lack-
ing. Moreover, although chemicals have been
found to migrate off site at a number of sites
that have been thoroughly investigated (2),
we know very little about the extent to which
residents living near a site are exposed to these
chemicals. A few studies that have attempted
to measure certain chemicals in blood and
urine of populations near waste sites have
generally not found increased levels of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) (4), mercury
(5), or PCBs (6). Because knowledge of
whether and to what extent substances from
waste sites reach the human population is still
largely lacking, and because resources are
rarely available to carry out extensive expo-
sure measurements or modeling, epidemio-
logic studies have based the assessment of
exposure to landfills mainly on surrogate
measures such as residence in an area close to
a waste site or distance of residence from a
waste site. The use of such surrogate, indirect
exposure measurements can lead to misclassi-
fication of exposure which, if not different for
diseased and nondiseased persons, will
decrease the sensitivity of the study to find a
true effect.
In addition to being hampered by
insufficient exposure data, the study of land-
fill exposures is complicated by the fact that
if residential populations are exposed to
chemicals from landfill sites, it will generally
be to low doses of mixtures of chemicals over
long periods of time. Associations with such
low-level environmental exposures in the
general population are by their nature hard
to establish. Low-dose exposures are gener-
ally expected to generate small increases in
relative risk that will be difficult to distin-
guish from noise effects introduced by
confounding factors and biases.
In most of the landfill studies reviewed in
this article, residents near waste sites are stud-
ied without knowledge of the exact route(s)
of exposure to chemicals from the site.
Migration of hazardous substances into
groundwater is often an important envuron-
mental concern in relation to landfill sites,
which may represent a public health problem,
especially when a site is located near aquifers
supplying public drinking water. However, in
many situations the drinking water supply of
residents near waste sites does not originate

HEALTH EFFECTS OF LANDFILL SITES
from the local area. For people living in the
vicinity of these sites, other routes of exposure
may be of more concern. Landfill sites may be
a source of airborne chemical contamination
via the off-site migration of gases and via par-
ticles and chemicals adhered to dust, espe-
cially during the period of active operation of
the site. Very little is known about the likeli-
hood of air exposure from landfill sites
through landfill gases or dust. At some of the
sites described below, low levels of volatile
organic chemicals have been detected in
indoor air of homes near landfill sites (7-13),
in outdoor air in areas surrounding sites
(14-20) or in on-site landfill gas (21). Other
possible routes of exposure include contami-
nation of soil, ground, and surface water,
which may lead to direct contact or pollution
of indoor air in the case of evaporation of
VOCs into basements of nearby houses.
Contamination via the food chain may some-
times be of concern for nearby residents in
the case of consumption of home-grown veg-
etables. Drinking water is a possible route of
exposure only if water for domestic use is
locally extracted. If this is the case, other
domestic water uses (bathing, washing) may
also lead to exposure via inhalation of
evaporated VOCs and/or direct contact (13).
Some issues related to specific health
outcomes should be noted in both single- and
multisite studies. A general problem in studies
of cancer incidence is the long latency period
between exposure and clinical manifestation
of the cancer. Studies may not always allow
for a long enough latency period, which
reduces their power to pick up long-term
effects. Moreover, because of the long latency
period, a considerable number of people may
have migrated into or out of the exposed areas
between time of exposure and time of diagno-
sis, which will lead to misclassification of
exposures. Studies of chromosome changes
(chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid
exchanges) are undertaken with the assump-
tion that such changes are related to the
mechanisms underlying cancer and possibly
birth defects. Chromosomal changes are stud-
ied as biomarkers of early response or effect of
exposure to mutagenic and carcinogenic
chemicals. Sorsa et al. (22) point out that the-
oretically it is reasonable to assume that chro-
mosome damage is directly related to cancer
etiology, but the number of agents clearly
shown to induce such damage in humans is
still limited. Increased frequencies of chromo-
some changes may indicate exposure to muta-
gens and carcinogens, but it is not clear at
present how well they predict cancer risk. Low
birth weight is thought to be relatively sensi-
tive to effects of chemical exposures (23). It is
also relatively easy to collect accurate informa-
tion on birth weight from birth certificates.
However, a large number of risk factors are
associated with low birth weight (including
smoking, socioeconomic status, nutritional
factors, parental height) (24), and these may
act as confounding factors, giving biased esti-
mates of association with residence close to a
site. Birth defects have fewer established risk
factors than other reproductive outcomes such
as low birth weight, and studies of birth
defects may therefore be less affected by con-
founding factors, although unknown risk fac-
tors could still play a confounding role. Also,
birth defects represent an etiologically very
heterogeneous set of conditions; analyses of
the total malformation rate (all defects com-
bined) have the advantage of larger numbers
but may not be sensitive enough to pick up
increases in risk of specific defects. The group-
ing ofmalformations into groups that are etio-
logically similar is difficult because of lack of
knowledge on causes of specific defects.
Grouping therefore always entails a compro-
mise between large enough numbers and
etiologic specificity.
Single-Site Studies
The investigation of single landfill sites has
been important as a response to community
concerns; many of the single-site studies dis-
cussed below are prompted by public con-
cerns, often under considerable political
pressure. This means that they are prone to
recall and reporting biases that may weaken
the investigations and partly explain increases
in reported health outcomes. Single-site
studies have examined a vast range of possi-
ble health outcomes, often without a specific
disease hypothesis being proposed a priori.
Such "fishing expeditions" are thought to be
of less scientific value than studies that start
with a clear hypothesis (1). Including these
fishing expeditions in evaluating the consis-
tency of findings across multiple studies is
important nevertheless when assessing
evidence for health risks.
A less avoidable problem in single-site
studies is that the size of populations living
near waste sites generally is small and, espe-
cially when the outcome is a rare disease,
this can seriously limit the statistical power
of an investigation.
Single-site studies discussed in this
section are grouped into those examining
hard end points such as cancer and reproduc-
tive outcomes, those studying self-reported
health outcomes and symptoms, those fol-
lowing up reported clusters of disease near
landfill sites with geographic comparisons of
disease rates, and those specifically investigat-
ing the contamination of well water used for
drinking or other domestic uses in relation to
health effects. These last studies were dis-
cussed separately to determine whether con-
clusions can be drawn about specific
pathways of exposure.
Studies of cancers, reproductive out-
comes, and chromosomal damage. Large
quantities of toxic materials (residues from
pesticide production) were dumped at the
landfill of Love Canal, New York State, dur-
ing the 1930s and 1940s, followed by the
building of houses and a school on and
around the landfill in the 1950s. By 1977 the
site was leaking and chemicals were detected
in neighborhood creeks, sewers, soil, and
indoor air of houses. This led to one of the
most widely known and publicized incidents
of environmental pollution from landfill.
Exposure of Love Canal residents, although
not well understood, may have occurred via
inhalation of volatile chemicals in home air or
via direct contact with soil or surface water
(10). The drinking water supply was not con-
taminated. Chemicals detected at Love Canal
were primarily organic solvents, chlorinated
hydrocarbons and acids, including benzene,
vinyl chloride, PCBs, dioxin, toluene,
trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene.
Several studies were conducted to detect
whether Love Canal residents suffered adverse
health effects.
Janerich et al. (7) compared cancer
incidence for the Love Canal area with data
for the entire state from 1955 to 1977 and
found no increase in cancer rates at Love
Canal for any organ site. This included
leukemia, lymphoma, and liver cancer, which
were thought to be the cancers most likely to
result from exposures to the chemicals found
at the site. The study is limited in that no
information was available on confounding
factors such as socioeconomic status and
smoking. Subsequently, Heath et al. (8) com-
pared the frequencies of chromosome changes
(sister chromatid exchanges and chromoso-
mal aberrations) in residents who lived in the
first ring of houses adjacent to Love Canal in
1978 with those of control persons from
socioeconomically similar census tracts. No
differences in frequencies of chromosome
damage were found. Chromosome changes
were measured in 1981 and 1982, a few years
after people were evacuated from the first ring
of houses and therefore were no longer
exposed. The authors point out that chromo-
some damage may be a reversible effect,
which may explain the negative findings.
Infants and children have been the subject
of other Love Canal studies. A cross-sectional
study (9) reported an increased prevalence of
seizures, learning problems, hyperactivity, eye
irritation, skin rashes, abdominal pain, and
incontinence in children living close to the
Love Canal site compared to controls from
other areas, as reported by the parents of the
children. It has been noted in previous
reviews (1,25) that this study was conducted
in 1980, 2 years after the residents of Love
Canal had become aware of the hazardous

waste problem, when media and public
interest were high, and people were being
evacuated. This makes it likely that the results
were biased by differential reporting of health
problems. However, a similar population of
children (spending 75% or more of their
childhood in the Love Canal area) had signifi-
cantly shorter stature for their age than con-
trol children after allowing for factors such as
birth weight, socioeconomic status, and
parental height (10). Vianna and Polan (11)
found an excess of low birth weights (less
than 2500 g) during the period of active
dumping (1940-1953) in areas of Love Canal
where exposure had been highest. Rates of
low birth weight between 1960 and 1978
after the site had been closed were compara-
ble to those in upstate New York as a whole.
It is not clear whether exposure from Love
Canal was highest during the active dumping
period or during the period after the site was
closed, when the building of houses near the
site increased and the landfill was leaking. A
study by Goldman et al. (12) reported a
3-fold risk of low birth weight for children
exposed during gestational life to the Love
Canal area compared to that for control chil-
dren born elsewhere from 1965 to 1978.
Data were analyzed separately for homeown-
ers and renters so that groups of similar
socioeconomic status were compared, and
after allowing for confounding factors, the
risk of low birth weight was significantly
increased for homeowners only. This finding
is difficult to interpret because there are no
strong reasons to believe that homeowners
would be more susceptible than renters to the
effects of toxic chemicals. In the same study
an increased risk of birth defects was observed
for both homeowners and renters. Infor-
mation on birth defects relied mainly on
reports from parents. Some recall bias can
therefore be suspected, in particular for
defects of lesser severity, but this is unlikely to
account for the entire association found for
major birth defects.
Berry and Bove (26) studied birth weight
at the Lipari Landfill in New Jersey, a site for
municipal and industrial waste. Leachate
from the site migrated into nearby streams
and a lake adjacent to a residential area.
Inhalation of volatile chemicals emitted from
the landfill and contaminated waters was
thought to be the most important exposure
pathway. The site closed in 1971 after com-
plaints of residents, but the heaviest pollu-
tion was estimated to have occurred during
the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. The study
found a convincing increase in proportion of
low birth weight babies (< 2500 g) and a
lower average birth weight in the population
living closest (within a radius of 1 km) to the
landfill in the time period when potential for
exposure was thought to be greatest
(1971-1975) compared to these factors in a
control population. Although information
on some confounding variables such as
smoking, alcohol consumption, and socio-
economic status was not available, mothers
in the exposed area were more highly edu-
cated and therefore appeared to be of higher
socioeconomic status. One would expect
higher birth weights in areas of higher
socioeconomic status, so as the authors point
out, confounding by socioeconomic status
does not explain the lower birth weights
found. In time periods before and after heavy
dumping and off-site pollution, birth weights
were higher in the area closer to the site than
in the control area, which supports the
hypothesis that pollution from the waste site
may have been related to low birth weights
in the community close to the site.
A range of reproductive effects including
low birth weight was studied around the
large BKK hazardous waste disposal site in
Los Angeles County, California (14), after
previous investigations of vital records found
that trends in low birth weight and neonatal
deaths corresponded closely with times and
quantities of dumping at the landfill. Results
for the whole study period showed no
increase in adverse reproductive effects, but
during the period of heaviest dumping, birth
weights were significantly lower in exposed
areas than in control areas using odor com-
plaint frequency zones to classify exposure.
All results were adjusted for education,
income, and race. The decrease in mean
birth weight found in the high-odor com-
plaint zone was small (59 g) compared to
that in the Lipari Landfill study (192 g) and
was less than a third of birth-weight reduc-
tions caused by smoking during pregnancy
(26). Odor complaint frequency zones cor-
responded better with vinyl chloride moni-
toring data and meteorology around the site
than did census tract areas or distance-based
(< 0.7 miles) exposure zones, and this was
therefore thought to be the most accurate
method for classifying exposure. Using cen-
sus tract or distance-based exposure zones,
smaller decreases in mean birth weight were
found (35.2 g, p = 0.02 and 20.4 g, p =
0.25, respectively).
Miron Quarry, a large (the third largest in
North America) municipal solid waste site in
Montreal, Quebec has prompted studies on
both reproductive outcomes (low birth
weight and preterm births) (27) and cancers
(21). Gas from the site was the main environ-
mental and health concern and a range of
VOCs, including a number of recognized or
suspected human carcinogens, had been
detected in the gas. An excess of 20% in low
birth weight was found among babies of
mothers who were living in the high-exposure
area adjacent to the landfill at the time of
delivery, taking account of confounding
factors such as education and age of the
mother. No excess was found in the low-
exposure zone compared to a control area.
Exposure zones were based on proximity to
the site and accounted for the direction of
dominant winds. Control areas were selected
that were similar to exposure areas on a num-
ber of sociodemographic variables so as to
limit the potential for confounding. The
cancer study used the same exposure zones
and control areas and increases were found in
incidences of cancers of the stomach, liver,
prostate, and lung for men, and stomach and
cervix/uterus for women. Incidences of can-
cers of other organ sites were not increased in
the exposed areas. Age and sex were the only
confounders that could be controlled for
directly and the authors admit that area
matching for sociodemographic factors was
based on fairly broad zones. The landfill
started operation in 1968 and cancer inci-
dence was studied between 1981 and 1988,
which allowed a maximum latency of only 20
years among those residents in the area
throughout the period.
In Mellery, Belgium, gases containing a
complex mixture of VOCs escaped when the
clay seal of a landfill site cracked. Because
some of the detected chemicals were known
mutagens and/or carcinogens, damage to
chromosomes was studied and an increase in
chromosome damage (sister chromatid
exchanges) was found among Mellery resi-
dents but not in unexposed subjects in sub-
groups of both smokers and nonsmokers
(15). In children 8-15 years of age, a more
marked difference was found between
exposed and unexposed groups than among
adults. The findings indicated exposures simi-
lar to those of occupationally exposed popula-
tions. The adult unexposed comparison
subjects were recruited from a volunteer
blood donor list and may therefore have com-
prised a group with risk behavior and expo-
sure to possible risk factors for chromosome
damage different from those of the general
population. They also reported less occupa-
tional exposure than the Mellery inhabitants.
It is unclear how occupational exposure was
defined and results have not been adjusted for
it. A follow-up study after site remediation
reduced the concentration of the atmospheric
pollutants to background levels reported that
chromosomal damages in Mellery children
had returned to background levels and were
no longer different from those for unexposed
populations (28).
At the Drake Superfund Site, an industrial
chemical dump in Pennsylvania, widespread
on- and off-site contamination ofgroundwater,
soil, and surface water with organic (benzene,
chlorinated benzene, phthalates) and inorganic
(arsenic, mercury) compounds prompted a

HEALTH EFFECTS OF LANDFILL SITES
cancer mortality and birth defects study (29)
and a community health survey (16). Air mon-
itoring near the site identified a small number
of organic compounds, but the main exposure
route was thought to be direct contact with sur-
face waters and soil in recreational areas near
the site. Budnick et al. (29) found an increase
in mortality from bladder cancer (cancer of pri-
mary a priori concern because of aromatic
amines detected on and off site) in the male
population of one of the counties surrounding
the waste site compared to average mortality
rates in the entire state and the United States.
Bladder cancer in females did not show such an
effect. The authors point out that an occupa-
tional effect for males working in the Drake
chemical plant may explain the fact that the
association was found in men only. No excess
in risk of birth defects was found. The subse-
quent health survey (16) found increased
reporting ofsleepiness and skin problems in the
exposed community and conduded that it was
difficult to say whether toxic chemicals from
the site, overreporting of symptoms by the
exposed community (reporting bias), or other
factors such as stress and occupational exposure
caused these symptoms.
Studies ofself-reported health symptoms.
A number of other community health surveys
have investigated a wide range of health prob-
lems, including respiratory symptoms; irrita-
tion of skin, nose, and eyes; gastrointestinal
problems; fatigue; headaches; psychological
disorders; and allergies. These studies have
been conducted in response to concerns from
the public, often triggered by smells and odors
from the sites. In a number of studies, self-
reported health problems were increased in
exposed populations (people living close to the
waste sites) compared to control populations
[Drake Superfund
Site (16); Lowell,
Massachusetts (17); Hamilton, Ontario (30);
Stringfellow, California (31); Queensland,
Australia (32); McColl waste site, California
(18); Houston, Texas (33); Harris County,
Texas (34)] (see Table 1 for details). The
majority of these health surveys rely on resi-
dents reporting symptoms and diseases
through questionnaires or interviews. The
possibility exists that higher reporting rates of
symptoms in exposed areas are at least partly
explained by reporting and/or recall biases.
From a public health point of view, the find-
ings of high symptom reporting, whether or
not due to differential self-reporting, may
indicate the impact that stress and concerns
related to landfill can have on ill health and/or
perceived ill health. In the survey by Ozonoff
et al. (17), residents who indicated they were
worried about neighborhood pollution
reported more symptoms than those who were
not worried, both in the exposed and the con-
trol area. Although this does not eliminate the
possibility of an effect of toxic chemicals from
the site, it suggests that stress and/or recall bias
may have been responsible for the findings.
Miller and McGeehin (34) and Dunne et al.
(32) found increased symptom prevalence
only in residents who indicated they were
worried about, or aware of, an environmental
problem in their neighborhood. The study by
Lipscomb et al. (18) showed a 2-fold risk in
most symptoms for residents who were wor-
ried compared to those who were not worried
among the exposed population. The authors
concluded that being worried, rather than a
toxicologic effect from the site, explained the
symptoms. Hertzman et al. (30) used med-
ical records to confirm certain symptoms and
found no over- or underreporting. They con-
cluded that this finding indicated limited
reporting bias; however, only a small propor-
tion of the respondents' records were
reviewed. Moreover, seeing a physician (and
therefore having a medical record) may itself
be related to concerns about the site. Baker
et al. (31) studied self-reported health prob-
lems as well as mortality, cancer incidence,
and pregnancy outcomes from medical regis-
ters at the Stringfellow waste dump in
California. Self-reported diseases and symp-
toms were the only outcomes that differed
between exposed and unexposed areas.
Again, a higher perception of threat was
related to a higher risk of nearly all self-
reported symptoms.
The complicated relation between worry,
odor perception, and symptom reporting
related to hazardous waste landfill sites is
further discussed by several authors (35-37).
Two recent studies around the French
landfill of Montchanin used records of pre-
scribed medication (19) and cases from gen-
eral practitioners (GPs) (20) to define health
outcome, in order to avoid biases related to
self-reporting of symptoms. Exposure classifi-
cation in both studies was based on an indi-
vidual index, taking into account the
concentration of airborne pollutants and daily
activities of study subjects. High concentra-
tions ofVOCs were detected in areas near the
site and both leachates and air from the site
were reported to be highly toxic in 1988 and
1989, shortly after site closure. Consumption
of drugs prescribed for most conditions from
1987 to 1989 did not show a trend with expo-
sure level, although a slight trend was found
for drugs taken for ear, nose, and throat, and
pulmonary conditions. In the second study,
patients with conditions thought to be associ-
ated with dump emissions were compared to
other GP patients and an association was
found for respiratory symptoms and psycho-
logical disorders. Again, consulting a doctor
for such conditions and subsequent diagnosis
of the conditions by the physician may be
related to fears of adverse effects from the
landfill rather than to toxic chemical effects.
Cluster Investigations. In addition to the
above papers, a number of reports are avail-
able of geographical comparison studies initi-
ated after high rates (clusters) of specific
diseases were reported in the vicinity of land-
fill sites. For example, increased rates of
leukemia found in communities nearest a
toxic waste dump in North-Rhine Westfalia,
Germany, supported a GP report of a cluster
near the site (38). A cluster of childhood
cancer reported by residents near a landfill
site in Walsall, England, was not confirmed
in a geographical comparison of rates in the
ward containing the site to expected rates
based on the regional average (39). Only
short reports of these two investigations have
been published.Concerns from residents and
a GP about increased rates of congenital
abnormalities (specifically gastroschisis, a
defect in the abdominal body wall) among
the population living near the Welsh landfill
of Nant-y-Gwyddon were supported by the
finding that rates of congenital abnormalities
in exposed wards were almost 1.9-fold those
in unexposed wards over the period from
1990 to 1996 (40). However, rates in the
exposed wards were already high (1.9-fold
those of unexposed wards) between 1983 and
1987 before the site opened, and it is
unlikely, therefore, that these increased rates
were due to the landfill. Four cases of con-
firmed gastroschisis indicated a significant
9-fold excess in rates of gastroschisis among
exposed wards between 1989 and 1996. A
duster of bladder cancer cases in one town in
Illinois in the United States, was observed by
researchers and subsequently linked to the
presence of two contaminated wells close to a
landfill site (41).
A general problem in the interpretation of
all cluster investigations is that localized areas
of high disease density may occur even as part
of a random pattern of disease. It is difficult
to distinguish clusters derived from this ran-
dom pattern from those where there is a com-
mon underlying local cause (42,43). Also,
areas with higher disease densities, although
part of the random pattern of disease, may be
selectively picked for study.
Studies ofdrinking water contamina-
tion incidents. The presence of chemicals in
groundwater and drinking water is an impor-
tant factor in determining the risk posed by
landfill sites. However, it does not tell us
what effect, if any, the consumption of conta-
minated water has on human health. Studies
of adverse health effects prompted by the
contamination of well water used for drink-
ing water and other domestic uses by haz-
ardous substances from waste disposal sites
(mainly sites where chemical waste drums
were buried) are discussed below. Literature
on contaminated water and potential health
effects is more extensive than that presented

in this section, which focuses only on water
contamination directly related to the disposal
of waste. The 1991 review by the National
Research Council (2) gives a more compre-
hensive review of studies on contamination of
domestic water supplies and health effects
and concludes that although the available lit-
erature is scanty and not conclusive, drinking
water contamination could lead to adverse
health effects. Most of the studies summa-
rized below have been discussed extensively in
previous reviews (1,2).
In Woburn, Massachusetts, toxic chemicals
(industrial solvents, mainly trichloroethyl-
ene) from a waste disposal site were detected
in municipal drinking water wells. Residents
ofWoburn reported a cluster of 12 leukemia
cases in children, and a first study confirmed
that this number was significantly higher
than expected on the basis of national rates
(44). The problems with cluster analyses are
discussed above. Because of lack of informa-
tion on exposure to the contaminated wells,
it was not possible in this first report to link
the leukemia cases with exposure to the well
water. Lagakos et al. (45) followed up these
findings by compiling an exposure score for
residential zones in Woburn using informa-
tion on what fraction of the water supply in
each zone had come from the contaminated
wells annually since the start of the wells.
Childhood leukemia incidence, perinatal
deaths, congenital anomalies, and childhood
disorders were studied in relation to the
exposure scores. A significant excess was
found again comparing leukemia rates for
Woburn with national rates, and an associa-
tion was found between leukemia incidence
and exposure scores. The pregnancy out-
come survey found associations with eye/ear
congenital anomalies and central nervous
system/oral cleft/chromosomal anomalies
(mostly Down syndrome) but not with low
birth weight or most childhood disorders.
Pregnancy outcomes were self-reported in
this study, but because residents were not
aware of their exact exposure scores, the
authors conclude that it is unlikely that this
led to substantial differential overreporting.
Byers et al. (46) undertook a study of 28
family members of patients with leukemia
in Woburn. Damage to the immune and
nervous systems was found in exposed rela-
tives but not in unexposed controls.
Exposure in this study was not measured by
exposure to contaminated well water but by
being related to a leukemia patient in
Woburn, which makes it difficult to inter-
pret the findings. The authors point out
that it is impossible to say whether the asso-
ciation is due to an inherited predisposition
or to a common environmental exposure of
family members to agents that damage the
immune system.
A number of studies followed the
contamination of two drinking-water wells in
Santa Clara County, California, with chlori-
nated solvents that had leaked from an under-
ground waste storage tank. Residents living
near one of the contaminated wells reported a
cluster of adverse pregnancy outcomes,
mainly spontaneous abortions and congenital
heart defects. A first investigation (47) con-
firmed a significant excess of cardiac anom-
alies in the service area of the water company
that operated the contaminated well com-
pared to those among residents of an unex-
posed area. The excess was found within the
potentially exposed time period and not in an
unexposed time period after the well was
dosed. The authors conclude that the solvent
leak was an unlikely explanation for the
excess of cardiac anomalies found because the
excess occurred mainly in the first 12 months
of the exposed time period, and there was a
significant (p = 0.03) deficit of cases during
the second 8 months corresponding to the
time when exposure was thought to be more
certain. However, it is unclear when the leak
started and the potentially exposed period
was defined beforehand as the full 20-month
period. A second study in the same area
reported an increased risk of all congenital
malformations combined and spontaneous
abortions (48). A follow-up study including a
second exposed area did not observe an
increase in either outcome in this second area,
even though it was thought to have the same
water exposure as the original area (49). An
exposure study estimating monthly concen-
trations of solvents in each census tract found
no difference in probability of exposure
between women with adverse pregnancy out-
comes and women with normal births (50).
Subsequent studies investigating water con-
sumption in Santa Clara County report sig-
nificant associations between reported tap
water consumption and risk of cardiac defects
(51) and spontaneous abortions (52,53),
regardless of whether women lived in areas
that received contaminated water. As the
authors of these studies point out, recall
biases cannot be excluded.
In Hardeman County, Tennessee, well
water used as drinking water by residents was
found to be contaminated with high concen-
trations of carbon tetrachloride and other
chlorinated compounds after complaints were
received about the taste of the water. A nearby
landfill where 300,000 barrels of pesticide
waste had been buried was responsible for the
contamination. Analysis of indoor air and
bathroom air while showers were running
both indicated detectable levels of carbon
tetrachloride and other organic compounds in
houses that received water from the contami-
nated wells. Carbon tetrachloride has been
identified in toxicologic studies as a strong
liver toxin. The investigation, conducted
several months after the population had
stopped using the water for drinking, showed
abnormally high levels of liver enzymes (indi-
cating liver damage) in residents who had used
contaminated water compared to controls,
who had not (13). The authors concluded
that these high liver enzyme levels probably
resulted mainly from exposure due to washing
and toilet water uses, and possibly from previ-
ous exposure through drinking and cooking.
Two months later, when use of the well had
completely stopped, liver function in the
exposed population had returned to normal.
This study benefited from relatively well-
documented exposure information and a clear
hypothesis about the possible health effects
(i.e., liver disease) related to exposure to
carbon tetrachloride.
Leakage from an industrial dump of
chemical waste drums in New Jersey caused
contamination ofgroundwater and well water
with organic chemicals (including benzene,
toluene, trichloroethylene, and lead). Najem
et al. (54) found higher self-reported preva-
lence of respiratory disease and seizures but
not cancer, liver illness, and skin disease in
people living in a high-exposure area esti-
mated on the basis of groundwater flow pat-
terns. Residents in the high-exposure area
used private drinking-water wells, ate home-
grown food, and smoked more often than
populations living in unexposed areas, and
when these factors were adjusted for, differ-
ences in health outcomes disappeared.
Adjusting for possible exposure routes such as
local food consumption and use of private
wells may have led to overadjustment, how-
ever, which would explain why no differences
in health outcome were found.
An ex-military base in Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania contained drums of toxic chem-
icals, fly ash, and other waste; well water for
homes located on the perimeter of the site
was contaminated with trichloroethylene,
PCBs, pesticides, and other chemicals (55).
Residents were instructed to stop using the
water. Higher rates of eye irritation, diarrhea,
and sleepiness were reported by residents of
households with contaminated well water
than by residents of households not having
contaminated water.
Muldsite Studies
The problems with single-site studies
prompted by community pressures have
increasingly been recognized, and recently
several large studies have investigated adverse
health effects near sets of hundreds of sites
selected independently of community con-
cerns or reported disease clusters (Table 2).
These studies have the additional advantage
of large numbers of subjects, which would
give them enough statistical power to detect

HEALTH EFFECTS OF LANDFILL SITES
small increases in risk of rare diseases such as
birth defects and specific cancers. On the
other hand, their large scale makes exposure
assessment even more complicated than in
single-site studies, as adequate information
must be collected for each of many sites. A
number of the studies discussed below have
used the U.S. National Priority Listing (NPL)
of hazardous waste sites developed by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.
EPA) to select their sites. The NPL ranks all
hazardous waste sites in the United States
deemed to be of considerable threat to the
environment or public health. NPL sites have
been relatively well assessed with respect to
the potential or actual migration of hazardous
chemical substances from the sites through
groundwater, surface water, and air (2). Most
multisite studies, however, were not able to
distinguish between different types and path-
ways of contamination and, in absence of bet-
ter exposure data, based their assessments of
exposure on distance of residence from the
sites or residence in an area with a site.
Exposure misclassification, if nondifferential,
may be expected to dilute true effects in these
investigations. Multisite studies mainly inves-
tigated cancers and reproductive outcomes.
Cancer studies. Griffith et al. (56)
identified 593 NPL sites over the entire
United States where contamination of
groundwater used for drinking water had
been detected by laboratory analyses. Cancer
mortality rates for counties containing one or
more of these NPL sites were compared to
those for counties not containing sites and
raised levels of lung, bladder, stomach, and
rectum cancer were found. These results were
not adjusted for confounding factors such as
socioeconomic status and smoking and are
therefore difficult to interpret.
A case-control study in New York State
(57) examined lung-cancer in relation to resi-
dence in a census tract with a waste site.
Twelve waste sites known to contain sus-
pected lung carcinogens were studied. A ques-
tionnaire survey among next of kin of the
deceased cases and controls attempted to col-
lect information on factors such as smoking,
diet, education, and residential history.
Smoking was significantly more frequent
among cases, but there was no association
between having lived in or duration of living
in an exposed census tract and risk of lung
cancer. Low response rates (around 60%) and
possible recall bias limit this study.
A recent study in New York State (58)
investigated cancer risks near 38 landfills
where migration of landfill gas through soil
was likely. Migration of soil gas could result
in indoor exposure in nearby houses to haz-
ardous VOCs carried with the landfill gas.
Potential exposure areas were defined around
each site, and extended 250 ft from the
landfill at 36 sites and 500 ft at 2 sites.
Incident cases of cancer collected from the
New York State Cancer Registry were com-
pared with a random selection of deaths from
causes other than cancer, matched by age and
sex. Only cancers of the liver, lung, bladder,
kidney, and brain, and non-Hodgkin lym-
phoma and leukemia were studied, as they
were regarded potentially sensitive to chemi-
cal exposures. Statistically significant excesses
in the defined exposure areas were reported
only for bladder cancer in women and
leukemia in women. The results were
adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics
of the areas of residence. No information was
available on individual factors such as smok-
ing or on how long cases and controls had
been living at certain addresses. The use of
deceased controls makes interpretation of this
study extremely complicated. The deceased
population from which controls were selected
may differ from the population from which
the cases were drawn on a number of
variables, including their residence locations.
Studies ofreproductive outcomes. Shaw
et al. (59) conducted a study on the risk of
congenital malformations and low birth
weight in areas with landfills, chemical dump
sites, industrial sites, and hazardous treatment
and storage facilities in the San Francisco
Bay, California area. Census tracts were clas-
sified as a) no hazardous site in area, b) haz-
ardous site in area but no evidence of human
exposure, and c) hazardous site and plume in
the area with evidence of potential human
exposure. A small increase (1.5-fold) in risk
was found for heart and circulatory malfor-
mations in the areas with potential human
exposure. This increased risk was present
across chemical classes and exposure routes.
Risk of other malformations or low birth
weight was not significantly increased. Results
were adjusted for some potential risk factors
(maternal age, race, sex of child, birth order)
but not for socioeconomic status.
Reproductive outcomes have been
studied in a number of other multisite
studies. Sosniak et al. (60) investigated the
risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes for peo-
ple living within 1 mile of a total of 1,281
NPL sites over the entire United States. The
risk for low birth weight and other preg-
nancy outcomes (infant and fetal death, pre-
maturity, and congenital anomaly) was not
associated with living near a site after taking
into account a large number of potential
confounding factors, including socioeco-
nomic variables collected through question-
naires. However, only around 63% of
women originally sampled for the study
returned the questionnaire and were
included in the study. Also, it is unclear how
congenital anomalies were defined, and no
subgroups of malformations were studied.
Geschwind et al. (61) investigated the
risk of congenital malformations in the vicin-
ity of 590 hazardous waste sites in New York
State. A 12% increase in congenital malfor-
mations was found for people living within
1 mile of a site. For malformations of the
nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and
integument (skin, hair, and nails), higher
risks were found. Some associations between
specific malformation types and types of
waste were evaluated and found to be signifi-
cant. A dose-response relationship (higher
risks with higher exposure) was reported
between estimated hazard potential of the site
and risk of malformation, adding support to a
possible causal relationship. However, a fol-
low-up study of Geschwind's findings (62)
found no relation between two selected types
of malformations (central nervous system and
musculoskeletal) and living near a hazardous
waste disposal site. The study did report an
increased risk of central nervous system
defects for those living near solvent- or metal-
emitting industrial facilities. Subjects for the
first 2 years of this study were also included in
Geschwind's study, and 2 more years were
studied. Marshall et al. (62) attempted to
improve the exposure measurement in the
first study by assessing the probability of spe-
cific contaminant-pathway combinations in
25 sectors of the 1-mile exposure zones (63).
The risk of particular pathways or contami-
nant groups could not be investigated, how-
ever, because of limited numbers of cases in
each subgroup. Hall et al. (64) used the same
method of exposure assessment to study renal
disease near 317 waste sites in 20 counties in
New York State. Increased risks were found
for associations between renal disease and res-
idential proximity to a site (within 1 mile),
the number of years lived near a site, and a
medium or high probability of exposure,
although the associations did not reach
statistical significance.
A study by Croen et al. (65) based
exposure measurement on both residence in a
census tract containing a waste site and dis-
tance of residence from a site. Three specific
types of birth defects (neural tube defects
[NTDs], heart defects, and oral clefts) were
studied; little or no increase in the risk was
found using either measure of exposure. Risks
of neural tube (2-fold) and heart defects (4-
fold) were increased for maternal residence
within 1/4 mile of a site, although numbers of
cases and controls were too small (between 2
and 8) for these risk estimates to reach statisti-
cal significance. Births were ascertained from
nonmilitary-base hospitals only, and the
authors point out that the increased risk of
NTDs may have resulted from lower ascer-
tainment of exposed controls than exposed
cases where exposure zones included military
bases. Military base residents with pregnancies

affected by NTDs may have been more likely
to deliver in nonmilitary hospitals than
residents with unaffected pregnancies.
A first European multisite study recently
reported a 33% increase in all nonchromoso-
mal birth defects combined for residents living
within 3 km of 21 hazardous waste sites in 10
European regions (66). Neural tube defects
and specific heart defects showed statistically
significant increases in risk. Confounding fac-
tors such as maternal age and socioeconomic
status did not readily explain the results. The
study included both open and closed sites
that ranged from uncontrolled dumps to rela-
tively modern controlled operations. This dis-
parity makes it difficult at this stage to
conclude, if indeed the association is causal,
whether risks are related to landfill sites in
general or whether specific types of sites may
be posing the risks.
Conclusions
The presence of large quantities of mixtures
of potentially hazardous chemicals in landfill
sites close to residential populations has
increasingly caused concern. Concerns have
led to a substantial number of studies on the
health effects associated with landfill sites.
From this review we can conclude that
increases in risk of adverse health effects have
been reported near individual landfill sites
and in some multisite studies. Although
biases and confounding factors cannot be
excluded as explanations for these findings,
the findings may indicate real risks associated
with residence near certain landfill sites.
For several reasons, evidence is limited for
a causal role of landfill exposures in the health
outcomes examined despite the large number
of studies. Effects of low-level environmental
exposure in the general population are by
their nature difficult to establish. Also, exist-
ing epidemiologic studies are affected by a
range of methodologic problems, potential
biases, and confounding factors, making the
interpretation of both positive (statistically
significant increase in risk) and negative (no
increase in risk) findings difficult (67). Lack
of direct exposure measurement and resulting
misclassification of exposure affects most
studies and can limit their powers to detect
health risks.
It is possible that studies not showing
associations have been less likely to be
included in this review because they may have
been less likely to be submitted or selected for
publication, thereby causing the review to be
biased toward studies that did report positive
associations. However, a number of so-called
negative studies have been published and
included in this review. We feel that most
large, good-quality, epidemiologic investiga-
tions, particularly those starting with an a -
priori hypothesis rather than a specific cluster,
would have resulted in publication, whether
or not the findings were positive.
An increase in self-reported health
outcomes and symptoms such as headaches,
sleepiness, respiratory symptoms, psychologi-
cal conditions, and gastrointestinal problems
has been found consistently in health surveys
around sites where local concerns were evi-
dent (9,16-18,30-34,54,55). In these health
surveys symptoms were usually reported by
the exposed population without further con-
firmation of the diagnoses by medical exami-
nation. It is not possible at this stage to
conclude whether the symptoms are an effect
of direct toxicologic action of chemicals pre-
sent in waste sites, an effect of stress and fears
related to the waste site, or an effect of
reporting bias (the tendency of exposed peo-
ple to remember and report more symptoms
than unexposed people). Several authors have
discussed the possibility that odor complaints
and related worry about a site may trigger
symptoms of stress-related disease or lead to
an increased awareness of existing symptoms
(36,37). Further research in this area is
urgently needed to improve our understand-
ing of the impact of social factors and risk
perceptions on both actual and perceived ill
health in waste site communities. Issues of
environmental equity and environmental jus-
tice must form an integral part of such
research.
Evidence for a causal relationship between
landfill exposures and cancers is still weak.
Cancers are difficult to study because of long
latency periods, as discussed in previous sec-
tions. Also, cancer studies have mainly com-
pared incidence or mortality rates between
geographic areas without collecting adequate
information on confounding factors. Excesses
in bladder, lung, and stomach cancer and
leukemia were reported in more than one
study (21,29,41,45,56,58). Well-designed
studies with long follow-up and good quality
information about confounding factors such as
smoking are needed to confirm these findings.
A number of studies have suggested a
relationship between residential proximity to
landfill sites and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
An increase in infants with low birth weights
has been the most consistent finding in
single-site studies (11,12,14,26,27). These
were generally well-designed studies and low
birth weight is thought to be a sensitive
marker of effects of chemical exposures. Small
increases in the risk of birth defects and cer-
tain specific birth defects (cardiac defects, cen-
tral nervous system defects, musculoskeletal
defects) have been reported, mainly in multi-
site studies (12,59,61,65,66). Studies are still
too few, however, to draw condusions regard-
ing causality. Fetuses, infants, and children are
generally thought to be more vulnerable and
therefore experience toxic effects at lower
doses than the adult population (25). The
finding of shorter stature in Love Canal
children (10) may also be an example of this.
An increased presence of chromosomal
changes was reported in the vicinity of a land-
fill site in Mellery, Belgium (15,28), but not
in Love Canal (8). Findings in Mellery were
related to children in particular, which may
again be an indication that children are more
susceptible to low-level exposures from waste
sites. It is not clear at present how well chro-
mosomal changes predict cancer risk in
humans.
Other adverse health outcomes such as
abnormalities in liver function (13) and in
renal disease (64) have also been reported in
relation to hazardous waste exposure,
although in single studies only.
For the future planning and regulation of
landfill sites it is important to know which
types of sites are most likely to entail risks.
Landfill sites may differ enormously in the
conditions that render them hazardous, and
conditions that determine the exposure to
and resulting health risks posed by any waste
site are likely to be unique to that particular
site. Such conditions may include the types,
quantities, and age of the waste present;
hydrogeologic and metereologic factors; and
site management and engineering practices.
We have not in this review attempted to
relate technical aspects of waste disposal to
health effects. Much of the existing epidemio-
logic work investigates large, old sites, uncon-
trolled dumps, and sites where heavy off-site
migration of chemicals was detected. On the
basis of current evidence, we cannot extrapo-
late findings for these individual sites to land-
fill sites in general or conclude which landfill
sites are more likely than others to affect the
health of nearby human populations.
It is also not possible to determine
whether sites with airborne or waterborne
exposures are more likely to pose a risk to
human health. Although drinking water con-
tamination is usually the primary concern
related to landfill sites, in most cases local
water supplies do not originate from the local
area. Most studies, therefore, concern landfill
sites where no local drinking-water wells
were present and potential exposure was
either airborne or through other routes such
as direct contact and consumption of home-
grown vegetables.
At present information regarding adverse
health effects of exposure to landfill sites in
European countries is largely lacking.
Further Research Needs
Research into the health effects of landfill
sites is relatively immature, and further
research could improve our current under-
standing (1,2,25,68). Future studies of land-
fill sites would greatly benefit from a more

HEALTH EFFECTS OF LANDFILL SITES
interdisciplinary approach, drawing from the
fields of landfill engineering, environmental
sciences, toxicology, and epidemiology.
Improvements in the base of toxicologic
and epidemiologic data on effects of specific
chemical exposures would improve our
understanding of possible risks of the migra-
tion of these chemicals from landfill sites into
the environment. Johnson and DeRosa (69),
in a recent review of toxicologic hazards of
Superfund waste sites, conclude that although
a large body of toxicologic research is under
way to assess the toxicity of chemicals com-
monly contaminating the environment sur-
rounding waste sites, equally significant work
is still to be done before these chemicals have
adequate toxicity profiles that can be used by
health and risk assessors. Johnson and
DeRosa discuss data needs established by the
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry and the U.S. EPA for research of
individual chemicals and find these needs
mainly in dose-response studies, reproductive
studies, and immunotoxicology studies.
Improved data on effects of individual chemi-
cal exposures would improve the quality of
quantitative risk assessments that can be
made for landfill exposures. However, quanti-
tative risk assessments are based to a large
extent on unverifiable assumptions, and
therefore cannot negate the necessity for
direct epidemiologic studies of people living
near landfill sites.
More research into effects of chemical
mixtures and possible interactions between
single chemicals is needed to improve under-
standing of effects of multiple chemical expo-
sures. Such research is complex, but new
research initiatives are under way, mainly in
the United States. For example, the U.S. EPA
MIXTOX database, which contains toxico-
logic data on interactions ofhundreds of pairs
ofchemicals, is a promising new development
(70). Research developments and future
directions in this field are discussed in detail
by a number of authors (70-72).
The investigation of single landfill sites is
important as a response to community con-
cerns. More multisite studies with large study
populations should also be conducted to draw
conclusions about more general risks. Ideally,
such multisite studies should attempt to clas-
sify sites in such a way that risks related to
specific site characteristics can be investigated.
However, systematic site assessments needed
to underpin such classifications are at present
totally lacking in Europe. There is little
detailed information on waste inputs, espe-
cially for old landfills, and monitoring prac-
tices vary hugely for factors such as frequency
of monitoring, the environmental media
monitored, and types of chemicals moni-
tored. Standardized waste-input recording
systems and monitoring practices across
European countries and the availability of
summary reports of waste inputs and moni-
toring results would aid site classifications for
epidemiologic studies as well as risk assess-
ments. A recent report evaluating the use of a
risk assessment tool on two U.S. and three
U.K. landfill sites concluded that in the
United Kingdom it is not possible to charac-
terize the majority of landfills, even to the
level at which a simple risk assessment frame-
work can be employed on a site-specific basis.
This particularly applies to the characterization
ofemplaced waste (73).
Epidemiology has increasingly made use of
so-called biomarkers-biological monitors of
either the internal dose of a chemical (bio-
markers of exposure) or the biologic response
to exposure (biomarkers of early effect).
Biomarkers of the first type measure levels of
chemicals in human tissue and fluids (e.g.,
blood, urine). These techniques can generally
measure only a small number of chemicals,
and their use is limited to situations in which
environmental monitoring data indicate spe-
cific landfill chemicals that are of particular
concern. The presence of chemicals in the
body is currently difficult and costly to mea-
sure, but this may change. Biomarkers of the
second type measure biological responses such
as chromosomal changes (sister chromatid
exchanges) and molecular changes (DNA
adducts), and could be seen as early effect
manifestations. Interpretation of these effect
biomarkers is difficult; their link with clini-
cally overt disease remains unclear, but their
use could give studies much greater statistical
power than studies of rare disease outcomes.
Biomarker techniques have been used mainly
in occupational settings and there has been
less discussion of their use in environmental
studies (74,75). Collaboration is required
between epidemiologists and basic scientists to
further develop biomarker techniques for use
in studies of environmental exposures.
Specific areas of further research likely to
prove most useful are
*
The study of vulnerable groups-groups
of the population likely to develop adverse
health effects at levels of exposure lower
than those of the general population.
Such groups include: fetuses, infants, and
children; elderly people; and people with
impaired health.
*
The study of people with higher expo-
sures, for example, children (because they
come into higher contact with potentially
contaminated soil); people who eat local
food products; workers at waste sites;
people with life-styles (possibly socio-
economically determined) that lead to
higher exposures.
*
The study of worst-case landfills. In the
absence of adequate exposure data, it is
difficult to define worst-case sites.
Ranking systems are in use, e.g., in the
Superfund program (76), to rank waste
sites according to their hazard potential,
but their application generally requires
extensive site investigations. Few epidemi-
ologic studies would have the resources to
carry out such investigations. It could be
argued that identification of worst-case
landfills should form part of regulatory
practice in Europe. However, in the
absence of systematic investigation of this
kind, the study of sites where high off-site
contamination has been detected and sites
that have been subject to less regulation
(possibly sites in developing countries or
Eastern Europe) could be suitable for the
study of worst-case scenarios provided
appropriate health data can be collected.
It is possible with suitable investment to
improve levels of understanding about risks
of hazardous wastes to human health.
However, because of the complicated nature
of the exposure, it is likely that there will
always remain a degree of uncertainty
regarding health effects of landfill sites.

Abstract
Background: The evidence on the health effects related to residing close to landfills is controversial. Nine
landfills for municipal waste have been operating in the Lazio region (Central Italy) for several decades.
We evaluated the potential health effects associated with contamination from landfills using the estimated
concentration of hydrogen sulphide (H  S) as exposure.
Methods : A cohort of residents within 5 km of landfills was enrolled (subjects resident on 1 January 1996
and those who subsequently moved into the areas until 2008) and followed for mortality and
hospitalizations until 31 December 2012. Assessment of exposure to the landfill (H  S as a tracer) was
performed for each subject at enrolment, using a Lagrangian dispersion model. Information on several
confounders was available (gender, age, socioeconomic position, outdoor PM 
 concentration, and
distance from busy roads and industries). Cox regression analysis was performed [Hazard Ratios (HRs),
95% confidence intervals (CIs)].
Results: The cohort included 242 409 individuals. H  S exposure was associated with mortality from lung
cancer and respiratory diseases (e.g. HR for increment of 1 ng/m  H  S: 1.10, 95% CI 1.02–1.19; HR
1.09, 95% CI 1.00–1.19, respectively). There were also associations between H  S and hospitalization for
respiratory diseases (HR = 1.02, 95% CI 1.00–1.03), especially acute respiratory infections among children
(0–14 years) (HR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.02–1.11).
Conclusions: Exposure to H  S, a tracer of airborne contamination from landfills, was associated with
lung cancer mortality as well as with mortality and morbidity for respiratory diseases. The link with
respiratory disease is plausible and coherent with previous studies, whereas the association with lung
cancer deserves confirmation.
Keywords: waste, landfills, residential cohort study
Key Messages
The evidence on the health of people living close to landfills is still controversial; most of the
published studies are characterized by poor exposure assessment, use of health data at the
aggregate level and limited possibility of adjusting for socioeconomic status.
We evaluated the potential health effect of living near nine landfills (Lazio region, Italy), using a
residential cohort approach and a dispersion model for exposure assessment.
Exposure to landfills was associated with mortality from lung cancer and respiratory diseases and
with hospitalizations for respiratory diseases, both in adults and in children.
Introduction
People who live close to municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills could be exposed to air pollutants emitted
by the plants (landfill gas containing methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and other contaminants
including volatile organic compounds, particulate matter and bioaresols) or to contaminated soil and water.
The possible health effects related to residence close to these sites have been assessed in several original
papers 1–9 and evaluated in systematic reviews. 10 11 Excess of mortality for some cancer sites (e.g. liver,
pancreas, kidney, larynx) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma has been noted in some studies, 1–3 but the results
have not been confirmed in other investigations. 4–6 In addition, some studies have indicated an increase
of respiratory symptoms among residents close to biodegradable waste facilities. 12 In 2009, Porta et al .
10 concluded that evidence of an association between living close to a landfill and adverse health effects is
inconclusive. Most of the published studies have methodological problems, including poor exposure
assessment based only on distance from the source, use of health data at the aggregate level and limited
possibility of adjusting for socioeconomic status. The quality of the epidemiological studies and scientific
knowledge about the issue would be improved by using a residential cohort approach 13 and applying
dispersion models to provide a better exposure assessment. 14
This study aimed at evaluating the association between estimated exposure to hydrogen sulphide (H  S,
produced by anaerobic decomposition of sulphur-containing organic matter in landfills) and mortality and
morbidity of a cohort of residents living within 5 km of the nine MSW landfills of the Lazio region
(Central Italy, about 5 million inhabitants including the city of Rome). The study was part of a larger
project on the characteristics of municipal solid waste treatment plants, their emissions and potential health
effects in Lazio ( www.eraslazio.it ).
Methods
Study areas
Nine municipal solid waste landfills have been operating in Lazio for several decades. Only in the past two
decades they were equipped with containments (including leachate collection and treatment, landfill cap
construction and landfill gas collection and treatment). The main characteristics of the landfills (together
with other potentially relevant environmental factors in the areas, e.g. arsenic contamination) 14 are
described in Supplementary Table 1 , Landfill characteristics, and in Supplementary Figure 2 , Study areas,
(available as Supplementary data at IJE online). The study area was defined for each landfill as a 5-km
radius from the boundary of the landfills assessed using GIS software and regional technical maps with a
scale of 1:5000. The World Geodetic System of 1984, with the Universal Transverse Mercator zone
33Nord projection (WGS84_UTM33N) was the reference for the geographical coordinates.
Exposure assessment
H  S has been considered a surrogate measure of all contaminants emitted by landfills, and the airborne
concentrations were predicted using a dispersion model. Dispersion models, such as the one we have been
using here, have been recently used to assess the health effects of waste management processes. 15–17 We
followed a process in three steps. First, yearly H  S emissions from each sector of the landfills were
estimated using a Landfill Gas Emissions Model. 18 Using several variables (the start and end dates of
operations for each sector of the landfills, the waste capacity and waste acceptance rate), the annual
emission rates for H  S were calculated by means of a first-order decomposition rate equation:
where:
QH  S = annual emission rate (m  /year)
t = age of the jth section of the landfill
i = 1 year time increment
n = (year of the calculation) – (initial year of waste acceptance)
j = 0.1 year time increment
K = hydrogen sulphide generation rate (year-1)
L  = potential hydrogen sulphide generation capacity (m  /Mg)
M  = mass of waste accepted until t (in Mg)
tij = age of the waste mass accepted until the ith year (M  ) at the jth section
Mg = Megagram.
We used inventory defaults parameters derived from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors 19 to define hydrogen sulphide generation rate (K) and
potential hydrogen sulphide generation capacity (L  ), and Mt and tij were defined by the Lazio
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) using local data. Second, the EMMA software was used for the
temporal and spatial modulation of the estimated emissions. EMMA approximates landfills shape as a
regular grid with a resolution of 125 m x 125 m. 20 Finally, we used a Lagrangian particle model (SPRAY
ver.5, ARIANET Srl, Italy) to simulate H  S concentrations around the landfills and to produce maps of
annual average concentrations around the sites; 2008 was chosen as the reference year for all the sites. The
meteorological data were derived from regional measurements made by Lazio EPA in 2005 (that year is
considered representative of the meteorological conditions in the area), and used in connection with RAMS
data. 21 The Lagrangian model simulates the transport, dispersion and deposition of pollutants emitted
using the orography, the meteorological data, the turbulence and the hourly spatial distribution (horizontal
and vertical) of the emissions, based on the characteristics of the single source and on the mass fluxes. The
model follows the path of fictitious particles in the atmospheric turbulent flow, and it is able to take into
account complex situations, such as the presence of obstacles, breeze cycles, strong meteorological non-
homogeneities and non-stationary, calm wind conditions.
Each subject in the cohort (see below) was assigned an H  S exposure value corresponding to the
estimated annual average value from the dispersion model at the baseline address. In other words, no
exposure variation over time was considered and each person remained at the same exposure level during
the all study period.
Enrolment of the cohort and follow-up procedures
All residents living within 5 km of the borders of the landfill on 1 January 1996, or those who later moved
to the areas until 31 December 2008, were enrolled; datasets from 16 municipalities were used. Vital status
was assessed using local registries until 31 December 2012. We considered subjects at risk until they died
or moved out of the municipality.
Health outcomes
We analysed natural and cause-specific mortality and hospital admissions for cardiorespiratory diseases.
The underlying cause of death for deceased subjects was retrieved from the Regional Registry of Causes of
Death, and hospital admissions were obtained from the Regional Hospital Information System which
collects information related to all hospital admissions that occur each year in public and private hospitals.
Causes of death and diagnoses of hospitalization were coded according to the ICD 9 revision. For each
subject, only the principal diagnosis that was the reason for the hospitalization was used and the event (i.e.
failure in the Cox model) was defined at the time of the first hospitalization for a specific cause that
occurred in the study period. Respiratory hospital admissions for children (residents under 14 years) were
also analysed.
Covariates
We considered for each subject an area-based socioeconomic position (SEP) index, based on several
characteristics at the census tract level (around 400 inhabitants) such as education level, occupation,
housing conditions, family size and country of origin, classified into five levels (high, middle-high,
medium, middle-low, low). 22 Modelled outdoor PM 
 concentrations (µg/m  ) from primary emissions
were assigned to the residential addresses of the cohort participants as a measure of background air quality.
23 The dispersion model was based on the integration between the meteorological Regional Atmospheric
Modelling System 21 and the Eulerian Flexible Air Quality Regional Model (FARM, ARIANET Srl, Italy).
As an additional indicator of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution at the baseline address, we
used the Functional Road Class (FRC) (included in the TeleAtlasMultiNet road network) to classify the
type of street: motorway (FRC = 0) and major traffic roads (FRC = 1–5). Presence of an industrial plant in
the 2-km buffer from the residence was also considered. Information on individual lifestyle factors was not
available.
Statistical analysis
The association between landfill H  S exposure and mortality and hospital admissions was evaluated using
Cox proportional hazard regression models [hazard ratios (HRs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs)], with age
as the underlying time variable.
For mortality we defined a latency period of 5 years; therefore we considered all cohort participants who
were residents of the area on 1 January 1996 (and started the follow-up on 1 January 2001) and those who
subsequently moved to the areaup until 31 December 2003 (starting the follow-up 5 years after enrolment).
No latency was allowed for the analyses of cardiorespiratory hospitalizations. We first compared the
mortality and hospitalization risk of residents according to quartiles of the H  S distribution. We then
considered H  S as a continuous variable, using the value of the annual mean exposure at residence. A
linear association was estimated for increments equal to 1 ng/m  of H  S. We considered as potential
confounders socioeconomic position (SEP), PM 
 background concentrations, residence within 150 m of
main roads, 500 m from highways and within 1 or 2 km of industrial plants. With the exception of PM 
 ,
which was a continuous variable, all other covariates were considered in the model as categorical variables.
In addition, the analyses were performed stratifying in the Cox analysis by landfill sites, to take into
account the possible different background rates in the various local areas, by gender and by calendar period
(1996–2000, 2001–04, 2005–08, 2009–12), to take into account possible time-related changes in
background rates of mortality and hospitalization. Diagnostic tools were used to check the proportional-
hazard assumption for all categorical covariates. If any variable in the individual cohort models violated
this assumption, effect estimates were compared with a stratified Cox analysis for that covariate. SAS
(SAS Institute, NC) and STATA ver. 12 (StataCorp, TX) software programs were used for the statistical
analyses.
Results
A total of 242 409 individuals were enrolled in the cohort from 1996 to 2008 (50.4% females), and H  S
concentrations were estimated for each of them at the address of recruitment. The annual average H  S
exposure levels of the population was rather low, 6.3 ng/m  [standard deviation (SD) 22.5]; as expected,
people living close to the larger landfills (Latina and Rome) had higher H  S exposure levels [mean =
32.7 ng/m  (SD 76.3) and mean = 45.8 ng/m  (SD 59), respectively].
The main characteristics of the study cohort according to H  S concentrations (divided by quartiles of
exposure) are described in Table 1 . The distribution of gender, age and vital status was rather similar
across exposure categories. However, people living in areas with higher concentrations of H  S were more
likely to be of lower SEP compared with people living in areas with lower exposure. PM 
 background
concentrations were higher in the most exposed group compared with those in the low exposure category.
People in the higher exposure category tended to live farther from high traffic roads (500 m) but closer to
highways and industrial plants (0–1 km). There was a good correlation between distance from landfill and
H  S exposure.

At the end of the follow-up there were 18 609 deaths (7.7%), and for 40 740 subjects (16.8%) the follow-
up ended at the time of move away from the municipality of residence.
Table 2 shows the association between H  S concentrations and cause-specific mortality; effect estimates
are given for the quartile distribution of H  S (25–50, 50  75 and > 75 percentile of the distribution vs < 25
percentile) and for a linear increase of H  S equal to 1 ng/m  . There were associations between H  S
exposure and lung cancer (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.06–1.71), and respiratory diseases (HR 1.30, 95% CI 0.99–
1.70) when comparing residents in areas with H  S concentrations greater than 75 percentiles to the
reference group. These findings were confirmed when we consider H  S exposure as linear (HR 1.10, 95%
CI 1.02–1.19 for lung cancer and HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.00–1.19 for respiratory diseases). No other
associations were noted.

Table 3 shows the results for cardiorespiratory hospital admissions. No association was detected for
cardiovascular diseases. There was an association between the highest quartile of exposure to H  S and
hospitalizations for respiratory diseases (H 1.05, 95% CI 0.99–1.11) also when considering H  S exposure
as linear (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00–1.03). H  S exposure was linked with respiratory diseases and acute
respiratory infection hospital admissions among children (for the highest quartile, HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.01–
1.22; HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.04–1.38, respectively) also when we considered H  S exposure as a linear term
in the model. We found an association with paediatric admissions for asthma but with wider confidence
intervals.In both mortality and hospitalization analyses, we did not find effect modification by gender (data
not shown).

Because of the peculiarity of the urban site in Rome (‘Malagrotta’) (where a large landfill, an incinerator of
medical wastes, and a petrochemical refinery are located within just a few kilometres of each other 3 ), we
repeated the analyses excluding the subjects who live close to the Malagrotta landfill. There were no
important changes in the results (See Supplementary Tables 3 ‘Mortality excluding Malagrotta landfill’ and
4 ‘Morbidity excluding Malagrotta landfill’, available as Supplementary data at IJE online). We did
perform the same sensitivity analysis excluding each landfill at the time, and again the results were similar
(see Supplementary Figures 7 ‘Lung cancer mortality’, 8 ‘Respiratory mortality’, 9 ‘Respiratory morbidity’
and 10 ‘Respiratory morbidity in children’, available as Supplementary data at IJE online).
An additional analysis was performed using distance from the landfills (0–2 km, 2–3 km vs 3–5 km),
instead of estimated H  S concentration, as the exposure variable. Although the results for mortality using
distance were not similar to what has been observed using H  S concentrations (see Supplementary Table
5 ‘Mortality by distance’, available as Supplementary data at IJE online) the results for hospitalizations
were similar to those obtained using H  S concentrations (see Supplementary Table 6 ‘Morbidity by
distance’, available as Supplementary data at IJE online).
Our final concern was that migration outside the areas could bias the results in the case of migration being
associated with the exposure and if residents with pre-existing diseases were more likely to migrate. We
compared the characteristics of people who migrated outside the study areas (40 740 subjects) with those
who remained in the areas until the end of the follow-up (201 669 subjects) See Supplementary Table 11
‘Comparison between migrant and not migrant’, available as Supplementary data at IJE online). We
considered gender, age, socioeconomic status and H  S exposure as fixed variables. Since occurrence of
hospitalizations before migration is a time-dependent variable, we compared subjects migrating in the
period 2004–12 (19 695 subjects) with all subjects who did not migrate before that period (189 560
subjects), evaluating the occurrence of cardiorespiratory hospitalizations during1998–2003. Migration was
associated with male gender, younger age and lower exposure to H  S; no clear differences of migrants
compared with non-migrants were found for socioeconomic status. In a multinomial logistic
regression(data not shown), we found no major differences between the two groups for respiratory
diseases, whereas migrants were less likely than non-migrants to suffer from two or more hospitalizations
for cardiovascular disease (OR, 0.74, 95% CI 0.57–0.95) before migrating. All these results indicate that
bias due to increased susceptibility of migrants is unlikely given that migrants are less exposed and tend to
be healthier than non-migrants.
Discussion
We found a positive association between exposure to hydrogen sulphide (H  S), that we used as a
surrogate for all the pollutants co-emitted from the landfills, and mortality for lung cancer and respiratory
diseases as well as hospital admissions for respiratory diseases, especially in children.
Previous studies have investigated the association between residence close to landfills and cancer incidence
or cause-specific mortality, with conflicting results. A Canadian cohort study compared cancer incidence in
males living close to a landfill with that of residents of farther away areas. 1 The distance from the landfill
was assigned to each person based on the residential address at diagnosis. Excess risks for non-Hodgkin
lymphoma and liver, pancreas and kidney cancers were found in male residents close to the site.
Malagrotta (Rome) residents who lived near (in an area about 2 km  ) a large landfill of municipal solid
waste, an incinerator and a petrochemical refinery showed an association between proximity to landfill and
laryngeal cancer. 2 A more recent residential cohort study of the same area found that H  S exposure from
the landfill was related to higher risk of mortality from laryngeal cancer and bladder cancer in women, as
well as hospitalizations for cardiorespiratory diseases. 3 Jarup et al. compared cancer incidence (bladder,
brain and hepatobiliary cancers and leukaemias) in the population resident within 2 km of 9565 landfills in
UK with cancer rates of those who lived more than 2 km away. 4 Despite the large statistical power, the
study did not show excess cancer risk associated with proximity to landfill sites. An ecological study
compared mortality, hospital admissions and reproductive health of a population living near a landfill site
in Wales with another population matched for socioeconomic status. 5 No differences between the two
populations were found. A study in Brazil evaluated the association between residence close to solid waste
landfill sites and cancer mortality. 6 The exposed areas were defined using a 2-km buffer radius around 15
sites. Standardized mortality ratios were analysed in Bayesian spatial models. The results did not indicate
any excess risk for people close to landfills. Some elevated risks of bladder and liver cancer, and death due
to congenital malformation were found, although they did not have statistical significance.
The results we found regarding respiratory diseases are consistent with others suggesting a relationship
between living close to landfill areas and damage to the respiratory system, 24 25 as highlighted in a recent
systematic review. 26 Occurrence of respiratory symptoms was documented among residents living close
to waste sites 12 and was linked to inhalation exposure to endotoxin, microorganisms, and aerosols from
waste collection and land filling. 27
Occupational exposure to organic dust, particulate matters from microbial, plant or animal origin, has been
associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in a pooled analysis of case-control studies. 25 High lung
cancer mortality was found among male residents of Italian National Priority Contaminated Sites with
industrial waste landfills or illegal dumps 29 and among residents living near incinerators and landfills of
hazardous waste in Spain, 30 but the overall evidence that residing near landfills is associated with
increased risk of lung cancer is still inadequate. 10
This study attempted to overcome some of the limitations of the previously conducted studies, which
included issues of study design, exposure assessment and confounding. 11 We used a residential cohort
approach to provide a more detailed estimation of the population at risk. To each subject in the cohort we
assigned an H  S exposure value(corresponding to the estimated H  S concentration at the baseline
address). It was not possible to consider indexes of average or cumulative exposure based on the different
residences, because only a few municipality databases provided information about changes of residence
during the follow-up. For this reason, individual exposure reflects residence at the beginning of the follow-
up.
Previous studies have considered distance from landfills as a proxy of exposure. 4 7 9 Distance-to source is
easy to understand because it assumes that people living near the landfill are more exposed than people
living further away. We used modelled H  S concentrations as an exposure measure of the landfill gases,
on the assumption that the pollution from landfills does not spread uniformly around the site but depends
on the quantity of incoming waste, the prevailing winds and the orography of the area. 3 Our results for
hospitalizations were confirmed when we used distance from the source as the exposure variable instead of
modelled H  S concentrations. There are, however, several aspects in the exposure assessment process we
used that should be considered. H  S generation rates were taken from EPA published material, and waste
acceptance capacity and waste acceptance rates were from derived from legal authorized values. It is likely,
then, that the derived absolute emissions data were more accurate for the recent period and less certain for
the past. On the other hand, we used the shape of the H  S concentrations on the ground to rank subjects as
more exposed or less exposed, and this shape is of greater importance than the exact absolute values. Of
course, the major limitation of our exposure assessment is related to the lack of a validation study with in
situ measurements. Nonetheless, SPRAY is a consolidated model that has been validated using a
‘conventional’ validation framework, 31 and its performances and efficiency have been evaluated and
validated in multiple real conditions with different orography, size of domain, number of grid cells in the
domain, meteorological conditions and emission types. 32–34 The model has been already used in other
locations to study health effects of waste management. 3 17 Another aspect of concern is the use of
meteorological parameters that greatly influence the dispersion of the pollutants. We considered the year
2005 as representative of the study area meteorological conditions because there were no particular
meteorological anomalies in that year. Running the dispersion model with meteorological data for different
years could change the landfills footprint only in presence of extreme weather conditions that strongly
affect the annual average. In our opinion, the difference among years is generally minimal and the
uncertainty associated with the use of specific meteorological data is negligible.
Our results were adjusted for several confounders: age, socioeconomic position and variables related to the
environmental context (proximity to roads with heavy traffic, proximity to industrial sites, air quality) that
might otherwise distort the study association. In particular, high level of PM 
 (> 90 percentile of the
distribution vs < 50 percentile) was associated in our model with cardiovascular and respiratory
hospitalizations (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01–1.16 and HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.96–1.12, respectively). However, no
data were available on the personal habits of the subjects, which could have had a role in the diseases
investigated, especially cigarette smoking but also alcohol use, physical activity and obesity. The collection
of this information, through telephone interviews or home visits, would have been prohibitive for such a
large cohort, and the lack of this information may have biased the results because of confounding not
controlled in the analysis. It should be noted, however, that many personal habits are associated with
socioeconomic position. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the analysis that adjusted for
socioeconomic index also took into account others individual variables, including smoking. Moreover,
excess of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases were found also in children, and no excess
mortality/morbidity for cardiovascular diseases (indicative of most of the unmeasured lifestyle factors
including smoking) was found, despite the larger statistical power than for respiratory diseases. Therefore,
although residual confounding cannot be excluded, it is unlikely that the observed relationship between H 
S exposure and respiratory disturbances could be entirely due to unmeasured smoking habits and other
factors.
In conclusion, we found associations between H  S exposure from landfills and mortality from lung
cancer as well as mortality and morbidity for respiratory diseases. The link with respiratory diseases has
been observed in other studies and it is potentially related to irritant gases and other organic contaminants.
The excess of lung cancer is a relatively new finding.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
The impact of this case will negatively affect the lives of several
thousand tax paying people who live near the affected property.
There are plenty of locations that are not near population centers
that could be used for this purpose. I do not see that this zoning
change would benefit anyone other than Republic Services.
There has not been sufficient study done to determine how this
facility will affect the surrounding area and it's residents. Please
reconsider this zoning change.

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I absolutely disagree with the commissions ruling! The voters of
Peoria were recently asked to approve our general plan which
slated this specific area as IND2 - NOT as heavy industrial. This
is an absolute bait and switch on the voters of Peoria. Added to
this the community has made it CLEAR that they do not want
heavy industrial in this area, yet Republic has continued to push
for it. This ruling will open the door to other IND3 business which
we don't want. Heavy industrial will only breed more heavy
industrial to locate here, this will hurt property values. The people
who live closest in this area made a choice live by a power
station - NOT have a waste transfer station. I ask you to please
reconsider this ruling - soliciting & holding open houses and
catering to residents who don't live close to where this would be

located, these residents will have 0 concerns about where its put.
Let the City of Surprise put this in their city. This doesn't have the
community support of the local community where it is located-
which should be the commission PRIMARY concern!
Please reconsider and revoke this decision by the commission.

The area they have selected for the new recycling center is in
close proximity to an established development (Vistancia) and
other growing areas. This will impact the quality of life for those
neighboring communities. There is no reason that this facility
needs to be this close to a city that is still actively growing.

Commission Hearing
Date
01/27/2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
This project will change the established residential area to heavy
industrial use. There are established homes in this area, some of
which use ground well water, and what is being proposed can
mess with the water system that is currently in place for the well
water homeowners. In addition to this, it will be increasing traffic
to the area. As one of the commissioners stated in the previous
hearing "I would not want this in my backyard" so why would he
expect others to want it in theirs? There is a lot of vacant land
that is not around established residential areas closer to carefree
highway and the 17. They need to move this to an area that is
able to handle heavy industrial needs, not an established
residential area. Furthermore, republic services does not service
the area that they want this facility to be in.

Case# Z2021090 Hearing Date 1/27/22
This Station will be within a mile of MY HOME in Corta Bella. I
am Appealing this case as Following:
My greatest concerned that the smell of a dump will significantly
impact our lives! We live in an Upscale neighborhood and have
paid premium property taxes and home prices and now you think
we should have rodents and then coyote eating the rodents in
our Backyards and Front yards! Additionally the day and night
dump truck noise on 303, literally endless of deliveries a day! 
It appears that NO Environmental Impact Study done. The
proposed station will certainly IMPACT OUR INVIRONMENT. 
Lack of a study WILL result in future law suits against the both
the company and the CITY. And even might there had been- It

wasn't enough...Residents were NEVER polled or considered

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
It appeared to us that the decision on this case was reached by
the Commissioners even before the hearing. There seemed to be
a lack of interest on the part of the Commissioners. One of the
Commissioners, in fact, commented that he wouldn't want it in
his neighborhood, but it had to go somewhere. With the City of
Surprise benefiting the most from this project, why not pursue a
location within their boundaries. We respectfully request that the
Board revisit this case."

I object to the Waste Transfer Station at El Mirage and 303. The
Vistancia area is one of the fastest growing areas in the state
and this transfer station should be located in a more remote and
less intrusive area to prevent congestion and odors.

of the Subject Case
I live in the Dos Rios community. Putting a waste transfer station
that close to communities is hurting the air quality near the
homes, Will bring more traffic in already high traffic areas, and
decrease home values. We want our families to be able to go
outside without smelling trash. I can promise that if the officials of
Peoria do not stop to us from happening, they will not get any
votes from the Dos Rios community. It’s terrible that this is even
an idea, putting trash next to peoples homes!!

The commission ignored the overwhelming opposition from

adversely affected by the station. There was no guarantee that
odors and pests would not travel to the surrounding
neighborhoods. Neither the commission nor the applicant
sufficiently addressed why
the station could not be built further from residential

The commission failed to answer why conditions to mitigate odor
and pests would expire after 5 years,
per the Planning & Development Dept report, p. 22, letter O.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Rezoning this area from IND-2 IUPD to IND-3 IUPD makes
absolutely no sense considering the number of homes within
close proximity of it and it certainly does not make any
improvements to the area. Some homes are within 1 mile of it
and certainly many are within 2 miles.
Republic Services used a couple deceptive tactics in presenting
their case such as a letter from the Surprise, AZ mayor in which
he endorses this change but the Surprise city limits are many
miles away from it and wouldn't impact that city at all. This area
had several thousand residents against it, also the pictures they
showed of the area intentionally ignored the many homes just
south of the location.
I sincerely hope you'll reconsider the commission's bad decision

in approving this potential disaster.

Commission Hearing
Date

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
This area should NOT be rezoned for Industrial use because it
will violate Section 901.2 #14. "Any other office, laboratory,
manufacturing and assembling uses similar to those uses
enumerated herein which do not create any danger to the public
health, safety and general welfare in surrounding areas and
which do not create any offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust,
odor, heat or glare and which, by reason of high value in relation
to size and weight of merchandise received and shipped create
very little truck traffic."
It will bring noise, dust, ODOR and very high truck traffic within a
highly residential area. Also, there is a very high fire danger next
to a large a major electrical station. It is also a danger to public
health because of the pest infestation that all of these types of

trash facilities bring. 
DO NOT REZONE.

I am a registered voter and tax payer in Maricopa County. I will
be voting for those that make decisions in the best interest of
their constituents. I strongly oppose locating the West Wing
Recycling and Transfer in the proposed location. Once it is
rezoned, the rest of the developer's site is likely to be rezoned
the same which will negatively impact our home values and
quality of life. Further, Republic does not serve our community
yet we will be impacted by the truck traffic, noise. We are a 55+
community and more vulnerable, when they excavate the site
and disturb the earth there will be more cases of Valley Fever. A
location closer to their Buckeye landfill makes more sense. Skip
Hall the Mayor of Surprise Is looking to start back his recycling
program. Perhaps they are willing to help find a site for you and

offer incentives in Surprise.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Having this waste transfer station so close to our home would be
detrimental to our beautiful family community. The school bus
picks up and drops off in front of the housing development on El
Mirage right off the 303. El Mirage would quickly become a major
road for these waste transfer trucks causing more traffic and a
dangerous area for this community which is full of young kids.
This station can easily go further off the grid to not interfere with
where so many families are planting their roots. I would never
want to move into a home hear one of these stations, so I can
only imagine this will be a huge issue with the value of homes
nearby and those who want to sell later. I appreciate you taking
the time to read this. Thank you.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I'm opposed to heavy industrial rezoning near residential
neighborhoods. The proposed recycling & waste transfer is
approximately 3/4 of mile from my Corte Bella retirement
community and 1/2 mile from the Dos Rios residential
community. Our surrounding communities are concerned about
the diesel truck fumes, truck Jake sound braking, and the overall
negative impact on our quality of life. Since the Mayor of the City
of Surprise strongly supports Republic Services proposal, please
relocate the proposed recycling and waste transfer facility
somewhere in the City of Surprise. The City of Surprise is much
closer to Republic Services landfill in Buckeye. In short, put this
facility in a community that actually wants it!!

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I'm strongly opposed to heavy industrial rezoning for Republic
Services proposed recycling & waste transfer station at the West
Wing Industrial Park. The proposed location is in close proximity
to our retirement community and several other residential
neighborhoods. Spot rezoning 10 acres for Republic Services ,
will set a precedent for also rezoning the remaining 65 acres to
heavy industrial use. Diesel exhaust fumes and truck Jake
braking as trucks exit Rt 303 will impact the quality of life in the
nearby residential neighbors. Since City of Surprise Mayor, Skip
Hall, strongly supports Republic Services application for
rezoning, move the proposed location to the City of Surprise.
Surprise is closer to Republic Services landfill in Buckeye.

Case Number / Project
Name
Z2021090/WestWing Recycling & Transfer Station
Planning & Zoning
Commission Hearing
Date
1/27/2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
To: Maricopa County Board of Supervisors:
• Jack Sellers Supervisor, District 1 
• Thomas Galvin Supervisor, District 2 
• Bill Gates, Chairman, District 3 
• Clint Hickman Vice Chairman, District 4 
• Steve Gallardo Supervisor, District 5 
Maricopa Planning & Development:
• Adam Cannon, AICP, planner
• Case # Z2021090, Westwing Recycling and Transfer Station,
Zoning Commission approval date of 1/27/2022

• Reason for Appeal of the subject case:
1. Conditions of approval need clarification. 
2. Health, Safety, and Welfare concerns relative to site access,
water distribution system, and secondary Emergency Vehicle
(EV) access need to be addressed through additional conditions.
3. Carry over conditions relative to signage need to be removed.
The purpose of this letter is to appeal specific conditions of the
Zoning Commissions recent “approval with conditions” for the 10-
acre Westwing Recycling and Transfer Station.
The appeal includes a request for modifications to specific
conditions, as well as a request to add conditions that would
assure the 10-acre Westwing site meets Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), International Fire Code (IFC), and
specific sections of the Maricopa County Subdivision, Signage,
and Zoning Code (MCC).
The following text is divided into 3 categories;
Category 1: Modification of specific recommended conditions ‘a’
– ‘u’ as recommended and approved by the Zoning Commission
on 1/27/2022 (modifications are noted in RED).
Category 2: Request additional conditions of approval to address
Health, Safety, and Welfare of the general public that meets IFC,
EPA and MCC requirements (modifications are noted in RED).
Category 3: Removal of selected approved conditions
(modifications are noted in RED).
Category 1
Condition: 
d. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 
1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no
development approval is inferred by this review, including, but
not limited to number of proposed building lots/units, drainage
design, access, and roadway alignments. These items will be
addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to
the County for further review and/or entitlement. Specifically,
Plan of Development approval would include the entire 75 acres.
2. No permits for development of this project shall be issued until
permits for the construction of the required offsite infrastructure
are issued, constructed, and have received final acceptance by
the county and applicable utility purveyor. Development of the
site is contingent of offsite roadway and utility improvements to
access and serve the site. The offsite improvements are not
considered part of the entitlement for this application. Permitting
for the offsite improvements requires approval from a multitude of
permitting agencies (PA) as follows: 
a. El Mirage Road at Loop 303 (PA: ADOT) 
b. El Mirage Road from Loop 303 to E/W Connector Road (PA:
MCDOT) 
c. E/W Connector (Private) Road within FCDMC Owned Property

(McMicken Dam Outflow) (PA: FCDMC) 
d. Remainder of E/W (Private) Connector Road (PA: PND) 
e. ASLD approval for all public/private R/W 
f. Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) application and
approval as noted in email dated 9/20/2021 from Dennis J.
Patene, included on page 141 of the report to the Planning and
Zoning Commission dated 1/27/2022. 
Category 2- request additional conditions of approval to address
the following concerns:
1. Secondary access shall be provided as required by the
International Fire Code to serve the entire 75-acre site.
Secondary access shall be gated at a location that is
independent of the primary point of access per IFC D103.4. This
issue could be remedied by extending the east/west access road
to a point in the northeast corner of the site and continuing to a
point due north to existing N. 119th Avenue. The road extension
would also allow much better site access by the Fire Station
located approximately 2,200 feet to the north of the northeast
corner of the 75-acre site.
2. The Maricopa County Subdivision Regulations (MCSR)
restricts the length of a road terminating as a cul-de-sac at 1000
feet as shown on Plate 10 of the MCSR. The proposed overall
offsite and onsite engineering drawings submitted under
application Z2020029 show an approximate combined length of
approximately 5,500± feet, far exceeding the 1,000 foot
maximum.
It is important to note that the primary road to the east/west
direction cannot loop back onto itself within the 75 acre site as
the east-west connection from the El Mirage extension could still
be blocked and prevent Emergency vehicles from getting to the
site. As a result, there needs to be a connection to another
street. As noted in item 1 above, the only logical location for this
connection to occur is from the northeast corner of the 75-acre
site. Connection to N. 119th Avenue would require additional
easements across multiple properties and substantial
construction. 
3. Secondary access is required onto the 10-acre Transfer
Station to allow emergency vehicles quick ingress/egress. The
secondary access needs to meet IFC requirements. The gated
secondary access point shall be located in the northeast corner
of the 75-acre site.
4. Maximum length of a dead end, 12” diameter watermain is
1200 feet in most jurisdictions throughout the country. 
The reason for this limitation is related to potable water
consumption, in that, water within the watermain needs to “turn
over” on a frequent basis to prevent water stagnation within the
watermain supply. For instance, relative to this particular case, a
12” watermain, 2000 feet in length, can hold approximately

11,000± gallons of water. Potable water demand for a typical
residential unit is 250 gallons per day. At that consumption rate,
the “turn over” would take approximately 45 days. This a
problem.
Typically, a hydraulic study would be required to determine if
potable water demand and/or other water usage demand would
result in a range of acceptable “turn over” within the watermain. 
To remedy this issue, looping of a watermain is typically required
for a 12” diameter watermain over 1200 feet in length. In fact,
EPCOR, the water purveyor, states specifically in their design
guidelines that watermains should be looped unless there is no
other solution. In this case there is an alternative that would allow
looping to the existing watermain in N 119th Avenue.
Conclusion: The proposed watermain to serve the site appears to
be over 2500 feet in length, far exceeding the maximum length
allowed. As a result, the watermain needs to be looped and a
hydraulic study of the proposed system needs to be completed to
verify potable water and other site consumption demands will be
adequate to prevent water stagnation from occurring within the
water distribution system. This is a Health, Safety, and Welfare
concern.
5. The Arizona Fire and Medical Authority has stated in a letter
dated August 6, 2021 that a secondary access will be required as
part of The Westwing Recycling and Transfer Station and the
overall 75 acre parcel. 
NOTE: The IFC requires the secondary access to be a point
separate from the primary access (see IFC 104.3). Further note
that the subject site requires a secondary access that meets IFC
Section requirements as well. Both secondary access points
need to meet the current IFC requirements specified in Section 5,
more specifically 503.1.1, 503.1.2, 503.1.3, 503.2.1, 503.5,
503.5.1, 503.6. 
6. In addition, because the proposed building is greater than 30
feet in height an Aerial Fire Apparatus is required (see section
IFC D104 and D105). This should be stated as such in the
conditions of approval and verifies with AFMA that they have the
proper equipment to satisfy this IFC requirement. 
Category 3-Conditions to be Removed and Replaced
Conditions:
12. Freestanding Sign including Center Identification Signs: 
a. One (1) freestanding sign shall be allowed oriented and
located adjacent to the Loop 303 Freeway subject to the
following: 
1. Shall not exceed 60’ in height. 
2. Shall not exceed 250 sq. ft. in sign area per face. 
3. Shall not be included in the calculation of the total number of
other freestanding signs outlined below and/or wall signs
permitted. 
4. Minimum separation: 200’ separation from any other freeway

freestanding sign or off-site advertising sign. 
5. 50’ from non-freeway lot lines, 200’ from rural or residentially
zoned properties. 
6. No EMDs allowed with freeway freestanding sign. 
7. Base of sign must be at least 35% of the full sign width. 
b. All other freestanding signs shall comply with the following
Case #Z2021090 Page 23 of 24 development standards: 
1. Shall not exceed 150 sq. ft. in sign area. 
2. Shall not exceed 24’ provided that any signs within 100’ of a
rural or residential zone, unless developed for non-residential
use, shall not exceed 12’ in height; however, for each 5’ beyond
the 100’, the maximum may increase 1’ to the maximum height of
24’. 
c. May be a moving, rotating or revolving sign; however, no sign
shall rotate faster than seven (7) revolutions per minute. 
d. Remaining permitted standards of industrial signage that are
not shown herein shall be permitted. 
Replace with:
12. Freestanding Sign including Center Identification Signs shall
meet Chapter 14 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
This concludes my request for denial of the Zoning change until
such time that the above conditions and considerations have
been addressed and modified by county staff, AZ Fire and
Medical Authority, and Maricopa County planning and
development division in a manner that satisfies the public’s
Health, Safety, and Welfare concerns.
Adam Cannon has done an excellent job in addressing the
public’s concerns through the conditions of approval. Clearly this
is a project that has substantial opposition by the neighboring
communities.

backyard, which we just spent over $12,000.00 into. Having the
transfer station would mean we could not spend our loved time
outside with our two toddlers due to the inevitable smell that
would be draining from the station. On top of not being able to
use our backyard as we should be able to, this station would
dramatically decrease the value of our home. I hope and pray
that you hear how this would effect something we have worked
years for and finally saved enough to have what we’ve dreamed
of.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
I am concerned that this will negatively affect our property value
as well as our quality of life in our neighborhood. This will
increase traffic, noise and unwanted odor. Considering we just
moved into this neighborhood and we’re excited to live in a nicer,
peaceful area,we are very disappointed to hear news of this
transfer station. It’s only a few miles from the dump off of the 60,
so seems unnecessary to build at this location.

Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Reason for Appeal: Appeal of Planning and Zoning Commission
Recommendation to Approve Republic Services application to
rezone 10 acres at West Wing Industrial Park to Heavy Industrial
use.
We live in a retirement community and are concerned about
heavy industrial use zoning in close proximity to our
neighborhood as well as to those recently developed. I
understand that the City of Surprise Mayor supports re-zoning to
heavy industrial and I would suggest that the recycling & waste
transfer station be considered for an unpopulated area in the City
of Surprise which borders Loop 303 and could therefore also be
closer to the Republic Services landfill in Buckeye.

Date
Jan 27, 2022
Reason for the Appeal
of the Subject Case
Appeal of Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation to
Approve Republic Services application to rezone 10 acres at
WestWing Industrial Park to Heavy Industrial use.
The documents Republic Services submitted to the Planning &
Development include a strong letter of support from the City of
Surprise Mayor, Skip Hall, and a Republic Service supporting
petition signed by residents of the City of Surprise. The City of
Surprise is not directly impacted by the proposed WestWing
location, like Corte Bella, Dos Rios, Crossriver, Rancho Cabrillo,
Sunleya and Coldwater. The impacted residents in these six
neighborhoods submitted an opposing petition with over 5000
signatures and have written letters opposing heavy industrial

rezoning in their backyard. It would be a win-win for the Republic
Services to negotiate a land deal with the City Surprise, since the
City of Surprise is located along Rt 300 and is much closer to
Republic Services’ landfill in Buckeye. The Mayor of City of
Surprise has submitted his written support to the Zoning
Commission and City of Surprise residents have signed Republic
Services supporting petition for a recycling & waste transfer in
THEIR backyard. So, let’s resolve this with a win-win and move
the location of the recycle & waste transfer station to the City of
Surprise.

As you will see, there are substantial, Health, Safety, and Welfare issues associated with site access and water

Dear Mr.  Hickman 
 
I will not be able to attend the hearing on the project because of the time it is being held but I want my voice heard. I 
hope I have chosen the correct venue.

recycling and transfer station anywhere near my home.  
Regardless of what has been guaranteed,  there will be odor, large trucks on El Mirage, increased rodent population, and 
a decrease in my property values.  
There are many other properties. I truly don’t care how convenient this property is.  
Please reconsider. There are many others who agree with me. There are many who are not aware of the hearing. I just 
found out recently.  
There were 4,418 signatures on a petition at Change.org to stop this Transfer and Recycling center. 
Please do not approve this project.

To: Maricopa County Board of Supervisors: 
• Jack Sellers Supervisor, District 1  
• Thomas Galvin Supervisor, District 2  
• Bill Gates, Chairman, District 3  
• Clint Hickman Vice Chairman, District 4  
• Steve Gallardo Supervisor, District 5  
 
Maricopa Planning & Development: 
• Adam Cannon, AICP, planner 
 
• Case # Z2021090, Westwing Recycling and Transfer Station, Zoning Commission 
approval date of 1/27/2022 
 
• Reason for Appeal of the subject case: 
 
1. Conditions of approval need clarification.  
2. Health, Safety, and Welfare concerns relative to site access, water distribution 
system, and secondary Emergency Vehicle (EV) access need to be addressed 
through additional conditions. 
3. Carry over conditions relative to signage need to be removed. 
The purpose of this letter is to appeal specific conditions of the Zoning Commissions recent 
“approval with conditions” for the 10-acre Westwing Recycling and Transfer Station. 
The appeal includes a request for modifications to specific conditions, as well as a request to 
add conditions that would assure the 10-acre Westwing site meets Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA), International Fire Code (IFC), and specific sections of the Maricopa County 
Subdivision, Signage, and Zoning Code (MCC). 
The following text is divided into 3 categories; 
Category 1: Modification of specific recommended conditions ‘a’ – ‘u’ as recommended and 
approved by the Zoning Commission on 1/27/2022 (modifications are noted in RED). 
Category 2: Request additional conditions of approval to address Health, Safety, and Welfare of 
the general public that meets IFC, EPA and MCC requirements (modifications are noted in RED). 
Category 3: Removal of selected approved conditions (modifications are noted in RED).

Category 1 
Condition:  
d. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:  
1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is 
inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number of proposed building 
lots/units, drainage design, access, and roadway alignments. These items will be 
addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further 
review and/or entitlement. Specifically, Plan of Development approval would include 
the entire 75 acres. 
2. No permits for development of this project shall be issued until permits for the 
construction of the required offsite infrastructure are issued, constructed, and have 
received final acceptance by the county and applicable utility purveyor. Development 
of the site is contingent of offsite roadway and utility improvements to access and serve 
the site. The offsite improvements are not considered part of the entitlement for this 
application. Permitting for the offsite improvements requires approval from a multitude 
of permitting agencies (PA) as follows:  
a. El Mirage Road at Loop 303 (PA: ADOT)  
b. El Mirage Road from Loop 303 to E/W Connector Road (PA: MCDOT)  
c. E/W Connector (Private) Road within FCDMC Owned Property (McMicken 
Dam Outflow) (PA: FCDMC)  
d. Remainder of E/W (Private) Connector Road (PA: PND)  
e. ASLD approval for all public/private R/W  
f. Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) application and approval as 
noted in email dated 9/20/2021 from Dennis J. Patene, included on page 141 
of the report to the Planning and Zoning Commission dated 1/27/2022.  
 
Category 2- request additional conditions of approval to address the following 
concerns: 
1. Secondary access shall be provided as required by the International Fire Code to serve 
the entire 75-acre site. Secondary access shall be gated at a location that is 
independent of the primary point of access per IFC D103.4. This issue could be 
remedied by extending the east/west access road to a point in the northeast corner of 
the site and continuing to a point due north to existing N. 119th Avenue. The road 
extension would also allow much better site access by the Fire Station located 
approximately 2,200 feet to the north of the northeast corner of the 75-acre site.

2. The Maricopa County Subdivision Regulations (MCSR) restricts the length of a road 
terminating as a cul-de-sac at 1000 feet as shown on Plate 10 of the MCSR. The 
proposed overall offsite and onsite engineering drawings submitted under application 
Z2020029 show an approximate combined length of approximately 5,500± feet, far 
exceeding the 1,000 foot maximum. 
It is important to note that the primary road to the east/west direction cannot loop 
back onto itself within the 75 acre site as the east-west connection from the El Mirage 
extension could still be blocked and prevent Emergency vehicles from getting to the 
site. As a result, there needs to be a connection to another street. As noted in item 1 
above, the only logical location for this connection to occur is from the northeast 
corner of the 75-acre site. Connection to N. 119th Avenue would require additional 
easements across multiple properties and substantial construction.  
3. Secondary access is required onto the 10-acre Transfer Station to allow emergency 
vehicles quick ingress/egress. The secondary access needs to meet IFC requirements. 
The gated secondary access point shall be located in the northeast corner of the 75-
acre site. 
 
4. Maximum length of a dead end, 12” diameter watermain is 1200 feet in most 
jurisdictions throughout the country.  
The reason for this limitation is related to potable water consumption, in that, water 
within the watermain needs to “turn over” on a frequent basis to prevent water 
stagnation within the watermain supply. For instance, relative to this particular case, 
a 12” watermain, 2000 feet in length, can hold approximately 11,000± gallons of 
water. Potable water demand for a typical residential unit is 250 gallons per day. At 
that consumption rate, the “turn over” would take approximately 45 days. This a 
problem. 
Typically, a hydraulic study would be required to determine if potable water demand 
and/or other water usage demand would result in a range of acceptable “turn over” 
within the watermain.  
To remedy this issue, looping of a watermain is typically required for a 12” diameter 
watermain over 1200 feet in length. In fact, EPCOR, the water purveyor, states 
specifically in their design guidelines that watermains should be looped unless there is 
no other solution. In this case there is an alternative that would allow looping to the 
existing watermain in N 119th Avenue. 
Conclusion: The proposed watermain to serve the site appears to be over 2500 feet in 
length, far exceeding the maximum length allowed. As a result, the watermain needs 
to be looped and a hydraulic study of the proposed system needs to be completed to 
verify potable water and other site consumption demands will be adequate to prevent 
water stagnation from occurring within the water distribution system. This is a Health, 
Safety, and Welfare concern.

5. The Arizona Fire and Medical Authority has stated in a letter dated August 6, 2021 
that a secondary access will be required as part of The Westwing Recycling and 
Transfer Station and the overall 75 acre parcel.  
NOTE: The IFC requires the secondary access to be a point separate from the primary 
access (see IFC 104.3).  Further note that the subject site requires a secondary access 
that meets IFC Section requirements as well. Both secondary access points need to 
meet the current IFC requirements specified in Section 5, more specifically 503.1.1, 
503.1.2, 503.1.3, 503.2.1, 503.5, 503.5.1, 503.6.  
6. In addition, because the proposed building is greater than 30 feet in height an Aerial 
Fire Apparatus is required (see section IFC D104 and D105). This should be stated as 
such in the conditions of approval and verifies with AFMA that they have the proper 
equipment to satisfy this IFC requirement.  
 
Category 3-Conditions to be Removed and Replaced 
Conditions: 
12.        Freestanding Sign including Center Identification Signs:  
a.          One (1) freestanding sign shall be allowed oriented and located adjacent to the 
Loop 303 Freeway subject to the following:  
1. Shall not exceed 60’ in height.  
2. Shall not exceed 250 sq. ft. in sign area per face.  
3. Shall not be included in the calculation of the total number of other 
freestanding signs outlined below and/or wall signs permitted.  
4. Minimum separation: 200’ separation from any other freeway freestanding 
sign or off-site advertising sign.  
5. 50’ from non-freeway lot lines, 200’ from rural or residentially zoned 
properties.  
6. No EMDs allowed with freeway freestanding sign.  
7. Base of sign must be at least 35% of the full sign width.  
b.         All other freestanding signs shall comply with the following Case #Z2021090 Page 
23 of 24 development standards:  
1. Shall not exceed 150 sq. ft. in sign area.  
2. Shall not exceed 24’ provided that any signs within 100’ of a rural or 
residential zone, unless developed for non-residential use, shall not exceed 12’

in height; however, for each 5’ beyond the 100’, the maximum may increase 1’ 
to the maximum height of 24’.  
c. May be a moving, rotating or revolving sign; however, no sign shall rotate faster than 
seven (7) revolutions per minute.  
d. Remaining permitted standards of industrial signage that are not shown herein shall 
be permitted.  
Replace with: 
12.        Freestanding Sign including Center Identification Signs shall meet Chapter 14 of the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. 
This concludes my request for denial of the Zoning change until such time that the above conditions and 
considerations have been addressed and modified by county staff, AZ Fire and Medical Authority, and 
Maricopa County planning and development division in a manner that satisfies the public’s Health, 
Safety, and Welfare concerns. 
Adam Cannon has done an excellent job in addressing the public’s concerns through the conditions of 
approval. Clearly this is a project that has substantial opposition by the neighboring communities.

Hello, 
 
I am not sure how repulic services has almost 500 signatures in favor of the station when EVERYONE who lives over here 
is against it. There is a petition with over 5,000 signatures against this. We do NOT want this anywhere near residential 
neighborhoods. We fought to have this moved away from 115th ave and happy valley and what did they do, moved 
across the freeway. That is absolutely ridiculous and should not be tolerated. I lived near one of these before and it 
SMELLED to high heaven, especially after it rained and during the summer. It also caught fire a few times. They want this 
one near a power plant and it is EXTREMELY dangerous, especially if it catches fire. Please help fight to get rid of this. We 
don't want it near our beautiful neighborhoods. We spend a LOT of money to live in this area. Getting it re‐zoned to 
heavy industrial invites other companies to build here which is not OK with ANYONE. We the people demand this! Thank

Dear Mr. Hickman, 
 
As a resident of Maricopa County and a homeowner within 1/2 mile of this project, I am appealing the rezoning of this 
property. 
According to the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 1, Section 104, entitled "Purpose" it  states "This amended

the citizens of Maricopa county;...to protect the character and stability of residential, business and industrial area..." 
It is my strong opinion that a waste and recycling facility located near thousands of residential dwellings does not 
comply with the Zoning Ordinance. When I built my new home in Sunleya in Sun City West 2 1/2 years ago, there was no 
indication that a transfer station would be considered less than a 1/2 mile from my home. Thousands of residents living

not a few hundred yards. Under the best circumstances I can imagine unpleasant odor, increased truck traffic, insects, 
noise, rats, blowing debris off of trucks, and probably more issues I haven't even thought of yet. Listen to the  residents

Dear Clint Hickman, 
 
I understand the difficult faced in finding a suitable site for the Surprise waste transfer station needed by the city of 
surprise. The current proposed location of 303 and El Mirage is not a sutable location for this station.  
 
This neighborhood is at risk of becoming  
overburdened by negative impact facilities. We have already seen the impact from the WestWing Substation. The waste 
transfer station will compound the negative economic impact by further lowering property values and hindering 
community development plans.  Moreover this is another facility that can create health, environmental, and quality of 
living issues. These are just a few of the environmental justice concerns our community has about the currently selected 
site for the waste transfer station.  
 
It is irresponsible to cluster Joe Max wastewater reclamation, WestWing substation and this waste transfer station in 
such close proximity. This area is becoming victim to cluster zoning. The clustering of these facilities have negative 
impacts on neighboring residents by increased traffic, noise, odors, and litter. The city of Surprise need to equally share 
community burdens and not just cluster the burden on one area.    
 
In short the request to build the WestWing waste transfer station must be denied. 
 
Thank you, 
‐Ashley Reichelt

Hello, 
 
I feel this was poorly handled today. I feel as we were speaking and no one was listening. As I said in the meeting the 
transfer station that is about a mile from my husband's work brings such a awful smell. Especially in the summer. This is 
going to bring so much traffic. Yes it was mentioned that the traffic would only be on 303. Which this may be true for 
the dump trucks. But this doesn't apply for the public that will be bringing in their stuff to dump. The dump by my 
husband's work gets such a long line of residents to dump their stuff. Rather it be landscaper, general public etc. The line 
is long I know one time we sat in its for 45 mins. This is definitely going to bring down our home value rather you see the 
transfer station or not. You will for sure smell it. Why cant they take this further away to a non residential area. There's 
so much room. We work hard to get our houses and we work hard to keep them. Please just have reconsideration to 
move it away from us. This in no way should be built so close to communities. 
 
 
Thank you,

We have worked so hard to make a home for our family here for the last 16 years and love this area. We moved into the

hard for up.  The smell, trash, traffic and noise that these facilities cause will not be worth it.  They won’t even be a 
benefit to our community.  It feels like the planning and zoning commissioners just did not care what it will do to us. 
Their minds were made up before the vote.

Case #: Z2021090

My Name: Shelby Colegrove 
Phone: 623‐297‐3717 
Email: Shelby.colegrove@yahoo.com 
 
 
Me. Hickman, 
 
I am a resident of the Coldwater Ranch community in Peoria off of the 303 and Happy Valley Rd. I am 
writing today to make you aware that there is a proposed zone change request for a Republic Services 
waste transfer station to be built at North El Mirage and the 303. Our community is extremely 
concerned with this proposal and absolutely do not want it approved.  
 
When Republic Services proposed their last zoning request in the middle of our residential community, 
we fought hard and they supposedly “listened” and withdrew. Only to find their next proposed place of 
residence less than a mile down the road.   
 
Their newest proposed location is in a light industrial zoned plot (still surrounded by residential 
communities), that they are trying to rezone to heavy industrial. Not only would this set a precedent for 
similar heavy‐industrial companies to swoop on in and take over this residential area, but it’s close 
proximity to a sub‐station is a disaster waiting to happen‐ as proved by many recent transfer station 
fires.  
 
Not only will this eye‐sore of a station diminish our home values, but it will increase traffic down one of 
only two entrances into our community (el mirage), increase heavy truck traffic (easily 100 roll off trucks 
per day), bring flies and bugs, bring rodents and birds (which will transmit disease), generate loud noise, 
emit noxious odors (not only from the trash but also from the vehicles), produce toxins that will make us 
ill (including cancer, birth defects, respiratory disease , skin irritations, blood infections and genetic

This will increase traffic, and have a negative impact to our neighborhoods. The traffic on happy valley is is already 
riddled with accidents and some of our homes only have 1 way in and 1 way out, adding the increased traffic will 
severely impact the area.  The need for a transfer station is not to support our Area.  It is to support Republic,  they have 
stated this will be used for trash picked up in the cave creek area and also used to support the city of Surprise recycling 
Program. I understand that the mayor of Surprise supports this, and if he supports it so much he can have it built within 
his city limits. One of the board members said today they wouldn't want it in their backyard, but voted for it to be in 
mine.

Our voices have spoken, not only once, but twice, against this issue and should be taken seriously. You 
are the elected official who represents the voice of all hardworking homeowners who were established in 
these communities well before Republic Services tried to pass this facility. Please listen to us. 
Additionally, please remember that you stated you wanted Republic Services to look for a site far away 
from established communities. Therefore, please stand your ground and vote no and encourage your 
fellow board members to do the same. Thank you for your time and for supporting your constituents.

Dear Mr. Hickman, 
 
As I’m sure you already know, the planning and zoning commission approved the rezone for the building of the 
Westwing Transfer Station. Nearly 6,000 residents have voiced their opposition to this rezone and facility. Republic 
Services does not service the waste needs of the nearby homes and will be shipping in Surprise’s trash to our backyards. 
There is no benefit to having this in our North Peoria/Sun City backyards. RS had to go nearly 10 miles away to have any 
support for this facility. This is not true support because why would someone who lives 10 miles away care about a 
facility being built in this location? RS did not go door to door looking for support in the communities that will be actually 
impacted by the transfer station because they know it would not be there.  
 
I’m begging you to please keep your word and vote no on this rezone and transfer station. You are the last line of 
defense and strongest advocate for us hardworking homeowners who were already established in these communities 
well before RS tried to pass this facility. Please remember that you said you wanted them to look for a site far away from 
established communities and then they turned around and moved it only a mile down the road. In fact, one of the 
planning commissioners even said that he would not want this in his backyard but then still proceeded to vote yes. How 
encouraging  and fair is that statement to the very people whose lives will be impacting daily by this facility. Please stand 
your ground and vote no and encourage your fellow board members to as well. Thanks for your time and for looking out 
for the little man.

Dear Mr. Hickman,  
 
I am reaching out to you both as a member of the West Valley community and as a parent of 3 young kids. We recently 
relocated to North Peoria in the Coldwater Ranch community, due to it being a beautiful city, great schools, wonderful 
scenery, safe environment and friendly community. We thought it was the best place where we could raise our 3 kids in 
this wonderful community.  
 
It was devastating to find out that there is a possibility that a waste transfer station could be built in the area, close to 
our community Coldwater Ranch. I am reaching out to you with big hope that our voices, and the voices of many 
families in the area will be heard and we can avoid the waste transfer station to be built in the area.  
 
We do not want those waste trucks on our roads polluting the environment every day, we do not want a waste transfer 
location in our proximity bringing disease, awful smell, rodents, polluting waters, and heavy metals. We do not want the 
waste transfer station to bring down the value of our homes in Coldwater Ranch, Vistancia, Sun City.  
 
Please help us say NO to the waste transfer station at Happy Valley and 303. I know that as a 4‐th generation Arizonan 
you love West Valley as much as we do, and you have the power to help us keep the environment clean and offer fresh 
air for our kids.  
 
Please say NO to the waste transfer station. I know you have the power to keep North Peoria a safe place! 
 
Thank you for your time and for all your support!

Subject: Zoning Change Case Z 
 
Dear Mr. Hickman and Office, 
 
 
I am writing to express my extreme opposition to the passing of the zone change to allow the building of the WestWing 
Transfer Station. I have many reasons to oppose the building of this site, the most important is that my home will be within 
a .5 miles of the proposed building and will therefore have a direct negative effect on mine and my family's daily lives. I 
saw that the staff released a report in support of the building of the transfer station and I am hoping that the Maricopa 
County Board of Supervisors, holds the line and actually listens to the voices of the citizens they represent. Over 5000 
citizens have voiced their opposition, as compared to 1200 in support. When looking at the radius maps supplied in the 
staff report, almost all of those in support, live close to 10 miles away from the proposed location and are not going to be 
effect by this facility like the surrounding resident of Sun  
City/North Peoria. 
 
 
I am a resident of the Crossriver community in Sun City off of the 303 and El Mirage. Our community is extremely 
concerned with this proposal and absolutely do not want it approved.  
 
When Republic Services proposed their last zoning request at 115th and Happy Valley, we fought hard and they 
supposedly “listened” and withdrew. Only to find their next proposed place of residence about a mile down the road. This 
is a slap in the face to our communities as we strongly showed that this facility is not welcome around our homes. 
 
Their newest proposed location is in a light industrial zoned plot (still surrounded by residential communities), that they are 
trying to rezone to heavy industrial. Not only would this set a precedent for similar heavy-industrial companies to swoop 
on in and take over this residential area, but it’s close proximity to a sub-station is a disaster waiting to happen- as proved 
by many recent transfer station fires. Even though they have fire suppressors in place, that are within the fire marshal's 
regulations, they have admitted that fires have and are likely to occur in these facilities. If this did happen, and their fire 
suppressors happened to fail, the implications could be catastrophic for thousands of families and business.  
 
Not only will this eye-sore of a station diminish our home values, but it will increase traffic down one of only two entrances 
into our community (el mirage), increase heavy truck traffic (easily 100 roll off trucks per day), bring flies and bugs, bring 
rodents and birds (which will transmit disease), generate loud noise, emit noxious odors (not only from the trash but also 
from the vehicles), produce toxins that will make us ill (including cancer, birth defects, respiratory disease , skin irritations, 
blood infections and genetic mutations), create litter in our neighborhoods and on the surrounding roadways for miles, 
impact our air quality, and impact the local infrastructure by destroying and deteriorating the roads. All in all, it will destroy 
our health, destroy our community, and cripple our home prices. This is NOT a welcomed request/proposal whatsoever. 
 
Land planning is done in advance for a reason. It is unfair to change land to heavy industrial so close to the established 
homes of so many residents. This proposed location is directly in the middle of the landfill off of the 60 and the current 
waste transfer station off of the 17 and Happy Valley. There is no actual need to put a station at this location besides the 
greed of Republic Services. They do not provide service to any of the direct surrounding communities and would only 
bring negative consequences to our lives. Both Parks and Sons and the City of Peoria, the two companies who actually 
run waste services for the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, have both said that they have no plans to use the

45
facility for their trucks and our actual waste and RS has even stated that "they hope the company eventually use the 
transfer station." Republic Services will be quite frankly, hauling in a completely different city's waste to our backyards. In 
fact, Republic Services pushed a campaign in the city of Surprise to get false support for the building of this site. The vast 
majority of people that Republic Services got to voice support for the transfer station live close to ten miles away, which is 
shown in the maps provided in the staff report. The area directly surrounding the proposed transfer station is undeniably 
red and in opposition to the zone change/transfer station. Republic Services also got these Surprise residents to show 
support for the transfer station by saying it could bring back the city's recycling program, but when asked by the zoning 
staff to provide data that the transfer station could actually reinstate Surprise recycling, they were unable to do so. So 
Republic Services was pushing questionable promises on people who live very far away from the proposed location to 
make it seem like there is a strong citizen support for the West Wing Transfer Station. I guarantee that if these Surprise 
residents were told the building would be built within a mile or so of their homes, their actual support would decrease or 
disappear completely, including the support of the Surprise Mayor. Of course the Surprise Mayor would be in support of 
this transfer station, a facility to benefit his/her citizens without having any of its negative consequences that come along 
with it, within their city's limits. If this transfer station is to benefit the city of Surprise, then it should be built in the city of 
Surprise and not in North Peoria/Sun City. There is plenty of already industrial zoned land off the 303 in Surprise that RS 
could build this facility and then they would be in the area that they are actually servicing. It truly feels like the residents of 
North Peoria/Sun City are getting dumped on by this company to only generate money for RS and provide benefits for a 
completely different city. There is no benefit, only negatives, for the people who live directly around the proposed site and 
that is quite frankly wrong. Please ask yourself honestly about that if a facility of this sort was going to be built within a half 
mile of your own home, that was bought way before any industrial zoning land changes occurred, how would you want the 
zoning committee to vote? I'm sure it would not be in support.  
 
 
Please listen to our voices and keep with the city planning that has already been established. Republic services needs to 
move away from our homes and into a currently zoned heavy industrial location. Thank you for your time.

Good afternoon Rachel, 
 
I am a resident of the Coldwater Ranch community in Peoria off of the 303 and Happy Valley Rd. I am writing today to 
make you aware that there is a proposed zone change request for a Republic Services waste transfer station to be built 
at North El Mirage and the 303. Our community is extremely concerned with this proposal and absolutely do not want it

request/proposal whatsoever. 
 
Myself, our community and our surrounding communities do not support this happening and would like our voices and 
concerns to be taken into consideration.
