Ditch the Dump. It’s Lake Worth it.

BAP Kennor Landfill, LLC is trying to utilize a dormant landfill permit to authorize a recycling facility on property that has never received waste or operated as a landfill. In so doing, the applicant is sidestepping much of the community engagement process normally available when permitting new landfill projects.

Silver Creek Road is a major thoroughfare in the area that is already congested from traffic to a nearby facility - Silver Creek Materials - as well as to surrounding areas of the Lake Worth area. The addition of more heavy vehicle traffic will not only deteriorate the road further but will also add to the existing congestion experienced by the community.

Additionally, the proposed facility could severely impact the Silver Creek tributary located adjacent to the facility as well as Lake Worth, a primary source of drinking water for residents of Fort Worth.

Lastly, additional air pollution caused by the facility could greatly affect our community’s most vulnerable, including those with respiratory conditions, children and pregnant women.
