The department will be monitoring the progress of the cleanup and ensuring that the site is properly restored. “We understand the concerns of our residents and we are committed to resolving this issue promptly and effectively,” added Dr. Smith. “We encourage anyone with information about illegal dumping to contact the health department.” Residents are reminded that illegal dumping is a serious offense that poses significant health and environmental risks. The health department urges the community to properly dispose of waste materials at designated disposal sites or through licensed waste haulers.
