On Aug. hundreds of area residents packed Crofton Elementary School to voice their concerns about Tolson & Associates' proposal to build a rubble landfill at the end of Capitol Raceway Road.

Tolson and Associates submitted an application to build a  72-acre landfill south of the Piney Orchard and Four Seasons communities. 

Crofton First’s Tim Berkoff and several other neighbors voiced concerns about the possibility of construction dust filling the air around the site. Berkoff said the rubble landfill plans come at a time when the community is still concerned with fly ash and ground water safety around the Waugh Chapel South development.

Several neighbors also questioned the possibility of asbestos entering the Crofton-Gambrills area through the demolition debris.

Patch has video of the neighbors voicing their dust and asbestos concerns. Since the Aug. 18 public hearing did not include response to questions, we only have the stakeholders’ statements. The MDE responses to their questions will be mailed to the respective parties at a later date.
