Human Excreta is Covering Up Parrish in Alabama, Mayor Laments
Mayor Hall worried about the hot season
Truckloads of human dung are being conveyed to the rural community in Alabama rail yard at the moment, and it doesn’t look like the amount of the vehicles will come to an end soon. The weight of the dung is estimated to be 11 million pounds, although some people call it ‘biotrash’, the members of this humble town located in Parrish see this as pure semantics.
The occupants of the town don’t want to have any of it. The human garbage didn’t just arrive, it’s been dumped next to the town for close to eight weeks, causing extreme pungent stinks like one decaying animal dead body, and the unpleasant smell is spreading fast.
As if that wasn’t enough already, the dung didn’t even belong to the residents. In the past year, the management that is in charge of waste control and amenities based in New York, with another one located in New Jersey, are the ones responsible for this bio trash transportation, dumping heavy weight of feces that is measured in tons for Big Sky Environmental, one privately owned garbage lot based in Adamsville, Alabama. However last January, West Jefferson, a close by town, made a case against the garbage company, Big Sky, and ordered it to stop the storage of the scum in the neighborhood.
Positive Results
Even though that step yielded positive results, the outcome was detrimental to Parrish because the heap of dung which was on the motion was diverted to the town for storage, and that’s because a law on zoning that could have stopped such action, is not in place.
The mayor for Parrish, Heather Hall, explained that she’s trying her best and putting all her efforts into the matter to move the pungent refuse away from the town. She confessed that the situation is terrible. A week ago, she had a meeting with the governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey. During the discussion, Ivey in the company of other lawmakers from Montgomery assured Hall that the state would assist in finding a solution to the problem. Hall believes that the officials are working underground to assist Parrish, but no response nor solution has been given since weeks ago after the meeting.
The worried mayor complained bitterly about the offensive odour that penetrates everywhere. Railyard stands opposite one field for baseball and followed by another field for softball. The measurement for Parrish is just around two sq miles, so it brings everywhere and everything closer to the source of the stench.
She lamented last Tuesday that the situation is adversely cutting down the value of living because children cannot play outdoors, families cannot relax on porches. She’s worried about the weather in Parrish that has reached 82 degrees.
The Parrish’s health at risk
In spite of these hazards, Hall is being reassured by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and Environmental Protection Agency that the dung doesn’t contain any danger since its biowaste grading is expectedly Grade A and not crude sewage that causes the uncommon scent.
Hall is ready to trust their professional judgment, but it doesn’t change the discomfort she’s feeling along with the rest of the occupants in Parrish. She said that she has to believe them that it doesn’t have any health risks for her people, apart from its bad odor.
Whereas she admitted that she couldn’t guarantee the safety of asthmatic residents and people with breathing difficulty. The distance between the houses around the community and the rail yard is not up to 51 yards, she said. Flies invasion into people’s homes is another factor because their health cannot be assured. Attempts were made to reach Big Sky for questioning, but responses are yet to come forth.
Surprisingly, there are other towns apart from Parrish that also go through this problem of dung waste disposal. Reports show that Birmingham is not left out as its residents also deal with not less than 80 feces-filled train vehicles that arrived their town in the first month of this year.
Hall recalled that there was a time when 253 overwhelmed tractor-trailer of dung came into Parrish. She pointed out that people should know, it’s not appropriate to dump this dreck in residential areas. Other places exist like the industrial communities where such can be accommodated, but locations like Parrish should be spared, she appealed.
