Club 3000 - Ohio Landfills

Club 3000
PO Box 649
Bolivar, OH 44612

HISTORY

Club 3000 was formed in response to the announced intention, in 1987, to locate a solid waste landfill in Southern Stark County, Ohio. The landfill was to be built north of the Tuscarawas County line and astride the Big Indian water aquifer, the primary source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in Tuscarawas and Stark County. Club 3000 opposed the construction of such a facility at this location.

Starting in 1990 and continuing to present, Club 3000 has monitored the CountyWide Landfill in keeping with signed agreements with the Landfill authorities and the EPA to ensure compliance with standing regulations and guard against land and water pollution.

Other activities undertaken include educating and informing the general public about the possible effects of landfills on the water, land, air and general health and welfare of the community through meetings and the provision of speakers. Club 3000 also conducts research on water pollution and the long-term effects of landfills.

With the recent announced proposal to expand and enlarge the CountyWide Landfill, concerned community members have reenergized Club 3000 for the purpose of: monitoring landfill compliance with EPA regulations; guard against land and water pollution; educate the public about the possible environmental and health effects of the proposed landfill expansion and enlargement; and pursue all possible legal avenues to block the expansion of the CountyWide Landfill . Club 3000 is a 501 (3)(c) tax exempt certified organization. Donations to Club 3000 are tax exempt.

PURPOSE

Club 3000 is organized exclusively for one or more of the purposes as specified in Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

SPECIFICALLY, CLUB 3000 IS ORGANIZED TO:

Promote the general health and welfare of the community through educational activities about the possible effects of landfills on our water, land and air and the health and economic well being of individual citizens and the community as a whole.

Monitor landfill compliance with standing regulations, and in collaboration with government agencies, guard against land and water pollution.

The above purposes and related activities are achieved by public action organized by Club 3000.

Public meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month for the purpose of educating, informing and activating the public. Relevant information is disseminated through the local media, local government newsletters and the Club 3000 web site.

Club 3000 utilizes legal council, both volunteer and paid, to protect our air, water and land from pollution.
