First time poster, long time lurker, so forgive me if this may have been posted elsewhere.

Any thoughts on possible health hazards and long-term effects on citizens within the town's radius? This is only around 75 miles away from me, and I know that the EPA says no, but given the nature of the pesticides (which are Methomyl and Thiodicarb), I think that there may end up being more to this in the long run.

Your thoughts, fellow ATS'ers?
