We don't pretend to be experts at building transfer stations or predicting landslides. We have invested in the expertise of professionals who do know what they are talking about and do not have any sort of obligation to the county. The issue is that to build and re-grade the land below us for this transfer station, the foot of the hillside will be compromised. The already established businesses at the bottom of the hill didn't require major land re-distribution or the destruction of protected wetlands. The fact that the county is gambling on the stability of our hill because they prefer this location over a much less volatile location in Auburn is no laughing matter. If we do lose our case, I hope you, Algona resident, enjoy enduring the years of road construction on West Valley Highway the county has also tacked on to this relocation, and I pray to God that no matter what happens, our hillside maintains its stability for our safety and the safety of all Auburn valley residents.
