Duplin Citizens Are Concerned About Proposed Landfill:
A new University of North Carolina School of Public
Health study released by a local citizens group found
that Duplin County residents remain concerned about the
potential for declining air quality, contamination of
their wells, and lost opportunities for future parks and
outdoor activities. The report, “A Community Health
and Demographic Survey Near a Proposed Landfill Site in
Northwestern Duplin County, NC”, found slightly
elevated rates for allergies and asthma, as self-reported
by residents, already existed in a two mile radius around
the proposed site near Faison.
