Stop the Pig Farm!
Grant and Sarah Hoover are seeking approval for a 500 head industrial hog farm on their property at 5071 Bachman Road in Upper Milford Township. The project will substantially affect the quality of life of the surrounding residences. Your help is needed to protect and defend the neighborhood from this threat.
Risks to Our Quality of Life
- The Smell: The fresh air that blows through our yards and homes will be replaced with the smells of manure, dead pigs and the fumes from trucks and other machinery.
- Noise: Hog farms of this capacity require large fans to exhaust the heat and stink out of the building. Forget about those peaceful, quiet nights on the mountain.
- Groundwater Contamination: All homes in the area have private wells. Manure and its by-products can find their way into your water. Who will pay for the water quality monitoring and treatment of your well?
- Decreased Property Values: Real estate transaction history demonstrates that homes around hog farms have their property values reduced by 10-50%.
Our neighborhood is one where nobody would consider doing anything that would affect the quality of life of those around them, even for a profit. It's important for us and our future generations to maintain this moral, ethical and spiritual principle.
