  • Carol Bitting Public Comments
    !My name is Carol Bitting, Marble Falls, Ar. ! !2015/04/11! !Comments on Permit #3540-WR-7! Thank you for allowing me to speak, I will try to stay within the 5 minutes but if I go over it won’t be for much so please allow me to finish without interruption. This meeting is about addressing our citizen concerns for the environment we live in.! . ! I am here defending my home and the anti-degradation of the waters of this state as specified in Regulation 2 and the Clean Water Act. I am not about new laws, the laws are already here. They are continually degraded though and that is the sadness of this situation as ADEQ has partnered with industry for pollution of the Buffalo River verses the millions of citizens that are financially supporting the agency to protect our !resources. ! The area I live in is karst, it is downstream of the proposed permit and the water I drink comes from this source. I am also a field technician for Dr Brahana’s (KHBNR) study and other ongoing study’s of water quality related to the area surrounding the spreading fields of C&H Hog Farms. We have documented the fast transport of groundwater emerging into springs, streams and wells in nearly all directions of the C&H spreading !fields and also the continual increase of the decline of water quality in Big Creek. ! There are 34 known caves downstream of the EC Campbell farm spreading fields. The above fields are highly erodible allowing nutrients, such as hog waste to pass quickly into the groundwater, caves and streams.

    Case 4:18-cv-00342-KGB Document 76 Filed 09/11/19 Page 1 of 6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION DONNA CAVE, et al. PLAINTIFFS ANNE ORSI, et al., and CONSOLIDATED PLAINTIFFS THE SATANIC TEMPLE, et al. INTERVENOR PLAINTIFFS CASE NUMBER: V. 4:18-CV-00342 JOHN THURSTON, as Arkansas Secretary of State, in his official DEFENDANT capacity TST’S RESPONSE IN OBJECTION TO RAPERT’S MOTION TO QUASH OR FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Senator Rapert is a key witness in this case. He made various public statements about this case and the Ten Commandments Monument. He filed both acts which are the subject of TST’s case. He serves as a director of the American History and Heritage Foundation (“AHHF,”) which donated the monument. And he served as the face of the fundraising efforts to obtain the money for that monument. As a key witness, his deposition testimony is subject to the closest scrutiny. Sen. Rapert is a public figure. He is an elected official, he has announced an intention to run for lieutenant governor of Arkansas, and his various public statements are made for the purpose of influencing public opinion. He also is a founding member of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, whose stated purpose is to establish “a more godly nation.” As a public figure who generally and repeatedly injects himself into the issue of separation of church, and specifically injects himself to this case, Sen. Rapert has no expectation of privacy with respect to his deposition footage.
