"If you want clean water, you do not want this thing, because they're going to dig it and then they are going to leave it and we're going to be stuck with it. And these people here, they live off the fish, they live off the moose, the caribou. And those rich people, they can't understand that. These guys are just in it for the buck. You can dress it anyway you want, but that's the truth." – Richard King, Ekwok Village Council Administrator/Fishing Lodge Owner, Ekwok, Alaska

"We're just worried about the toxins that would eventually get into the rivers or the streams. Our main source of food is fish and I think as soon as we get some toxins in there, it's going to kill off the smolts and the eggs." – Fred Tom Hurley Jr., Landfill Operator/Solid Waste Manager, Ekwok, Alaska
