obtained by removing the fill currently
covering the present refuse site, thus
creating an additional health hazard, and

eliminate the problems created by the
existing rubbish disposal area, which is
rapidly approaching the status of a
public as well as a private nuisance, and

would not, as a result of granting this
petition, be able to level the existing site
as alleged in its application, and
