Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Many of you are not aware of what is taking place with regards to contaminated sites, ie: Superfund/Brownfield lands accross our Nation. They are being handed over to the Private Developers. The Developer's truck in clean top soil, pockets easy money from us taxpayers for clean-up and remediation, they recieve Federal Protections and use Loop Holes while telling us to X-Off and Die! .......(literally) http://www.seri-us.org/projects/doecomplex.html Here are two examples of the ongoing battle to protect our health and welfare. The first is a video, the second is a letter, describing a pittiful example of foot dragging and unnessescary red tape. Are these battles being waged by the EPA? NOPE! It's a constant struggle by ordinary everyday citizens, just like you and I, trying to bring a halt to increasing Cancer rates, Birth Defects and Immunocological Syndromes that continue to climb in our townships and communities. The EPA doesn't know that the ground we walk on is just as TOXIC as the air we breathe. It would seem, they cannot chew gum and walk at the same time, or can they? A true definition of a Smoke Screen - Keep the Public's focus on the Air Pollution issues and Global Warming while building low income housing on contaminated land. 1.Video - Point Ruston Tacoma, Toxic Sites, Life and Death And Maximizing Profits For Developers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjDXfscn4GY & eurl= 2. A Letter Jane, For some reason, I am not effectively communicating to you. Ms.XXXX has an English degree in addition to her science background, so maybe she can offer to assist with the language here. You promised to get the air dispersion modeling for the PHA. I have that on written record. Who provided it in the Pittard Road Health Consultation from 2006? Is it science beyond your MPH? I am sure your fellow agencies can assist with that complex science. The air dispersion modeling was asked for on the GA EPD official public record at the 2006 air permit renewal hearing for Transco. Your agency and ATSDR were petitioned for intervention at that time as well given your state cooperative agreement. Most of the time that cloudy agreement is used as an excuse to finger point at each other while a community is being exposed to unethical amounts of contamination. I have that proof on written record as well. It does not set well with the public or press for a community to be exploited like this especially in light of the March 12th Congressional hearing, and expert testimony on the broad public health failures of ATSDR, EPA, and state public health and environmental regulatory agencies: http://science.house.gov/publications/hearings_markups_details.aspx?newsid=2376 We know the authority does not rest with your agency to regulate this facility, but the power you do possess has excused away the acute and chronic public health implications of these massive amounts of unfiltered, uncapped, and underreported air toxic emissions including 185 tons per year of formaldehyde. The " denying, delaying, minimizing, trivializing, and ignoring of the legitimate health concerns " of the FEMA/formaldehyde scandal was uncovered by Congress. Why are you wasting resources to draft a PHA with outdated and unproven rote procedures which will amount to a hill of beans? Use the findings of Congress to streamline and better utilize your limited resources. If you proceed with the PHA without the air dispersion modeling, you and your colleagues will be held just as guilty and accountable. Legal entanglements should not stop none of you from doing what is right. I suggest as well that you get a DVD from Dr. Couch of the 2006 GA EPD/Transco Public Hearing, and review the comments/petition on the record. It appears Dr. Couch was remiss in her duties to have signed an air permit renewal without providing the air dispersion modeling in light of the environmental health problems the community brought to her attention. I expect you and your fellow agencies to work this out amongst yourselves. COPS will be watching you. Congress will be watching you. Communities around the country suffering because of jackleg science will be watching you. COPS will proceed with the collaboration once you have been faithful to your word. I don't feel well today, and am not really in the mood to deal with the grand failure of multi-agencies in the poisoning of the citizens of Madison County. Catch me when I'm feeling better. Better yet, do your job to protect people, and not industry. Thanks, Ms. XXXX Once again, call or emial your State Fraud, Waste and Abuse Dept. Put them on notice! Let's use that famous line used in a movie - I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! Enough Abuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 why not put wind turbines or other alternative energy facilities on top of superfund clean up sites, requiring folks who service them to wear special protective gear, thus working with utility companies instead of private developers? -Kate > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am not in favor of keeping agencies who exist under " enabling statutes " created with honorable " intent, " but who over time, fail to protect the public and " forget their mission. " Sadly, I think that many of these agencies which has become " politicized " and subject to lobbyists and political manipulation, not to mention the contracts which are awarded to them. There are plenty of those to whom victims turn and are rebuffed because they forget for " whom " they " work.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 You said it. $$. It all comes down to the money. This is such a greedy society. I don't know how God can let it exist much longer.
