ReplyCraig; Aside from sampling issues that plagued the "cleanup", the National EPA shut down and required (re)testing of the incinerator and even more pollution control devices to be added for real reasons. Non paid citizens who paid attention know enough of the facts. Bill

ReplyFolks, please continue to wake up. The Repubs want government by and for the people to go away, so they can impose their godly ways on citizens, in the meantime, non accountable big biz wants your national resources to profit from with no government oversight or rule making. Our bodies our ours and our nations resources are ours, not corporate advantaged liability and accountability avoiding corporate masters. W

ReplyI would expect that anyone buying any home built on those properties will be required to waive their ability to bring any actions related to exposure going forward. This is what Syntex required of anyone touring Times Beach after the "clean up". Once again, our friends from EPA Region 7 show who they really work for. Bill Elmore

ReplyMarylin is right, dioxins and other dangerous chemicals remain at the old Times Beach site. They reburied the cooked soil on site and perhaps as many dioxins and furans were created by the cooking of the soil as were destroyed. The "cleanup" was little more than a process to remove corporate responsibility. The EPA National Ombudsman shut down the incinerator because of deceptions in the testing before, should we expect anything different this time? Bill Elmore

ReplyThe EPA administrative trick of "delisting" the soil cooked at Times Beach allowed for its reburial on site. If they really dig down, they will find dioxins, probably PCBs and other petro chemicals. I am glad I don't live downstream. Bill Elmore

ReplyAnyone involved in the Times Beach "cleanup" that was not paid to participate knows that Region 7 EPA protected the corporate interests, not the citizens health back then. I don't expect anything has changed. I would not dig for worms in that flood plain. Bill Elmore

First a flood plain mall that Jeff. County citizens organized to stop in the 1990s (at great expense, time and effort), now residential housing and commercial in the same location. Jeff County Planning and Zoning is way to responsive to developers and wants to ignore citizens who live there. FEMA flood maps, flood insurance, PUDS, TIFs, County Master Plans redrafted by developers, when will it end. This is such a bad idea its hard to be civil.
