Not many miles from the house I live in and the ground I farm, lies
Times Beach. A monument to everything wrong with the way the "system"
works. It doesn't work. Ultimatly, one of the corporations responsible
for widespread contamination was paid a handsome sum to clean up its own
mess. Clean up = spew all over the place by incomplete incinertion and
later by leaching of ashes in landfills.
Our community could not find within itself the strength of conviction
that the folks around New Bedford, Massachusetts relied on to stop an
errant EPA and their highly illogical plan to incinerate PCB contminated
dirt. Perhaps that community will be among the first to reap the
benefits of this new technology.
It is too late for this neck of the woods where we now own the dubious
distinction of being exposed to DIE-oxin twice, when once was more than
enough.
