I worked at AMPS about 10 years ago and an employee who was laid off called OSHA and reported the problem along with many others and nothingwas done. They had a ” chemical plant” behind the building that a guy with just a high school diploma was so called making it safe. Chemicals were pouring all over the ground and when walking through the grass the chemicals would burn your skin. A cat had a few kittens and 3 were deformed and the others died. That area is so contaminated.

If I had the knowledge I wouldn’t have to ask the ?‘s. Rather than coping an attitude, why not educate us and give out information to help us better to understand and feel better about the results.  All we ever hear or read is about the stuff hauled on barges that no state will accept, materials dumped in the wood’s or poured into waterways, landfields the bleed into our ground waters, etc.  Not everyone can attend these meetings and if we can they are short and give out min. information. Help us with the solution, don’t berate us.

Justme,
Obliviously you have no knowledge of how to clean or remediate HAZMAT sites.  Ihave spent the last 11 years cleaning up messes other people left for the government to handle. 1st they have regulations they have to go by to secure the site from other people dumping more hazmat on the site after the EPA starts cleaning it up, b/c some people feel the EPA is cleaning so they can clean this mess also. 2nd the government has to dispose of the hazmat in the same way all private companies do, approved land fills and transporters, with all the paperwork done properly. Maybe you should try reading about his subject on the EPA website before stating questions about things YOU know nothing about. 3rd they will diging the visually contaminated dirt out and sample and keep going until the samples confirm all the contaminates are removed. If you really want to know about the process attend one of the community meeting the EPA will hold in the future to let residents know what is going on.

5 months to secure the site, Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Sounds like someone is is either inept or milking the money somewhere else for their own reason’s.  Why, were their crew’s doing the securing, and not just 1 crew. Where are all the marterials being taken too, and how will they be neturalized.  How deep are they digging?  How will the soil be cleaned or will it just be dumped in someone’s back yard?  So many ? and no answer’s !
