'It is a ticking time bomb in the San Jacinto River' Finally the EPA is taking control of clean-up after 6 years of delays.- What's Your Point?
"The EPA is sounding alarm they are done negotiating, and they are ready for this site to be cleaned up and that is exactly what we need, it is a ticking time bomb in the San Jacinto river."The EPA takes over the cleanup of the San Jacinto River Waste Pits, addressing delays and ensuring progress on the removal of toxic materials.Jackie Medcalf of the Texas Health and Environment Alliance talking about the massive dioxin dump known as the San Jacinto River Waste Pits.
It's been six long years since the Environmental Protection Agency ordered Waste Management and International Paper to completely extract tons of cancer-causing material from beside and beneath the river. And while 66 hundred truckloads have been hauled away - the majority of the toxins remain untouched...largely due to delay tactics deployed by the Fortune 500 polluters.
According to Medcalf, the EPA is now taking complete command of the clean-up and accepting no more excuses, alternatives, or delays.
