TX has the most EPA Superfund waste sites. 13 -41 are under water. WOW! ALL that Toxic waste free!

I am really 81 yes i am. And no i havent ever lives while a great president was in office. Electing a billionaire interested in helping the rich isn't my idea of greatness.

Been watching too much CNN haven't you?

Voters in Denton, TX (the birthplace of fracking) voted to ban fracking. State Thugs overrode their wishes. Their water is bad so they drink bottled water. The same is true for their neighboring areas. In their neighboring city of Dish, TX the air was so bad that the residents vacated their homes & free lifetime Dish Network. Rich oil people run Texas. To hell with what the residents want.

Nope Mike....experience and ability to think. I'm not stupid enough to fall for the hype. Unfortunately millions of Americans are that dumb. But I can't control it. But man to buy into one person is real unadulterated pure stupidity.

EPA has still yet to inspect nearly a dozen Houston-area hazardous waste sites.
Houston’s toxic Superfund sites are underwater and leaking
The EPA said on Saturday that aerial imagery showed 13 of the 41 (they have 51 total) designated Superfund sites in the Houston area were flooded by Harvey and were “experiencing possible damage” due to the storm. Of these sites, the EPA said just two have been inspected and will not require emergency cleanup, although additional sampling in the area will continue to be conducted.
The remaining eleven sites “have not been accessible by response personnel,” the EPA said. “Teams are in place to investigate possible damage to these sites as soon [as] flood waters recede, and personnel are able to safely access the sites,” the agency added.

But the Superfund program is also facing significant budgetary cuts if the Trump administration has its way. The EPA’s proposed budget cuts total Superfund cleanup funding by $330 million, a reduction of over 30 percent. (Please cut it great Douche One, texASS earned its rewards)

The oil companies have destroyed both texASS and the gulf. Well, BP more now.
We need to start by taking away 10 Trillion of profits from all these Oil/Coal/Gas and Chemical companies.
See how much more needed later in billions. Set the price of gasoline at 2.75 including taxes as highest sales price.
Globally wide price as well.
Many nations get their gas with no taxes at under 1.75 a gal.
Venezuela is 6 cents a liter, or 3.7 liters at 22.2 cents makes a gal.
Many ME states are under a buck and a quarter for a gal.

“Once again, in an attempt to mislead Americans, the Associated Press is cherry-picking facts, as EPA is monitoring Superfund sites around Houston and we have a team of experts on the ground working with our state and local counterparts responding to Hurricane Harvey. Anything to the contrary is yellow journalism.”

So rightie again. If the place is flooded behind the fence,
But the water flows through the wire fencing. What is that?

The Highlands Acid Pit site near Chandler’s home was filled in the 1950s with toxic sludge and sulfuric acid from oil and gas operations. Though 22,000 cubic yards of hazardous waste and soil were excavated from the acid pits in the 1980s, the site is still considered a potential threat to groundwater, and the EPA maintains monitoring wells there.

When he was growing up in Highlands, Chandler, now 62, said he and his friends used to swim in the by-then abandoned pit.

“My daddy talks about having bird dogs down there to run and the acid would eat the pads off their feet,” he recounted on Thursday. “We didn’t know any better.”

They know these places well.

btw..

According to an EPA survey from last year, soil from the former waste pits contains dioxins and other long-lasting toxins linked to birth defects and cancer.

Kara Cook-Schultz, who studies Superfund sites for the advocacy group TexPIRG, said environmentalists have warned for years about the potential for flooding to inundate Texas Superfund sites, particularly the San Jacinto Waste Pits.

"If floodwaters have spread the chemicals in the waste pits, then dangerous chemicals like dioxin could be spread around the wider Houston area," Cook-Schultz said.

"Superfund sites are known to be the most dangerous places in the country, and they should have been properly protected against flooding."
