I just found out today where they are taking the contaminated soil to. My friggin back yard. 20 miles East of where I live is a hazardous waste plant where they are going to shove it into the ground. I'm sure my well water will be safe...
Same thing up here. Vickery, OH is well known for its deep injection wells, just a short distance south of Lake Erie/back bay/marshland areas. A few years back, friends and family were evacuated due to a leak, nice orange cloud in the area. Its one kf those, if the wind is right and something bad happens between Vickery or the Bellevue train yard, we don't stand a chance.
When you start looking around, or what is up wind, you quickly realize that it just doesn't matter any more. Guys wanting to move out of ohio to head west, you're just getting closer to military installations/missle silos
