Radioactivity Found Offsite at West Lake Landfill   

Sept. 4, 2015
Quick Links
Dear Scotts, 

Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015: Attorney General Chris Koster released several expert reports detailing the smoldering fire moving toward the radioactive material as well as the finding of radioactive material in tree cores at offsite locations. The reports were released as a part of AG Koster's lawsuit against Republic Services related to the smoldering landfill fire, which Koster claims started due to the negligence of the landfill company. Read MCE's press release calling for the Corps of Engineers to be given jurisdiction of the radioactive materials immediately. 

Congresswoman Ann Wagner released a statementfollowing AG Koster's new information, "It is time for the Department of Energy, in consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers, to make a determination whether the inclusion of the West Lake site into FUSRAP will better protect area residents. The time for discussion and evaluation has passed; this community deserves a solution."

Congresswoman Ann Wagner is referencing a request made to the DOE by our federally elected officials. We already know that the Corps of Engineers will better protect area residents and that's why we've been asking our federally elected officials to legislatively transfer the jurisdiction of the landfill from the EPA to the Corps of Engineers. Read more HERE about why FUSRAP needs to be put in charge at the West Lake Landfill. See who supports FUSRAP being put in charge at the West Lake Landfill and take actionHERE

Call To Action

We need the Army Corps of Engineers put in charge of the West Lake Landfill. People live within one mile of this landfill and have been subjected to horrendousodors for over four years. Republic Services even said, "This will be life for the next five years," regarding the smoldering fire. It's time for Republic Services or the government to provide a voluntary buyout for the folks within one mile of the landfill. Just Moms STL formed to work with the people closest to and most impacted by the landfill. Karen Nickel is one of the Just Moms STL leaders and shared what you can do to help on their Facebook pageSee the picture below and take action!
