StLouis Environmental Startup Proposes Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil

Have you heard about the natural solution to the problem of the nuclear radiation at Bridgeton Landfill?  MOhemp Energy is proposing to utilize Industrial Hemp for Income and to remediate the toxic soil at the Landfill.

Wiki defines Phytoremediation: Phytoremediation (from Ancient Greek φυτο (phyto), meaning "plant", and Latin remedium, meaning "restoring balance") describes the treatment of environmental problems (bioremediation) through the use ofplants that mitigate the environmental problem without the need to excavate the contaminant material and dispose of it elsewhere.

• Phytoremediation is a cost-effective plant-based approach to remediation that takes advantage of the ability of plants to concentrate elements and compounds from the environment and to metabolize various molecules in their tissues  

• Toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants are the major targets for phytoremediation. 

• Knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms of phytoremediation began to emerge in recent years together with biological and engineering strategies designed to optimize and improve phytoremediation. 

• In addition, several field trials confirmed the feasibility of using plants for environmental cleanup.^[1]

MOhemp Energy goes on to show how phytoremediation is a low cost alternative in dealing with nuclear radiation from nuclear waste as well as other heavy metal compounds.

Phytromediation a financial vaible option to remove Heavy Metals

Exerts from a EPA Study:

Hemp for Income and Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste in Bridgeton Missouri and the Cold Water Creek area of the St. Louis Region 

is  a viable and financially proven way to remove the heavy metal toxins from the soil at Bridgeton Landfill and Coldwater creek areas of the StLouis Region.

A startup that wants to help the people while helping the environment- a perfect match.

Just recently the startup caught the attention of the Cleantech Open Challenge- 

MOhemp Energy Scientific Crowdfunding Update-IdeaScale-Cleantech Open,  While promoting the Idea Scale submission of Hemp for Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste + sustainable insulation 

I was contacted via a Google Plus post and it was suggested that I should also submit the information to the 

CleanTech Open that boasts -who finds, funds, the most innovative cleantech startups on the Planet.

We do! RT @StLHandyMan: @cleantechopen boasts -"finds, funds, the most innovative #cleantech #startups on the Planet"

— Cleantech Open (@cleantechopen) December 13, 2015

It was also stated that the boostrap-startup was a profitable venture with a profitable ROI of 5 years or less.

Ms Maria Chappelle-Nadal attempts to shed light and the real-life danger of the

Bridgeton Landfill burning nuclear waste underground Uranium site that has been killing people with cancer, causing baby's to be born without eyes, and other atrocities that are being ignored by the EPA, Governor Nixon,  St Louis County Officials, and others.

Is this the same Mallinckrodt that Missouri Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal spoke of in the video?

What I learned is that there are 100 of these sites located in the StLouis Area.-
with 40,000 plus tons of Uranium buried during the Manhattan Project and under control of Republic Services.

So there has to be a reason that Republic Services has been allowed to sweep this under the rug and keep the public in the dark.  I bet $Money$ is behind this and

West Lake Landfill is an unlined landfill and Superfund site located inBridgeton, Missouri.^[1][2][3] In 1973, leached barium sulfate residue originating from the Manhattan Project, was combined with topsoil (to dilute the contaminated material) and illegally dumped at the West Lake site. Due to the high concentration of radioactive material, West Lake was proposed to be a Superfund site on October 28, 1989 and underwent an environmental review process before becoming officially listed as a Superfund site on August, 30 1990.

Aerial Outline of West Lake Landfill

The landfill is divided into multiple sectors, within which are two highly-radioactive operable units (OU), OU-1 and OU-2, which both contain the same combination of highly radioactive material. Although barium sulfate cake residue is the only compound recorded to have been dumped in 1973, soil samples indicate the presence of many more radioactive materials, including Uranium andThorium, along with their decayed compounds. OU-1 covers 940 cubic yards (720 m³) on the surface (based on soil depth of 6 inches or 150 millimetres) and 24,000 cubic yards (18,000 m³) subsurface, while OU-2 covers 8,700 cubic yards (6,700 m³) on the surface and 109,000 cubic yards (83,000 m³) subsurface.

Recently, a large amount of attention has been brought to the West Lake landfill due to a subsurface smoldering fire located only 1,000 feet (300 m) away from OU-1. If the fire were to reach this area of radioactive waste, radon would be released into the air, resulting in high levels of radiation for surrounding areas.

Radioactivity Found Offsite WestLake Landfill

Radioactivity Found Offsite at West Lake Landfill    Sept. 4, 2015 Quick Links Our Website EPA Region 7 Missouri DNR Just Moms STL Coldwater Creek Facts DONATE to MCE's West Lake Landfill Efforts 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.  Republic Services is adding dirt to portions of the smoldering fire in an attempt to smother it so it does not become a surface fire.

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 page. See the picture below and take action!  Upcoming Events Franciscan Sisters of Mary Prayer Vigil Where: 12755 St. Charles Rock Road in Bridgeton, MO at the abandoned Phillips 66 gas station.  When: Every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month (weather pending) at 10am.
