While reading the StLouis Post Dispatch comments yesterday I realized- there are too many HATERS and that people haven't learned anything yet.

I haven't read the Forward through Ferguson a Path Forward fully yet so I will withhold comment for now.

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.
