My name is Paul Miller and I am sending these articles to your attention. BECAUSE WE DO NOT DEMAND FULL DISCLOSURE AND TRANSPARENCY … THIS IS THE TYPE OF HELP WE GET FROM OUR GOVERNMENT.
ST.com Editor: For those who find the type small, these articles pertain to water contamination in Dimrock Township, Pennsylvania and also at the Marine base, Camp LeJeune, NC. The LeJeune, NC article comments on the Veteran’s Administration failure to recognize, without a case-by-case evaluation of the evidence, that the water supply is a contributory cause of cancers and tumors devel0ped by LeJeune service personnel in later years. This Letter was sent as a comment to our on-line article written about chemical contamination in local water supplies. Go to the Search box and enter “chemicals” to bring up the referenced article. For those wanting more information on Dimrock Township, Pennsylvania and or Camp LeJeune, NC water issues, we suggest contacting the town or Camp offices of public information.
not that i personally feel that lejeune or penn issues matter here which are local in nature and not sedona issues mr.,miller did give me pause to think about big park water and oak creek so read the chemicals story the editor referenced, so it was worth it to read. i applaud this avenue for reading what others in the area cannot or will not print
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it has reissued a water discharge permit for a coal mining operation in northern Arizona.
The EPA had withdrawn the permit late last year after an appeal by environmentalists, who contended the discharge of heavy metals and pollutants threatens water resources for nearby tribal communities.
The EPA held additional public hearings on the Navajo and Hopi reservations.
The EPA says the permit for Peabody Energy’s Black Mesa mine complex was signed Thursday and allows for the continued discharge of treated storm water generated from the mining area.
The mining complex sits on nearly 65,000 acres that Peabody leases from the Navajo and Hopi tribes and has been in operation since the 1970s.
…THE OPERATIVE WORD IS … TREATED … HOWEVER “WE” WERE NEVER PROVIDED FULL DISCLOSURE NOR TRANSPARENCY ON WHAT “TREATED” ACTUALLY MEANS…
