EPA Gina McCarthy Wrong Yet Again

Terra Johnson Douglas-February 13 at 6:44pm posted in West Lake Landfill.

Just Moms STL, non-profit group formed to unite & organize against a harmful Superfund radioactive waste site from the Manhattan Project in their Community

Terra Johnson Douglas wrote Greg Wingard in Washington State

asking him to support our bill and contact his contact his Representative to support the bill. I also told him how

Gina McCarthy refused to meet with the Moms.

This was his response.

"Not surprised on Gina McCarthy. My understanding is that prior to her being the Administer, she worked on issues related to radiation for the agency, and was the one involved in making the call to shut down monitoring radiation on the west coast of the United States, a few months into the Fukushima accident.

I wrote our Region X, EPA Administer Dennis McClearan to protest this decision and was told by regional staff that the amount of available dilution in the Pacific Ocean was so great that it would not be possible to measure any increase in radiation over the existing background.

My response was that they were either ignoring, or refusing to consider the role of preferential pathways, including currents and materials such as plastic particulates that would tend to concentrate the radiation and keep it suspended in the water column rather than it falling out into the sediment (meaning it would tend to travel rather than settle). They disagreed.

Recent information from independent sampling, carried out by Woods Hole Institute researchers has shown that radiation off the coast of Washington has now increased three to four-fold over the previous background levels, with the fingerprint of isotopes demonstrating that Fukushima is the only possible source for the increase."

What on Earth is Going on at West Lake Landfill?

When odors from the neighboring Bridgeton Landfill became so intense, residents began making calls. What they unearthed was shocking! They learned that the adjacent West Lake Landfill houses massive amounts of illegally dumped nuclear weapons waste from the Manhattan Project, the U.S. – the secret U.S. military program created in 1942 to develop the atomic bomb.

Phytoremediation Kenaf Pot Test Clarification

Even the Mighty Google Search Engine gets mislead on what a Scientific Pot Test is. When they should be pointing everyone to the images I've provided below.

For the Record Jan 26, 2016

The Pot Tests the MOhemp Hazmat Team will be addressing deal with the Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals from the Soil by Phytoextraction.

Phytoremediation and Phytoextraction is the Scientific Terms and Lingo for what I call natural way of how a Plant will cycle the Toxins from the ground and into the Plant.

Here are a few images Scientific Pot Tests

The Stars have aligned giving their blessings for the ‪#‎phytoremediation‬ experiments and test plots.

With a little help from Mother Natures assistance we are going to right the wrongs that mankind has done to the soil of the Earth and prove that plants can be used to clean up Toxic Soils!

Manhattan Project Nuclear Waste Shipping Container and Dump Site

I received an interesting request from a fellow StLouis neighbor. Who asked me to run down information about this old 1940s shipping container that his Father saved from his time while working for Malicrodt hauling the dirt that contained the nuclear waste.

He mentioned Niagra Falls (this set off alarm bells in my head-Love Canal) so I did a quick google search and found some very interesting information. I was shocked to learn that: 37 million gallons of nuclear waste that was secretly dumped into drinking wells as reported by RALPH BLUMENTHAL of the New York Times

The Army and a defense contractor dumped more than 37 million gallons of radioactive caustic wastes from the World War II atomic bomb project in shallow wells at Tonawanda, N.Y., near Buffalo, between 1944 and 1946, a New York State toxic waste task force reported yesterday.
The disposal method was specifically chosen, the panel said, to hide the source of the contamination. The report, by the New York State Assembly Task Force on Toxic Substances, also offered new data to dispute an earlier Army denial of involvement in dumping at Love Canal in Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Manhattan Project Nuclear Waste Shipping Container StLouis to New York

I'm not blind and I now can see the source for the 37 million gallons of radioactive waste was generated by the St Louis Involvement in the Manhattan Project.

image nuclear waste shipping container with what looks like stain could be Nuclear Waste

Is this stain spilled nuclear waste on the shipping container?

This has to be the reason his Father keep the shipping container as a souvenir and more proof of how deep the Rabbit Hole of the Nuclear Industry really goes.

I'm honestly worried for the safety and health of this Vietnam Veteran when I saw the stain on the shipping container. Is this stain spilled nuclear waste on the shipping container?

We had many conversations over the phone and I was taking mental notes as well as looking up previously undisclosed nuclear waste dump sites that his Father mentioned.

One of which could be the image below, that is located in a Region of St Louis.

Brown patch of land in image could be location unknown radioactive dumpsite

Previously Undisclosed Radioactive Dump Site Location in the StLouis Region

MOhemp Energy Hazmat Crew will be visiting this site and many more that this Viet Nam Veteran believes are in the StLouis area.

Would your company be interested in a way I can reduce the soil toxins at the Westlake and Bridgeton Landfills at no charge to you?

I can pay for operation with the sales of the biomass that I can grow from the toxic soil.

This is currently being done in Chernobyl, Ukraine, and studied for Fukishima, as well as other locations around the world.

This also fits in with your sustainable efforts that you list on your website.

I have solutions for water collection points, drainage fields, and every scenario that your landfills have current issues with.

This will go along way in showing the residents that you are working towards eliminating the rads.

Per EPA I have studies that state: "Phytoremediation by Phytoextraction" is a proven way to eliminate and reduce the soil toxins and is the cheapest option.

As I stated I can do this for no charge and expenses to your company.

Respectfully submitted for the 4th time.

Tracking Nuclear Radiation StLouis Missouri

Conclusions This paper reports radionuclide analyses of the 287 surface soil, dust and sediment samples, collected to test whether significant, off-site dispersal of radionuclides has occurred from the West Lake Landfill site in Bridgeton, MO.

A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable. Wiki

Levels of 210Pb in key samples were well above background activities, and were significantly out of secular equilibrium with other members of the uranium decay chain. This is strong evidence that the 210Pb originated by decay of short-lived, fugitive radon gas that escaped the landfill.

The use of the unsupported 210Pb marker was an important element of our analysis, allowing the identification of waste-impacted areas. 210Pb activities were highest in areas known to be contaminated with wastes from the Mallinckrodt uranium processing wastes.

Radon soil headspace test and in-situ pore-volume radon activities for soil samples were widely variable, with too few samples available to directly relate these activities to the presence of uranium or uranium processing wastes in soils and sediments.

Some individual samples had very high ratios of radon in headspace to soil masses. Given the importance of radon releases from soils to air as a vector for public exposure to radioactivity, increasing the density and frequency of radon measurements around the West Lake Landfill should be an important priority.

If the West Lake Landfill fire were to intrude upon areas with buried uraniumprocessing wastes, radon emissions may increase further.

Isotopes of uranium and thorium reach high levels in sediments around Coldwater Creek. More disturbingly, indoor dusts in homes adjacent to Coldwater Creek have potentially higher levels of uranium and thorium than those found in sediments at known disposal sites.

After reviewing the 287 environmental sample results, the most effective method for tracking uranium-processing wastes was to monitor unsupported 210Pb, as well as uranium and thorium in sediments and house dusts.

abstract

Analysis of 287 soil, sediment and house dust samples collected in a 200 km2 -zone in northern St. Louis County, Missouri, establish that offsite migration of radiological contaminants from Manhattan Projectera uranium processing wastes has occurred in this populated area.

Specifically, 48% of samples (111 of a subset of 229 soils and sediments tested) had 210Pb concentrations above the risk-based soil cleanup limits for residential farming established by the US Department of Energy at the Fernald, OH, uranium plant, which handled and stored the same concentrated Manhattan Project-era wastes; the geographical distribution of the exceedances are consistent with water and radon gas releases from a landfill and related sites used to store and dispose of legacy uranium wastes; and offsite soil and house dust samples proximal to the landfill showed distinctive secular disequilibrium among uranium and its progeny indicative of uranium ore processing wastes.

The secular disequilibrium of uranium progeny in the environment provides an important method for distinguishing natural uranium from industrial uranium wastes. In this study, the detection of unsupported 210Pb beyond expected atmospheric deposition rates is examined as a possible indicator of excessive radon emissions from buried uranium and radium containing wastes.

Human Radiation Experiments In Bridgeton MO just like CincinnatiOH

Are the People and Public who are being exposed to the Nuclear Radiation in Bridgeton MO part of a Human Experiment just like what happened in Cincinnati OH long ago?

The similarities sound eerily familiar the first one is being poor. The second one is how the area residents are treated ie: Ferguson. Too many similarities for me not to connect the Dots.

Cincinnati Radiation Experiment

Cincinnati radiation experiments

August 30, 2011FV

Cancer patients (mostly Negroes of below-average intelligence who were charity patients) during 1960-72 in Cincinnati were exposed to large doses of whole body radiation as part of an experiment sponsored by the U.S. military. None of the subjects gave informed consent, they thought they were receiving treatment for their cancer. Subjects experienced nausea and vomiting from acute radiation sickness, pain from burns on their bodies, and some died prematurely as result of radiation exposure. In re Cincinnati Radiation Litigation, 874 F.Supp. 796 (S.D.Ohio 1995). On 5 May 1999, a settlement was announced in which the defendants paid US$ 5.4×106, but defendants admitted no wrongdoing.

government-sponsored – “…What happened here is one of the worst things this government has ever done to its citizens in secret,” Dr. Egilman said. Martha Stephens, now an emeritus professor of English at the University of Cincinnati, helped bring the research to light in the early 1970s and wrote a book about it. She said documents showed that many of the patients had received radiation doses that reduced their white blood cell counts to nearly nothing. At one time, Dr. Saenger said the deaths of eight patients had been caused by radiation, but later he said that none had been caused by it. In 1994, when government-sponsored radiation experiments that had been conducted during the cold war attracted renewed attention, the Cincinnati study came under new scrutiny, and a graduate student working with Professor Stephens began tracking down the families of the patients…” (Eugene Saenger,Controversial Doctor, Dies at 90)

the effect full-body radiation exposure – “…Dr. Stephens began pestering administrators at the medical school for information about the radiation experiments. The more she learned, the more frightened she became. The more frightened, the more she dug. She spent much of 1971 and 1972 digging. She discovered the aim of the secret study was to determine the effect full-body radiation exposure, such as from a nuclear blast, would have on soldiers in combat. But the cancer patients who were subjected to the experiment were not told they were being exposed to deadly doses of radiation. Their doctors told them they were being treated to relieve the pain of their cancers. “As a person teaching at a public university, I wanted to earn my pay. I felt the citizens of the state who were paying my salary wanted me to defend their interest against what was happening on my campus,” she says. “If Ohio citizens were being abused on my campus, I needed to make it known and not wait for outsiders to tell us we were not treating people right…” (Book revisits UC radiation experiments).

consent forms – “…Throughout most of the study, consent forms were not signed. Later, when consent forms were used, many victims claimed they had been duped or had their signatures forged. According to a report by a University of Cincinnati Faculty Committee sent to the Pentagon, “physicians, nurses, technicians, and ward personnel were instructed not to discuss post-irradiation symptoms or reactions with the patients” which included “the risk of death from bone marrow failure within 40 days.” The “treatment” received by UC “patients” is hardly an anomaly. Radiation research was systematic and widespread; the implications well discussed and understood. In fact the national security archives now has reams of declassified documents on various human radiation experiments often conducted on unwitting subjects by numerous government departments. Nor were the doctors involved unclear as to what they were doing. In the 1950s, Shields Warren, then director of the Atomic Energy Commission’s Division of Biology and Medicine, received a memo from Joseph Hamilton— the scientist in charge of radiation experiments at the University of California— advising that large primates be used instead of humans in the upcoming studies on radiation’s cognitive effects, of which Dr. Saenger’s study was one. The memo explained that the use of humans could leave the AEC open “to considerable criticism,” as the experiments had “a little of the Buchenwald touch.” Disregarding this advice, the experiments continued as planned, coast-to-coast, with varying degrees of deadliness. In the early 1980s Dr. David Egilman and Geoffrey Sea— health consultants for the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union and the Federal Atomic Traders and Labor Council— investigated experiments conducted on nuclear workers and uncovered more crimes committed by the University of Cincinnati hospital. This time it was “body snatching…” (American Mengele: Human Radiation Experiments)

Human radiation experiments – Since the discovery of ionizing radiation, a number of human radiation experiments have been performed to understand the effects of ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination on the human body, specifically with the element plutonium. On January 15, 1994, President Bill Clinton formed the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE), chaired by Ruth Faden of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. The committee was created to investigate and report the use of human beings as test subjects in experiments involving the effects of ionizing radiation in federally funded research. The committee discovered the causes of the experiments, and reasons why the proper oversight did not exist, and made several recommendations to prevent future occurrences of similar events (Wikepedia).
