Check here I know of all the toxic dumps around me. They say they have cleaned them up but what they have done is attempt to cap them, fence them off and have monitoring wells. They can't clean them up because it would cause an even greater mess. Back when they first started environmental laws a lot of companies disposed of a lot of things in a hurry so they would not be responsible later on. Most of the companies said they didn't know the "disposal company" did irresponsible things with the toxic waste. A lot of wells were shut down because of ground water pollution. A lot of people on well water were forced to hook up to new water service at their own expense. Dirtyboy Think beyond impossible. |

Check here Find a toxic waste dump near you Quoting: AKObserver There are 1,700 toxic waste sites across the country, and chances are there’s one in your neck of the woods. About 11 million people live within one mile of a Superfund site, which is a hazardous waste area slated for cleanup by the federal government. Congress started the Superfund program in 1980, promising to use taxpayer dollars to clean up places where industries like mines, asbestos plants, and chemical companies (Love Canal, anyone?) dumped pollution and then skedaddled or went bankrupt. The relatively small state of New Jersey tops the list with more than 115 sites. Nevada has just one. So far, around 350 sites have been remediated, usually after being on the list for decades.
