Please keep everyone injured in your hearts and prayers. Let us learn from our mistakes....and keep in mind it could have been worse. The river could have caught on fire.
Let the discussions begin.
Are the inspectors familure with the attached document?
Who inspected the site, when, and will they be held accountable?
Assuming oil related compounds are present in the lines..WHY WAS THIS NOT ENFORCED? (after all the paper printed pictures of violations of federal law).
How many gallons and of what were spilled into the river, how much did firefighting waters move to transport pollutants into the biosphere from impervious surfaces, or less pervious surfaces?
Why did this happen?
Did you see the article months ago in the paper about the dangers assocaited with this site?
Did you pick up on what the City portrayed the danger level to be in the Free Times article?
How did environmental oversight by regulatory agencies fail to prevent this from happening in one of the most heavily EPA scrutinized businesses in our city?
What if any evacuations were there? How was the plume modeled, who was notified?
Did your businesses have hazardous waste that went up in flames in this fire? Are you liable?
How much insurance does the place have for the damage to people, planet, and the biosphere? Are they even required to have insurance to cover damages to any of the three former externalities?
OMG** Formatting is driving me NUTS in here... please fix or make it intuitive! Bolding is having issues.. the article is either totally bold or not after much tinkering... Aaaah. I am ready to RANT and its impeding me! ;-)
