here's a quickie proof of sorts, kek

Also i highlighted fire because it was related to the Q post about Blunt Statement, and Blunt's statement was in regards to landfill that has had enviromental problems like a fire that lasts for years.

Not sure how they are connected( double meanings)

 

where there is smoke , there is fire, kek

EPA reaches cleanup decision for radioactive West Lake Landfill Superfund site

Sep 27, 2018

After years of bureaucratic inaction and escalating frustration and concern from the surrounding community, the Environmental Protection Agency has finally settled on a strategy to clean up the radioactive waste at the West Lake Landfill Superfund site in Bridgeton.

 

Compared with a proposal from earlier this year, the selected remedy is about $30 million cheaper and will be completed about one year faster.

The agency said late Wednesday that it would slightly modify its earlier proposal to partly remove the site’s contamination, employing “more flexibility” by digging to varying depths to target spots where radioactivity is concentrated. The strategy is outlined in a record of decision, signed Thursday morning in Washington by the agency’s acting administrator, Andrew Wheeler.

 

The announcement caps years of anticipation and fierce debate. Concerned area residents have strongly called for full excavation of the site and remote disposal of its contents — the most thorough, and expensive, cleanup possible — while some groups responsible for covering remediation costs sought to have the site capped, which was the least expensive option weighed by the EPA.

The chosen plan falls between those two options, and closely resembles the proposal put forward in February. That strategy, announced by former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, was dubbed “Excavation Plus,” and entailed partial removal of the site’s radioactive contaminants, followed by installation of a specially engineered cover as a form of long-term protection.

That proposal called for excavation to a depth of 16 feet across the site, which agency officials said would remove the bulk of the site’s radioactivity. Now, however, excavation depth will vary between 8 feet and 20 feet below the landfill’s surface.

“We’re going to have more flexibility as we excavate,” Wheeler said Wednesday in a phone interview with the Post-Dispatch. “In some areas, it will be as deep as 20 feet or perhaps as shallow as 8 feet. We’re going to decrease the amount of nonradioactive waste that needs to be removed from the site and focus our efforts on the radioactive waste.”

Agency officials said about 70 percent of the radioactivity at the site would be removed. They said radioactivity that remains in the unlined landfill will be at a depth where it is not expected to pose public health risks, and that groundwater will be monitored going forward.

 

The estimated $205 million cost will be shouldered by a handful of public and private entities deemed “potentially responsible parties” that are liable for the site. The EPA said that allocation of those costs is decided among those parties, and “may not necessarily be evenly divided.”
