The EPA shut down 80% of all incinerators because of that study. All incinerators are very closely monitored and very, very important. What the general public needs to understand is that incineration is critical in the destruction of very dangerous wastes. There is no other completely effective way to destroy such wastes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778186.post-8405025503524812782007-02-09T23:44:00.000-05:002007-02-09T23:44:00.000-05:00Folks, this is simply about money and in the scheme of things, not very much. Incineration is not in the best interest of the local community, but under EPA regulations, the responsible parties can collect from others who may be identified later, to the extent they select the lowest cost remedy that EPA approves of. If EPA turns down thermal, the responsible parties will have to dig it up and haul it away and can still collect from those potential future parties to the full extent. The difference is very little considering the size of the companies involved and the magnitude of the problem to be solved. Its EPA's decision, affect thier decision for the well being of our children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778186.post-6752204683977000062007-02-08T11:49:00.000-05:002007-02-08T11:49:00.000-05:00Canada just rejected a planned Toxic Waste PCB Incinerator for the Sydney Tar Ponds cleanup.

Just more political double talk? <br /><br />It's not too late for EPA to hear the people of Raleigh. Luis Flores has options that are better than installing a Toxic Waste Incinerator. <br /><br />Check out the Dec 27, 2006 Indy Week article at http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A41805. It has a lot more details. <br /><br />Cleaning up the Ward Transformer site by polluting it with more toxic dioxins seems like a pretty bad deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
