Carter-Finley Stadium is an EPA Superfund site

[unc70]

I thought I would share some posts I recently made on a local sports "smack talk" site about a serious topic. The site of Carter-Finley Stadium and the adjoining RBC/PNC Center is a EPA Superfund toxic waste site on the National Priorities List.

Here is a decent starting point within the thread where I discuss this and some related issues. I made a couple of important related posts later in the thread, so keep reading past all the junk posts.

ridiculous and offensive insults.

2. You need the other discussions, too

I link to that document in my first post at the other site. You need to at least read the executive summary and site history in the document you link, but you need the other discussion, too.

Part of what I have been discussing over there is the almost total lack of public or institutional awareness and discussion of even this sites existance in the MSM.

I would also like to point out that the status of ground water migration being under control is misleading because the hydrology follow up tests had not been done; status of insufficient data would be more appropriate.

Obvious, the location of Superfund sites is not a secret. But the ability of NCSU to control the message and downplay the risks for 20 years before any actions on groundwater were even begun is surprising and disturbing.

Also, notice the responses over there that frames this as a liberal over-response.

4. So ignore the sexist remarks to get what? the inbred zoophilia insults?

Totally the go-to source, and just shows the class of the commenters and the poster.

5. No, that remediation at Superfund site is failing

Since my last post on that site was at 5:40am I assume you read and comprehended what I saying. The remediation actions at Superfund site are not working and almost no one is aware of the fact.

I forewarned that the blog was not a good presentation of what I have been finding. I suggest that you ignore most of the posts there except mine. I plan to repost a cleaned up version over here when I get time.

Now which posts of mine are you using in your assessment of my "class" or lack thereof? You would seem to be following the thread over there.

3. Here is another link

This is the 2008 assessment.

This isn't anything like the problems with the Camp Lejeune water supply, but it still should not be ignored.

6. Recommend...When I moved here I checked out the "Superfund Sites."

Apparently the National and State funds that were supposed to be set aside to clean them up ..ended up somewhere else. I have one down the road about a mile from me that is a Superfund site that is a lake and who knows how many dead animals, birds, etc. have been there for years. But, it's now a thriving dump site for construction tear downs, tree mulching debris from folks clearing out their yards and construction sites and there are mounds of Gravel and all kinds of cement building there.

I think the decision was: "We can't clean it up...so lets use it as an industrial DUMP SITE." Probably mounds of asbestos there, also since the "Tear Down" industry which thrived during the Booming 2000's only took a brief hiatus during the "Global Meltdown" and now I see the site is thriving once again with all the Rental Construction funded by the Hedge Funds going on.

So...it goes on...no matter how hard it is on the rest of us since the recent "Meltdown" there are folks still making money off of Superfund Sites and who knows where the "clean up money" went. Probably into the State Legilator's Pockets or elsewhere.

Anyway...it's there and thriving. What has CHANGED?...not much of anything.
