(45,319 posts)On the other hand, Sierra Blanca was the site of the largest sewage dump in the country, New York City sent sludge by the trainload to Sierra Blanca for years and years.
The fact that you do not know this, and that you claim nuclear waste was dumped there indicates your interest is entirely exploitative and situational, that you could not find the place on a map.
New York's Sewage Was a Texas Town's Gold
SIERRA BLANCA, Tex. There is not much here anymore, if there was ever much of anything to begin with. The town's main street is coated in dust, and the old movie house is long shuttered. The one sign of activity -- the traffic moving along elevated Interstate 10 -- is a reminder that the modern world rarely stops here.
The other reminder can be found on the outskirts of this tiny town, where freight cars are being unloaded for the last time. The last sludge train from New York City arrived this month, leaving its last shipment of what officials describe as ''bio-solids'' but what others call treated sewage.
The dump in Sierra Blanca, one of the biggest sludge dumps in the world, is going out of business.
