I agree with the bit of monitoring it. Even best plans and projections don’t always guarantee success in the long run. Too bad they can’t bring back chain gangs…let the folks who dumped the stuff get 20 years walking in circles chained together picking up anything anybody else just dumps. And like the residents in the area, they get no warning or protective gear.

The picture doesn’t seem to show any hills to me but again, this is another small battle that we’ve all won. It would be interesting if they do capture the methane gas eventually to provide electricity generation or something to that effect.

I think this is great. We have a similar park in our neighborhood. Ours contains low level and above low level radiation. It is now a park over top of the clay container.

I suggest close and constant monitoring of this site for decades. Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach, Virginia is an excellent example of what could happen. The toxins will leach out for decades. Someday, maybe, it might be safe enough for children to use.

This is the sort of news we love to hear, they could also use the methane gas as a source of green energy, it has proven to be successful at several other projects.
