Fracking company that Teamed up with Susan Komen Dumping Toxic Sludge in this Guy's Backyard!

For some time, workers at the company have driven back to a dirt hill on the east end of the property and dumped a remnants of a cement mixture into the woods. The growing pile of the white, dusty residue mixed with areas of a green-tinged, pungent chemical prompted a visit from an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation investigator on Thursday. He said the company has assured him that it will no longer be disposing of its excess cement by dumping it onto the ground. “It certainly is bad practice,” said DEC Environmental Program Manager Steven Russell. “BJ Hughes management agrees with that. They’ve instructed their crews to not do this type of thing again and they’re in the process of developing a plan to clean that stuff up.”

As he walked along the south end of his three-acre parcel Thursday, his feet sinking into the frozen mud and leaves, he talked about discovering the mushy mess leaking into a pit on his property. “This started probably back in early August,” Campbell said. “When I brought this property a year ago, there was none of this here. ... It’s all over the woods out here. I can walk back 100 yards and it’s all over the bushes and trees.”

A dusty film has hardened over the bases of many of the trees running between the two properties, but that Campbell said he is more concerned about the foul-smelling, oily liquid that he cannot identify. He snapped a branch off a tree and used it to dig through a thin layer of ice coating the top of a large puddle that straddles the boundary between the two properties. He smelled the liquid oozing off of the stick and wrinkled his nose.

“They just said it’s nothing more than Portland cement. But that is not Portland cement. That is chemicals of some sort ... I don’t know what it is. It is pitiful stuff. It stinks. I stuck my finger in it one day — I wasn’t thinking to much about it — and I smelled it and it just smells horrible. Then later on down the trail there, I wiped my eye and then it started burning.”

1. DEC taking bribes?

So they don't bother testing it and just take their word for it that they will stop?

2. We could get rid of nuke waste that way

Just fill up the fracking holes with nuke waste and kill 5 million birds with one well!

You can trust they are considering doing just that. In fact, I read once they do pump cesium137 into the holes so they can easily track where the hole filler is going. Cesium 137 is radioactive so it shows up on gauges real well.

4. dry cleaning uses seriously carcinogenic chemicals

this pink crap group is such a farce

These companies are probably writing off their regular expenses like fracking bits and plastic bags and calling them donations.
