May 2014

prefracking days. Nice enough, bucolic, cows, farms and such. However, it was no secret that if something was amiss be it garbage waste, industrial waste or any other crap - it would be taken to West Virginia and dumped either legally or illegally . I can remember a guy telling me he would take toxic waste to WV in his RV in those oil drums and then bring back slaughtered cow and deer carcasses in the same RV for processing/and or/rendering to the local slaughter houses.
