I’d be willing to bet that they dredge up some really odd stuff...

the Hudsons last significant toxic legacy from an era of unfettered industrial activity and dumping. Just a question: Is it "dumping" if the material you released was considered innocuous at the time you released it? As opposed to illegal (at the time) dispersal into the environment?
This could have a big effect upon operations that have relied on coal-burning, among other things...

There are several people who believe this just stir up crap that’s been covered over for years.

Re:
Twelve dredges are to work round the clock, six days a week, into October, removing sediment laced with the chemicals known as PCBs. Mile-long freight trains running every several days will carry the dried mud to a hazardous-waste landfill in Texas. Gadzooks! If that ain't a reason to secede... what is???
Oh, well, time for the season final... of "Desperate Housewives" for us Desperate Old Housebots!

This is in my old neck of the woods. We used to swim in the Hudson all the time and I don't have green skin or three eyes yet.
While I don't know a lot about this, I do remember reading that stirring up all this sentiment will be worse than just letting it be.

See my post #9.
I also remember being told that PCB used to be put on the dirt roads to minimize dust. How come no one wants to dig up those roads?

Yeah that is the excuse the Florida enviowackos use for banning drilling for oil or gas off their Gulf shores!

A few years ago I was at the beach and there was so much oil on the shoreline/ in the water it was incredible. I went through an entire container of baby oil to get my feet clean.
No drilling was going on then.

****Twelve dredges are to work round the clock, six days a week, into October, removing sediment laced with the chemicals known as PCBs.****
We have a saying...”When you stir old s#!t it still stinks as bad as the first time!”
Why not leave it alone where it will be covered by other sediments instead of polluting Texas!
