Alliance sounds alarm on contamination in Oak Ridge

Having done a number of demolitions and remediations on the DOE Oak Ridge Reservation I see this as little bit of NIMBY. A lot of the issues are from a time when there were much less restrictive regulations and some ignorance of the hazards. There is no choice but to deal with it in a responsible manner now. The onsite landfills are for low hazard materials with higher risk materials shipped to offsite landfills designed for the waste. I shipped a bunch myself on some of the projects I worked on. The mercury mentioned was and is a problem out there, but they just finished a facility to process mercury contaminated material. I remember handling mercury in my bare hands in High School science class that would not happen today.

Lots of pesticides and asphalt products on the list. The CCl4 is nasty.
