DC: People living near up to 302 highly-contaminated sites controlled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have faced health hazards from pollution for years or sometimes decades, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found.
Those sites are part of the EPA’s Superfund program, which is intended to clean the most dangerous and polluted places in America. But the agency has either been unable or unwilling to decontaminate many of the locations, allowing pollution to fester, a DCNF analysis of more than 1,300 active Superfund sites found.
this is just another pocket issue that can be pulled out when a distraction is needed or money for some pet project-bank account is needed.
The EPA’s job is not to protect the environment. The EPA’s job is to give the government a tool with which to control the people, with many of the people willingly going along.
