The firing of EPA regional administrator Mary Gade "opens a new
chapter" in the investigation of the suppression of a government report on
pollution and health, Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak told the Michigan Messenger
today.
To add insult to injury, a 750 MW Dynegy/LS coal plant is planned to
be built on the Tittabawassee River in Midland
just upstream of Superfund cleanup sites. This and the Saginaw rivers have
some of the highest concentration on dioxin ever found in the US. This
plant will dump millions of gallons of waste water daily into the Tittabawassee River about 20 to 25 degrees higher than
normal river water. It has not been assessed if
the higher water temperatures from this plant will cause further release of
dioxin and other pollutants stored in the river.
It is good for Rep. Stupak to investigate the report
suppression. It seems too many think dioxin is a food
additive.
