Public
Placed in Dangerous Binational Crossfire
The US Coast Guard’s proposal to conduct live
fire training on the Great Lakes to the surprise of the Canadian government
and citizens of the US and Canada underlines the need for stronger
binational cooperation and communication. This time, however,
mistakes could mean injury or death to a public caught in the crossfire.

An
Unsettling Settlement
In
June New York State announced
that Occidental Corporation would pay $12 million for damages to natural
resources. Though the importance of this deal cannot be
underestimated in terms of engaging in clean-up actions now, the deal also includes a clause
that would release Occidental Chemical from liability for its current and
past operations on the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River.
Is
this a deal with a short term gain in exchange for a dangerous long-term
risk? What if the containment measures fail? Who will be
held responsible if some of the most frightening dumpsites on the planet
spring a leak?

deal and the Great Lakes' toxic legacy...
