So, how contaminated is our rain going to be?

[Walleye Hunter]

Someone explain why ever time it rains, the next day my truck looks like it was driven on a highway with rock salt.
And it hasn't moved from its parking spot in days.

The winds are coming from the ENE when it rains and you're getting the fallout from the Fels Naptha smokestack?

[Story]

East Richland currently has an air quality of 1300, when anything over 300 is bad.

Acid rain? How the fuck do you dilute acid?
A-triple-F? Give me a fucking break.

Y'all probably still think people are lighting their tap water on fire in Dimock too.


DOOOOOOM!!!!!

I actually did witness the tap water lighting on fire, first hand, in Ligonier. The house got its water from a spring on the farm, and shallow gas wells were just installed on the farm. Open the faucet and you got a poof of natural gas which you could light on fire to show the neighbors, then normal water came. The gas company brought out a temporary water source for the house which they maintained for a year until the spring cleared up.

Nobody gets out of here alive.

True. But I would like to die of a heart attack from too many cheesesteaks and not from poisoning.

I know people who have seen "first hand" mountain lions in PA and Bigfoot and ghosts too.

Sniff, sniff, there's an odd burning smell outside here.

And the EPA morons who ordered the controlled burn, will continue to collect their inflated government checks and pensions. The cover-up is already going on.

In your expert opinion, what SHOULD they have done?

thats the issue, as is there is no easy answer. Vinyl Chloride is extremely flammable and can explode if heated. but its also toxic when inhaled especially to children. Burning it hot enough breaks it down to Hydrogen Chloride, which still isnt good and when dissolved into water it becomes hydrochloric acid, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. the other issue is VC can get into soil and groundwater easily.
