Cabot-Koppers - THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART! Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Loading...
Uploaded by EPAsToxicTravesty on Oct 29, 2009
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE POLLUTION OF GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA.
1916 - TOM PETTY WAS NOT YET BORN, BUT FOR HIS 59 YEARS, PLUS THE 34 YEARS THAT LEAD UP TO HIS 1950 BIRTH IN GAINESVILLE, THE CABOT-KOPPERS SUPERFUND SITE WAS TO POLLUTE OUR TOWN ... AND ASTOUNDINGLY STILL DOES!
OCCUPYING 170 ACRES AT THE VERY HEART OF GAINESVILLE, A SERIES OF CHEMICAL WOOD-TREATMENT PLANTS - MOST NOTABLY BEAZER CORP. / KOPPERS, INC. - BEGAN THEIR NASTY, NEAR CENTURY-LONG HISTORY OF POLLUTING THE TOWN. THEY USE HIGHLY DANGEROUS WOOD-TREATMENT CHEMICALS, SUCH AS CREOSOTE AND CHROMATED COPPER ARSENATE (CCA).
JUST AS "LOVE CANAL" WAS ONE OF THE NORTH'S WORST EXAMPLES, GAINESVILLE IS THE SOUTH'S "POSTER-CHILD" TOWN FOR AN INTERMINABLY PROTRACTED TOXIC TRAVESTY. IT SHOWCASES THE TRIUMPH OF GREEDY CORPORATE POLLUTERS ABOVE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF GOVERNMENT, AT ALL LEVELS, TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM.
ASTOUNDINGLY, AS IN OTHER US TOWNS THROUGHOUT THE USA, KOPPER'S OPERATIONS STILL POLLUTE GAINESVILLE, RIGHT FROM DEAD CENTER AND OUTWARDS INTO THIS BUSTLING, 185,000-STRONG UNIVERSITY TOWN!
