This illustrates a blatent disregard for the seriousness of our toxic problem. There have been decades of neglect by the city to manage the serious and identified EPA problems of the dumpsite, but the protections offered by a government watchdog agency now seem compromised. It looks like the company hired by the city of Stamford TRC Environmental is in bed with the EPA in denying the hazardous levels of toxicity in our North Stamford dump despited identified levels of contamination from reports as late at 2008 that require intervention. What do we do? Would love to hear any feedback/knowledge you may have on this topic.
