The first results of private testing of soil samples in the disaster area in western North Carolina are in and this initial report is in:
The industrial/chemical level of pollution recorded in the devastated disaster area is six times that of heavily polluted areas in other States which provide a known baseline for comparison. This is a catastrophic and widespread phenomenon that results in hyperacidity --- compared to "battery acid" --- in the impacted soil and river drainages. No seeds have sprouted, no life is returning.
And death continues, with both people and animals being impacted.
The exact source(s) and composition of the pollutants causing this hyperacidity have not been determined yet, but are expected to be released within a couple weeks by two unrelated groups of researchers.
What is clear, is that despite foot-shuffling and grand-standing by State-of-State government officials trying to downplay the serious nature of the pollution and the scale of the damage, our country is facing a traumatic and long term injury that will require state-of-the-art remediation and billions of dollars of reinvestment in the States that have been impacted.
Please stay tuned and keep our friends and neighbors in the Southeastern United States in your hearts and minds as we, and they, face the winter season.
