Injection Well in Romulus, Michigan

 On August 3, 2023 Governor Whitmer of Michigan signed an Executive Director to speed up state permitting processes.


Executive Directive 2023-04 was touted as eliminating red tape but it actually cut out the role of citizens and those most impacted by the dangerous activities that Michigan permits.

It was supposed to provide accountability on deadlines while putting science and Michiganders first but instead has created a state sanctioned drive to make Michigan State the First Choice for Toxic Waste - FCFTW in the United States and Central Canada.

Shortly after the East Palestine Ohio Rail Disaster of 2023 toxic materials from that massive chemical spill were transported immediately to Michigan for disposal at an injection well in Romulus, Michigan that had recently been approved by a small group of people in a library meeting room without public comment.

After pressure was brought to bear public comment was finally accepted as the commenting period was reopened. In spite of intense opposition and against common sense, common decency and without any appreciation nor understanding for science and the damage these materials do to the environment and human lives the State of Michigan has decided to accept money in exchange for the safety and well-being of the families of Michiganders and our neighbors.

On September 19, 2023, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division (MMD), issued an injection well license to operate a facility located at 28470 Citrin Drive, in Romulus, Michigan

Strangers Among You

  Strangers Among You   By Alfred Brock   Introduction   This book talks about why migrants and immigrants are risking their lives to cross the border into the United States and become Americans.  It is a plain, simple telling of the Martinez family as they make their way from the countryside of Costa Rica to Detroit, Michigan.                 It is built, of course, upon the American dream and the American that exists in the United States of America.   More than that, however, it details the very real reasons people have for leaving their country to go to the United States.  Not enough people are aware that these people are leaving life and death situations.   They are coming from places that cannot be gone back to without a great deal of work and fixing.               ...

Toxic Nuclear Waste Dump in Van Buren Charter Township, Michigan

Below are reasons for covering a toxic waste dump - none seem to apply in Van Buren Charter Township Toxic waste dumps are often capped with a system of barriers designed to prevent the waste from contaminating the environment. These barriers typically include multiple layers of materials, such as:  * Clay liner: A thick layer of compacted clay, which acts as a natural barrier to water and contaminants.  * Geomembrane: A synthetic liner made of high-density polyethylene or other materials, which provides an additional layer of protection against leaks.  * Drainage layer: A layer of gravel or other permeable material that helps to collect and remove water from the landfill.  * Gas collection system: A system of pipes and vents that collects and removes gases, such as methane, that are generated by the decomposing waste.  * Final cover: A layer of soil and vegetation that helps to blend the landfill into the surrounding landscape and prevent erosion.    ...
