Podcasts about bridgeton landfill

Michelle and Emily welcome Dawn Chapman and Karen Nickel founders of JustMomsSTL to the podcast. JustMomsSTL have been working tirelessly to bring awareness about the environmental radioactive crisis sitting on the surface of a landfill located 1000 feet from residential communities. Backstory - In 2012, Just Moms STL founders became alarmed by the intense odor emitted from the West Lake Landfill and called authorities. That is when they found out in discussions with the authorities about not only the toxic odors emitting from the landfill but that 2 sections had radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project; soon came the revelation that the dump housed toxic waste in an unprotected site residing in a floodplain near the Missouri River. There is currently a subsurface smoldering fire in the adjacent Bridgeton Landfill approximately 1000 feet away from the radioactive waste. The EPA and other agencies have yet to come up with a solution to ward off a potential nuclear disaster. St. Louis County has gone as far as preparing a West Lake Landfill Shelter in Place/Evacuation Plan in 2014 that was accidentally leaked to a news station. No one knows exactly what will take place if the fire were to reach the nuclear waste. http://www.stlradwastelegacy.com Dawn & Karen are featured in the documentary "Atomic Homefront" available on HBO. Michelle also recommends everyone watch the Chernobyl miniseries on HBO to get an idea of the potential devastation awaiting the St. Louis region if this landfill and radioactive waste is not removed before the fire reaches it. Amazingly, we learned today (8-28-2020) that the EPA has finally started the cleanup of the SUPERFUND landfill this week. We're glad to bring you this important conversation not only for residents in the St. Louis region but for all our listeners because nuclear waste/environmental disasters are not limited to just our backyard.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Nelson Mandela Day is being marked in South Africa and around the world. 101 years ago today, on July 18, 1918, Nelson Mandela was born. He died on Dec. 5, 2013. He became the first Black President of South Africa after being freed from prison, where he spent 27 years for his activities struggling against apartheid as a member of the African National Congress and also the South African Communist Party. Mandela led the national and worldwide movement that brought an end to apartheid as official government policy in South Africa. Joining us to discuss Mandela's life and legacy is Dr. Gerald Horne And for our weekly Earth Watch, we discuss the upcoming North American Climate and Forest Convergence, the underground fire at Bridgeton Landfill in St Louis, Missouri and nuclear weapons waste. We speak with Alex Cohen, co-founder of Earth Defense Coalition.

Focus this week is on “Atomic Homefront,” a documentary about the families in North St. Louis fighting against radioactive contamination of their homes from the illegally buried WWII nuclear weapons waste in Westlake Landfill — and the underground fire at the adjacent Bridgeton Landfill that can’t be put out and is advancing on the radioactive waste.

Episode 10 - Co-host Jess, is St. Louis burning underground? by Kelly Manno

Welcome to another episode, this time with some recording issues; please forgive the robotic voices at times. Toner give the explanation of what happened to Cripple Jay. We also give a correct to Episode 10 from one of our listeners. Joe gives some random Cardinal notes from a recent game. The talk turns to music. Most of the crew recently watched the Nirvana documentary Montage of Heck and talk about Kurt Cobain. The conversation then moves to whether bands of the '90s will continue to maintain success and why that music is better than stuff that comes out today. The discussion ends with Joe breaking down the Deftones/Incubus concert he recent watched. The topic jumps to the Bridgeton Landfill (aerial photo: https://en.wikipedia.org/west_lake_landfill#/media/File:west_lake_landfill_aerial_view.png) and the potential issues it poses. Keeping the conversation loose on serious topics, the gang moves to Jared Fogle, the creepiness of tinted glasses, and the Anonymous/Ashley Madison hacks. This week's Joe Rants include semi-colon tattoos, drunk Snapchats, and Apple Watches. We finish up talking about the first time seeing something that makes you sweat (aka boobs) movie reviews (The House I Live In, American Sniper, All This Mayhem, and the preview of Tiptoes), and talk on different sports commentators The unofficial beer sponsor is Schlafly; we drank their Kolsch. The music is provided by the Chris Stewart Band; the track is titled "Blue Soul and Rock and Roll," which has a clip in the opening and the full track at the end of the episode.
