Nicholas Triolo walked 20 miles around America's largest #Superfund site. Read about this journey in an adapted excerpt from "The Way Around: A Field Guide to Going Nowhere," from Milkweed Editions:

Attention #Richmond residents! A Superfund site known as #UnitedHeckathorn is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
On 4/23 the #EPA will host a Zoom call to engage with the community where they will describe why the last cleanup failed and the plan to move forward.
Please bring your questions for EPA and state officials! https://usepa.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8SlhuBdVTZ-xuoEGnusbZA#/registration

Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025 w/
Fatima Iqbal-Zubair of
California Environmental Voters
Christina Scaringe
Center for Biological Diversity Climate Law Institute
The Make Polluters Pay Plan would require big polluters to pay a fee based on their share of the past 20 years of carbon pollution that's been emitted into the atmosphere. The money would then be used to deal with the impacts of climate change and costs of transitioning to a clean energy future.
Topics to include:
· What's in SB 684/AB 1243
· What it would mean for California
· What we can do

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL EVERYBODY!
I'm listening to Alex Wagner's podcast from a couple of weeks ago talking about how the #DisasterPresidency is decimating the #EPA.
And I think…
They're also trying to shutdown #FEMA.
…and the #NIH.
…and put a lunatic in charge of #HHS.
…and ignored/dismissed #Covid.
…and are ignoring #BirdFlu. And #Measles.
…and dismiss #ClimateChange.
…and defunding #Superfund toxic waste cleanup.
…and in his first term, repealed laws against dumping toxic coal ash.
@bud_t @w7voa
I don't know if the people dismantling everything good/helpful/positive about the federal gov't think this far ahead (doubtful), but…
…to put all this stuff back after #DonnieDumbass does away with it… #VOA, #FEMA, thousands of #IRS agents, #Superfund Cleanup, #DeptOfEducation, etc…
…it's going to cost SO much money just to put everything back, #Republicans are going to run on "#Democrats want to explode the size of government" for the next two decades. 🤬
I came across this EPA report on the 2011 New Idria Mercury Mine remediation when researching my latest YouTube video. It is complete with photos and I found it quite fascinating.

Hochul signed
"Under the new state law, companies responsible for the bulk of emissions from 2000 to 2018 will be on the hook for some $3 billion a year over the next 25 years.
Hochul’s signature makes #NewYork the second state with such a law, following Vermont, but the Empire State is far larger, more populous and a major center of American and international financial power."

#superfund
"#NewJersey is home to numerous oil and natural gas facilities. They would be charged fees to help the state fight the effects of #ClimateChange under a bill being considered in the Legislature.
The measure, to be discussed Thursday in a state Senate committee, aims to create a Climate #Superfund similar to the [Federal Superfund created] to clean up toxic waste by charging petroleum and chemical companies an extra tax to fund ongoing cleanups."

Kit Carson Electric Cooperative is set to receive a $95.6 million federal award for its proposed Questa Green #Hydrogen Project, the utility has announced. The hydrogen project is intended to benefit the electric co-op’s entire service territory in Northern New Mexico while repurposing #reclaimed #water from the closed Chevron molybdenum mine, now a #Superfund site, to manufacture hydrogen. #grant #funding https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/questa-hydrogen-project-getting-over-95m-in-federal-funds/article_6eaf729a-81ad-11ef-b414-dfd97a65a1ec.html

I'm having a super fun weekend working on my #Superfund #appellate brief! 🛢️🎉 It's due Tuesday.
This brief requires a mix of something I love (human rights policy) and something I despise (an overwhelming & unnecessary amount of seemingly arbitrary procedural rules), but I'm making good progress . 📚🖋️☕
