Yesterday we mentioned Clyde Picht's Letter to the Editor to the Fort Worth Business Press in January 2007 concerning the Trinity River and the agencies involved.
He made another interesting point in that letter...
"it was reported the next day that the Authority would spend $240,000 for office renovation. Naturally the “new government” has to have a place to sit. The digs will no doubt be world-class".
This week the Fort Worth Star-Telegram daily newspaper reported the on the new, world-class, $9.9 million dollar Tarrant Regional Water District annex buildings.
Durango shares his take on the Trinity contamination today. Question is, WHEN will someone listen? And will it be too late?
"And now, this morning, we learn that, oh my, what a surprise, serious ground contamination has been found, at an old TXU energy site, where lead contamination is in the soil and vinyl chloride and other solvents are in the groundwater.
An 18 foot deep cement wall needs to be built to stop the contaminated groundwater from seeping into the Trinity River, which I assume it is already doing.
I don't know if the Fort Worth Trinity River Vision project people have ever heard of the EPA Superfund. I suspect maybe not, after all the project is being run by the son of the Congresswoman who represents Fort Worth, a guy named J.D. Granger, who has absolutely no experience in running such a project, but who picked his mama well."
