Zooming in on this meeting right now, looks like some of the info is covered at the FDA website. It’s still in the bureacratic/testing pipeline towards being declared a Superfund site. Interesting to see how these agencies work and make decisions in our community, in real time. It’'s all moving shockingly slowly - apparently partially due to how long it takes for individual sample results to come back from testing (they’re still waiting on data from March samples.) But they’re currently guesstimating over 601,000 gallons of super toxic chemicals on site: pentachlorophenol, heavy metals, caustic chemicals. Lots of neighbors reporting still significant odors coming off the plant. (Took 40+ years of people complaining and dying of brain cancer before Baxter came onto DEQ’s radar and they began fining Baxter for blatantly illegal practices.)

    Makes me wonder how the owners slept at night, knowing they were poisoning the people they worked with and their own community.
