MAP: These are California's contaminated Superfund sites

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:46:28 GMT

More than 1,300 sites around the country are suspected of being so contaminated, hazardous or polluted – or are at risk of becoming so polluted – that they have been deemed a national cleanup priority. About 100 of those "Superfund" sites are found in California. The Environmental Protection Agency identifies these as places that pose a risk to people's health because they have been contaminated by hazardous waste. Since 1980, the agency has taken charge of cleaning up those sites under a law with the nickname "Superfund." (Its full name is The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or CERCLA.) California's Superfund sites include poorly managed waste management, tech manufacturing facilities, and several military bases. AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile?

Interesting. Frustrating. Potentially even "credible."But nothing that science can work on in its current form.That was how physicists and astronomers interviewed by The Hill described recent allegations that the U.S. government has been hiding evidence of multiple alien crash sites.To take those claims beyond buzzy conjecture, the country needs a plan to acquire more hard data, scientists said.On Wednesday the House Oversight Committee will hold controversial hearings about "unidentified aerial phenomena," or UAP.Those hearings will focus on eyewitness accounts by U.S. military pilots of what have appeared to be strange craft moving in ways that known human technology cannot, and on the broader claims of a cover-up made by former Air Force and intelligence official David Grusch.Steven Greer, ufologist and founded of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Disclosure Project, delivers remarks on his UFO and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) rese...

it’s hard to imagine that Tom Brady, Kanye West and Bradley Cooper have much in common, other than that each is a rich and famous man who has enjoyed success at the top of his respective profession.But it turns out that all three men share an affinity for a supermodel: Irina Shayk. In fact, the 37-year-old Russian beauty could stand at the center of a Venn diagram made up of circles that represent each of the three men’s lives.Cooper, the Academy Award-nominated actor and director, was in a serious enough relationship with Shayk for five years that they had a daughter together.  West, the troubled rapper and fashion designer with avowed white supremacist sympathies, briefly hooked up with the supermodel in the summer of 2021, according to reports, shortly after his high-profile split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen attends the 2019 Hollywood For Science Gala at Private Residence on February 21, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
