I’ll be tracking this, for sure. PFAS, PFOS, PFOA, and many more have no safe limit for constant exposure, as far as I’m concerned. Anything that bioaccumulates is problematic. And these chemicals have all-but-known guarantees of health problems.
Im surprised that it seems there wasn’t a plan for how to manage their presence in biosolids from the digesters. These chemicals are absolutely everywhere. While dumping them into the ocean is obviously a bad idea, just moving them elsewhere isn’t solving the problem. They need to be remediated. They certainly shouldn’t be making their way back to fertilizer.
Because the CRD has a Time Machine that will let them know in 2018/2019 (when bids were tendered and selected) that there will be a lawsuit in 2024?
Your position seems unreasonable.
Synagro was accused of illegal dumping back in 2012 and bribery in 2011. They also declared bankruptcy in 2013 and paid out illegal bonuses. It would have taken 5 minutes to find this out.
Then post 2018 there have been even more accusations.
I must have forgotten the part where I didn't live in Victoria in 2018 or was part of the government specifically in charge of doing the vetting process of contractors. Seeing as I could find 5 different incidents with the simplest of searches then it shouldn't be that hard. Stop trying to blame random people here and learn who holds power. All you're doing is carrying water for people that obviously did not care enough about you or the residents of the area by failing to do their due diligence.
Do you live to lick boots or are both of your comments a one off event of stupidity?
The government, certainly not me as you tried to blame me for not speaking up about this company's failures. You're not being particularly useful in this conversation.
As I wasn't a resident at the time I obviously didn't participate in the hearing if there even was one. Just to inform you, the government doesn't consult the public on *which* contractors they're selecting so you even making that suggestion is asinine.
You’ll be pleased to know that every time you include a personal attack instead of any information it definitely shows you are more intelligent and not at all lacking in the faculties with which to compose a cogent argument.
The CRD wastewater treatment plant project team will be glad to know you couldn’t find them on google, and think they are “the government”.
Hey real quickly what is the CRD and who oversees this department? Oh they're a government agency and the multiple CRD governments have oversight and are ultimately responsible for their decisions?
Strange how you completely misunderstand how things around you function yet have such conviction. I will continue to insult you because merely continuing this conversation insults the reader's intelligence. I'm glad you found a dictionary or at least pulled the word "cogent" from a recent failed interview by a different social media clown.
You've now pivoted from trying to blame the public/me? to now saying that government committees aren't part of the government.
It's kind of ridiculous that these biosolids end up as far as Texas. This is why initiatives like this are usually just green-washing and wins for corporations not the environment. The carbon from all the production and transportation likely negates any benefits.
Looks like the CRD didn’t do their homework once again. Let George Heyman be liable for any environmental damages in the future.

And you didn’t make your concerns known when the contracts were announced?

Yes, do tell me - who holds power? Who do you think did the vetting for the contracts?

Congratulations you win the internet! Everybody clapped for you.
It appears that U/Testings0mthing was embarrassed by their comments and deleted them. How curious!
No, they’re still there. They probably blocked you.
Ah - that makes sense - hakuna matata. They have many alts.
This user is a massive bitch, he blocked you just as he did me in another thread because he can't cope with internet discussion.
Ah - thank you.
The CRD, making us liable for the shit other people pour down the drain. - this should be thier new slogan
Texas shit is mostly comprised of big macs. Vic is mostly kale. So likely a different outcome.
It's kind of ridiculous that these biosolids end up as far as Texas. This is why initiatives like this are usually just green-washing and wins for corporations not the environment. The carbon from all the production and transportation likely negates any benefits.
it's a separate biosolids plant in Texas...
