<<Who doesn't remember the Love Canal, Sonny? >> Remember the Gore family connection? No, not that Gore claimed to have cleaned it up all by his lonesome but the Gore connection to OXY who was involved in making Love's canal toxic and covering it up so people lived on it and built schools on it? ublib.buffalo.edu Box 64 Occidental - Durez/ Hyde Park/Bloody Run files - 1979-1989 Legal Documents, including hearings, stipulations, record or decision, affidavit, and memorandums, articles, reports, news releases, and by-laws, 1979-1989, concerning Occidental Chemical Corporation/ Hooker Chemical and their Durez, Hyde Park and Bloody Run Sites.

Hey Dave, besides Love's Canal good old Earth in the Balance Al has killed the Caney Fork River. sweetliberty.org It seems that Ole Al, who: Not only plowed the farm with mules; Cleared land with a double bit axe; Invented the internet; Finally repaired his tenants sewers; Ghost wrote the book, "Earth In the Balance".... also owns a large Zinc mine very close to his home in Tennessee. No mention of this mine can be found in either the book "Earth In the Balance" or on Mr Gore's website. In fact about the only place it can be found is as a $20,000 a year mining royalty on Mr Gore's tax report and in the land transfer records of Tennessee. The Wall St Journal provides a nice aerial picture of the Pasminco mine along with the nearby Gore homestead. So what kind of a Zinc Miner is old Al? Well Not too bad for the most part. But there have been some problems. Problems like the presence in high quantity of Barium, Iron, and Zinc in the Caney Fork river. The soils of the riverbank are also showing the presence of Arsenic, Chromium, and Lead with traces of Cyanide. While these are not in toxic proportions they are far higher than the surrounding soils. And far too high for someone who purports to be an environmentalist.
