"WHAT'S IN YOUR DRINKING WATER"?

Place this link into your address bar if you want to know "What's In Your Water": look for Red Clay Creek that where most of NortH Wilmington Drinking Water Comes From!If you have a pool chlorine test kit use it today, heavy rains usually spike the Dosage of Chlorine (Bleach) that'sut in your drinking water.
By keeping a gallon in your refrigerator, the chlorine will be gone by tomorrow, but the other toxins you will be crinking!!!

Would you like to know ehat travels through Delaware, what is really in the Water Your Water you and your family drink. If it is from Red Clay the only resource is found in warning about what little fish you can eat from there.

The toxins in RED CLAY Creek CAN'T BE FILTERED OUT. cCould this one of the cause for the high rate of cancer In Northern Delaware.

Secretary Hughes seems to hide this information well!!!!!!!!

This is no: 'This is Your Life Show on TV".

It real life and what may impact your family sooner than later with pain and suffering!

N.B: I saw young children fishing in Stoney Run Creek, wow, do they know a Nurse from Delaire almost lost her hand from infection traced to this Creek, and more rain wash off is in there now from our new Dump site in plain view of our homes on right on Stoney Run Creek!

EPA Settlement with Upper Southampton Includes
Pharmaceutical Education to Protect Drinking Water Sources

PHILADELPHIA (March 17, 2008) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced a proposed settlement with Upper Southampton Sewer Authority in Southampton, Bucks County, Pa., for violations of the Clean Water Act.

As part of the settlement, the authority will conduct an awareness campaign to encourage proper collection and disposal of unused pharmaceuticals in order to help protect drinking water sources. The campaign will include preparing and distributing materials to institutional customers such as local hospitals, retirement communities, and schools about the proper disposal of prescription drugs.

"This settlement is extremely timely given recent information about pharmaceuticals in drinking water. While there is no evidence that trace-amounts of pharmaceuticals in drinking water causes a health threat, we all need to do what we can to make sure our water remains healthy to drink,” said Donald S. Welsh, EPA Regional Administrator for the mid-Atlantic region.

The settlement resolves unpermitted sanitary sewer discharges to Mill Creek from 2002 through 2006. The estimated cost of the pharmaceutical project is $10,800. Under the settlement, the authority will also pay a $16,200 penalty.

The proposed settlement will undergo a 40-day comment period before becoming final.

Looks Like I have more People coming out of the Woods! NoW Drungs in drinking water!!

Read Monday's 3/10/08 News Jounal for Drung in Drinking Water ways. Our Water NORTH WILMINGTON, comes from Red Clay Creek an open water way, now may-be containamated with drugs besides toxins alredy in our source of Drinking Water.
Secretary Hughes of DNREC MORE INTERESTED IN new toxic dumps consisting of treated leaves, evergreens, treated grass, and garden treated waste NEARLY ALL treated by pesticides!!!

Red Clay creek is an open water source of North Wilmington's Drinking water. Should we be treated to toxins in our drinking water?????

A Federal Private Investigations is Necessary. Lets try and reduce any Cancer Threat we have. Maybe they will come to our Rescue?

Beware of pesticides and their impact on health, environment By Sarah Little / Guest Columnist Wednesday, March 20, 2002
Spring is here, so here come the pesticides! But before you reach for yours, please think twice - pesticides are poisons. And before you consider using a pesticide, promise yourself you'll read the label and think a moment about what it says. Be aware that the ill-effects of pesticides on our health and environment are well documented.
Pesticides are hazards to human health
The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that, each year, approximately 20,000 children are involved in common household pesticide poisonings. In the case of acute pesticide toxicity, according to Massachusetts Poison Control, "Harm to the body can occur within minutes of being poisoned by a chemical pesticide. Symptoms include: headache, nausea, diarrhea, stomachache, and flu-like symptoms. Poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact."
The effects of long-term or repeated lower level exposures to a toxic substance do not appear immediately and may take months to years to produce signs and symptoms. In 1983 it was found that pesticide applicators have 3 times the risk of developing lung cancer. In 1986 several lawn fungicides were classified as "probable" carcinogens by the Environmental Protection Agency. One of the products, mancozeb, reacts with sunlight to form a "known" carcinogen. In 1993, a study found that the common pesticide Dursban (chemical name chlorpyrifos) caused immune system disorders in people when their homes were treated with it. In 1995, researchers at the University of Southern California School of Medicine found that low levels of chlordane caused neurological disorders, attention deficit disorder symptoms, and "probably irreversible dysfunction of the brain." In 1996, a study found that working as a golf course superintendent significantly increases the risk of dying of four types of cancer: brain, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, prostate and large intestine. In 1998, the American Public Health Association reported that just a small amount of toxin exposure during critical periods of development can have an irreversible effect lasting a lifetime. In a comparative study in Mexico, children exposed routinely to pesticides demonstrated decreases in stamina, coordination, memory, and the ability to draw familiar objects. In 2001 the United States General Accounting Office concluded that pesticides can have an adverse effect on human health and the environment, and federal agencies should be doing more to encourage pesticide use reduction.
Do you love your dog or cat?
Cancer is the number one killer of dogs and cats in this country. Many pesticides, their breakdown products, their inert ingredients, or their contaminants have been implicated in causing cancer. Your pets' habits, such as grooming and eating grass, increase their risk of exposure to pesticides, and they can't read warning signs to stay off the treated grass of your or your neighbor's property. A National Cancer Institute study found in 1991 that dogs whose owners used common broadleaf weed killers containing 2,4-D, had twice the rate of lymphoma (a cancer of the immune system) as dogs whose owners did not use it.
Tell the world you care
A 1995 survey of homeowners found that "A lawn is considered a source of beauty, pleasure, and economic value; an integral part of one's home, sending a clear message to others about the kind of people who live in the house." Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but a large expanse of perfectly green, uniform lawn without a single weed or blemish also sends the message that the homeowner does not realize the serious environmental and health effects of pesticides. Nor do they realize that they are unwittingly exposing themselves, their neighbors, and their community to risk from toxic chemicals. The point is, you can have an attractive lawn and beautiful yard, without using any chemical pesticides. People all over the country are doing just that by using organic lawn care and native plant landscaping. These techniques have the added benefit of reducing the fertilization and water needs of your yard. You can tell the world you have great taste, AND you care.
Avoiding secondary-pesticide exposure
The Wellesley Pesticide Awareness Campaign is trying to reach every Wellesley household with information and assistance for transitioning from common pesticide use to healthier and wiser pest management, but in reality it takes time to get the word out. Even if you, like many people in Wellesley, don't use pesticides, you can still be subjected to secondary-pesticide exposure. What can you do to avoid this? It is impossible to know the risk from a single exposure, but realize that for each exposure you avoid, you're making a deposit into your health bank for the future. If you transition to organic lawn care, you deposit a windfall, and your neighbors get some too!
this section up to making the switch could be boxed if necessary
Here are some tips for avoiding pesticides in your own Wellesley neighborhoods:
? Teach children to stay away from lawns and other areas where pesticide warning signs are posted. Pesticides persist for weeks to months. Keep children off treated lawn areas even after the pesticide warning signs are gone. Children's health is particularly sensitive to pesticide toxins.
? Avoid taking walks or exercising where you see landscapers applying chemicals, where you find a smelly, chemical odor, or on pesticide granules or powder residues on streets and sidewalks.
? Take off your shoes when you enter your house.
? Keep your pets off treated lawns. They track pesticides back into your own home.
? If your neighbors spray, ask them to notify you in advance so you can keep your children and pets inside, cover play equipment, sandboxes, garden vegetables and lawn furniture, and close windows to keep the spray or vapor cloud from drifting into your home.
? Educate your neighbors and friends about safe, ecological approaches to insect and weed control. Make sure they've seen our new "Healthy Lawns and Landscapes" brochure, available at Bread and Circus or the Town Hall.
Making the switch
If you are interested in transitioning to non-toxic lawn care, the Wellesley Pesticide Awareness Campaign would like to help. We realize it is not always easy to do, and it can take time. But your lawn can be green - AND healthy. Some of our local garden centers are very willing to help you get started on organic lawn care, for instance Needham Garden Center in Needham, and Russell's Garden Center in Wayland. The Natural Resources Commission can offer suggestions for books and resources, and maintains a list of ecologically minded landscapers. You can get on our e-mail list and receive updates on local ecological lawn and landscape workshops, the latest techniques and materials, and to find out about simple less-toxic pest control techniques. And if you want to know more, read up! There are a lot of great books out there in including "Tiny Game Hunting" by Klein and Wenner, or "Edaphos: Dynamics of a Natural Soil System" by Paul Sachs. Visit www.ci.wellesley.ma.us/nrc/pesticide, call the Natural Resources Commission at 781-431-1019 x294, or e-mail us at nrc@ci.wellesley.ma.us. Do it today! We look forward to your call.

Children and Drinking Water from the EPA

For many reasons, children are likely to be more vulnerable than adults to the effects of environmental contaminants. To better understand the effects of these exposures on children's health, the Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research ("Children's Centers") were established to explore ways to reduce children's health risks from environmental factors. The program is jointly funded by EPA through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants program, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) with additional expertise and low-cost laboratory services provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The long-range goals of the program include understanding how environmental factors affect children's health, and promoting translation of basic research findings into intervention and prevention methods to prevent adverse health outcomes. The program is designed to foster research collaborations among basic, clinical, and behavioral scientists with participation from local communities.

Research Leading to Interventions Select to view larger navigable graphic.
ResearchResearchers at the Children's Centers continue to publish significant research results. For example, researchers found that exposure to certain pesticides can be linked to small head circumference and low birthweight, and that Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is effective in reducing children's pesticide exposure.

Who is at Greater Risk?

EPA WARNING.... FROM Delaware Water Report by FEPA on line: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC (Center for Disease Control) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 800 426 4791. For more information customers may call the Delaware Office of Drinking Water 302 7395410 or the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection 610 832 6059.

You don't just start dumping to make a Dump!!!

There are environmental things to do first. Like placing a barrier between the bottom of the Proposed Dump and the Residue that is coming. It is a barrier to prevent seepage. Their is a security with maned sites, or some form of fencing so individuals getting a free dump site don't come 24/7.

There has nothing been do by the Secretary of DNREC Whom decided on the Belview Dump Site Himself.

Do you want an individual that cares so litle about North Wilmington, that he is willing to give us toxic compost claiming we will love it.

It will not be His Children that suffer the after effects.

Why isn't the Insurance Businesses all over this, more medical treatment means more Costs to all taxpayers.

Federal Report of Drinking Water, what's expected to be accomplished!!
