North Dakota - Fracking water - illegal dumping of radioactive toxins
Hope no DU members live in western North Dakota - total mess with radioactive dumping here and there. Radioactive filter socks found in abandoned gas stations, dumpsters, abandoned truck beds, on the prairie, on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, etc.
"There are socks throughout the country that we might never find."
Where Has the Waste Gone? Fracking Results in Illegal Dumping of Radioactive Toxins
One of those people who live less than a mile from the IHD facility is Susan Perry. One day, the local bus driver who picks up dozens of kids who live in Perry's neighborhood stopped by her house to ask if Perry would sign a petition to the North Dakota Department of Health. The petition asked the state not to increase the allowable radiation limits for oil field waste dumped in landfills. Perry was alarmed. She knew the landfill accepted oil field waste but had never heard anyone talk about radioactivity.
