Synthesis of HW Oct. 1st
This article discusses a process in which"manufacturing industries are legally disposing of hazardous wastes by turning
them into fertilizer to spread around farms. In a small town in Washington a local farmer had noticed that his animals and crops were slowly dieing. With help from the mayor of his town he did research and eventually found that a local steel mill company is storing its hazardous waste in silos under a federal permit. The silos are located at a company called Bay Zinc. Dick Camp, the President of Bay Zinc says "when it comes out of the silo, it's no longer
regulated. The exact same material. Don't ask me why. That's the wisdom
of the EPA."
