I pray the EPA is on Mr. Trump’s short list. Cut ‘em by 1/3 per year until they are no more. Let go those employees not protected by a union.
Is it as poisonous as, say, toxic mine runoff?
The only pollution of concern to the EPA idiots is that which their C-grade uncompetant buffoons did not cause themselves.
Following CW-II, special guillotines with unsharpened blades will be reserved for EPA slime.
From a related article in TheRepublic.com:

“Workers at the burial ground near Route 4 have been digging up contaminated debris and drums of waste from trenches to be treated and taken to a lined landfill in central Hanford for disposal. The waste came from research and uranium fuel fabrication work at Hanford before 1964.
On Nov. 17, winds that hit 70 to 75 mph pushed sandy grains of contamination that had spread toward the road and two grains on the east side of the road. Contamination was cleaned up as it was discovered.
Washington Closure Hanford told the EPA on Nov. 24 that all radiological material had been collected.
But on Dec. 11, the state Department of Health conducted a follow-up survey on behalf of EPA and found four specks of contamination that had spread outside of areas of radiological control. Three were on the west side of the highway and one was on the east side.”
Just say a radical right-wing white supremacist group with ties to the Tea Party released this, and the EPA will be all over it like stank on crap.
I met an old timer that was stationed at Hanford back in the 50s. He told me there were clouds of yellow gas coming out of the earth and scattered puddles of radioactive liquid waste. he was in his 80s when I met him and had developed cancer.
First they came for the coal fired plants...
but I didn't burn coal...
EPA is looking to manufacture a crisis to manage.
Radiation has units of measure.
How about sharing some data?
Or, do the zeros to the right of the decimal place fill the page?
This is the same nuclear facility that is responsible for the banning of phosphates from detergents coast to coast - because some dingus in eastern Washington assumed that dishwashers and washing machines were responsible for the tons and tons of byproducts that Hanford regularly dumps into the Green River.
