Chemicals buried at WT Farms (WT ruining the earth)

Back early in 2000-2003 the farm was fined for illegal dumping, I don't think it involved chemicals, just solids like construction debri, tires.... Anyway I knew the bro. hired to remediate the mess, I think it was just a fraction of what was really dumped in there. I remember wondering why the DEC was letting the Farm off so easy, why they did not make the Farm excavate much more than they did. Back then they did a site clean up, remediation, paid a fine and I think that was the end of it. I thought they got off real easy. If they have to do a chemical clean up now it might be a different story. Could be very, very, very,.....expensive.

The more I think about this, the more significant I think this will be. It depends on how extensive the contamination is. Unintentional contamination is one thing, but to intentionally bury 55 gallon drums of chemicals??? What were they thinking?

No one knows now, of course - but it is a far different thing to accidentally let go of some kind of chemical waste than it is to deliberately bury barrels of it from your printing plant in New York City.

One quart of motor oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of water. Did any of you ever see the ink they used....thick as sludge and the solvents we used to clean the equipment every week was pretty serious stuff.
I wonder if they are moving out of Brooklyn because the environmental laws are too strict in the City. I also wonder if pollution at the Walkill farm was part of what led them to purchasing new property somewhere else ? Easier to move than to clean it up.
I was told last week by a family member in Bethel that there are quite a few people ( esp. sisters) that are fighting different kinds of cancer at Bethel (Patterson) it makes you wonder....

New slogan for the Watchtower Society "Polluting minds and the environment for over 100 years" I hope they really get nailed over this one.

I am learning that this is standard Watchtower behavior.
