No way. It's just how much do you care. Politically it's the greatest concentration of GOP in DC. They care a bit less about the environment.






Hardly. It's as liberal as it gets

Wait ... AU Park is also not safe?


Here's the offical map. Spillover possible.

Wait are American University and the Department of Homeland Security in that map? They are potentially contaminated? It’s not just houses?


It looks like DHS is just outside the red outline on the map, but I find that curious.


The contamination, if any, at AU or DHS would be from spent shells which is far less serious. Things were set up so that they shot everything to the west across the valley towards the reservoir. It was also down in that area where they tied up the goats (etc) next to the chemicals and the shells. Finally, west of AU is where they dumped and buried the excess chemicals. They did not shoot to the east because there were a few horse farms and other occupied areas that way.

Apparently there was something at Catholic U as well and a bunch of lewisite was dumped into the Chesapeake Bay

We looked at Spring Valley but ran away. They have been remediating for decades.

Apparently someone fainted in the Sibley elevator shaft and they had to clean that up. The sump is contaminated with perchlorate. All in the reports.

Wow. Pages 7-10 show a pretty conservative (based on the narrow fab range) estimate of how far the toxins were fired into the Westmoreland Hills.

This entire thing is based on the 1918 maps; no one in fact knows for sure. I personally have no trust that the contamination would stay within neatly drawn street-based boundaries of the streets built decades after the fact. Safest to draw a big margin.

Note how the map neatly follows the administrative borders. Like, really?
