What lurks beneath this old Marine base?
|
(IRVINE, CA) - The Navy will label this fiction but
if you wanted to hide environmental contamination and avoid expensive
remediation from weapons grade U-235, Agent Orange, buried drums of
TCE, then the proposed transfer of the 900+ acres of El Toro’s
panhandle from the FAA to the FBI makes sense.
The FBI plans to turn El
Toro’s panhandle into a training facility “with outdoor shooting
ranges, explosions, helicopter landings and impregnable
fences,” according to the news story in the Orange County Register on April 2, 2012, “U.S. reneging on land deal for wildlife corridor.”
El Toro’s panhandle may be contaminated with weapons
grade U-235, dioxin (the toxic chemical in Agent Orange), and buried,
rusting 55 gallon drums of TCE; the government would label this as wild
and unfounded speculation.
We do know that one El Toro Marine who never served in
Vietnam died from Agent Orange exposure, Dr. Chuck Bennett over 12 years
ago cited two Orange County experts who examined soil samples from the
panhandle and found weapons grade U-235 (the stuff that makes the BANG
in nuclear bombs); and the Navy ignored testimony from an Orange County
environmental expert who reported that TCE drums were buried on the base
to hide them from the Marine Corps Inspector General. Public Works
Department kept no record on the locations of the buried drums, but the
base’s panhandle would be the perfect place for a frontend loader to
bury the 55 gallon metal drums.
