DoomsdaysCW#LAFires Could Transform Former #Rocketdyne Site into #FEMATrailerPark
January 2025
"#Radiation and chemical vapors on 47-acre #CanogaPark site are too toxic for housing, but could be mitigated to safely house residents displaced by January 2025 fires in above-ground trailers.
- Gross site contamination and development encumbrances prohibit residential housing
- Hundreds of #FEMATrailers, mobile homes and even shipping containers could be placed on site safely and temporarily house thousands of #LosAngeles disaster victims [Or maybe a potential #DetentionCenter? Hmmmm...]
- Efforts to clean up polluted west Valley groundwater could emulate 2024 agreement to remediate fouled east Valley aquifer and provide billions of gallons of clean water
"The former Rocketdyne Canoga Park facility in the western #SanFernandoValley is so contaminated that it is nearly impossible to build anything on it other than light industry even though a developer wanted to construct homes on the site.
"#Chemicals and #radiation severely contaminate the land and #groundwater in and around the site according to documentation obtained by EnviroReporter.com.
"According to astonishing information never before covered in the media, areas offsite and around #RocketdyneCanoga are hot with high amounts of gross alpha and uranium radiation."

A creek with #AtomicWaste from WWII is linked to increased #cancer risk
By Ronnie Cohen, July 21, 2025
Excerpt: "Children who lived near a #SaintLouis creek polluted with #radioactive #AtomicBomb waste from the 1940s through the 1960s were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer over their lifetimes than children who lived farther from the waterway, a new study has found.
"The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, corroborate worries that neighbors of #ColdwaterCreek have long held about the #MissouriRiver tributary where generations of children played.
Radioactive waste found at #Missouri elementary school
" 'We actually saw something quite dramatic, not only elevated risk of cancer, but one that increased steadily in a sort of dose-response manner the closer the childhood residents got to Coldwater Creek,' said the study's senior author, Marc Weisskopf, an epidemiology professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
"As part of the Manhattan Project, #MallinckrodtChemicalWorks processed uranium in St. Louis for the development of an atomic bomb. By the mid-1940s, according to historians, the company began to haul its radioactive waste north of the city, leaving it in open steel drums, unattended and exposed to the elements, next to Coldwater Creek."

Officials order demolition of #US homes after discovering #radioactive hazard: 'Safety is our number one priority'
"We've collected over 41,000 samples."
by Brianne Nemiroff, March 7, 2026
Excerpt: "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tested soil in the backyards of properties along the 800 block of Cades Cove Drive in #Florissant, #Missouri. It found #NuclearContamination between 2.5 and 17 feet below the foundations of the homes.
"The homes were built near #ColdwaterCreek, a waterway that has experienced contamination issues since the 1940s. Now, in February 2026, six of the homes on this block will be demolished.
"Lt. Col. Andrew James, Deputy Commander for the St. Louis District for the Army Corps of Engineers, said to Spectrum News, 'We've collected over 41,000 samples along Coldwater Creek. And although there's still more spots of contamination that we have to get, the data shows that these are the only homes that we have to demolish right now. For the residents in this area, especially the neighbors that are close … safety is our number one priority.'
"Spectrum News also spoke to Gina McNabb, a resident of the block whose home of 28 years was demolished. 'My husband's had #cancer, my kids had illnesses, and that's not to say that it definitely came from this, but now there's a question.'
"Federal authorities have not released the payouts to the affected homeowners; however, McNabb has confirmed that her home loan and moving expenses were paid off.
Those who participated in the #ManhattanProject focused more on physics than on the biological effects of radiation. Eighty years later, experts are still finding radiation in the soil under homes, in waterways, and an increased cancer risk in people living near high-risk areas, as stated by experts in an interview with PBS."

@decapitae There was an initial trial for #PersonalInjury settlements, and there is another case in the works...
"The case before Washam seeks damages for a list of claims that includes negligence, nuisance, strict liability, product liability, trespass, punitive damages, loss of consortium, wrongful death, survivorship and business interruption. The wrongful death claim stems from Courtney Fish, of East Palestine, who allegedly died from the aftermath of the derailment."

Deadlines set for motions in EP derailment lawsuits
LISBON — Columbiana County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Washam set deadlines next month for parties in one of the lawsuits against Norfolk Southern over the 2023 East Palestine train derailment to file motions for or against consolidating the case with a similar case filed earlier in 2025. Washam was assigned to the lawsuit filed […]

Mojo ♻️The Aral Sea catastrophe remains one of history's most devastating environmental disasters.
Once Earth's 4th-largest lake, Soviet irrigation projects diverted its rivers for cotton farming—draining an entire sea within decades.
The cost? Collapsed ecosystems, destroyed communities, severe health crises, and a legacy of damage spanning generations.
A stark reminder that nature cannot be "controlled" without consequences.
