Per the West Virginia Chemical Spill Article attached below; Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky closed the water intake valves for their drinking water supply. This article says Clermont County did not: news.cincinnati/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?NoCache=1&Dato=20140115&Kategori=NEWS&Lopenr=301150061&Ref=AR If, Clermont Countys Emergency Response to the West Virginia Chemical Spill is like this article states, Then, whats going to be Clermont Countys Emergency Response when CECOS Chemicals Spill from the highest topographical point in the County into the East Fork River Valley and pollute East Fork Lake (the largest drinking water reservoir in the area) and the Little Miami River Valley communities downstream? Reference and review the maps attached in each article. Also consider that the One Billion Plus Pounds (1,000,000,000+ lbs.) of Chemical Wastes at CECOS are exponentially more Hazardous than the West Virginia Chemical Spill. That is why I am calling on the Federal and State Government Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs) to designate CECOS as a US EPA SuperFund Site (like the smaller one near Cleveland) and remediate the CECOS site! Like the Fernald EPA-SuperFund Site in Ross, Ohio; the CECOS EPA-SuperFund Site would form Government and Private Company Environmental Remediation Contracts. Like Fernald, CECOS would provide employment with live-able wage jobs ($20.00 - $50.00 USD per Hour) for thousands of workers over twenty plus (20+) years. Fernald was a Four Billion Dollar ($4,000,000,000.00) US EPA SuperFund Project that employed workers in 20,000 jobs over 20 years. Jobs like these are desperately needed in all the Southern Ohio River Valley Counties. As a Candidate for the Ohio General Assembly Statehouse for 2012 & 2016 this is one (1) of several Original Ideas for Green Jobs Creation in my Economic & Environmental Improvements for Ohio Platform. As a Civic Leader, I am calling on all of our State and Federal Leaders to do something before it is too late. The CECOS containment pits were built in the 70s and 80s and were designed to last 30 years. We are Ameri-cans not Ameri-cants and the clock is ticking. This is a win-win-win plan. A Win for Ohios Economy, a Win for Ohios Environment, and a Win for Ohios People!
