When Neighbs Poison Your Well

by

RE some recent blurb about a neighbor’s septic system collapsing in Frederick; made me think of teapot tempests.

Fort Detrick biowar contaminations — EPA Superfund site records: EPA ID: MD2210020036 — ‘knew about the cancer causation decades prior to revelation’ — LOL Frederickees arguably have much greater genuine fears than some fecal runoff. On the other foot, if neighb was on some kind of Big Pharma that’s maybe worse, but not by much: Still perfectly legal to sell and use in Maryland, Monsanto GLYPHOSATE is exceedingly toxic though indirectly so, allowing with impunity their ongoing poisonings. Article on this somewhere on Darnestown Net. Pretty hard to compare fecal runoff to industrial/military biowarfare runoff, mass poisonings, intention routine coverup, and ruinous aquifer / well water contaminations — except that Obama’s Science Czar co-wrote a 1,400 page textbook describing means to secretly sterilize and thus depopuate the masses by poisoning the public water supplies. LOL!

Fort Detrick Groundwater Contamination: Summary

Key Facts

Fort Detrick (Frederick, MD) was the center of US biological weapons research from 1943-1969. After the bioweapons program ended, it became a biodefense and medical research facility.

Documented Contamination

EPA Superfund Site: Fort Detrick is on the National Priorities List (NPL) — designated 2009. Two distinct areas:

  • Area A (main post)
  • Area B (off-post disposal area)

Known Contaminants in Groundwater:

  • Trichloroethylene (TCE) — industrial degreaser, carcinogen
  • Tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
  • Carbon tetrachloride
  • Benzene
  • Various heavy metals
  • Biological agents and their byproducts (historical)

Frederick City Water Impact

  • Private wells in surrounding neighborhoods showed elevated TCE, PCE
  • Cancer cluster concerns raised by residents (Thomas Johnson Drive area)
  • Army has provided alternative water supplies to some affected homes
  • Municipal water (city system) draws from different sources but concerns persist about aquifer interconnection

Controversies

  1. Delayed disclosure — contamination known internally for decades before public notification
  2. Cancer cluster investigations — elevated rates reported but causation disputed
  3. Scope uncertainty — full extent of biological agent disposal not fully documented
  4. Ongoing plume migration — contaminants continue moving through aquifer

Key Documents to Research

  • EPA Superfund site records: EPA ID: MD2210020036
  • Army environmental reports
  • Frederick News-Post investigative coverage
  • Maryland Department of Environment records
