He said that they are currently negotiating an agreement with Marley for <br /> ongoing cleanup efforts. <br /> He said that the toxins had to be removed from roadside ditches where <br /> stormwater took it from Marley's plant site. When asked if <br /> contamination extended to the Mormon Channel, he said that they would <br /> have followed it all the way and cleaned it up till it ended wherever that <br /> was. <br /> He said he has a good handle on the location of the plume of toxic ground <br /> water.

He said that Marley is a public corporation <br /> and was purchased by a huge conglomerate a few years ago. <br /> The State will not assist the victims of toxic pollution except for providing <br /> the results of public records such as tests and actions taken. <br /> A question of drinking water quality answered by an expert: I asked what <br /> kind of filter to use to drink the ground water here. He said he would use <br /> bottled water and not drink it. He uses water from Mt. Shasta he buys <br /> (Black Mountain). <br /> He said that as far as municipal water. It has two problems, chlorine and <br /> their resulting byproduct chloromates, which are very bad for people. <br /> Some filters can remove them though. Next problem is the use of <br /> 3 <br />
