It is suggested that the existing and any future disposal pits on the site be lined with impervious layers to prevent leaching into the groundwater system.\u201d The documents also recommend the need for well water monitoring and monitor wells for five years. Although some liquid pesticide residue was removed from the site in 1992, the dump was never properly sealed and closed. The site was fenced off and signs posted. <\/p>\n<p>Allen Biaggi, director of the Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and former administrator of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, wrote on a state website that the site posed \u201cno risk or threat whatsoever.\u201d He said the NDEP was too busy with more important matters to make sure the site was properly cleaned and closed. Mr. Biaggi\u2019s comments angered Antelope Valley residents who noted that environmental reports from the 1980s document the potential that poisons from the site could leach into well water supplies. They want to know why the matter has been forgotten for 16 years and why the requirements for site safety were such a low state priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s outrageous,\u201d said Liz Wear, who lived about a mile from the dump for six years and now suffers from lupus, an immune system disease. \u201cFor 16 years, (NDEP) couldn\u2019t pick up a phone and find out if the pesticide dump was closed properly? They were too busy?\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>Since the investigation, BLM submitted a budget request for cleanup funds and made plans to test soil and possibly water wells for contamination. The abandoned dump site came to light in June after couple went looking for an environmental cause for what they perceived as a disease cluster in Antelope Valley. They documented two cases of rare brain cancers, two rare forms of stomach cancer, a fatal case of a soft-tissue cancer and a case of pancreatic cancer among valley residents over the last 10 years. <\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rgj.com\/article\/20090908\/NEWS\/90907030\/1321\/State-says-toxic-dump-wasn-t-a-cleanup-priority\">Reno Gazette Journal <\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Photo: Photo by David B.

By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2374"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2381,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2374\/revisions\/2381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
