Landfill being constructed could pollute city’s water supply

OCEANSIDE, Calif. — A large groundwater basin in Oceanside, Calif., is in danger of being polluted by a nearby landfill, according to kpbs.org.

City Water Department Director Cari Dale says the proposal to build a landfill at Gregory Canyon could pollute the San Luis Rey river, which goes into the groundwater basin, over a long period of time, stated the article.

Dale also says a $1.4 million federal grant will pay to see if the groundwater at the Oceanside location can be desalinated to supply up to half of the city’s water supply, according to the release.

I am a realist, I know that Waste must go somewhere, I tend to be into Conserving to avoid waste. As well as Renewable Fuel use Training. We need help in Socio/interaction. Some people listen to only the Media that tells them what they want to hear. So they retort, "oh that Extreme Left Wing Media Propaganda" Please tell me the links to these retorts and I will Face Book them. Greg Chick Certified Trainer, Green Plumbers Accreditation
