Uh oh...River Birch crops up again

Now, the feds are zooming in on a key media figure here in New Orleans...with monetary connections to the landfill.

You'll recall that I've already pointed out that at least some of the contaminated soil/underground tanks from the VA Footprint went to River Birch.

Here's the broad question that must be asked and answered: Where did all of the many tons of debris from the VA and LSU site demolitions end up?  Who got paid to take all of that debris that would not have been generated if Charity and the existing VA hospital had been retrofitted instead?

"The impacted soil...was placed in dump trucks and transported...to River Birch"

Interesting.  Very interesting.

You may recall the post I made some time ago wondering where the many tons of debris from the VA and LSU Footprints were going - debris that would not have been generated at similar levels if the state had decided to reuse the existing Charity Hospital.

Well, a recent public records request (an excerpt of which is shown above) has revealed the destination of some of the contaminated soil removed from the VA site.  River Birch landfill.  As I recall from watching the removal of some of the contaminated soil near Dixie Brewery, the 408-410 S. Tonti site involved in this report, there were many trucks.
