麦田居民的健康警报
Napoli Shkolnik (and local counsel Christen Civiletto and co-counsel Smith Stag LLC) client Brett Grawe was recently interviewed by Local NBC 2 regarding the toxic landfill located in the Town of Wheatfield. The firm has put the Town of Wheatfield on Notice on behalf of Brett and four other local families. This means that these residents have a claim against Wheatfield and they intend to sue.
正如布雷特所说，他们“难以置信”镇和州环境保护机构都告诉社区垃圾填埋场不会给社区带来风险。他接着说，他和他的邻居对位于他们房屋后面的垃圾填埋场感到“害怕”，因为测试结果显示，他们房屋内和周围的土壤和灰尘中砷和多氯联苯等致癌毒素的含量很高。
布雷特和他的律师认为，这些化学物质多年来迁移到了他的财产中，并且这些毒素与拉夫运河的化学物质相匹配，环境科学家将这种情况描述为“令人震惊和非常令人担忧”。事实上，一年多前，埋在麦田垃圾填埋场的 80 辆自卸卡车装载的拉夫运河废物已被清除，但居民希望采取更多行动并得到答案。
该垃圾填埋场被命名为超级基金场地，这意味着它对“公共健康构成重大风险”，许多环境专家已警告健康危害，但该镇尽管承诺这样做，但仍未在垃圾填埋场设置围栏。
房屋正在出售，但没有买家，垃圾填埋场仍然没有任何安全措施，但布雷特已经收到 DEC 的来信，说一切都很好。
2015 年 12 月，尼亚加拉卫生公司垃圾填埋场被纽约州环境保护部重新归类为对公众健康的“重大威胁”。请注意，这一变化发生在该州 25 年来确保周边地区的人们认为垃圾填埋场是安全的，并且没有与生活在垃圾填埋场附近相关的严重健康威胁。该垃圾填埋场已被宣布为超级基金站点。令人震惊的是，该站点没有围栏，仍然可以通过步行或休闲车进入。
