This is the area where they brought the red bags of disposables from beach cleaning - Known as Dayville Dump - Eventually 2 incinerators were going - Side by side - Public domain photo courtesy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council. 

 

Not only were there 2 incinerators side by side at the Dayville dump,

the Alyeska terminal incinerator was also burning these.

 

AND... there were continuous trucking of them to the North Star Borough incinerator.... from summer & into the winter,

Maybe that melted the ice a little?

 

AND some was buried.  Anyone know where?

 

AND some was shipped out to a proper disposal area.

 

Unfortunately the chemicals got mixed in with some of these, too,

Per Slim

and per 

"I was a longshoreman during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup.  This one time a ship came in and everyone left.  We thought they were going to lunch or something.  I had the crew go on & start picking up the bags of waste with a crane.  There was this slimy stuff all over the bags.  I pulled my crew off right now.  We went to the doctor.  Some of us had blood in our urine.

 I always thought there would be some follow-up or something.  There has been nothing at all.  Yes, there should be health monitoring." 9-10-02

 

There was a new 'orange haze' in the Valdez sky  *

Since everyone can handle a certain amount of hazardous exposures, maybe it was the smokers, that couldn't "handle it?"

 

Such as Shellie Moeller (lived in Robe River) and Ed Irish (who was a heavy equipment operator, per his co-worker... on the docks of Valdez using a fork lift to pick up the 10 cubic-yard-sized kettles with disposables) for the North Star Borough incinerator.

How much does the North Star Borough burn & 'remediate' soils, etc.? (Located at northern edge of Alaska:  Deadhorse)

The Chinese study has found that the sea ice is not as thick as it used to be:  receding to 8 feet instead of 15 feet in this recent decade.  How will that affect the weather patterns in the world?

Study shared in the Anchorage Daily News, Ocotber 24, 2003 *

 

has your weather changed in last 14 years?
 
They are incinerating a lot in the Arctic
especially 1989-1990  ... and ongoing more than before since then.
 
The Chinese have researched that the sea ice is about 8 ft deep now instead of 15  (changes over recent years is all) & say the weather could change when there is less ice

 

There isn't any such thing as 'bioremediation' at 10 degrees and colder, that's been tested, so how much more chemicals are they putting into the water & how much poisoning of the 'soils' etc that they are supposed to be 'cleaning?'   

Does 2-buotxyethanol in the water raise the temperature?

Or does incinerating - on a continuous basis melt the ice?

Something new is going on

The changes could be serious, don't you think?

Milder weather in Alaska may mean our 'usual' winter in the lower 48?
