Love Canal Questions

1. Do you think the drainage system for the rainwater is safe?
2. Can't the rainwater combine with the chemicals and affect the creeks?
3. If the chemicals mixed with Black Creek, wouldn't it affect the source?
4. If it affected the source, wouldn't it spread the poison?
5. If Black Creek Village and other surrounding villages are considered safe, then why are they selling houses for such a low price?

  1. Questions

    1. Is the drainage system to collect just the water, or did they make it so it could collect chemical leaks?

    2. What were to happen if the clay cap and plastic liner were to break?

    3. What would happen if there was a natural disaster? Flood, earthquake, hurricane. Would the clay cap and plastic liner stay in the same place? Would it break?

    1. I do think that the drainage system is safe because it collects all of the runoff water, and chemicals that may have been washed away with the water, and brings it to a filtration system to clean it. After the water is cleaned, it is brought to another filtration system with other water to be cleaned for use again.

    2. I do not believe so because of the drainage system. Since the drainage systems collect the water, it does not get the chance to get into the creeks.
