ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE AGAIN?:
ST. AUGUSTINE CITY GOVERNMENT'S TOXIC DUMPING IN LINCOLNVILLE AND OLD CITY RESERVOIR --
PUBLIC MEETING 6:30 PM, Thursday, December 13, 85 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd, St. Paul's African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church
Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulators and the City of St. Augustine have -- without public hearings -- made a deal to return 35,000 cubic yards of contaminants including thallium, arsenic and volatile organic comoounds (VOCs) -- back to Lincolnville, where the city illegally dumped (South end of Riberia Street). Ask questions. Demand answers.
The waste disposal of the City of St. Augustine long resembled that of Houston, Texas -- PIBBY -- Put in Blacks' Back Yards. Enough.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
