The West Lake Landfill in St Louis County Missouri is a site where nearly 50,000 tons of radioactive material, left over from the Manhattan Project, was illegally dumped in the 1970's. The site sits adjacent to a landfill owned by Republic Services Inc, where an underground fire has burned for years and is now approximately 1000 feet from the illegally dumped radioactive material. This site poses an ongoing threat to the safety and health of the region and yet has been excluded from the US Army Corps of Engineers FUSRAP program, which is specifically tasked with the containment of sites such as this. This petition calls for our commander in chief to provide a complete, detailed and responsible course of action to resolve this issue once and for all.
