The southern portion is being cleaned up by the Air Force under Superfund. The reason the northern portion of the base is being clean up under the Safe Drinking Water Act is because it is currently still being used for training by the Army. The Air Force no longer uses the southern portion for training purposes. There are 10 major plumes of concern. Each site has been contaminated by chemical/fuel spills, fire training activities, landfills, and drainage structures.

Although drinking water is not yet known to have been affected, the groundwater was contaminated with volatile organic compounds and heavy metals (5). Both of these types of contaminants have been linked with one or several of the following: cancer, liver, kidney, and nervous system problems (4). In July 1979, the State Court required that all material be removed from the site by July 1980 (5). The state has spent over $300,000 cleaning this site (5). According to EPA standards, this site is in the "construction completed" stage of clean up. This does not mean, however that actual cleanup is complete because groundwater may need to be treated more than 30 years before contaminants are at accepted levels (5).

Originally the DAPL was supposed to cross the Missouri River near Bismarck, but it was moved over concerns that any oil spilling would have destroyed the state capital’s drinking water. Consequently, the pipeline was shifted to a crossing approximately 805 meters from the reservation. The Standing Rock Sioux argue that the government did not consult with them enough and that the new crossing includes destruction of sacred spots and old indigenous burial grounds (Sidder, 2016). Moreover, an oil spill into Missouri River would be the death sentence to Standing Rock as it is their only drinking water supply. But the real controversy behind the DAPL is about larger philosophical and ideological issues. It is a pattern of deep injustice from the

Describing the Okefenokee Swamp are two very different passages. Both passages contain interesting ideas. However, one passage seems more statistical than the other. For example, passage 1 describes how big the entire place is. It basically gives you an overview of the entire place not just the swamp itself. Passage 2 describes exactly what is in the swamp. For example sentence 1 says, “Vast and primeval, unfathomable, unconquerable, bastion of cottonmouth, rattlesnake and leech, mother of vegetation, father of mosquito, soul of silt, the Okefenokee is the swamp archetypal, the swamp of legend, of racial memory, of Hollywood.” Yet, while describing what’s in the swamp area, the author gives off a feeling of suspense and then later in in the

These contaminated sites are typically referred to as Brownfields or Superfund sites. A brownfield is a term used to describe land in the United States that is under used because redevelopment is complicated by the presence of environmental contamination.1 State entities work in cooperation with the EPA to delegate management of brownfield cleanup programs. Superfund sites are defined as abandoned sites that require federal action because they pose a real threat to human health or the environment. Congress establish the Superfund Program in 1980 to evaluate and clean up the worst sites nationwide. Superfund site

The main concern was that during rain storms oil and water would overflow into the sewage drains. In 1973 representative of Bureau of Water Pollution Control inspected the site and had concerns of the oil lakes around the site. Overall, the refinery was going back and forth with numerous inspectors who had concerns and due to not produce results of a cleaner area. They were eventually also fined for discharging their wastes into a nearby lagoon which eventually harmed nearby waterways during raining seasons. The USEPA reported that the company should be imposed for criminal and civil penalties. Robert Mahler was eventually issued to ensure he would force a cleanup of the

The DAPL operator announced on Election Day that it had completed construction of the pipeline up to Lake Oahe, which is part of the Missouri River. Furthermore, the company stated that it was preparing to begin drilling underneath the river, but it still lacks permission from the army corps of engineers to perform the drilling. The US army corps of engineers has completed its review of the Dakota Access pipeline and is calling for “additional discussion and analysis” (energytransfer.com), further delaying completion of a project that has faced massive opposition from indigenous activists.
