River notes...
treatment sites in many other states.
At least some of these sites have
been contaminated with the most
dangerous type of dioxin. TCDD,
an impurity found in the Vietnam-
era defoliant Agent Orange, is about
2500 times more carcinogenic than
hexavalent chromium, the highly
toxic compound made infamous by
the movie Erin Brockovich, ac-
cording to the EPA.
Dioxin at The Dalles
The Columbia River Inter-
Tribal Fish Commission and its
four member tribes are calling on
the Oregon Department of Envi-
ronmental Quality to launch a
“comprehensive investigation” into
dioxin contamination at a Union
Pacific-owned Superfund site in
The Dalles.
CRITFC spokesman Chuck
Hudson says DEQ should renew
its dioxin investigation at the site,
even though three decades have
passed since the search ended.
“We strongly urge DEQ to con-
duct further investigation,” Mr.
Hudson said. “Given the broad
area, both on land and river bot-
tom, known to be impacted by the
decades of contamination a com-
prehensive investigation is
needed.”
The public has reason to be con-
cerned about the extent of dioxin
contamination at the site: Wide-
spread dioxin contamination has
been found at similar railroad tie
Drugs and fish
Potent drugs found in West
Coast sewage threaten chinook
salmon, a study reveals.
An expert in environmental con-
taminants who has linked flushes
of treated sewage into Washington
state estuaries to higher juvenile
chinook salmon death rates sus-
pects human drugs found in fish
put them at risk.
James Meador of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric admin-
istration said he believes pharma-
ceuticals found in the contaminated
water—such as amphetamines and
antidepressants—are in part to
blame.
