CHARLEY UPDATE: PEACE RIVER CONTAMINATED WITH POISONS
*PIC* Posted By: lawgiver1 Date: Wednesday, 18 August 2004, 10:21 a.m.

At first, we thought the dead fish floating downstream in the Peace River were a result of Hurricane Charley.

But at night, we saw the water glow from our flashlights and realized our worst fears... the river was full of phosphates.

We had been using the river water for bathing since Saturday morning. Obviously, we no longer go near the river that flows not far from our doorsteps.

The Peace River begins in central Florida and flows south 105 miles to the Charlotte Harbor Estuary.

The Peace River is an important source of Florida’s drinking water, supplying about 6 million gallons of drinking water every day to 4 counties along the Southwest Coast of Florida, basically those areas now devastated by Hurricane Charley.

To get at the rich deposits of phosphate in the Peace River watershed, since the 1890's, phosphate mining companies have been boring and scraping out huge pits that reach thousands of acres in size.

One by-product of the extraction process is clay which is stored in settling ponds. Sometimes, the man-made earthen dams of these clay ponds collapse sending uranium and radium contaminated waste clay into the river which then suffocates fish, flora, and fauna.

It also kills the animals depending on that water and flora for survival.

In 1971, a settling pond spill turned Charlotte Harbor “to chocolate milk” according to newspaper accounts at the time. They estimated there were 3 million dead fish back then. In the past, clay slime spills have prevented the Peace River Manasota Water Supply Authority from using river flows for drinking water, forcing counties to seek water supplies elsewhere or rely on stored supplies. Regardless of any future debunker reports that may attempt to rebuff this article, have no doubt or question that the Peace River is - at this very moment - highly contaminated.

All the fish are dead from Arcadia to Charlotte Harbor. The water coming down-stream is muddy and glows at night when flashlights shine on it. The next 2 weeks will prove this beyond any doubt as animals and fowl begin to die after eating the contaminated river fauna and drinking the water. It has happened before. In the future, anyone who drinks water processed from the Peace River, throughout 4 Florida Counties, will be drinking uranium and radium contaminated water.

The effects are said to be no different than the depleted uranium in Iraq. The ironic part of this is that the mining companies have insisted for years that this could never happen.

We the people have fought the Florida State environmental permits that have been granted to these foreign owned mining companies, but we have lost every objection we made to protect our environment and drinking water.

Few know that the majority of the phosphate fertilizers processed from the Peace River mining sites are sent to China.
