NBC26 , Alan Campbell, Jun 22, 2018 VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — There are questions about radioactive soil and materials coming from out of state to the Wayne County landfill in Michigan.
The landfill is off I-94 near Willow Run airport. Up to 124,000 tons will be dumped.
We’re told this is low level radioactive soil and materials that isn’t harmful to the environment or people, but people who live nearby say they don’t feel it should be dumped here.
“It does make me concerned about the children around here,” said 70-year-old Debra Polak, a resident who lives a few blocks from the landfill site.
The U.S Army Corps of engineers say the soil is from a former military supplier in Luckey, Ohio and will start arriving at the Wayne County landfill next week. …….https://www.nbc26.com/news/national/124-000-tons-of-low-grade-radioactive-soil-being-dumped-at-michigan-landfill
