Click on 'X' to close address balloon for full view. Do all of our schools have to be in lousy locations?

What's the regulator's stand or opinion of these hazards? Are these sites reasonable locations for schools? Does "Permitting" operations next to humans make the risk acceptable? Who says what risk is O.K. for Your child?

Thanks for the map Anonymous. It does seem like poor placement, but when you neighbor gives you all that land for $1 people tend to forget what used to be.

Maybe this would be a better thread for Mr. Sacco to comment on the clean air act. Perhaps he would also like to talk about the clean water act. What do you think Mr. Sacco, care to comment?

Roy-Hart to get FMC chemicals list

MIDDLEPORT - Pesticide manufacturer FMC Corp. later this week expects to give the Royalton-Hartland School Board a list of all the chemicals and radioactive materials the company has used in its operations.

FMC plant manager Brian Vain made the pledge after the board sent him a letter containing that request.

The board wants the information so it can call for testing for any toxic materials that could migrate underground from the FMC property to school buildings.

"We want to make sure our kids are not exposed to any toxic chemicals," said board member Susan Hughes. "We need that list because we want to be sure we are looking for the right things since we've never had complete disclosure of what has gone on over there."

FMC has conducted several projects to rid school district property of contaminated soil over the years. But Hughes said several incidents over the past year have triggered some concern, including an incident in February when fumes forced the closing of a high school classroom.

FMC officials said preliminary reports on the ground water testing done this year on school property indicate there is no dangerous concentration of toxic materials and there is "no immediate risk . . . and no impact to students in the buildings."

School Superintendent Paul J. Bona Jr. said the district needs the information to press the government to test the schools for those chemicals to ensure the safety of students.

The School Board last week approved spending $5,000 to hire Dr. Rosalie Bertell to interpret all test findings to ensure district schools are safe.
