FCRA Attorneys to take on Environmental legal fight for
DeSoto County residents against railroad giant CSX
|
|
|
|
DeSoto County, Fla. – FCRA President met with DeSoto County residents at the
Nocatee-Hull Creosote Site to get a first hand look at what is known historically
in communities of color "environmental racism". For decades, Seaboard
Railroad, Inc. of Jacksonville, now owned by CSX, discharged waste water into
an unlined pit, according to a 1984 consent order filed with state agency known
then as the Department of Environmental Regulation. State regulators found
elevated levels of anthracene, fluroanthene, pyrene, and benzene in abandoned
concrete sumps left over from the railroad tie treatment process.
Creosote: "Witch's brew" seeped into the soil and underground water wells of
these residents; exposing them to health hazards. The Federal EPA, Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), other government agencies
and CSX must do the right thing for the Nocatee-Hull residents, and the Florida
Civil Rights Association is here to make sure they are held accountable.
