Since July 2018, the organization has been conducting a subsurface exploration program in preparation for constructing an underground tunnel system that will direct combined sewage to the AlexRenew wastewater treatment facility.The subsurface exploration program has involved boring and collecting soil samples at 70 locations. It was during exploration at CSO 001, the outfall near Oronoco Bay Park, that RiverRenew came across the lead, according to Caitlin Feehan, program manager for RiverRenew.After coming across the elevated levels of lead in the soil, RiverRenew conducted more borings to understand the size and scope of the impacted soil.There are about 22,000 total cubic yards of soil the size of about seven Olympic sized pools at the CSO 001 site that will need to be excavated to allow construction of the tunnel system. Of those 22,000 cubic yards, about 3 percent, or 660 cubic yards, is impacted by lead, Feehan said.Because lead can be dangerous, RiverRenew is taking extra precautions to remove the impacted soil.”When we found the lead impacted soil, we took it a step further and are incorporating additional controls to handle the soil and further ensure that residents are not exposed to lead,” Feehan said.The removal process for the band of lead will involve loading the soil into watertight soil bags, individually loading the bags into a lined truck bed, covering them with a tarp and tying down the tarp, Feehan said.

IIRC the 90s law you referring to was part of an attempt to slash the Medicare budget. One of the major political parties in the US is opposed to pretty much any government involvement in healthcare since they believe private industry will be more profitable. Which is of course true the health insurance industry is making record profits which would be pretty much destroyed if the US were to implement any sort of universal healthcare.

Available information paints an alarming picture of the widespread recruitment and use of girls in armed conflicts across the globe, including those in Afghanistan, Colombia, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Nearly 75 per cent of conflicts today involve recruitment of children, and well over half of these have included girls. The data also tell us that the longer a conflict continues, the more likely girls are to be recruited and exploited by armed actors..
