Hello,
My story is unbelievable! We found out in November of 2000 that my
sister's house had been torn down because of heavy metal
contamination from a batery plant behind her house. The company had
dumped their wastes in an unlined lagoon and when it rained the
wastes would run down the hill into my sister's back yard. This all
started around the year of 1960. My sister and her husband and 3
small children (girls) moved into the brand new house that had just
been built in 1969 and lived there for 10 years.
We just happened to ride by the house around Thanksgiving that year,
and seen that the house had been demolished and 4 or 5 inches of the
yard had been dug up and destroyed. We call DHEC (Dept. of health and
environmental control) and found out that this company had been fined
for years and years for their negligence of the wastes. But of
course, they just paid the fines and kept on doing their dirty work.
So, we filed a lawsuit against the company because our family has
ALOT of health issues and we believe they stem from the poisonings
from the battery company.
Thanks for letting me tell my story and I hope to learn from all of
you about the effects of the poisonings and ways to treat them, too.
Carol
