Superfund toxic sites and Resorts

Yesterday I spent a great deal of time looking at some of the superfund sites and researching some of the most polluted areas of the country. Its amazing what I came up with. Did you know this administration passed a law that limited liabilty to persons that were not considered the original polluters? Did you also realize that a vast majority of the funds designated for clean-up of these sites has been slashed? Did you also know that developers are going in to these areas, purchasing large tracts of land and building resort communities on this land? I will give you an example....there is a guy obviously with a boatload of money by the name of "Ginn Developement" one area he is building is called "Bella Collina" on the shores of Lake Apopka Florida. The fish and game guys are out there literally watching the birds fall from the sky and watching them convulse and die on the shores. They have picked up over 475 birds, not to mention other compromised wildlife. The Apopka area was considered one of the most polluted areas in the state. Now steps in Mr. Ginn, buys the property for a song and developes a resort community on it....you should see the webpage advertising the place..." A get back to Nature" premise...He is also doing the same thing in Colorado where a mining site is loaded with polluted groundwater.... and by the way, these places are high dollar ...someone needs to expose this guy and the public needs to be aware of where they may be buying into. His comment of developing these sites was " I am improving a depressed area" yea while killing the people he sells too....so the lesson to be learned???? when considering buying property, check out where the toxic sites are!
