Remedy Protectiveness and Climate Resilience in Site Cleanups: Policies, Guidance and Implementation Tools As of November 8, 2021 A product of the Fall 2021 meeting of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (Google Doc web link: Information in this summary is current up to November 8, 2021)

The Conference is designed for and presented by scientists, engineers, regulators,
remediation site owners, constructors, and other environmental professionals
representing universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service
firms from around the world. 

 

The program will reflect the growing body of knowledge about better ways to manage contaminated sediment systems.

The Sediments Conference series is a forum for sharing research results, practical

experiences, and opportunities associated with investigating, remediating, and

restoring the environmental and economic vitality of waterways. Managing these

aquatic systems requires complex actions that affect a diverse group of stakeholders

and touch a wide range of environmental, economic, political and social issues

STL Bioremediation and Erosion Control

Those black snake looking net tubes that are used to control erosion are also bioremediation filters.

These images are from the same  area of StLouis with the 3 Basin Water Pollution and Filtration setup that cleans pollution from water runoff from a stlouis city street and building parking lots.

Here's some close up images showing how well these dentrifying bioremediation systems work when placed at or near ground level.







The erosion control filters are performing an outstanding job.

Notice the uphill side in the images above, the soil and organic matter is building up? This proves the filters are trapping the soil runnoff before it travels into the waterway below.

Yes those are wood chips in the black snake netting

This also means any contaminants in the water runnoff are also filtered in this modified dentrifying biofilter.

Guest Scotty, from St. Louis - Electro-Phytoremediation Process 8-22-2016

Updated information after phone conversation with person planning phytoremediation project to use hemp to phytoextract toxins from soil.

Is this the video you mentioned? https://youtu.be/pVVWcd9bXrA  the video below explains why not everyone should be able to do this UNTIL the system is proven safe.

   I am not afraid of exposing corruption and shortsightedness everywhere I find it.  

I'll be doing another radio interview this coming week sometime about the electrohemp system.

Lonnie Simpson is interviewer. She's anti nuke, understands plight of downwinders being exposed to contamination and all the health issues.

She mentioned the latest stuff I've pieced together that is wanted by Dept of Defense in re to uranium is dangerous for my safety. I'm not worried or scared and I'm going to share this to the world. (In addition to I have found a buyer in the health industry for the decontaminated material)

If you researched EPA suggestions you'd realize they have a goal of turning toxins into cash to offset remediation costs.  My end disposal options do this in 2 or more ways. Instead of the costly glass infusion you mentioned.

Preliminary Remediation Goals for Radionuclides (PRG)

FYI: Paul with Fungi Perfecti informed me: mushrooms will decontaminate nuke rads, but mushrooms still need to be picked up and disposed of [or else the contamination will be reintroduced back into the environment].

Here's the info I shared with the World Wide Hemp group I'm a part of.


 https://facebook.com/HempEnvironmentalForum/?

Lonnie also clued me in on the grant writer who won't consider the organic remediation disposal vs nuke ind suggestions.


It should be pretty interesting interview. She's hip to the nuke ind tactics / shortsighted activist etc.


Fyi: i am not going to mention your name or location but I am going to expose what I feel is shortsighted science because you won't or haven't researched a true solution on this issue.


I'll send more info when we hash out an interview time and where to view it.

Peace,
Scotty

Uranium Water Biofilter Remediation

ElectroHemp blog post on Uranium Reducing Phytoremediation Raft Design

ElectroHemp Phytoremediation Raft designs can be designed to remove any number or combination of toxic pollutants found in water sources

Previously ElectroHemp highlighted how Natural biofilters for toxic metals can be used for Pb (Lead) Removal. This same technique can be used for Uranium (U) removal. 
All that needs to be done is substitute the Raft and Plants that will extract Uranium and it's by products.
Example: A phytoremediation raft can be constructed with these biosorbing products: Tree Bark (Pinus, Acacia), Agro Wastes (Tea Leaves, Rice Hulls) Apple Wastes . With these type of hyperaccumulating plant species: Hemp, Kenaf, Sun Flowers, Mustard Grass, Rape, even some Grasses 
To ensure all the Toxic Contamination comes in contact with the Raft and Plant Roots growing on the Phytoremediation Rafts that phytoextract the toxins. ElectroHemps uses Electrokinetics into the Remediation removal process. Electrokinetics draws toxins where directed.

ElectroHemps combines Electrokinetics, Phytoremediation, and Biofilters into the Remediation removal process. Key point: Electrokinetics draws toxins where directed.

RXleaf- Hemp Cleans Up Radioactive Soil

It's great that RX leaf highlights the value of using Hemp to clean up Radioactive Soil in their Article

Many people get this. But don't realize: 
1) what is the next step? What's a person do with a bunch of toxic plants? 
2) what about the places in the soil that the hemp roots don't come in contact with the toxins? Meaning the toxins are still there. 
3) 99% of any science papers all say: phytoremediation takes a long time. Who wants to wait, when the toxins need removed asap? 
4) shouldn't all birds, animals, and humans be kept away from toxic Hemp plants? Fences don't stop birds, animals, or people. 
5) lots of plants can be used for phytoremediation (400 that I'm aware of). Is it better to have a huge plant to dispose of with X amount of toxins or a smaller plant with the same X amount of toxins? ....

I agree Hemp is great, and is even greater when used in combination with the system our team has figured out that both speeds up the toxic removal and also disposes it safely eliminating all the hazards that so many don't realize.

It's not rocket science, it's phyto science. And the #ElectroHemp system also turns the hazardous waste infected plants into cash!
