Weyerhaeuser massive spraying near fish and domestic streams

Weyerhaeuser massive spraying near fish and domestic streams

This will be published in Eugene  Weekly on Thursday, but wanted to give you heads up!  21,000 acres of spraying just for roads and roadsides within 10 feet of fish streams and people’s domestic(and irrigation) water supply streams all over Lane County and parts of Douglas just in these two notifications.  Probably happening all over Weyco’s holdings statewide!!!

Lane Area Spray Schedule

• Weyerhaeuser Company (746-2511) will spray 300 miles of forestry roads and roadsides in Western Lane and Douglas Counties from Gillespie Corners to Drain, and 400 miles in Eastern Lane County forestry districts with six herbicides plus surfactants as close as within 10 feet of domestic water supply streams and fish streams starting June 29th (Notice No. 781-50322 Western and 771-55409 Eastern Lane).
• Gypsy Moth Spraying (SE Eugene): For assistance with Report of Loss contact Lisa Warnes, VP of the SE Neighbors Association, at 484-2210.

Smoke Detectors: Choose OPTICAL non-ionizing smoke detectors rather than the IONIZING (as in ionizing radiation) that contain radioactive Americium which is more potent than Plutonium. The ionizing smoke detectors are so toxic that Florence will not even take them on Hazardous Waste Day. Most places will not either. The EPA suggest that you send them to the manufacturer and make them deal with them.

According the Wikipedia:

Americium can be produced in kilogram amounts and has some uses, mostly involving ²⁴¹Am since it is easiest to produce relatively pure samples of this isotope. Americium is the only synthetic element to have found its way into the household, where one common type of smoke detector contains a tiny amount (about 0.2 microgram) of ²⁴¹Am as a source of ionizing radiation.^[2] This amount emits about 1 microcurie of nuclear radiation when new, with the amount declining slowly as the americium decays into neptunium, a different transuranic element, with a much longer half-life (about 2.14 million years). With its half-life of 432 years, the americium-241 in a smoke detector includes about 5% neptunium after 22 years, and about 10% after 43 years. After the 432-year americium-241 half-life, a smoke detector’s original americium would, by definition, be more than half neptunium.
