Hopes lie with soybeans for cleaning toxic Orland water

For years, Orland residents have been sitting atop a toxic plume of groundwater contaminated by dry-cleaning solvents.

In-Situ Chemical Reduction (ISCR) is an EPA-approved bioremediation technology with numerous advantages over emulsified oils, which are widely discredited as being non-permanent and terribly inefficient. More details at http://www.adventusgroup.com/pdfs/EHC_vs_Oils...

Yes this is the same area where Crystal Gyser Bottling drilled 2 160 acre ft wells to sell bottled water that sets next to a Ind Painting site and next to a Ind welding site that is by the Orland Courthouse that now resides on a old sewer waste site along with a solvent plume? The County Planning Com. did not study the aquafer and the way it travels under ground that it also sets close to the current sewer wast treatment area next to the airport,I can see their new lable now,Crystle Gyser Toilet Water,There land sets in a low Lying area that caught all the banned pestisides and fertilizers for the past fifty some years.Why Orland Crystal?

We don't buy bottled water anyway so I can't worry about it. I live West of town here and have a well water system. It is tested every few months but the test system worries me somewhat. Can Glenn County Health be trusted with that?

Say it ain't so Stephens or Brobeck, they are actually going to use an extract of a surplus crop farmers get paid a subsidy to grow in an effort to clean up environmental messes? Who would have ever thought. Wonder how much that oil would cost to import to the states if soybeans were not grown here?
