Re: Sewer Disposal
Why not propose it? The EPA is just another govt. entity that can be
bargained with/grant exemptions. We've gotten them. They can't say "no
RM down the sewer " bec some goes down there every time it rains. If you
have a 55 gallon drum of desiccant bags, it reads about 25 to 100 uR/hr.
The stuff is bentonite clay, unrefined, with natural uranium. Why not
dump it?
