What toxic waste lies below the proposed compressor site?

Miriam Wasser of WBUR digs up details about what toxins lie under the land that Enrbidge wants to build on. We know that it is a very toxic site that should not be disturbed, but Enbridge wants to dig it up to construct their toxic compressor station.

Arsenic And Diesel As Thick As Peanut Butter: What’s Below The Future Weymouth Compressor? - WBUR

(We’d like to note that it won’t be “the future Weymouth Compressor” because we will stop it.)

Excerpt: “Documents filed with the state show the dirt contains arsenic and coal ash, the lightweight, heavy-metal rich substance left after coal burns. And below ground, there’s a pool of old diesel fuel that one environmental expert working on the site said could have the consistency of peanut butter.

Exposure to heavy metals has been linked to cancer, impaired neurological development and other health problems, which is why Enbridge, the company behind the project, is promising to take precautions during construction and help clean up the property. But some in the Weymouth community — including the mayor, who has called the area a "hazardous waste site" — are skeptical of the company's plans.” (Miriam Wasser, WBUR)
