What DOW Chemical doesn't want you to know about your water

Presidents are not voted in for their Energy know-how => Obama ia a false lying CHRIST~MESSIAH WANNABEE. SOLAR COOKER POWER CAN POWER EVERYTHING ON EARTH. All it takes is a hole drilled and a water streaming into and through the FOCAL POINT OF THE SOLAR COOKER.

That's what you need to know about water now quit looking to a butt wipe President for Energy Answers yur making me throw up.

The Oil/Gas Alliance has nightly ads cheering on fracking assuring it is safe,and has added now the Keystone XL pipeline to it's campaign.Obama has signed on to these misguided energy assaults on the people's health,besides trying to resurrect the nuclear industry.A recent study showed America could get in the West up to 75% of it's electricity from Solar/wind,and slightly less elsewhere.The Republicans are hell bent on destroying the EPA and environmental law.Profits over people,how short sighted,typical corporate psychopathy.

An extreme majority of Americans are getting TOO MUCH ESTROGEN that reduces our muscle our physical fitness. Not enough muscle around the spine causes SAGGING SPINE IN WOMEN.

Ignorant doctors say it's low calcium. HOGWASH! Well no, not completely. Caffeine-stuffed sodas|colas leach calcium from our bones.

This guillotine has two blades and it comes for Thee.

We are being exterminated. We are being exterminated. We are being exterminated. We are being exterminated. We are being exterminated. We are being exterminated.

Americans have been both brainwashed and greenwashed ever since the green revolution that supposedly was going to feed the world through industrialized agriculture and massive land accumulation through privatization of public lands..

Well, it is back to profits once again, no concern for environment nor social responsibility. Sound familiar? Reminds me of Monsanto.....If a person involves themselves with a company that has been, well in the toxic chemical business since 1897, well.... kind figure said person would know or could find out something about said company. Here is a little tidbit I happened across today...."So how does Dow attempt to raise the public's perception of the Dow Chemical Company? Dow Management utilizes well-known and respected individuals like Princeton University's Past-President on the Dow Board of Directors. Princeton supposedly has a stringent Code of Ethics. Certainly, utilizing respected individuals on the Board helps Dow raise the public's perception of the company's ethics and integrity. The over-whelming question here is do these individuals truly understand the type company they are helping to run? There are only two answers to that question - they are naive or ignoring what Dow does or they are a part of how Dow operates. Either way their association with Dow is prostituting the respect they have gained from their association with a respectable organization and their involvement with Dow is then tarnishing that organization's respect" ring a bell? There is no way to sweep the dirt under the rug when you take a few minutes to find out what this company has contributed to our health and safety of humans and our environment.

I live 20 minutes from their headquarters. :(

Down to our shampoo and deoderant we are poisoning ourselves and our planet.

Great video but I imagine she could have gone on and on about the true quality of the water across the planet. This only touches the smallest tip of the iceberg.

"In the video I submitted, which you can watch below, I stress that one of the greatest threats to clean water is chemical contaminants -- and that Dow Chemical has a long history of water pollution. The PR representative emailed to say "unfortunately we can't use your video," but that she would be happy to include me, still, if I would consider re-recording it. When we discussed what that would mean she said, no "fingerpointing"; they wanted a "positive, inclusive discussion.""

They don't want truth, they want "independent" observations of how great they are.

Jack Nicholson to Dow Chemical: "You can't handle the truth!"

Dow Chemical Company has agreed to pay a $2.5 million civil penalty to settle alleged violations of federal air, water and waste regulations at its century-old manufacturing and research complex in Midland, MI.

A 24-count complaint by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice accused Dow of violating the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at the facility.

Dow Chemical Company
Dow’s industrial portfolio includes products for marine and protective coatings.

The complaint, filed simultaneously Friday (July 29) with the settlement in the Eastern District of Michigan, accuses Dow of violating Clean Air Act requirements for monitoring and repairing leaking equipment; for compliance with regulations applicable to chemical, pharmaceutical and pesticide plants; and for failing to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

The complaint also says Dow violated the Clean Water Act’s prohibition against discharging pollutants without a permit and violated RCRA requirements for hazardous waste generators.

VOC, HAPs Reductions Ordered

In addition to paying the penalty, Dow will implement a comprehensive program to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from leaking equipment such as valves and pumps, EPA and DOJ said in a release.

These emissions—known as fugitive emissions, because they leak directly from equipment rather than being discharged from a stack—are generally controlled through work practices, such as monitoring for and repairing leaks.

The settlement requires Dow to implement enhanced work practices, including more frequent leak monitoring, better repair practices, and innovative new work practices designed to prevent leaks, the federal agencies said. The enhanced program also requires Dow to replace valves with new “low emissions” valves or valve packing material, designed to significantly reduce the likelihood of future leaks.

The changes will reduce HAPs by nine tons annually, EPA said.

Background

The case arose from four EPA site inspections between August 2005 and August 2006 and an additional inspection in March 2007.

The result, EPA said, was these infractions.

Clean Air Act. Dow violated the CAA’s National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) at several of the facility’s process units, EPA said. Almost all of the violations alleged involve failure to comply with various NESHAP provisions related to initial compliance demonstrations, testing, monitoring, leak detection, recordkeeping, and reporting.

RCRA. The most serious RCRA violations resulted from cracks and pits in secondary containment structures for several tanks and pieces of equipment. Secondary containment structures are ditches, walls and other types of structures intended to hold in accidental spills and releases of hazardous waste from tanks and equipment.

Clean Water Act. In its CWA permit application, Dow allegedly failed to identify seven additional waste streams that contributed to its unpermitted outfall discharges to the Tittabawassee River. Dow also failed to update its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan to identify and evaluate runoff from several secondary containment structures, EPA said.
