A rilanciare l’allarme è la S.C. “Small Business Chamber of Commerce” infatti il Presidente, Frank Knapp spiega al cronista della nostra fonte l’incalcolabile rischio ambientale prodotto dai residuati bellici inabissati al largo delle coste della Carolina del Sud e si tratta di ordigni risalenti alla seconda guerra mondiale. James Porter, ricercatore dell’Università della Georgia pone alla nostra fonte, l’identico problema, ma rivolto alle munizioni affondate al largo dell’isola di Vieques.

Off South Carolina, the military also dumped about 800,000 tons of weapons and explosives. The disposals start about 20 miles off Charleston, at two spots called the Baker sites, just beyond the farthest artificial fishing reef managed by the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. On top of Baker, four sites just off the Continental Shelf — beginning about 50 miles off South Carolina — were among 50 sites around the country where tens of thousands of containers of radioactive waste were dumped, The Wall Street Journal reported this month. The specific number of sites and tonnage of waste have not been revealed. The unknowns are maybe the worst of the problem, said James Porter, a University of Georgia ecologist who studied underwater munition dumps off the Puerto Rican island of Vieques.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
