There's an abandoned rail yard and roundhouse site in Roseburg. They used to treat railroad ties by dumping a tanker load of creosote into a hole in the ground and soaking ties in it. The black goo is still seeping out of a vertical ditch cut on the west side, and the ditch runs right into the river. The remnant of boiler repair from the age of steam is a layer of asbestos insulation, lead, and other random materials. Nobody was concerned about cleaning up their mess in the olden days. We're still living with it.

This the roundhouse foundation in Roseburg?

We just know better now. I grew up playing with mercury and following the DDT Fogger Truck down the alley.

Yep… I’m worried myself on the DDT truck as we though it was great pacing with our bikes…

We used to follow the DDT fogging truck on our bikes when it would drive through the neighborhood. I can remember someone breaking a thermometer in the streets and us kids playing with it.

Then in Florida I can remember the old DC-3s flying over head, usually early in the morning, spraying for various bugs. They planes were no using DDT at that point.

Malathion is my guess?

That's the site. The ditch is on the left side of the property along the street. The old creosote soak pit is part of the rough ground on the lower left.

Thanks. I've mentioned here before that I collect current and former roundhouse locations in the US. Kinda a weird hobby, but hey, I could be drinking in bars.

Yep, that is what the planes were spraying!

There was a recent article from the Netherlands was about a grocery store that stopped selling a certain brand of bottled water. The bottled water was processed from sea water made drinkable by reverse osmosis powered by solar panels. Activist(s) were complaining that the water was made from sea water, people were drinking bottled water in the first place, and there was a problem with recycling the bottles. The article was vague on why the grocery store stopped selling the water.
