Several of you had emailed me regarding my posts of a few weeks ago pertaining to the desecrated cemetaries and the buried dumpsites in the Kowaliga Bay/Hwy 63 area. I do not check that email account often, but I did today, and several of you have responses.
I have been GPSing the exact locations, and will post them soon. The dumpsites in the Willow Point and Trillium areas are particularly concerning, and some are very large and still very active.
To the person with the farm near the site of the old creosote plant, your emails are particularly disturbing, though not surprising. I will be in contact soon as I would like to investigate your property, and learn the history of ownership. While I have tremendous respect for the Auburn assessment of the animal deaths on your property, I strongly suspect the contaminents were more likely from the water table, as opposed to the airborne delivery they suggest. Either would not surprise me, but the cresote deteriorants would be more easily dispursed by water flow rather than air.
The cemetary on West Youngs Ferry off Wicker Point remains as demolished as the day it occurred last Spring. One family's ancestral gravesite was completely obliterated, and I have been in contact to notify them and possibly place a new headstone, as the original one (from 1853) was shattered beyond repair. At least 2 vaults collapsed under the weight of the skidders rolling above them.
The 6th Calvary of the Confederate Army had 2 soldiers buried their. Both headstones were knocked down and broken, but may be repairable.
Again, I will post coordinates sometime soon, but I have more research to do before I am comfortable and certain in posting that information.

Notice the bulldozer at the top of the picture. What did he just finish burying?
This photo is less than a year old, and this dump is very much active today.

If you need some insight into both topics send me an email. I own an environmental consulting company and we do a lot of landfill and wood treating work.
If there is an old creosote plant that hasn't been addressed there is likely soil and groundwater contamination. Also, many of these plants also used PCP and/or CCA to treat wood, both of which can be a bigger issue that creosote.
I looked at the picture but couldn't tell if they were landfilling or just clearing land with trees that had been bulldozed in the middle. Definitely worth looking at in more detail. If it is an illegal landfill we can notify ADEM and they will inspect the site.

Here's an old dump RL used in the late 80's/ early 90's. Don't know if you knew about it or not. It's off CR-389 between 63 and the Trillium rd.

Katherine -- That's not Hancel Road. The MS map has several of the roads incorrectly identified. I'm not sure, but it's likely Coosa Co. 2 or Memory Lane.

It is off of Hwy 2, a dirt road to the right as you are heading North/East.

I have been told what all is buried there. It is almost unbelievable, but it fits in with the materails that I have been told are buried in the other dumpsites as well. VERY damaging stuff that was simply dumped and covered over. That dump was "closed " (read "covered up") over 6 years ago. The photograph is from late last summer. Notice how NOTHING has grown on it in over 5 years.
The soil is obviously not only dead, but toxic enough to prevent anything from surviving within it.
These are all mild compared to one that I have not divulged yet. Its location will surprise everyone, and its contents are nothing short of incredible.
