Freedom call to DEP: “Dike is containing the material”

Posted on by

When a Freedom Industries employee called the state Department of Environmental Protection to report the chemical leak that would contaminate the region's drinking water, he said that the leaky tank's containment dike was working and he did not think any chemical would enter the river.

When a Freedom Industries employee called the state Department of Environmental Protection to report the chemical leak that would contaminate the region's drinking water, he said that the leaky tank's containment dike was working and he did not think any chemical would enter the river.

Bob Reynolds, the Freedom employee who called the DEP at 12:05 p.m. on Jan. 9, did not even mention the river until about five minutes into the six-and-a-half minute call, and then only when he was directly asked about it.

When Reynolds was asked by the DEP operator whether the chemical was going into a creek or stream, he said, "Ah, don't know at this time. It's located right on the Elk River and right now the dike is containing the material, so we don't anticipate it going into the river."

The state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management posted a recording of the call on its website on Friday afternoon.

When the call was made, DEP inspectors were already on the site. They had arrived at the scene after local residents had complained of a strong licorice odor, now known to be caused by the leaked chemical, "Crude MCHM."

The DEP inspectors and other emergency officials arrived at Freedom at about 11 a.m., about an hour before the company officially reported the leak. The DEP had been getting complaints about the odor as early as 8:15 a.m. Freedom's storm water permit required the company to immediately report any spills. DEP officials have said that Freedom only called the spill line after they were told to by inspectors on the site.

The first DEP inspectors on the scene described seeing a 4-foot wide stream of chemical flowing across the bottom of the containment dike and disappearing at the joint where the dike's wall met the floor.

The inspectors also initially did not realize the chemical was entering the river.

When Reynolds was asked by the DEP operator what time the leak occurred he said, "I heard it about 15 minutes ago, so it was shortly before that."

Sensenbrenner: ‘Freedom Act ends bulk data collection’

Posted on by

DW: You've been critical of what the NSA has been doing and have authored the Freedom Act. But the Freedom Act also doesn't include rights for European citizens or other foreign nationals. Do you think that foreign nationals also deserve a right not to be monitored indiscriminately?

Frank James Sensenbrenner: Yes, unless they are involved in some type of terrorist activity. The issue with the Freedom Act, however, is that constitutionally the United States Congress cannot legislate in this area, because it is a presidential prerogative under our constitution to deal with foreign relations. How that is handled will have to be done by President Obama in the executive branch.

However, what I can say is that the Freedom Act ends bulk collection for everybody - Americans and foreigners. Bulk collection was never intended to be the case in the Patriot Act, which I authored. We are going to get back to where we started from right after September 11 in targeting the collection only to people who are foreigners who are part of a designated terrorist organization. And we ought to be watching what those people are doing.

How optimistic are you that the Freedom Act will actually become law?

I think we have a better than 50:50 chance. I think there are definitely the votes in the House [of Representatives] to pass the Freedom Act, and unless the Freedom Act is passed, the intelligence reauthorization bill will not be passed. This is a kind of under the Capitol dome thing in terms of how it is lined up in terms of procedure and how we get votes. My main job now is to get a vote on the Freedom Act, because if I do get a vote, I am certain that an overwhelming majority of both Democrats and Republicans in the House will vote for it.

Can Europeans do anything to help push that matter?

I think the message that Europeans can do to help is the point how much the NSA scandal has hurt transatlantic relations and has broken trust. It has cost American companies a lot of business in Europe. There are also some unfortunate things that have happened such as taking away the internationalization of the Internet, which would be a bad idea, and stopping the negotiations on the transatlantic trade agreement, which would also be a bad idea.

People all over the world were outraged when the news of NSA spying activities broke

I would hope that there would not be any punitive reactions on the part of either the European Commission or on the part of national governments of member states of the EU while we in America are trying to figure out what to do with the NSA to bring it back to where it ought to be: that is, an organization that is designed to root out domestic and international terrorism.

Germany has played a pretty important role in this international debate on the NSA revelations and has reiterated just recently that it is so far not contend with the message that it received from Washington on the NSA revelations, but specifically also of the targeting of Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone. Do you think that it is realistic, that the Obama administration should send a further message or signal to Berlin?

Pallam Raju calls for building world-class education eco-system

Posted on by

Hyderabad, Feb 1 (IANS): Union Human Resource Development Minister Pallam Raju Saturday called for a national effort to build world-class education eco-system that fosters leadership

Addressing the annual leadership symposium organised by the Indus International School here, he said schools at all levels must enlighten the students of the challenges ahead. He also stressed the need for a good value system.

Raju called for special efforts to develop, among students, skills required for the industry.

He said National Skill Development Corporation would make efforts to create a workforce empowered with upgraded skills, knowledge and internationally recognized qualifications.

The minister said the government would continue to encourage schools and other institutions to collaborate with each other to realize national education vision.

The speakers at the symposium voiced concern that in the private sector, only about 25 percent technical and management graduates are employable by MNCs and premier corporations.

Lt.Gen. (retd.) Arjun Ray, CEO of Indus Trust said a failed school education policy over decades was primarily responsible for retarding India's development and modernization.

He said future competition would be between competing education systems. "In this fierce struggle, schools are the battlegrounds where we have been failing systematically," he said.

Lt. Gen. Ray also announced a cash award for the most innovative 'Citizen Idea' award to redress leadership crisis for schools.

Justice B Subhashan Reddy, the state Lokayukta, V. Raghunathan, CEO, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation, Kiran Mirchandani, professor, Adult Education and Community Development Program, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, and Jayaprakash Narayan participated in the panel discussion.
