[GreenYes] Re: unbelievable... a Monday morning zinger

["Mark J. McConnell" <mark@no.address>]

Hi tree huggers,
Three things. 1 Who let them build on a landfill duh! You know it's going to sink. 2 Methane is odorless so the smell is something else. 3 Does anyone know the law about dumping green waste, leaf and limb in landfills and could you send me a link. Thanks

Peace, Love and Compost,
Mark

  Sure seems like someone has the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in their hip pocket!  How could anyone, especially the EPA, NOT suspect the landfill might be producing methane?!

  This could be a headline out of the Onion.

  CLEVELAND-AREA WAL-MART SHUTTERED ON LANDFILL GAS
  A Wal-Mart store built atop a landfill in Garfield Heights, Ohio has shut down because of a methane gas leak. Employees at the store had reported a bad smell and evacuated customers on Tuesday, Dec. 5. Wal-Mart officials are not certain when the store will reopen, although fire officials say the methane fumes are not concentrated enough to be dangerous. Wal-Mart and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency have said the source of the methane has not yet been identified.
