[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3918173, member: 24583"] Mining or industry tends to take out all the good parts they want and need and discarding the parts you don't want or need and have to be disposed of somewhere. I sold equipment that pressure injected waste materials 3000 ft underground to enclosed rock formations, and equipment that detected and got 13 industries in west Tulsa dumping into the Arkansas River in the middle of the night in trouble with the EPA in the 1980's. This area could be discards from something like that of the strip mining operations in that area years ago or something else. Way back in time, most likely in the 70-80's someone made a decision to put it there. Lets take this stuff way out east of Tulsa in the middle of nowhere and bury it in the ground for it to decay back to earth where it came from. Humm, guess at that time no one knew there would be a city with residential communities built on top of it out in "the middle of nowhere." OK, back to the quote. All my life some people asked me why I enjoyed climbing the hills that could not be climbed on dirt bikes and I always stated "I want to leave the highest mark before tumbling down." I was good at that, but now I have another answer. "I was just trying to get above the radon gas level in the low areas way out east of BA." Ha Ha. Yep, like you "SlugSlinger" I rode that area of strip mines frequently back in the 1970's along with many other places, Verdigris strip mines, cut a lot of trails in at Oolagah Blue Bill, Keystone, Turkey mountain, and rode a lot in Miami at the boron mines, rode Camp Gruber enduros, and others. 72 metallic orange Yamaha 250, then a 74 250 WR Husqvarna (I still own), and then an orange 450 WR Husky Desert Racer, then a Black 460 CR Husky that I did not have enough fat forward to keep the front end down very much, even on level ground at 60MPH WOT, haha. Edit, Hell forgot John Zink Ranch trails and Hill Climb, 250 class, prob mid 70's, got a trophy around somewhere. Yep, fun days with a lot of tent camping to go along with it. Wonder what a giger counter would read off the original front tire of my 74 Husky from back in that day I still own? Prob like me, nothing more than normal, even though I have been in some "hot" areas in my life. Yes there are some situations that are bad and need addressed, but most panic is caused by over reacting to minor things. Hell, for years I wore a wrist watch with luminescent hands in HS that highly triggered a giger counter in science class and my arm has not fallen off yet. Not all radiation produces radion gas. Low levels of radiation do not reach miles and miles or even a few hundreds of feet to warp people. Radiation is used to kill germs and cancer cells. Humm To me, the biggest problem we have is lack of real information that we can trust of what is real. Constantly being lied to about what is real and what is known to be real is the scary part. I do hope the local people in that area are not long term negatively affected. [/QUOTE]
