In The Musk
The plan was supposed to breath new life into Lake Okeechobee. Instead it revealed new pollution. That's what the thousands of truck loads of muck recently scraped from the bottom of the lake revealed when scientists analyzed them. Some of the muck contains high levels of arsenic and is too toxic to be used on agricultural or commercial land, let alone one's residence.
Should we be worried about this find? You bet! Consider what else may be lurking above, below, or in the water you are going to eventually drink.

Thanks for posting this- I live in St Lucie County and we are all amazed at how low the lake level has become. I think this latest story on the arsenic is a sign that Mother Nature is trying to tell us something! Its a shame that so much has to be done to try to fix the deliberate actions (now, "mistakes") of the past.
