Dredged Sediments Containing Asbestos Were Dumped on Our Park Shoreline

Asbestos contaminated sediments are dredged from the bottom of Lake Michigan near the Johns-Manville Asbestos Superfund Site in Waukegan

ComEd and the Corps of Engineers both dredged and dumped asbestos contamination on the Illinois shoreline with the state's permission!

State official's knew about the presence of asbestos in free beach sands , but allowed this illegal pollution to be dumped on public beaches to save the $500,000 per year they used to spend on clean sand to the Beach State Park shoreline.  Now this deadly microscopic asbestos has spread with lake currents to contaminate the Illinois Lake Michigan from the Illinois-Wisconsin border south to the northshore and Chicago!  Watch how the state of Illinois now acts like an illegal polluter by deceptively stating our shorelines are "safe" when no legitimate science is available to support these criminal statements.

The state of Illinois and federal agencies allow the apparent sources of this asbestos-contamination off the hook to downplay and cover-up their own involvement in this massive spread of asbestos.  Johns-Manville gets a potential $84 million fine curiously reduced down to a mere $145,000.  State and Federal environmental regulations are also not enforced at the Johns-Manville Superfund site where thousands of trillions of asbestos fibers have been released into Lake Michigan where they wash back on our beaches!  Midwest Generation (formerly Commonwealth Edison) stockpiles tons of asbestos-contaminated sand on their property that were dredged from the polluted bottom of Lake Michigan (near Johns-Manville), while State and Federal officials do nothing!  The citizens of Illinois have had enough and are now demanding answers!
