Texas County is taking steps to announce an emergency situation and get the federal assistance from the farming area contaminated for the safety of pollutants.
Johnson County, district investigators in the southern balance, in 2023, in the two cattle ranches in the district, pfas or polyphorocyl substances were highly at a high level of chemicals.
The county came from the pfa, known as deceptive chemicals, known as chemicals, as they were not broken in the environment, came from a polluted fertilizer used in a neighboring farm. This fertilizer, Fort Worth wastewater treatment sewage was removed from the cleansing device. In connection with the use of the New York Times, contaminated sewer sludge Ranchers experience In Johnson County.
PFA used in daily items such as non-stout containers and stain-resistant carpets can increase the risk of certain types of cancer and cause developmental delays and other health losses in children.
County commissioners Texas Governor Greg Abbott made a decision to join the statement and called for a federal disaster support.
“It's an unchanged area.” Larry Woolley is in an interview with four commissarians in the district. The funds, it, he said that drinking water, cleanliness, as well as the land, plants and water-contaminated livestock existence and monitoring.
Johnson County also presses the state of Texas to block the use of sewerage in sewerage to fertilize local agriculture. “As a result, our goal is to stop the flow of pollutants,” said a county dominant Christopher Boyeoker.
There have been nationwide farmers for decades Recommended by the Federal Government The cleansed sewer reduces the amount of chamor to use as a fertilizer for rich nutrients of the sludge and be buried or burned in landfills. Sewer spread in Farmland is also reduced to the use of fertilizers made of fuel fuels.
However, the growing research body can contain a heavy concentration of black sludge from the sewer flowing from houses and factories, and other harmful pollutants.
Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration The first time warned Pfas-cursed sewer tag used as fertilizer, violating human health risks, can pollute land, groundwater, plants and livestock.
The Biden administration also appoints drinking water standards for certain types of PFA, and two of the chemicals should be cleaned under the Superfund law of the nation. The future of these measures is uncertain under the guidance of Trump. EPA says he is not a safe level of impact on two pfases.
Had little trial in farms. Maine is the only country that has begun to test the planting area for PFAS and closed dozens of dairy farms found with pollution.
Johnson County is the first looking for direct federal assistance. At the same time, the federal funds could hit the federal funds of the district, especially federal foreign affairs in the federal spending, he said.
President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Had provided $ 2 billion During financing to apply to pfas and other pollutants in drinking water. The future of such funds should be required indefinitely in the state level in new management.
The federal ambulance agency should also be required by the state, although the money should usually be distributed after natural disasters. President Trump also targeted FEMA financing, saying that they want the wishes of disasters without the help of the federal agency. The agricultural department also offers aid to farmers affected by PFAS pollution, but this program is currently limited to milk farmers.
Johnson leaves County in a garden.
Although President Trump has enmized the rules, he also spoke at the campaign “Purchase of dangerous chemicals from our environment”. Concerns related to pollution of pollution, like Johnson County, like Johnson County, who gave a lot to Mr. Trump, reached some deep red states and countries like Johnson County.
EPA and Femas did not comment.
Texas Prosecutor General Ken Paxton in December He sued the largest pps The producers said they knew about the dangers of these chemicals, but continued to use the use of them. The GOP-run Texas State legislature is considering the documents that restrict PFAs, which are a robust fertilizer, and the manufacturers require a test for chemicals.
The Texas province did not express Johnson County's return and support the desire to support the Federal Assistance. The governor's statement did not meet the desires.
Texas environmental quality, a representative of the Texas environmental regulator Ricky Richter, said that the PFAS levels discovered by the agency's Johnson County researchers did not cause any damage to human health or the environment.
The agency did not provide the details of the analysis immediately.
Johnson County officials said they stand behind their findings. Ranchers sue the fertilizer provider, claiming that pollution is slowly ill and the livestock is sick. They still care for the surviving cattle, but they no longer send them to the market.
