The Sun Herald | 04/13/2006 | Katrina moved dioxin-tainted soil near base: "GULFPORT - Hurricane Katrina pushed a small amount of dioxin-contaminated soil into areas around Gulfport's Seabee base, a company representative monitoring the site said at a base advisory board meeting this week.
'We will work to move the sediment back to a containment area,' said Bob Fisher, a hydrologist with Tetra Tech, the company contracted by the U.S. Navy to analyze environmental contamination of the cancer-causing chemical. 'We have already taken action on the base and we are getting ready to do it off-base. The good news is that while it did move in some locations, it did not move more than 100 feet.'"
UPDATE!!!
I didn't expect this when I read the local news tonight as I had just posted an archived WLOX news article commenting on the meeting they had on 8-24-05 discussing the remaining clean up of Dioxin contamination at the Gulfport SeeBee Base and surrounding neighborhoods.
