I don’t want to be critical of fits for an article in which I agree. Will agreed with Haley’s call for Harrell’s suspension, but used the whole article to criticize her. Hypocrisy is the argument used when you agree with someone you don’t like.

I remember a teacher who whenever I had a good grade, gave me backhanded praise. I’ve been harsh on Will when I disagree, but l’m going ease up when I agree.

500+ expired permits, TB, continuing the assult on env importing out of state waste (Lee County landfill anyone???), PCB’s, trying to redirect rural water protection to city infrastructure, Pelion septage disposal site (nitrates in ground water) – wow – we have short memories……. Templeton has been a disaster for the people of South Carolina. Too bad most people have the attention span and memory of a gnat.

What about it? Do you throw away no trash? Do you never take a dump? (Yep, that’s where it actually goes.)

Hearing these many complaints in the years before Templeton would have been very useful. Where were they then? The few I remember would trigger the appearance of about three posters (mainly on The State) who would protest that DHEC then was near perfect–beloved of God–and could do no wrong. Where are they now I wonder? Probably no longer working at DHEC.

Ah, the uninformed – i love people like you.

“Do you never take a dump? (Yep, that’s where it actually goes.)”

Nope. Not even close.

When you take, as you so colorfully quipped, “a dump” it may go to a landfill, but more likely, it goes to a farm field where your food is grown.

All under the disguise as “recycling”.

Problem is, sometimes, u’re “dump” is co-mingled with things such as industrial waste. In the case of SC, it was co-mingled with PCB’s. (google and look up what PCB’s do to humans and the natural environment).

Your “dump” becomes sludge, which the waste industry has also “disguised” and rebranded it “biosolids”.

It took SCDHEC 3 months to issue fish advisories after the suspected release of PCB’s into the environment. Hows that for “promoting human health”….the only thing DHEC seems to promote is their paycheck and the waste industry “buddies”.

Here’s some light reading material:

http://www.thestate.com/welcome_page/?shf=/2014/03/13/3325073_pcbs-in-sludge-draw-scrutiny-by.html

And here’s DHEC’s page promoting the practice:

http://www.scdhec.gov/Environment/WaterQuality/SanitarySewers/SludgeProgram/

Google is your friend. Use it. Become an informed citizen.

Oh, and bon-appetit.

Ahh, the uninformed.
That landfill (or at least a landfill) is where Columbia’s sludge and a lot of other cities’ sludge has been going. Or so I’m told by those better informed than you. (Perhaps a low bar to clear.)
True, I did make the unfounded assumption that he lived in Columbia or such a city.
Your well-based objections to sludge use might carry more weight if you didn’t mix them into a fanciful universal evil. Lots of sludge goes relatively harmlessly to places besides the fields near your house.

I, for one, am surprised that she does not take more public credit for having backbone in several important situations where the previous regime–and her own present middle management–would have sunk to flaccid puddles in the face of political or economic power, as was their wont for long before.

But how do you fight abject ignorance in the howling critical public? It was she who stopped the humanure heap posed as a farm in Pelion, not allowed it. She inherited it, she listened to scientific frontline staff as opposed to the mediocre middle managers, and she stopped it.
And speaking of sludge piles. If you had the slightest idea of what a dysfunctional agency she inherited in major areas (500+ expired permits with many sites failing and contaminated but still operating) you would see that it will take time or a miracle or a special-ops team to drive some professionalism into all the dank corners of that bureaucratic rabbit warren. Why was no one doing it before?
Fault her if you wish and will, but at least have the honesty to target what she has in fact done or not done, and put it in some context of what enormity needed and needs attention.

A figment of Haley’s imagination, this person is a cruel, thoughtless individual whose whole purpose has been to manufacture the false image you repeat in this post. It is readily apparent, and provable, that current agency heads are charged by the governor to manipulate information creating positive spin. In short, they lie for political reasons, and Templeton is the worst.

Again FITS and its respondents here have taken to the war path against an over-reaching g’ment bureaucracy and the horses they ride on.

Please keep up this good work and never give up, never, never, ever.

BTW: When the facts in evidence are clear, “malicious intent” is always grounds for dismissal of an errant government employee (whether it be for personal self-enriching or advancing cronies or destruction of taxed private property and can be decided by a judge and jury or by the blogging mob) … and the restitution to and for the public at large can be sought in the South Carolina statehouse(s) or by Grand Jury … and could lead to tax refunds and tax cuts as well as defunding of bloated high offices and recovery of pensions spent … from a willing statehouse candidate (!!) … jus’ sayin’.

(I am not a resident of South Carolina, yet, but so far FITS is encouraging me to come on over …)

Templeton and the Fab 5, the name the staff gave her circle of leadership scum, have hid money and manipulated the books. Templeton and the Fab 5 have directed all sorts of expenses to be hid from the legislature. Especially those related to the so called consolidation. She doubled and tripled salaries of the Fab 5 and a few other unqualified idiots. The legislature would have to hire a Wall Street accounting firm to unravel the mess. Templeton will be long gone and into the next rung of her ladder climbing before or I’d it is ever discovered.
