STOP 520 Bridge Demolition in Lake Washington

We citizens demand a complete halt to the 520 Bridge Demolition and testing of all road surface materials. We demand that all Demolition work be done in a contained dry dock and the rubble be placed in a sealed containment area to prevent further contamination of the environment from asbestos used in vehicles breaks and exposure from other hazardous material. It is imperative that testing, monitoring and containment be managed by agreeable organization.

Why is this important?

The Lake Washington watershed is being exposed to asbestos and other hazardous toxins. Citizens think that it is impractical to ensure that the fine breakup of materials on barges will occur with zero discharge, including fugitive dust and runoff regardless of the permit stating that there will be no discharge.
