Re: [UC] New chemical burns visible
Tony, When did any said characteristics of the listserve become any kind of a criterion for granting of standing to a request made by a Clark Park neighbor and a potential member / contributor of the Clark Park Partnership. Seems to me you just chose that (unmoderated private listserve, which is owned by Villanova University) parlance as an inconvenient excuse for ignoring every one of Glenn's (all be they rather ambitious) requests; tell the truth, Tony. Also seems very disingenuous of you, to say the least. - Rick Conrad On Jun 21, 2011, at 10:56 PM, Anthony West wrote: Glenn, Nothing you post on this unmoderated private listserve, which is owned by Villanova University, has any standing as a formal inquiry to any agency of the City of Philadelphia or any of its Clark Park partners.

[UC] New chemical burns visible
There are several new and bizarre yellow chemical areas which have become visible in Clark Park A. As the burned area previously reported is filling in, new areas look like the lines and crop circles made by space aliens. One is only two feet wide and runs for a dozen or more meters. Another is a perfect circle. It's a total withering and yellowing immediately adjacent to thick Frankenstein grass. Look around the area of the former volleyball court loved by people from around the world (1983-2010, RIP). Considering the amount of time since the herbicide was last applied and today, I think we are seeing the evidence of the long period of killing potential! ( I doubt that anyone ever believed the Tony West/landscape architect explanation about dry soil causing these bizarre burns. Dry soil-haha.) I did most of my research on RoundUp two years ago, but I recall reports of finding intact chemical long after the initial application, if the right conditions bury the chemical as we've had in Clark Park recently. (The yellowing is also visible just outside of the mulch circles around trees which had their roots soaked.) Also: Here is an important article about ocean death studies. You may have seen the earlier report about the death in the Gulf of Mexico largely caused by these organic nitrogen fertilizers. It's tragically hilarious that UCD/FOCP thinks it can hose us with claims about organic fertilizer now that its herbicide got a bad reputation among upscale consumers. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/20/ipso-2011-ocean-report-mass-extinction_n_880656.html Pray for the children, Glenn PS: Sam and I are heading back to Boston.

Re: [UC] New chemical burns visible
You're right about both of these areas. FoCP has reported them to the engineers who did the work. As it happens, neither your initial explanation nor their initial explanation was totally satisfying. We especially note that straight trench shape. Doesn't look much like EITHER a sunbeam OR a herbicide administration, does it? So you're both wrong, at least in part. Typically, in the aftermath of a big construction project, there are localized problems. That's one of the things we're working on these days. -- Tony West On 6/21/2011 9:25 PM, Glenn wrote: There are several new and bizarre yellow chemical areas which have become visible in Clark Park A.
