[Event post at LetsBanFracking.org] (http://www.letsbanfracking.org/index.php/events/event/1099-belleville-van-buren-township-hall-township-meeting-regarding-radioactive-waste)
From the [Detroit Free Press Aug 25th article] (http://www.freep.com/article/20140825/NEWS06/308250180/Michigan-radioactive-waste-fracking)
A Van Buren Township hazardous-waste landfill operator, slated to receive up to 36 tons of low-level radioactive waste from a Pennsylvania fracking company, announced Monday that it will suspend receipt of such materials from all oil and gas operations pending a review by the state.
EQ, a USEcology company, made its determination as Gov. Rick Snyder announced plans to form a panel of experts to look at Michigan’s standards for disposing of low-level radioactive waste. EQ has accepted the waste — known as technologically enhanced, naturally occurring radioactive materials, or TENORM — from Michigan and other states at its Wayne Disposal landfill, located between Willow Run Airport and I-94 near Belleville.
“We look forward to supporting this important review,” Simon Bell, EQ executive vice president of operations, said in a statement. “We take pride in our proven ability as one of the few companies with the expertise to safely manage this material.”

This event is open to the public.

Capacity: 135 people (so please get there early! Its first-come first-serve!)
Gregory A. Fournier was born in Detroit on October 31st, 1948 and worked at Zug Island in the 1960's. Greg attended Allen Park High School and received his B.S. and M.A. at Eastern Michigan University. Greg now lives in San Diego, California.
Greg is almost finished with another book that he has been researching for a few years, the chilling never-before-told true crime tale of alleged Michigan serial killer JOHN NORMAN COLLINS.
Collins is doing life in Marquette Prison without the possibility of parole and is thought to have been involved in the sex slayings of seven young women from 1967-1969 in Washtenaw County, Michigan and California.
