“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Piles of trash stacked up at a popular North Texas taco shop have some neighboring businesses claiming the trash is just the start of the problems.Pictures surfaced this week of bags of trash sitting stacked up at the outside patio at Fuzzy’s Taco Shop in Deep Ellum. The trash had sat there for days in the rain.“It’s terrible. It’s not something that we’re proud of,” said Aly Bhagat, one of the owner of the Fuzzy’s Taco Shop in Deep Ellum. “When I saw those pictures, I didn’t know what to think myself.”The situation got so bad, the city paid the restaurant a visit on Thursday.“Any time the fire marshal comes, you’re kind of freaking out,” said Bhagat.He said with limited space in Deep Ellum, his restaurant often partners with nearby businesses to use the dumpsters they own.“But that got shut down a couple weeks ago because it was being overused by a lot of restaurants,” said Bhagat.So Fuzzy’s dumped the trash on the back patio until they could figure out a solution.“This isn’t on our employees. I take full blame for this,” said Bhagat.Fuzzy’s insists thei... (CBS DFW)
Samantha Morrell dealt with a tearful 8-year-old daughter after Halloween events were canceled in Harpswell and Topsham, where she has family. Neighboring Brunswick also was discouraging trick-or-treating.“She was hysterical,” Morrell said of her young zombie cheerleader. “She said, ‘They can’t cancel Halloween!’”In Bedford, New Hampshire, 11-year-old Maddie LaCroix and her girlfriends were dressing up as Patriots football players while the boys were dressing as cheerleaders. They were disappointed to have to wait until Sunday.In Rhode Island, Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo came up with a solution. She bought hundreds of pieces of candy and said that her home has power, so trick-or-treating kids can “come to the governor’s street.”The storm caused problems across all of New England: A house was swept away by raging waters in New Hampshire, sailboats crashed onto a beach in Massachusetts and an empty construction truck was blown off a bridge.From Maine to Rhode Island, Coast Guard officials were assessing damage. Crews identified more than 50 vessels torn from their moorings. Many of the vessels were unmanned and adrift while others were washed up on shore.In Massachusetts, a sewage treatment plant in North Andover lost power during the storm and spilled 8 million gallons of untreated waste into the Merrimack River, North Andover Town Manager Andrew Maylor said.Because of the power outage, a pump failed to move waste into the treatment plant, allowing the waste to back up and flow in the river, he said.There was no immediate threat to residents, and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection was looking into the matter, he said.In Maine, U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a Republican, called for an investigation after the state’s only Veterans Administration hospital outside Augusta asked for emergency power during the storm.The Maine Emergency Management Agency had National Guard soldiers deliver a large backup generator on Monday.The director of the Togus VA said the facility never lost backup power and that the request for help was made as a precaution.In Vermont, dairy farmers who lost electricity in a wind storm that caused widespread outages across New England were relying on generators to power milking equipment to milk cows and to keep the milk cool. Vermont is the largest dairy producing state in New England, with about 800 dairy farms.The scope of the damage in Maine made comparisons to the ice storm inevitable. That storm wrecked the power delivery system in eastern Canada and New England, causing tens of millions of dollars in damage.Roger Pomerleau remembers the 1998 storm well. He said the cold temperatures made that storm harder on a lot of people, but this... (Greensburg Daily News)
Over time, the neighborhood has assumed a medical campus and residential identity, but neighboring land just inside unincorporated Douglas County has been zoned as commercial and industrial since 1998 -- long before homes were built in the area.Resident concerns include noise, traffic, air pollution and plummeting home values. University leaders worry the facility will hamper their efforts of attracting high-caliber students."We understand the necessity, but we think that there's probably [another] area in unincorporated Douglas County that could handle this," said Rock Vista University president Clinton Adams.Douglas County officials said the facility is still under consideration. If approved, residents can appeal to elected county commissioners.The start of an appeal process is still months down the road, according to those close to the effort.Mountain Waste and Recycling is the company seeking approval from the county.Company president Scott Eden said it's challenging to find the perfect location for this type of facility. He warns if the trash and recycling transfer facility is forced into a rural area, waste pickup would become less efficient.Eden also said there shouldn't be noise and pollution concerns because the proposed site would be a closed-off covered facility.

Texas or neighboring states.So far they have gutted 34 homes, mostly in underprivileged neighborhoods, Allison said."I intend to keep this going 24/7 for 365 days," he said. "We will do mop-ups, put up Sheetrock, whatever, until the last doorknob is up."___Associated Press writers Michael Graczyk, Jay Reeves, Paul Wiseman and Robin McDowell in Houston, and Adam Kealoha Causey in Dallas contributed to this report.___Follow Tamara Lush on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tamaralush .___Sign up for AP's newsletter showcasing our best all-formats reporting on Harvey and its aftermath: http://apne.ws/ahYQGtb .

Casas, 32. "It filters into the water system."The water had receded by Saturday at Brio Refining Inc. and Dixie Oil Processors, a pair of neighboring Superfund sites about 20 miles southeast of downtown Houston in Friendswood. The road was coated in a layer of silt. Mud Gully Stream, which bisects the two sites, was full and flowing with muddy water.Both sites were capped with a liner and soil as part of EPA-supervised cleanup efforts aimed at preventing the contamination from spreading off the low-lying sites during floods. Parts of the Brio site were elevated by 8 feet.John Danna, the manager hired by the companies to oversee the sites, said in a phone interview that he went there after the storm and saw no signs of erosion. He said he didn't know how high the flooding got in Harvey's wake and that no testing of the water still draining from the area had been conducted. EPA staff are expected to visit in the next week, he said.A security guard at the Patrick Bayou Superfund site, just off the Houston Ship Channel in Deer Park, said Saturday that flooding came hundreds of feet inland during the storm. The water has since receded back into the bayou, where past testing has shown the sediments contain pesticides, toxic heavy metals and PCBs. The site, surrounded by active petrochemical facilities, is still awaiting a final plan for cleanup.The San Jacinto River Waste Pits Superfund site was completely covered with floodwaters when an AP reporter saw it Thursday. According to its website, the EPA was set to make a final decision this year about a proposed $97 million cleanup effort to remove toxic waste from a paper mill that operated there in the 1960s.The flow from the raging river washing ove...
