We had a heavy snow, then black gunk ozzing up thru our cracked driveways January 11, 2018! I’ve never seen anything like this before! It doesn’t seem good that our driveways are cracking after only 12 years in a housing development that is 12-13 years old! Granted it is a Planned Unit Development, built in the tidal basin in Savannah Georgia on land fill. Land fill can be garbage & it can be dug from a pit, which in turn becomes a lagoon for the water to drain away from the houses. I have seen strange things happening here, which have led me to believe there might be some activism taking place, because the development is built in the swamp! I know I didn’t know when we moved here the history of the land. The sales agent said the land used to be a tree farm, which is probably what they tell everyone! However they are not telling the full truth, that the trees are in the tidal basin, in a lake! My observations are when they raise the land, which is dumping high piles of dirt, they drive over it for a long time to pack it down. Our houses are on a cement slab, hopefully they have not broken like the driveway has broken. It is legal for developers to mix coal ash in cement and wall board. They call it fly ash, maybe to make it sound less harmful?

My husband retired from the wall board industry & he said they used a mix of ash all the time as a way of recycling the ash. It’s also legal to mix coal ash and other junk in concrete in many states! How many people consider the environmental secondary effects, when that broken up road bed is dumped in the ocean along the shore of the ocean! Remember, that broken up road bed had truck tires running over it, oil spilling over it, gasoline & who knows what else! Then it gets dumped in the ocean.
So living in the tidal basin, how far below sea level are we in Savannah? No one can or will answer that question! We are just told Savannah is below sea level!
So is the sludge in these images being raised by the tidal waters from below? Is this mold? Is this coal ash? Is this carbon pollution that fell out of the sky with the snow? Is this leaky pipes, or sludge coming up from below the house with ground water? It doesn’t look very environmental friendly.
