In a Columbian article (January 11, 2004, ‘Rosemere faces off with City Monday’), it says of Victor Erlich (Vancouver City Engineer), “Erlich said Rosemere’s reasoning in applying for the grant based on septic failure ‘is a mystery to us.’ We don’t find any evidence to support the claim that there are environmental health problems stemming from failing septic systems in the neighborhood.” If the City hasn’t found any problems, its because they haven’t been looking! In fact, the City has purposefully hidden lab results that clearly shows how failed septic systems have directly contaminated our water. The City just doesn’t think the contamination of our water and the horrid death of Vancouver Lake are much of a priority. The RNA has documented where our environmental health is at risk, and these facts have been backed up by laboratory results! The Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department of Health, and the State Department of Ecology all agree that the evidence of environmental contamination presented by the RNA is legitimate, and all have pledged to continue to effect a positive outcome for these serious problems. Human waste is polluting our ground and surface water, and our drinking water is at risk! Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Agency is presently reconsidering the Title 6 complaint to establish formal jurisdiction over the issues outlined, and a funding nexxus has been found upon which to base such jurisdiction for continued investigation.
