MSMO Classic: Martha Blackwell - Toxic Dump Wars of Noxubee County
b'
Today\'s MSMO classic discusses efforts by outside business interests to turn Noxubee County into a toxic dumping ground.
In 1983, a hazardous-waste disposal company attempted to build a toxic waste dump in the town of Shuqualak in Noxubee County, Mississippi. In this episode, Martha Blackwell describes how local citizens organized to fight back and were able to have a five year moratorium placed on chemical disposal sites in Mississippi.
\\xa0In 1991, after the moratorium expired, plans were announced to construct three toxic waste facilities in Noxubee County.\\xa0 Blackwell recalls how she learned about a hazardous-waste dump to be constructed on her neighbor\\u2019s land. She details how their group fought to keep these facilities out of Noxubee county and why they felt that having three high capacity sites would lead to waste from across the country being brought to Mississippi for disposal.
In a podcast extra, Blackwell credits the Choctaw Indians with preventing the plans to construct a dump site on reservation land. Originally published on August 3, 2015.
