The problem is that all the learning already took place a very long time ago, it's called acid-base accounting, very common in mining when dealing with tailings. To indiscriminately dump rock in a stream (build culverts) with out knowing what your doing isn't 'freak' it's ignorant.
You'd think the feds would know better. I only assume that since they sure seem to enjoy beating the heck out of miners over the very same issue.
It's just a guess, but the 'naturally contaminted shale' is probably more sulfide than shale, like 30 to 50%. It'll take an extremely long time before all that turns to acid. Best to dig it up and put it back. Will it be expensive? Yes it will.

How about we duct tape the thugs to the street lights and make them hold candles instead?

Yup, I've seen them. I've seen them starting from somewhere near the middle of town to down the Richardson Highway to at least the Chena Flood Control Project, then out the Steese to way past the Pedro Monument, all along the Elliot to Olnes, and the Parks to way beyond Ester. They're are apparently so many that they've blended together into one giant heap of trash.
Perhaps the 'homeless' are, in an attempt to be 'normal', just chucking their trash around because that's what they see everyone else doing?

I am happy, thank you very much.
I guess my point is that these places being 'occupied' by 'homeless' are, in my opinion, only slightly more messy than apparently everywhere else.
The sinking ship analogy is appropriate here. To point at the 'homeless' and exclaim, 'Hah, their end of the garbage scow is going down while our end is steadily rising into the sky' is to say the least, fundamentally flawed. We're all drowning in a stew a trash and perhaps scape-goating the 'homeless' is not the solution. Getting out there and pick-up your own filth would be a better start. You know, 'Those who live in glass houses'?

A good friend of mine once said, 'When you point your finger at someone you really just point three right back at yourself'.
Take a good, long, hard, look around here folks. The 'Homeless' are not the only ones spewing garbage everywhere. This town is absolutely crammed packed full to the brim of brain dead, responsibility dodging, immature, no-good, low-down, scum sucking, garbage tossing, pick-up driving, fast-food buying, diaper tossing, cig-sucking, beer chugging, PIGS.

If they're doing it for charity, then more power to them. Go Zombies!

They're just small minds leaving their small mark on the world, sort of like dogs who pee all over the tires.

Parents, get off your butts and get on your bikes and teach your kids how to ride. Duh!

Never have I seen how these estimates are derived. What are they based on?

And not a single park?
You know, there's a reason why kids have nothing to do but play video games. It's because they have nowhere, in walking distance, to go!
Our Borough seems to be concerned with nothing more than collecting as much property taxes as possible and to heck with quality of life.
And, before anyone jumps my case, consider this, my favorite park is becoming so used it's getting difficult to find a time when nobody is there so the grass can be mowed with out first chasing all the toddlers away.
Wouldn't it be nice if the 'planners' at the borough were required to add a park to every neighborhood they invisioned? That would be the kind of community people would be truly attracted to.
