USFK presents environmental cleanup plan to South Korea

I don't want to hear any more complaining from Korean environmentalists after this. Full story here.

Quote:
U.S. Forces Korea has presented an environmental cleanup plan to South Korea that the Americans say goes “above and beyond” previous agreements about the almost 60 bases going from U.S. to South Korean control, a USFK spokesman said.

South Korean officials still must accept the plan, USFK spokesman David Oten said Friday. USFK declined to release any estimate of the cost, which the United States will pay, before a joint U.S.-South Korean public statement was prepared.

“The government has been authorized to spend what is needed” to follow the U.S.-written plan, Oten said.
Of course there will be complainers:

Quote:
Go Ji-sun, a spokeswoman for the environmental group Green Korea, said Friday she had heard of the plan but had not seen any details. She said she was worried USFK would not clean up “every single contamination” made.

It is USFK that has “messed up” the land, she said. “It is their responsibility to clean it up.”
I have a feeling that she means every leave cleaned up and the U.S. will not satisfy this lady.

blackbird is an unknown quantity at this point
The U.S. bases are the cleanest places in Korea that I have ever seen. I wonder how many of the Koreans that are complaining so much have ever been on a U.S. Military base. Where do they get this stuff from? It there some big toxic waste dump hidden on the Osan Air Base that I should be worried about?
