i am looking to buy a home in henderson around seven hills or anthem and have heard about a toxic waste dump that use to be there? is this true. i have read some docs and some old threads but there was no real clear cut definite answer. and if there was is it clean now? i know the government likes to keep stuff like this hush hush and would probably endanger people before telling the truth in my opinion. thx.

Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson are all on the top 10 worst municipal water supply list. DDT was simply poured out in the Henderson desert, nobody knows exactly where.

Las Vegas has a long and inglorious history of simply dumping chemicals -- from dry cleaning fluid to rocket fuel -- on the ground.

If you ask the government, they'll tell you everything is safe. Me, I don't have an acceptable threshold for ingesting heavy metals and toxins. You can search back a few months when we were discussing this before.

Also Agent Orange [in the 7 hills area]

That's why I don't go anywhere near Lake Las Wastedump.

Yikes. This makes me totally rethink buying a home there, which I was actually in the process of putting two offers on a home in the anthem highlands and seven hills

Stauffer Chemical...Prime contracter to the Army for Agent Orange during Vietnam [allegedly dumped their leftovers in the desert behind Black Mountain]

Remember....southern nevada had a major hand in the developement of the Atomic Bomb, The Stealth Fighter, Surveillance Drones and just about EVERY non-existant project you can think of.....there is BOUND to be left overs.
