#1  Back in the late 60's there was a covey of quail that strolled through a "Rad-waste pit", crossing the roadway and died. They had to dig up the roadway section.

Then there are the 100's of leaks and reports of contaminated fish, snakes, gators and other wildlife that hover around the warmed discharge waters, creeks and streams and Savannah River area that the SRP run-offs flows into.
