Disclaimer - Many "experts and consultants" provide much less information than is presented here, and charge for the material, sometimes causing more damage than initial conditions because they did not consider all contributing factors. These documents are not the "holy grail" of environmental perspectives, yet they address many details that can be harmful to life. Appropriately dealing with the problems presented will provide healing, and possibly immediate and dramatic relief; but, dealing with the problems inappropriately can make the situation worse. These documents, however incomplete (and purposely so), are sufficiently detailed to provide remedy for those who have access to moderate technical expertise. Nonetheless, the author cannot be held liable for mishaps due to attempts to meddle with technical systems without proper knowledge and skill.
