Under the deal, the companies are required to fund the #cleanup of 4 former #IndustrialSites, create a remediation fund of up to $1.2 billion & set aside a reserve of $475 million to ensure that the cleanup will be completed if any of the companies go bankrupt or default.

The agreement brings #justice to “#CorporatePolluters who, for decades, have knowingly contaminated our #land & #water with #PFAS & other dangerous #chemicals,” said #NewJersey AG Matthew J. Platkin in a statement….

Good anger therapy: Tearing on the Virginia Creeper tendrils until a whole lump comes off the shed wall and roof.

But now I gotta rip and tear the bottoms out too and then put it on the burn pile.

Not a big fan of burning stuff without at least using the energy, but no other way to kill this stuff. Unless you mulch it into tiny, tiny pieces, it grows back. For the same reason you can't throw it on the compost.

Been reclaiming some more jungle. Discovered the hazelnut bush actually has a few hazelnuts, so I tried to clear better access to it.

Found another blackcurrant, big but so infested with Virginia creeper that we'll probably have to cut it down together. It's possible to pull the creepers out of an apple tree, but the blackcurrant bush just tears out with them.

The little blackcurrant we planted did ok initially but some ants chose to build their home in its roots, so now it's sad.

The ants are crazy this year. So many heaps everywhere. Eggs under every rock. Probably not just us, I see Norfa has a sale for 1kg packs of ant powder 😕

And a little cherry tree that planted itself and is already pretty tall and bearing some cherries, yet to be sampled.

Scrap collection.

After sorting that sheetmetal, I drove around the farm and picked up some scrap metal that is definitely destined for the junkyard.

Piled it up behind the big barn for now. Should have a car trailer full soon.

Since both northern scrap dealers are being accused of cheating (not letting you see the scale when weighing in/out, wtf), I think we'll wait until the road to Vilnius is upgraded and haul it there. I hate cheaters :-P

Another full day of work complete. Gotta push hard when the weather is good, can rest on the rainy days.
