If you are following my work here as J. R. Scalf, you might already be familiar with my other publication, J. R. Scalf Diffuses Chemical Confetti. While that space explores environmental narratives and observations, this new publication has a distinct, singular purpose: to serve as a direct mirror and accessible archive for the Pine River Community Action Group (CAG).

With full approval from the Task Force, this Substack will cross-post, archive, and share the critical information found on the official CAG website (www.pinerivercag.org).

Why a Substack?

The Pine River Superfund Citizens Task Force has spent decades advocating for public health, environmental remediation, and accountability regarding the Superfund sites affecting our watershed and community.

The official website remains the primary online source for the organization; this Substack aims to bring that vital information directly to a wider audience. We want to make sure that meeting minutes, historical context, scientific updates, and community action alerts are easily accessible to everyone.

What You Can Expect Here

This publication will always be 100% free. By subscribing, you will receive:

• Community Updates: The latest news regarding the ongoing cleanup and remediation efforts.

• Meeting Notes & Reports: Summaries and official documentation from CAG meetings so you can stay informed on civic actions.

• Historical Archives: Deep dives into the history of the Pine River contamination and the decades-long fight for environmental justice.

• Resources: Direct links to EPA documents, health studies, and community resources.

How You Can Help

Environmental advocacy relies entirely on an informed and engaged community. You can support this mission in three easy ways:

1. Subscribe: Ensure you never miss an update by getting these posts delivered straight to your email.

2. Share: Forward these posts to neighbors, friends, and family members who live in the watershed or care about environmental health.

3. Visit the Source: Bookmark and visit the official website at www.pinerivercag.org to explore their full depth of resources.

Thank you for joining us in keeping the history alive and the future transparent. Stay tuned for our first informational deep dives.

Onward!
