Lori on Toxic Waste in The Pacific Ocean

It happens to be off the Californian coast this time, and it's toxic sludge dumped by a corporation that used to make a lot of money from selling DDT, ... Used, for example, to de-louse soldiers in Vietnam , ... See Fukushima Radioactive Water To Be Released Into The Sea:

CBS report:

There is some sort of environmental damage scam going on the US. See the Wikipedia entry for Montrose Chemical:

In October 1989, the former Montrose Chemical site was added to the Superfund National Priorities List. In 1990, the United States and California filed lawsuits against Montrose Chemical and nine other facilities near the Palos Verdes peninsula, citing damages to the nearby marine environment.

In December 2000, the Montrose Chemical Corporation of California and three other corporations settled their lawsuits for a collective $73 million. When combined with prior lawsuits, this brought the total up to $140 million to fund the restoration of the Palos Verdes Shelf marine environment.

Thing is the EPA "Superfund" record doesn't acknowledge this source at all. It mentions only sediments polluted by discharge through LA County manged Joint Water Pollution Control Plant. See Superfund Site: Contact Us MONTROSE CHEMICAL CORP. TORRANCE, CA:

It is estimated that over 1,700 tons of DDT were discharged by the JWPCP from the late 1950s to the early 1970s.

See this DoJ page: Pesticide DDT in Southern California 

1990, the Environmental Enforcement Section (EES) filed a lawsuit under the federal Superfund law; the last of the claims were settled in 2001. A total of over $140 million was paid by the various defendants into interest-bearing escrow accounts, for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by the Montrose Settlements Restoration Program (MSRP).

EPA is using its share of the funds to address the footprint of contaminated sediments on the Palos Verdes shelf. In June 2009, EPA announced that it intends to implement a capping project, in which it will place clean sediment over the contaminated ocean floor, to isolate it from bio-availability. EPA is also implementing institutional controls to prevent consumption of contaminated fish. Learn more about marine contamination at EPA’s site. 

Maybe I've misunderstood something here, but this sounds to me like a scam to make money for "Environmental Lawyers" like Jennifer Hall Thornton.
