Are there any health hazards from those waste piles? The aerial view really shows of the extent of these waste deposits and B&W works well here.

hello, well yes and no. They have been there for so long that the weather solidify them, there's no more dust flying around and some are now covered by grass. BUT the ones near a water stream can bring rain sediments into it. So the goverment is working to prevent this . If you walk on it once a while it's ok. Many kids are motocross on it, you can see the paths on one of them.

That's really such a cool looking area. I think flying over it would be safer then walking on it.
