What does EPA and the expansion of the Superfund site do for economic development?
Those that are in favor of it say, well, if it’s cleaned up, it makes it better and so on and so forth. But my own personal feelings are all of these mountains that surround us right now are full of lead and zinc and silver, but primarily lead and zinc. And as it flows off of those mountains, it comes into one place. It comes into the stream down here. So over the years, as it oxidizes and so on, it comes into there. The background of this river, in their infinite wisdom, the EPA and the DEQ gave it a background count of lead and zinc and so on. But they don’t really know what that count is. And so they went up to the top of the mountain somewhere and said, “let’s take a stream up here, and that’s probably the background count.” Does that make sense if you go up to the top of the mountain when everything is coming down here, that that is the count? That’s not right. And when you look at the valley now, our blood levels here are certainly no different than they are anywhere else in the
