RE: Calcium Arsenate
RE: Calcium ArsenateChild are you simply deaf or ignorant? No NPL, no Superfund. A Consent Decree is not a CERCLA action. The Utah site is not a Superfund Site its a consent decree. Just as the other routines you put out, you dodge the issue, Superfund sounds better for fund raising, but these are not Superfund sites. Do you really have a blue clue what the Super Fund is?
If a company agrees to clean up a site on its own accord and enters into a consent decree with the EPA, it is not a Super Fund site. Super Fund is there if a, there is no company to clean up the site, 2, the companies involved refuse to volunteer for a clean up. Super Fund is paid for by chemical and mining companies as a tax on product sales, making it a Fund seperate from the General Fund, to clean up orphaned or abandoned sites.
If a site is Super Fund under CERCLA it is given a National Priority list number. Consent decree locations are not so designated.
Calera Mines was part of Britania Mines, as was Howe Sound. YOu obviously have incomplete records for them since they operated for a lot more years then you seem aware. You are refering to DMEA contracts that transitioned into OME contracts. I suggest you look at Atlas's operation in Moab and see what responsibilty that leaves for the government for most of the worst of Blackbirds problems. Noranda as the property owner well post Calera agreed to clean up the site volunterily.
Chris says he schooled your butt long ago on this subject, back when U of I was working on it. Take the leason and move on.
