EPA Changes Colo. Waste Site Ruling

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@earthlink.net>]

So, > $25 Million will be spent because "But neighbors, 
environmentalists and politicians complained that the waste was 
sinking and could contaminate water supplies."  No mention of the 
amount of contamination. The EPA changed their minds after they were 
in agreement with "experts" - obviously not pro-nuclear, that this 
area was unsafe .. let's see, since 1920 due to their operations. Any 
evidence of increased cancers, illness of any type? Those facts 
aren't mentioned, or is it that there just aren't facts to support 
this move! If the EPA first decided not to do anything, ans we know 
how conservative they are - there must not have been any real 
concerns ... PERIOD!

EPA Changes Colo. Waste Site Ruling  

DENVER (AP) - Environmental Protection Agency regulators reversed 
themselves and recommended that radioactive waste be removed from a 
contaminated former chemical plant after years of complaints from 
neighbors and environmentalists.  

While the final ruling with EPA's top officials was still pending, 
critics of the Shattuck Chemical Superfund Site welcomed Monday's 
recommendation. And it still must be determined where the low-level 
waste go, and how the estimated $25 million cost would be shared.  

Mayor Wellington Webb said the decision meant a day for celebration 
for the city.
