StumbleLetter: Superfund status for copper mine
Thursday, Nov. 13, 2003 | 8:58 a.m.
I'm writing this letter to push for Superfund status for the Yerington Copper Mine. The high levels of uranium being found in that area are not only a threat to the folks living nearby but a threat to the legacy of our great state.
The corporations which have benefited from all of the copper taken from that mine now need to step up to the plate and put some of that money back into cleaning up the resultant mess.
