Noon Meeting--EPA Seattle Office, Anne Dailey

The environmental cleanup under way in northern Idaho will soon expand.  EPA invites you to learn more about what needs to be done to protect human and ecological health.

The contamination of our region was decades in the making and decades ago. The cleanup here will continue for decades. Currently the EPA is considering an update to the Superfund “Record of Decision” for the upper Coeur d'Alene basin, which is intended to guide cleanup plans for the next 50 to 90 years.  (That’s right - another 50 to 90 years of cleanup in the upper basin. Meanwhile, we try to remain hopeful that the lower basin will get some attention prior to the year 2060. )  Anne Dailey, from the EPA’s office in Seattle will join us this Thursday, noon, at the Iron Horse to discuss the “ROD Amendment,” as it is called.

You have an opportunity to provide your comments on this ROD Amendment.  You can find the Proposed Plan starting July 12 at select local libraries or online at http://go.usa.gov/igD.  Mail your comments by August 25 to "Coeur d'Alene Basin Team, EPA, 1200 6th Ave., Suite 900, ECL-113, Seattle, WA 98101. Or, email your comments to cdabasin@epa.gov.
