The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is asking the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to determine just how bad
contamination is from a mill that had been using mercury to remove gold
from ore at an under-the-radar, unlicensed mill on the edge of the
southwestern Colorado town.
The EPA also will decide whether the mill should be designated for a
Superfund cleanup. The Superfund program was created in 1980 to clean up
the worst uncontrolled hazardous waste sites in the country.
