EPA friend or foe?

In response to the article in yesterdays Montana Standard "Where to from here?"

What kind of Nonsense are you speaking Charlie Coleman? How much did you get paid to say these things? Of course there is going to be lots of wildlife in the ARCo pond area. The whole area is closed off to the public and there is grass growing there. This isn't rocket science. It has always been a place for wildlife. It is attracted to them because of the feed and privacy. The Berkley pit was attracted to over 300 Snow Geese and other water fowl too, because it was a large body of water and looked like a great place to rest.. Low and behold they rest in peace now. The animals will be eating tainted grass and drinking tainted water and for some reason I don't think this is healthy for the animal nor the unlucky hunter who shoots one of these animals and feeds it too their children. Hopefully some day a complaint won't come in that says one of Charlie Coleman's relatives, has struck an animal on Mt1 between Anaconda and Opportunity. I bet you wouldn't enjoy that complaint one bit. Numerous families have gone through this already since the property has been fenced and grass has been planted. This problem will only get worse, the more animals move into there, the more heart ache people will be going through because of collisions. .

Opportunity residents protested when the first shipment arrived last week? Where? Explain...
Would you live in Opportunity Charlie? Would you raise a family there? Would you complain if you DID live there?

Also, “We think as part of the capping process it’s going to be a good medium Coleman said.” WE THINK? Don't we know? or
We think this is a good remedy, and we think it’s going to be a very useful and vibrant place for the community to use and we’re looking forward to getting it done,” Scalley said. WE THINK? Don't we know?

There are a lot of unanswered questions here. What is going to happen to the tons of silt from Mill Town when they dry out and we get the big wind storms in December or January? The grass won't be growing there yet. Opportunity and Warm Springs eat poison dust AGAIN..
EPA, I am ashamed to say you work for our gov for the citizen. It surely doesn't look like it here.
