Old Mission Repository Update
The Inspector General has finalized their report of the Old Mission Repository.....
"specific geochemical and physical concerns and adequacy of the repository design to prevent dissolved contaminant release ... yet to be evaluated".
The Inspector General states
this site is not suitable!
Yet Region X EPA and
Idaho Dept. of Environmental Quality
continue construction and toxic dumping,
defying the Inspector General's report.
