CFAC concerns from C-Falls citizens
The proposed cleanup plan for the CFAC Superfund site is unacceptable.
The CFAC property is a beautiful 960 acres of land along the Flathead River and below Teakettle Mountain – it’s the true Gateway to Glacier. Our community should be dreaming big about how that land will be used in the future – open space, light manufacturing, community gathering place, commercial use, wildlife corridor, affordable housing, trail network, concert venue – there are countless possibilities to consider. We can look to the successful cleanup and redevelopment of the Milltown Superfund site near Missoula as an inspiring example of what is possible.
For the CFAC property to remain forever barricaded behind fences and unfit for human use would be a great tragedy. The only reason that has been put forward by the EPA as the preferred plan is that the multi-billion-dollar company responsible for the clean-up does not want to pay to remove the toxic waste. Our community deserves a better solution!
