Coalition for a Clean CFAC plans petition drive, but will EPA respond?
A coalition of Flathead County groups is asking the Environmental Protection Agency to pause a Record of Decision on the cleanup plan for the Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. plant.
“We request that EPA and Montana Department of Environmental Quality take a time-out to produce a focused feasibility study evaluating realistic costs for removal of acute and extremely hazardous wastes including the spent potliner and wet scrubber pond wastes to an offsite hazardous waste disposal facility,” the Coalition for a Clean CFAC is asking the EPA and the state Department of Environmental Quality.
The Coalition is made up of representatives from Citizens for a Better Flathead, the Upper Flathead Neighborhood Association and others.
