Fred Mumford Quotations

We're interested and excited about the preservation of this property because of its historical value.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for any facility that fails to conduct the sampling.

We do not have specific information suggesting this ore or tailings were naturally elevated in arsenic. Sampling and analysis of the ore or tailings away from the sludge disposal are needed. We are recommending to EPA that Ford do additional background sampling to obtain this data.

There are a lot of internal meetings going on here. We obviously don't have the power to make the quarry resume pumping.

We will be sampling those irrigation wells, as well as other sampling. It is hard to predict what this investigation will find, and hard to predict a specific time frame when the report will be completed. The data they obtain will drive the rest of the investigation.

The pumping in Rolling Hills (Condominiums) may have to be a permanent solution. We may have to issue permits so they can continue to do that.

We should have the funds authorized within the next couple of weeks, and then we will sign the contracts with United Water and the township.
