The Berkeley Pit is only part of the problem. The state's suit against 
ARCO was a classic. ARCO's position was 'We only bought the assets, not 
the liabilities'.

The rest of the story is Anaconda bought the land downwind of the stack 
where the fumes were killing everything. Even today there isn't much 
besides a few stunted trees. Probably not a good place to camp.

For real creativity, build a golf course on the toxic waste.

There were a lot of nervous people in '96 when it was thought the dam 
might go. They don't mention the pickerel :) There used to be a annual 
Pickerel Derby at the reservoir. Before the dam was removed they poisoned 
the reservoir, not wanting to release a bunch of voracious fish.

The downstream fishing access sites used to have signs saying not to eat 
the fish too frequently and to not eat the pike at all. The signs have 
been revised to not eat any of the fish. The settling ponds at the 
abandoned pulp mill are starting to leak into the river. Yet another clean 
up. Smurfit-Stone filed Chapter 11 in 2009 so good luck getting blood out 
of that turnip.
