   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.
