We are some of the Silverton residents who are in support of cleaning up our waters and past mining areas by using EPA’s CERCLA (Superfund) or another entity at the federal, regional or state level that has the funding and resources to do so. We would like our mining heritage problem of acidic and heavy metals leaking into our waters to be cleaned up in a timely manner, with long-term monitoring and supporting a water treatment plant for years to come. We would like our town and county to do the best job they can in researching and talking to all parties involved that can help solve our past mining environmental issues and to finally put into action a major cleanup.
