Documentary to be featured at 10th annual Tar Creek conference w/ September 2008 EPA Tar Creek project progress report

“We want to encourage anyone who signed a petition, attended a meeting, made those organizing calls, those who stood up and spoke out to come, see this movie, and see why the fight was so important and to celebrate their efforts,” she said. “This area fought to protect their neighbors and their environment from an industry that rarely loses.”

Reports will focus on the cultural impacts of the Tri-State Mining District, the Quapaw Tribe’s air-monitoring project at Picher, the passive treatment of contaminated mine water, and tracing the sources of metals in Tar Creek flood-plain soil after the 2007 flood.

Updates

Those attending the conference will receive updates from several state and federal agencies that are working at the site, which was placed on the National Priorities List of hazardous-waste sites in the early 1980s. Details: (918) 540-6204 or visit www.leadagency.org.
