EPA tells Cominco to pay for contamination study By LISA STIFFLER
U.S. regulators ordered a Canadian mining company yesterday to deal with pollution in Lake Roosevelt or they will do it themselves and try to make the company pay for it.
The Environmental Protection Agency sent a unilateral order to Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. demanding that the company pay to study contamination that dates back a century. If Cominco doesn't act within 30 days, the EPA will start the investigation and is threatening legal action to recover its costs.

Gil Arnold, chairman of the Environmental Mining Council of B.C., said Teck Cominco should try to work out a solution with the EPA to address significant health and environmental concerns.
He added that the company is enjoying strong metal prices and a buoyant stock price.
'My feeling is that [Teck Cominco] are in a position to clean this up and should get on with it,' he said.------------------------------------------- posted 10:01 AM :: reference link ::
