    Kaiser investigated for PCB contamination AP, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
    A new Kaiser report, dated Feb. 25, shows some of the site's groundwater samples are contaminated by PCBs at twice the state cleanup standard.

    Kaiser spokesman Scott Lamb said Kaiser sent the memo 'to make sure employees were aware of the investigation and knew they had the option' to talk to a lawyer.

    Dave Carlson, president of the United Steelworkers of America Local 338 at Trentwood, said the company would post the memo inside the rolling mill and at the gates where Kaiser's 375 union workers enter the plant.

    'We have no plans to use their lawyers, but that's up to the individual worker,' he said.
