"Air pollution from the Tacoma smelter settled on the surface soil over a vast region – more than 1,000 square miles of the Puget Sound basin. Elevated levels of arsenic, lead and other heavy metals polluted soil and groundwater around the region."

Imagine how many square miles the Asarco El Paso stacks contaminated. 1000 square miles is over 15 miles away from the stacks --- and this would include the Santa Teresa international development, Petroleum tank farms, and other industries being built within the "ZONE".
Scroll to end: click web view. Heather Mcmurray 's work exposing the poisoning of 1000 square miles around El Paso by Asarco smelter through what the EPA & US DOJ said was illegal burning of illegal hazardous/radioactive wastes 1991 to 1998. We have never been told what actinides are present from illegal Asarco actions(see 73 page 1998 conf. for settlement purposes only DOJ EPA Asarco doc,10/06 nytimes) see "Asarco secret document"
