In Montana (like here) Asarco is transferring the deed to the still secret-toxic-wastes to the PUBLIC. (WAKE UP EL PASO!!!!!) And they plan to sell off parcels (sound familiar?) and even talked about using the ground-up slag for sand-traps at their golf-course ...

"Wardell is optimistic of future redevelopment too, especially once the bankruptcy proceedings end and it's clear who owns Asarco. A legal agreement already has been reached - but won't be instituted until the bankruptcy is completed - that the Asarco-owned lands in Montana will be deeded to a custodial trust, owned by the public and managed by the Boston-based Greenfield Environmental Trust Group.
The group can sell the lands, including parcels that create a band of currently unusable property around East Helena that has stymied expansion of the community. Money from the sale would go back into the custodial trust, and used to pay for some remediation costs - including underground arsenic and selenium plumes - plus the cost of administering the trust.
In addition, the court-approved settlement calls for $5 million in compensatory fees to be put into a separate trust and used for things like wildlife improvement projects or acquisitions for recreational purposes in the East Helena area."

for more information about what they are all covering-up.... the details of what they did are still being covered-up and the public still needs to know what chemicals are involved
