"The groundwater at the facility has arsenic, lead, and cadmium concentrations
above the maximum contaminant level (MCL). ......The most prevalent
COC in the groundwater is arsenic. Currently, the highest concentration of
arsenic in the groundwater occurs in onsite well EP-49 with a concentration of
62.5 mg/L, which is approximately 6,200 times the MCL for arsenic. The area of
contaminated groundwater is shown in Figure 5."

It is all about "CLOSURE" and not about "DISCLOSURE" of the illegal and formerly secret toxic-waste burning (some of military origins) done by ASARCO El Paso from 1992-1998 (NYTIMES 10/06)--- and revealed when finally some HONEST person in the DOJ released the "confidential settlement document" as a public document after EIGHT YEARS of secrecy.
