NPL Site Narrative for ACM Smelter and Refinery
Cascade County, Montana
Site Location:
The site is a former metals refinery adjacent to the unincorporated community of Black Eagle along the Missouri River in Cascade County, Montana. The City of Great Falls is located across the Missouri River from the site.
Site History:
The Boston & Montana Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining Company began construction of the first smelter at the 427-acre metals refinery site in 1892. Primary products from activities at the site were copper, zinc, arsenic, and cadmium. Operations began in 1893 when ore from mines in Butte, Montana, was concentrated, smelted, and refined. Electrolytic and furnace refineries also operated at the site. The property was acquired by Anaconda Copper Mining Company in 1910. Smelting and refining activities continued at the facility until the early 1970s. The property again changed hands in 1977 when these holdings were purchased by Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCo). The plant began closure in 1973. ARCo has conducted limited cleanup of the former facility, but the site has never been under an approved cleanup program with EPA or the state. A recycling facility and golf course currently remain on a portion of the site.
Site Contamination/Contaminants:
The plant stack was designed to emit lead, arsenic, and other metals in emissions. As a regular practice, tailings, smelter wastes, slag, and flue dust were dumped into the Missouri River until 1915, after which most wastes were deposited on site. The state estimated 27.5 to 31 million tons of slag and tailings were dumped directly into the river. Contaminants associated with these sources included antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc.
Potential Impacts on Surrounding Community/Environment:
In 2007 and 2008, EPA soil studies of residential yards in Black Eagle found approximately 45% of the sampled yards had elevated levels of lead and/or arsenic. Stack deposition from the smelter between 1893 and 1972 is most likely responsible for yard contamination. Residents reported that some of their housing was constructed using materials from the site. In 2004, the Missouri River was found to be contaminated from dumping and site runoff. These wastes are widespread and have been identified in the river at Fort Benton, 34 miles downstream from the site. The Missouri River is a fishery for area residents.
Response Activities (to date):
There have been no response activities to date.
Need for NPL Listing:
Montana referred the site to EPA in 2002. More recently, Cascade County sent a letter to Montana expressing their support for listing. Other federal cleanup programs were evaluated, but are not viable because of the complexity of the site and the need for enforcement mechanisms. EPA received a letter of support for placing this site on the NPL from the Governor.
[The description of the site (release) is based on information available at the time the site was evaluated with the HRS. The description may change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of contamination. See 56 FR 5600, February 11, 1991, or subsequent FR notices.]

MP says court closure would harm justice
Posted: April 08, 2014|
FEARS have been raised that witnesses could be forced to travel to court on the same trains as the people they are giving evidence against if a court closure goes ahead.
The six-week consultation proposes reducing the number and type of cases held in Worksop Magistrates' Court and proposes sending all youth, family, civil and criminal cases to Mansfield.
Bassetlaw MP John Mann raised the issue in the House of Commons on Monday.
He said: "This is the death of the last remaining court in Bassetlaw – Worksop court – through 1,000 cuts. Bit by bit, justice has been stripped away.
Related content
"What are the practical implications? In their document, the Government suggest a small journey – a 30-mile round trip – failing to recognise the geographical size of Bassetlaw. It takes more time, to pick an entirely random comparison, to journey across Bassetlaw by car than it does to journey from this place to Basingstoke.
"If a person is lucky and buses are available, they could potentially get to Mansfield and the courts in three hours but not in time to turn up for the start of court. Having got there, they would not be able to get back home.
"Witnesses wishing to appear in court who do not have access to their own transport will not be able practically to make a return journey and, if they do, on the one train they could take from Worksop that gets to Mansfield in time they would be sitting in the same carriages as those they were giving evidence against."
Shailesh Vara, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, said: "I understand the concern that some of the changes may result in increased travel for victims and witnesses in the north of the county, which is why the criminal justice system is looking at ways to overcome that, especially by making the most of video technology."
He added that "no decisions" on the future of the court had been made.

State board upholds South Portland tax assessment of Maine Mall
SOUTH PORTLAND — The owners of the Maine Mall received some good news and some bad news this week.
While the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York accepted General Growth Properties' plan for the reorganization of $10.25 billion in debt, the Maine Board of Property Tax Review on Tuesday denied the company's appeal of its South Portland property taxes.
The Maine Mall and its outlying properties were among the Chicago-based company's holdings included in the debt reorganization approved Tuesday.
GGP, meanwhile, has 60 days to appeal the tax ruling to Cumberland County Superior Court. Attorney Jonathan Goldberg, GGP's local representative, said it's too early to say whether that will happen.
"I haven't had a chance to speak with my client," Goldberg said. "I don't have any information now about what the next step is, if any. It may end here, but there is a right to appeal. I have no idea at this point whether GGP is interested in making the appeal."
The review board reached its 4-0 decision after hearing three days of testimony in October and brief oral arguments from Goldberg and the city's attorney, William Dale. The board deliberated for more than three hours before ruling.
At issue was the city's 2006 assessment of the mall and its outlying properties. Those holdings were valued at about $260 million by the city, but an assessment for GGP argued they are only worth $190 million. GGP was seeking the return of nearly $920,000 in taxes paid, plus interest.
The city defended the assessment by showing that GGP bought the Maine Mall and its outlying properties in 2003 for $270 million. But GGP's appraiser, David Lennhoff, argued that the city assessment included non-real estate value of the business.
City Assessor Elizabeth Sawyer said the review board was not sold on the GGP appraiser's argument. The board was swayed, Sawyer said, by the actual 2003 purchase price.
"One board member said that was the elephant in the room," she said.
Although the company lost, GGP may have gotten off easy in South Portland. In Minnesota, not only was the city's assessment upheld, but GGP was ordered to pay $1.8 million in additional taxes, according to the Star Tribune.
For Sawyer, the win is as much of a personal victory as it was a professional one.
"I can't even tell you what a relief this was," she said. "As of Friday I will be going on vacation, and I'd rather go with this result than any other."
City Finance Director Greg L'Heureux said the city has spent more than $69,000 defending its property tax assessment, with about $20,000 incurred in the last few months. In addition to attorney fees, the city hired outside consultants.
The city has yet to receive a bill for Tuesday's hearings, L'Heureux said.

Thin Client RDP
Hi Guys, i've just bought a new iMac and my wife want to be able to work from home by logging onto her works server. Does anyone know how she can log onto her works server they use "Thin Client RDP"? i have to admit being a newbi mac user i haven't got a clue how this thing works yet. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Ian:D
Not enough info. The phrase "thin client RDP" -- the latter standing for "Remote Desktop Protocol" -- only tell us HOW one connects to the work server, not the actual program they're running.
There are a number of client programs from Microsoft, Citrix and others. A good start would be asking the IT department how remote PCs connect and what software they need to use. For heaven't sake DON'T tell them you're trying to connect with a Mac, if they're like most IT departments I've run across they will first scorn you and then actively try to sabotage you.

- Summary:
- The Museum has the unskinned front fuselage section of an unidentified GAF-built Nomad. The fuselage section is of conventional semi-monocoque construction with frames and stringers of aluminium alloy 2024 painted in a primer-coat. The fuselage section was obtained by the Museum from GAF in 1982 as Nomad production wound down. It was described as a "scrap" section by GAF and is apparently an un-used production spare. The Museum acquired the fuselage as an example of modern metal aircraft structure.

In 1868, C.N. James settled in what is now Augusta and built a log home to serve as a general store and trading post. He named the new settlement after his wife, Augusta. The James family original log cabin structure still stands at its original location.
The first train rolled into Augusta in 1881 to support the growth of livestock production and increased agriculture in the area. Shortly after the turn of the century, two railroad companies would serve the town, the Santa Fe and the Frisco.
The discovery of oil and natural gas in Butler County lead to further growth and became a major source of employment for many years.

Kim Porter, Estelle & Publicist Marvet Britto
Ha! Kim Porter is at work! She hosted a special upcoming album party at Phillipe Chow earlier today for singer Estelle. Although, a date hasn't been set for Estelle's new album, she has been toying around with titling the album "All of Me".
Other party guests included Denyce Lawton, Jill Marie Jones, Hill Harper, Miss Info, Claudia Jordan, Melyssa Ford and Terrence J. I'm sure ex-friends Denyce Lawton and Melyssa Ford in the same room must have made for a pretty awkward situation. More pics below:

DURHAM, N.H. - The University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team entered the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division I Poll that was released Monday at No. 20. UNH, which had been listed as 'others receiving votes' in two of the previous seven polls this season, is nationally ranked for the first time since April 27, 1992, when the Wildcats were 11th in the nation.
In 2001, New Hampshire was an 'others receiving votes' team in five of the final seven polls.
UNH extended its winning streak to five games last week and improved to 7-3 with a 12-5 road win against the College of the Holy Cross and a 23-0 victory against Binghamton University. The 23 goals was the most by a Wildcat team since 1987 and the 23-goal margin of victory was the second-highest in school history. It also marked the seventh shutout - and the first since 1981 - in UNH history.
The winning streak, which was the longest since a six-game streak in 1992, came to an end April 14 with a 14-5 road loss to Syracuse University, which was No. 14 in last week's poll and is currently 16th. UNH, which fell behind 5-0 midway through the first half, closed within 7-4 in the opening minute of the second half but was outscored 4-0 over the next 10 minutes as SU regained control of the game.
New Hampshire (7-4 overall, 2-0 America East) returns to action April 17 (3:30 p.m.) at America East rival Boston University. The Wildcats then conclude the regular season with four home games. The 'Cats complete their conference slate April 20 against the University at Albany. Game time at Memorial Field is noon. UNH also plays host to Stanford University on April 21 (11 a.m.).

The following incidents were obtained from Berkeley County Sheriffs Office reports:
A Goose Creek man told police he was recently the victim of an armed robbery near Redbank Road. The victim said he was walking down the back street of a trailer park at about 5:30 p.m. when two male suspects wearing all black approached him. One subject assaulted him and demanded money. The victim handed over all the money he had. The subjects fled out of the back of the trailer park.
The victim ran home and called 911.
A Ladson man parked his pickup truck at his Scotch Pines Lane residence over the weekend. When he went to start the truck the next Monday the gas cap was open and the tank appeared empty. The complainant said when he last drove the vehicle it had about half a tank of gas.
The complainant said he believes someone siphoned the gas.
A Pineville man apparently had a wild ride at about 10 a.m. on a recent morning while attempting to pull a utility trailer through Goose Creek. A complainant said the subject was driving on Westminster Boulevard toward St. James Avenue when he saw a blue SUV pulling a utility trailer driving toward him and weaving into the opposite lane of traffic.
The complainant slowed down and pulled up next to the SUV, which had stopped. The complainant asked if the subject was OK, but found that he got out of the vehicle unsteady on his feet, was staggering, spitting up saliva and appeared extremely intoxicated. The subject went to the rear of his vehicle and attempted to re-attach the trailer with a chain. The complainant said the SUV was not equipped with a trailer ball and hitch, and the subject wrapped a chain from the utility trailer around his bumper. The subject then dropped the trailer and drove off.
A deputy soon made contact with the subject, who was in the drivers seat with the door open, his left leg hanging out and his body slumped over in the vehicle. He was passed out. The deputy sat him on the grass, where he vomited. The deputy notified dispatch of a possible DUI. The subject denied having a trailer or ever pulling one that morning.
A Harbour Lake Drive resident was arrested for being disorderly after he received a noise complaint for playing loud music at about 4 p.m. on a recent afternoon. The deputy could hear the music coming from the subjects apartment and made contact with him. After the subject turned the music down he would not produce an ID and said he did not care about the loud music and did not care if he received a citation.
The deputy then obtained the subjects ID and wrote a ticket for loud music, a violation of county code 38-1. As the deputy was leaving, standing next to small children in the parking lot, he heard the subject shout profanities. He approached the subject again who was standing outside his apartment and claimed to have shouted the profanities at his neighbor. The deputy placed the subject under arrest and transported him to the detention center.

Expansion being considered
A vote by recreation leaders on Thursday endorsed a proposed plan for Henderson and Vance County to more than double the size of the David Street Park.
The Henderson-Vance Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the proposal that Henderson Code Compliance Director Corey Williams had a hand in helping prepare.
Five lots along Lamb Street are becoming available through an ongoing agenda of demolition orders by the city, and are currently jointly owned by the city and county through liens for back taxes and demolition costs, Recreation Director Alan Gill said.
"This has just come to my attention recently," Gill said. "The David Street Park was established in 2007 as part of the Community Development Block Grant program that funded improvements. The funding is what built a playground area there."
Three lots on David Street became available because of demolitions in 2007. The growth of the David Street Park would initially be used as green space, Gill added.
"We will consider options once the space is added," Gill said. "It hasn't been considered yet, but it would provide additional green space, play area and parking."
Currently, a split-rail fence runs between the David Street Park and four proposed lots on Lamb Street. A fifth proposed lot has 70 feet of frontage on Main Street, branching northward from the four bordering lots.
"This otherwise was a run-down little area," Gill said. "Before it is added to David Street Park, any houses on it will be torn down."
Daniel Young, a new city member of the recreation commission, said he was uncertain from maps provided how the layout of the park would appear in reality.
Commission Chairman Randy Oxendine said last year a commission session dedicated to taking commission members on a ride around to visit all the park areas helped with giving them an orientation to how ideas for park changes translate in reality at those parks.
"That helped us all to know the park locations better," Oxendine said.
Because the proposed properties are jointly owned, the commission recommendation proceeds to both the Henderson City Council and the Vance County Board of Commissioners for further votes on approval to remove the lots from their for sale list and add them to the David Street Park.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Quarterback Mike Kafka ran for two touchdowns and Northwestern's defense came up with four turnovers Saturday as the Wildcats beat winless Miami of Ohio 16-6.
Northwestern (4-2) overcame a sluggish performance by its own offense, sacking Miami quarterback Zac Dysert seven times -- five in the first half -- and intercepting him three times.
Northwestern's Brian Peters had an interception and recovered a fumble by Dysert in the third quarter to set up Northwestern's second touchdown.
Peters returned the fumble 27 yards to the Miami 27. And on the next play, Kafka hit fullback Jacob Schmidt with a 25-yard pass to the Miami 2 before sneaking the ball in three plays later, putting the Wildcats ahead 16-0.
Miami (0-6) got in the end zone with 1:19 left when Dysert completed a 23-yard TD pass to Andy Cruse to cap a 62-yard drive. The two-point conversion pass failed.
Dysert, who was sacked 10 times last week by Cincinnati, played tough, but mistakes hurt the RedHawks, who are still looking for a win under first-year coach Michael Haywood.
Kafka completed three passes to Zeke Markshausen, one for 25 yards, during a 72-yard scoring drive at the end of the first quarter. After a personal foul penalty on the RedHawks, Kafka carried the final six yards for the TD with five seconds left in the opening quarter, making it 10-0.
Miami drove to the Northwestern 28 late in the first quarter but safety Brad Phillips blitzed and sacked Dysert for a seven-yard loss. The RedHawks went for it on fourth-and-17, but Phillips hit Dysert again as he was passing, the ball was tipped by Kevin Watt and intercepted by Nate Williams to end the drive.
Miami reached the Northwestern 16 in the closing seconds of the half when Dysert hit Brayden Coombs with a 23-yard pass. But with 11 seconds to go, Dysert couldn't find a receiver, had to scramble, didn't get out of bounds and was hit down by Phillips and Williams on the 11 as time expired.
Northwestern's Stefan Demos hit his ninth straight field goal without a miss this season, a 46-yarder, for an early 3-0 lead. His streak ended in the second quarter when Miami's Austin Brown blocked his 40-yard attempt.
Miami's starting tailback Andre Bratton injured his ankle in the first half. And Northwestern lost starting safety Brendan Smith to an upper body injury, giving Peters more playing time.
