Fred Mumford Sampling Quotations

We do not have specific information suggesting this ore or tailings were naturally elevated in arsenic. Sampling and analysis of the ore or tailings away from the sludge disposal are needed. We are recommending to EPA that Ford do additional background sampling to obtain this data.

We will be sampling those irrigation wells, as well as other sampling. It is hard to predict what this investigation will find, and hard to predict a specific time frame when the report will be completed. The data they obtain will drive the rest of the investigation.
