This is a another example of corperate and human greed. These people were looking for a shortcut putting the entire valley population at risk. Its no wonder this is such a polluted place to live. This type of behvior has been going for 150 years. precious metals mining, burning coal, oil refineries, and uranium smelting and refining have all contributed their waste to this valley. When will it stop so we can enjoy the clear view of the wasatch take a walk and breath easy.

Don't overreact please, they didn't put the entire valley at risk as the water they discharged goes straight to the central valley processing center and is treated again there. The amounts that Rio Tinto and MagCorp dish out are probably larger than JM's whole refinery! But that is just heresay on my part.
