We believe the drinking water resources in this area of the county are greatly affected due the contamination found. With several drinking water wells already found to be contaminted, the contaminator should be held liable and responsible for the costs of aquiring new water sources for the city. These costs are in the millions of dollars per well. Also the entire area west of the contaminated site is populated with residences. The contamination in the shallow aquifer could volitalize and affect the air in the basements of these residences. We very much support including this site on the National Priorities List.
