Along with pristine wild lands and towering mountains, House District 3 also has a Super Fund Site where the old Columbia Falls Aluminum Company (CFAC) used to operate. Last night, I attended a meeting of concerned citizens called the Coalition for a Clean CFAC who are working to ensure that the cleanup plan is not “waste in place” but removal of the waste to an appropriate toxic waste site. There are major concerns with the current plan to contain waste behind slurry walls onsite which could pollute the Flathead River and surrounding wells. The current plan would leave the 900-acre site a toxic waste dump forever. The Coalition is asking for a pause before this plan goes forward in order for there to be an independent cost feasibility analysis on waste removal and the chance for community visioning about future uses for this site which is located outside the city limits of Columbia Falls.
