State Now In Control Of Cleanup At Anaconda Copper Mine

Nevada’s Anaconda Copper Mine has been removed from an updated list of national Superfund cleanup sites.

An agreement was reached between Governor Brian Sandoval and the EPA that puts the state in control of an expedited cleanup.

The EPA agreed to a deferral request after concluding a public-private partnership would meet federal standards.
