  • @mrsahonima it has been back and forth for years, I find it interesting that in a time where most government agency's are scrambling to stay afloat, they finally make idra a superfund. Oh how I hate the EPA.

  • Great historical document-thanks for posting this. By the way: New Idria, abandoned for decades now, has recently been designated an EPA Superfund site.

  • MERCURY yeah is one of the most toxic substance on earth -.-

  • GREAT FOOTAGE!

  • @vmelkon Very few use sodium. Vast majority uses water (regular or heavy).
