Thats too bad. We are used to delays around here. The smelter closed in 83'. It will be 30 years from closure to re-opening. Wow!
Remember when you were a kid. Your parents would sit around and talk about things that went on 30 years ago? You'd think to yourself...Man thet seems like a life time. Well kids. Here we go.
Wildlife on the Asarco site is not what's in the Pt Ruston Big Plan, obviously. When you ask the question, why is the tunnel closure being delayed? Well, who cares what the real answer is. If there's a possible financial issue here with a development that may or may not happen in the next 10 years, so be it. I'm with the last ananomous - I'll enjoy the wildlife while we have them. Think of the BP oil spill and be grateful that the people, animals and plant life here at least have a chance to help balance nature, even on the Asarco contaminated land and water. Someday the tunnel will open, which will mean the beginning of the end for wildlife as we know it here; but I'm not going to worry about it. Can't do anything about it anyway and most people in Ruston want the tax base, not the animals.

in the meantime the asarco land can stay friendly to wild life and migrating birds for awhile.
