St. Louis, MO (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) March 24, 2005 -- Barbara Shepard, The Doe Run Company’s vice
president of human resources and community relations, has released the following
statement regarding the company’s ongoing environmental efforts at the
Rivermines Superfund site in St. Francois County, Missouri.
"Doe Run will
undertake reclamation work at the Rivermines site, including reshaping the main
chat pile; re-grading, adding soil cover and seeding the tailings area;
excavating and beautifying the site; and working with the City of Park Hills to
monitor public access. We’re eager to proceed with the projects, several of
which we have already started. Doe Run is committed to working with our local
communities on these efforts, and we will update residents on the progress. For
instance, we have partnered with the Old Lead Belt Materials, a local company
that uses chat for asphalt and road applications, so that it can continue to
operate on the site—a positive for all involved."
