Silverton Postpones Superfund Vote As Deadline Looms
(Courtesy EPA) Town leaders had hoped to vote on the application this Thursday. They’re pushing up against a deadline this weekend to complete their application. But there’s hope that the Environmental Protection Agency will grant a deadline extension.
A major sticking point is the boundary of the Superfund site. Silverton officials want a narrow designation that won’t brush up against town limits. The EPA is looking to broaden the boundaries to address more abandoned mines.
A public comment meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m.
