EPA to Clean World's Worst Water
20 October 2000 - 9:15am
EPA has awarded a contract to clean one of the most toxic Superfund sites in the nation that is "home to the world's most acidic water."
"The treatment plant costs about $4.5 million a year to run and will have to be operated 'in perpetuity,' said Winston Hickox, head of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The site probably won't ever be cleaned up completely, Hickox said. The best solution is to capture and treat the runoff before it reaches the river, he said. "

Its very unsuitability for an urban center justifies its current usage as a suburban or ex-urban pattern.
