    Heather McMurray of the Sunland Park Grassroots Environmental Group will hold a press conference on October 11th to release formerly confidential EPA documents regarding Asarco Texas Smelter. The documents show that for nearly a decade, Asarco secretly and illegally burned toxic waste at their smelter under the guise of "sham recycling" and "energy recovery". EPA officials were worried that metals testing would uncover the illegal burning that had occurred at Asarco facilities in El Paso, Texas and Corpus Christi, Texas. The environmental groups want the Asarco contamination fully exposed and correct cleanup measures to begin.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 09-October-2006 8:00 A.M. MDT

    Asarco Texas Smelter Secretly Burned Toxic Waste for nearly a Decade

    EPA-Federal Department of Justice (D.O.J.) papers documenting the illegal


    burning were sealed from news reporters, and public -- until now.

    EL PASO, TX – El Paso Get the Lead Out and Sunland Park Grassroots
    Environmental Group will release formerly confidential EPA-Federal Department
    of Justice (D.O.J.) documents at 5:30 MDT, 11-October-2006 in a National Press
    Conference. The group will meet across from the El Paso Asarco smelter, on the access-
    road paralleling Paisano (near old Smelter Town and the IBWC American Dam Offices).

    “SHAM RECYCLING”
    • Asarco illegally burned hazardous waste sent from Corpus Christi

    • Asarco used their new Con-Top furnaces for this “Sham Recycling”
    calling it “Energy Recovery”

    A smoking-gun EPA internal memo shows how top environmental officials were worried
    that metals-testing might uncover what had happened in El Paso, TX and at Asarco-
    Encycle in Corpus Christi.

    The El Paso GTLO, Concerned Citizens of Sunland Park and concerned groups want
    the Asarco Contamination exposed, the responsible officials to “step-down”, and
    correct clean-up to begin.
