| A Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) provides money for activities that
help communities located near Superfund sites participate in the mine reclamation
decision making process. TAG's for Superfund
sites are funded by the EPA.
Under the Superfund law, the EPA has awarded a Technical Assistance Grant
of $50,000 to the Río Colorado Reclamation Committee. This allows
the RCRC to hire independent experts to help interpret technical data and
to disseminate this information to the affected
community. This helps its members better understand site hazards and
become more knowledgeable about the different technologies that are being
used to clean up the Molycorp
mine site and the
Red River. It also keeps its members better informed and allows them
to participate in determining the future of the Red River, Questa, Cerro,
and other communities that have been affected by the activities of the Molycorp
mine. More info: |
