Drilling operations in the well were completed in April of 1986; all traces of development was removed during the summer of 1986 and the area was revegetated.   Wonderful.  Now perhaps they will take away the detritus that is scattered all over from the pipeline construction.  It's not that the developers cannot clean up after themselves; it is that they will not do it.   They happily give up the .50 an acre or so that our government threatens to fine them with, because the bottom line is their only consideration.  When I'm looking at carabou resting happily next to the rusting worker quarters, I can guess that they will just stand there until they fall down.  It's what I call the western method.  Anyone who has lived in the western states knows that the ranchers abandon their broken machinery right in the fields, and it simply sits there and falls to pieces after enough years.  That's why the cattle all have a magnet in their stomachs, so they can graze safely amid the debris.  Go to New Mexico and take a look at the remnants of the mines that are no longer being worked.  All the trash is right there.  Wouldn't want to clean up.  Might set a precedent.  We don't really need "new" technology.  We need a clean up of the corporate mind.    Prudy  www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
