"Doe Run will undertake reclamation work at the Rivermines site, including reshaping the main chat pile; re-grading, adding soil cover and seeding the tailings area; excavating and beautifying the site; and working with the City of Park Hills to monitor public access. Were eager to proceed with the projects, several of which we have already started. Doe Run is committed to working with our local communities on these efforts, and we will update residents on the progress. For instance, we have partnered with the Old Lead Belt Materials, a local company that uses chat for asphalt and road applications, so that it can continue to operate on the site-a positive for all involved."
