Acid Canyon

This is a report citing studies done by or on behalf of CCNS in 1999. The study is on the effects of the contamination of South Fork of Acid Canyon on the community. Very interesting - even though it is old. I am continuing to look for updated information.

This article, from late 2001, explains the clean up of Acid Canyon, and is put out by LANL

http://www.lanl.gov/news/releases/archive/01-091.shtml

This is a report on the soil clean up in Acid Canyon, written in 2005.

This case was published on a blog and written by Raam Wong, who writes for the Albuquerque Journal. A woman claims the plutonium in Acid Canyon is responsible for her father's recent death.

Tecton Energy

This web page is from the Santa Fe New Mexican in January 2008. The point of the article, by Robin Martin, is to discuss the likelihood that the controversy is worth the fight - in terms of the potential for black gold in the Galisteo basin.
