Question of the Day (5/10/05)

Issue: BNSF cleared to reopen fuel depot: County official vows to revoke permit, move facility off aquifer/James Hagengruber, SR.

DFO: As long as that depot operates near Hauser, it will be fouling the Spokane Valley/Rathdrum Aquifer -- no matter how safe railroad execs claim the facility is.

Question: Do you trust the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to protect the public interest in forcing BNSF to keep train diesel out of our water source?
