From the early 1920s to 1984, Shattuck operated a plant at the site, processing uranium, radium, molybdenum and rhenium for such things as X-ray equipment and glow-in-the-dark clocks and gauges. The soil and groundwater became contaminated.
The Associated Press
DENVER— In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency thought the problem at the old Shattuck Chemical Co. plant had been laid to rest.
COME BY NOW DRESSED IN BUSINESS CASUAL ATTIRE FOR IMMEDIATE INTERVIEW:
Shattuck officials will not object to waste removal; they just do not want to pay for it, attorney John Faught said. Shattuck paid more than $26 million for the cleanup. Removing the waste would have cost $46 million.

Instead of digging up the contaminated soil and hauling it away, the EPA decided to mix the more than 50,000 cubic yards of radioactive dirt with concrete and fly ash and bury it on the spot under rock and clay, creating a tomb designed to last hundreds of years.
Now that decision may come back to haunt the agency.
City leaders and residents of the blue-collar neighborhood surrounding the Shattuck Superfund Site contend the waste is sinking and fear that contamination may have already seeped into water supplies. They are demanding the
The EPA's ombudsman has launched an investigation to determine if the buried waste really was settling and whether it posed a health risk to the neighborhood.

Neighbors said photos and videotape of the so-called hot rocks showed that they were sinking.
In its preliminary findings, an independent firm, S. Cohen & Associates of McLean, Va., found no immediate threat but said the EPA failed to address long-term effects, the extent of groundwater contamination and possible runoff into the nearby South Platte River.
"The major concern here is the protection of the citizens of Denver and the people around the site," said Tim Fields, assistant EPA administrator.
Fields said he expected to decide by November what to do about the waste.
