The 17th well had three parts per billion of active cyanide. "We still have a bunch of work to do ... but ultimately that's a very positive number, and it's significantly lower than anyone expected, but that's where we're at," he said. Cyanide levels at the Hotel Indigo site along Grandview Parkway measured at 1,300 parts per billion in summer 2013, as previously reported. … For the entire article, see http://www.record-eagle.com/news/local_news/tests-show-cyanide-plume-fading/article_02e5d923-62ae-556c-b1e5-9b49220774c9.html -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center P.O.
