Settlement reached on Sunflower property

An out-of-court settlement reached this week will force the federal
government to assess contamination at the defunct Sunflower Army
Ammunition Plant site near De Soto.

The settlement, reached Thursday between the U.S. General Services
Administration and an activist group in Johnson County, says the federal
government must also make a greater effort to list historic artifacts
and catalog toxic wastes at the 9,065-acre site before it is transferred
to new owners.

The government also must pay the group $50,000 in court costs. Other
details of the settlement were not released, but it has been approved by
the Justice Department.

The lawsuit was filed four years ago by Taxpayers Offering Tomorrow's
Opportunities Inc.
