Hurley smokestacks demolition rescheduled

Phelps Dodge has announced the new date for the demolition of the Hurley Smokestacks: Tuesday, June 5. The time will again be 10 a.m.
I meant to post this earlier, but this is the plan (PDF) for monitoring air quality during the demolition.
Notice the date on the plan is prior to GRIP’s complaint. The one they said they forced to be created.

Actually, GRIP filed their petition on May 14, four days before this plan was made public (and, based on the Word document properties (I’m the one who created the PDF version) three days before this document was written).

But I’m sure you realize that the creation or modification date of the document they sent you doesn’t necessarily mean that the plan was written on that date.

Nerd, as I stated, the “Word Document properties” indicate the plan was drafted on May 17, three days after the petition was filed, and the day the New Mexico Environment Department’s Air Quality Bureau met with Phelps Dodge. I didn’t create the word document, I only saved it as a PDF for publication here.
The plan itself states it was written on May 17 (which you’d know, I’m sure, if you had read it).

Of course, the fact that the document text itself says May 17th might be a clue…
Sorry.

Why aren’t they monitoring crystaline silica? It is as bad or worse than asbestos.
Why aren’t they using collection plates and ghost wiping samples? (especially from playground equipment)
I also note that CDI didn’t release their air monitoring reports from the Indiana Rubber Stack where they had the same paint on the stack and it became friable upon the stack’s collapse.
