| Abstract | The industry profile presents the results of the EPA's research into the domestic phosphate and molybdenum industry and is one of a series of profiles of major mining sectors. The technical resources document consists of two site visits conducted by EPA to a phosphate mine in Florida and a molybdenum mine in Idaho during 1991 and 1992. Drafts were distributed for review to representatives of the companies and of states agencies who participated in the site visits, as well as the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Mines and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. Their comments and EPA's responses are presented as appendices to the report. Both reports include a general facility description, the environmental setting (climate, surface water, geology, hydrogeology, and wildlife), facility operations, waste and materials management, regulatory requirements and compliance and groundwater monitoring data. |
