I saw this news blurb in The Washington Times newspaper two days ago:
Where would we find authoritative information on this? (Not that former Congressman Allen West is at all unreliable, just that I would like original sources).
Apparently, as the article says, the problem is EPA regs and/or permitting:
Anybody know of this or have any hard information?
Can we stop shutdown of this smelter? Can other, smaller smelters fill the US domestic need?
This is from an article Allen West warns Obama’s ‘backdoor gun control is moving forward’.Come 2014, all ammunition sold to civilian gun-owners in America will have to be imported, a result of President Obama’s crackdown on sulfur dioxide and lead emissions
Where would we find authoritative information on this? (Not that former Congressman Allen West is at all unreliable, just that I would like original sources).

The link in the article to more details on the Doe Run Lead Smelter is http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/the-doe-run-lead-smelter/, which is just a generalized search of The Washington Times for any content on that smelter, of which there is none except the present article.the situation stemmed from the shutdown of The Doe Run Lead Smelter in Missouri, a business that’s been around since 1892 but due to close at the end of this month. Mr. West said it’s due to new air standards placed on the company that would have cost $100 million to achieve.
Anybody know of this or have any hard information?
Can we stop shutdown of this smelter? Can other, smaller smelters fill the US domestic need?
