Alcoa Discharging Cyanide into Badin Lake
Alcoa continues to discharge cyanide and fluoride into Badin Lake, which is not only an important recreational place but also the source of our drinking water. This impacts West Badin and our entire county. There are other solutions to cleaning up the toxic spent potliner stored in our county.
